The mountains are fired up by the hot sun and they turn red at night.
I have a series of pictures that I hope will enthrall you. Especially those in the cold countries.
We are having very hot days over here and we are not even into February month yet. February is our hottest month and the early indications are that we are going to fry under the African sun.
Some areas of the country are already in the 50 Celsius range and our turn will soon arrive.
It is amazing to see how the mountains absorb the heat and they become like hot ovens that heat the winds flowing over them.
We are only 6 kilometers away from the mountains and those same hot winds can make life a little bit unbearable :)
At first I have two afternoon photos for you.
And here are two of the sunset photos. That red color of the mountains reflect the heat that is inside the mountains.
Finally, 3 shots of the moon after the sunset and yes it was still very hot.
Exactly 20 minutes for a bucket of ice to melt that I put in front of the fan here in the study. Even though we have the heat here, some towns inland are still being flooded by severe storms. Yesterday we saw photos of a big flood in a town called Ladysmith. Further afield we know that a volcano erupted under the sea (happens every 900 years), at Tonga resulting in mile high clouds of dust and tsunamis with huge waves creating destruction.
So yes, we face the anger of nature and some are saying that things will get even worse. God forbid that many lives will be lost and if only we started to listen to the warnings about the toxic gasses being pumped into the ozone layer, things could have been normal today.
Maybe they should declare one day of the week a "Happy Pollution Day", as a reminder of the damage that we are causing to our planet and to our lives.
Sorry for the rant but things can simply not continue like this and I mention it far and wide at every opportunity. It is heartbreaking to see dead sea life lying around en mass at the beaches.
And That's All Friends!
