They say that change is a constant and I totally agree.
It was one of those beautiful days, where one can take a short drive to see nature unfolding itself. I had a feeling that we should go to our high lookout spot, and on the way there, I took some shots of the clouds dressing the mountains. We see this very often, but it is never a constant, as the shapes of the clouds on the mountains are forever changing. Some days the clouds will completely cover the mountains, and on other days, like in here, they will only flow over the top peaks of the mountains.
Let's look at the later change.
We arrived at the lookout spot in time for the sunset on the ocean, and some fabulous views started to make their appearance. The autumn equinox arrived this week in the southern hemisphere, and the bright and bold sunset colors, are slowly changing into softer colors.
We love the autumn colors, as most of the trees start to take on yellow hues. Red is also popular, and autumn is known for its rich colors. So, as we now slowly drift into autumn, my target this season will be to visit some dams that are surrounded by trees in order to share the colors with you. The sun continues to shift onto its winter road, and the moon follows suit. We have the habit of counting satellites, roving across the sky, every evening between the hours of 8pm to 9:30pm. Our record count, of the satellites that we saw, is 50 and our average is 20.
We are spoiled over summer with sunsets taking place later in the day, and the change that the winter sunsets, as you see in the pictures here, is already starting to occur earlier. We have had some extra hot summer days here with more humidity than we are used to, and most everyone is welcoming the season changes. As we are in a winter rainfall area, the weatherman reckons that we will see our first rain soon. The rain will be most welcome as the African sun has depleted our dam levels.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
