Nature was emblazoned on the rocky peaks, and the clouds made a difference.
At times when the sun sets behind a cloud line above the sea, then the sunset colors appear inland.
In this case it started to light up the mountain range in the east, and it was a wonderful show. Remember that the sun always sets in the west, and the mountain range is in the east. There were lines of clouds all over the sky, and you will see how the cloudy lines transformed the pictures in here. So, take a little bit of time to come and see the beauty in nature.
A burst of clouds was lingering on the mountains, and a wind blew it along to create a lovely contrast, not only in color but also in a dramatic show above the mountain tops. Not only the narrow line that you can see in the first picture, but rather a beautiful cloudy bow that stretches higher up across the mountain peaks. So, come and have a look at the wonders of nature.
I saw this at home, and I knew that something was up.
Look at that, as we were on the road to get a better view of the sunset on the mountains.
The clouds above the mountains started to expand.
Here, below, was the best shot that I could get of that top cloud.
As we started the drive back home, I got one last shot, and the hill spoilt it a little bit but the clouds were still so lovely to see.
A late Pied Crow was also on its way home. Look how the sun shines on his tummy.
And finally, this is what things looked like when we arrived at home. The sea is behind those bushes, and I told you that there were lines of clouds in the sky. The sun must have sunk behind one of those cloudy lines where it was reflected inland on the mountains.
So many wonders here, and there is always something for a photographer to look at. We are planning our first three-day trip for this year, and we cannot go too far as I have to be near to a hospital, preferably our own hospital at home. So, an hour or three will be the limit for this trip. But then again, all the hospitals have the patient's history online, so if we go to an area with a hospital, then we will be okay for an emergency.
In the meantime, there is much more for me to see here, and we will just continue to explore. We are a bit jealous, as we are in a cold front again with a temperature that averages 13 - 17 C, and higher up in the country they have temperatures of 25 - 30 C. But we take comfort in the fact that the cold fronts will soon stop coming in and then our own sweltering days will also return. That's just the way of the weather over here.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
