skies

• Blasted, totalled, broken-winded, shot-faced London, doing time under sodden skies.

• Both have a kind of totemic power in these skies and know and respect each other.

• Endlessly clear skies and lowering water tables.

• The skies are full, too.

• The Air Force intends the F-22 stealth fighter to be the grimmest perdition to darken the skies since
mythological times.

• Helped by salt and sunny skies, snow will also melt slowly even if the thermometer stays below
freezing.

• The birds call constantly in haunting high cries that make you scan the skies while they are still far
away.
