Glow

33 Comments

We recently had a very sunny day that started becoming overcast by mid-afternoon with clouds swiftly moving in from the south.

I was fortunate enough to leave for my evening ramble in time to see the sunset before it became completely obscured.

I very much enjoyed the counterpoint between grey and orange as the clouds began to envelop the evening sky.

Now that we’re heading into December the sunsets don’t last long – or may be shrouded by gloom – so I took the time to savour this one before it disappeared and the clouds had their way with the skyscape.

Happy Sunday.

      1. It reminded me very much of Scotland, we were there last month.

        I have been to Canada once, but only to Windsor (across the river from Detroit) and only for the day, so it doesn’t really count.

        1. As a large country our weather patterns can be very diverse, but here in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, the winters are usually mild with lots of cloud and rain. We might get a bit of snow but it doesn’t stay long. The mountain ranges on either side of us get lots of it, though! Cheers.

  5. Very beautiful scenes, Lynette! I’m fairly sure that those clouds coming from the south are part of what brought California and Nevada so much rain recently. It’s finally gone! Happy Sunday! ❤️

    1. Thank you very much, John. 😊 Good to hear that your big rainstorm has moved on. Yes, it may have turned north! We don’t often get weather from the south, but the wind came blowing up the valley and bringing a lot of cloud and rain. In the mountains that rain turned to snow so the ski operators are happy. Cheers.

      1. Oh that’s good! Our local ski lodge is now open too, there were so many people heading up the mountain that many had to turn and go home!

  7. Definitely signs of approaching winter weather Lynette. The good news is the sunsets are earlier and the sunrises are later, so we can see them. The bad news is they are not always spectacular. I see snow at home, but still spring green and flowers here. It will be depressing to get back home. Cheers. Allan

    1. That’s very true, Allan. I’m not a big fan of sunsets at 4:30 but that will all change in a couple of months! Yes, much of northern B.C. and the prairies are getting temperatures well below zero next week as a cold front moves through but I would say just enjoy where you are right now. Green grass and spring flowers – wonderful!

    1. Thank you very much, Linda. Sunsets actually are shorter at this time of year because Earth is tilting away from the sun, a process that starts after the summer solstice. That’s also why our days become shorter, as well. The good news is that they start becoming longer again at the winter solstice which is December 21 this year. Cheers.
