The storm that passed a couple of days ago was quickly followed by another. I was awakened in the night to what sounded like a freight train outside my window, but turned out to be pounding rain and shrieking wind.
Earlier in the evening, I took a shot of an underlit tree with the rain pouring around it. With the addition of some soap an outside shower would have been completely possible!
On the beach, Poseidon and Triton were whipping up some oceanic discontent. We didn’t stay long and were happy to go inside before the worst came barrelling through!
A storm has passed through over the last 24 hours. It’s not a tropical storm per se, but the wind has been strong and it certainly has dumped a lot of rain.
The clouds suddenly rolled in and the wind picked up …
The skies here change quickly: brilliant sun, quick sunsets and sudden showers that arrive and leave in a few minutes. As a result, the sky has constant and beautiful cloud formations.
Dissipating cumulonimbus clouds. These were tending toward a towering, pillar-like appearance – a sign of convective activity – but they changed their minds. Clearing …… and underlit by the setting sun.
I saw some interesting cloud formations that were lit by an almost full moon.
The moon itself was rather impressive, but I thought the clouds were more compelling. I was hoping for a better picture (this was taken with my phone – I do need to be better about remembering my camera!), but I think it conveys an idea of what I saw.
