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.

Wind Clear

32 Comments

We have had lots of wind over the last couple of months; much more than normal. That pattern seems to be quietening now that we’re closer to winter, but we’re still experiencing the occasional windy day.

We had another one recently and it cleared away some cloud that had been lingering; you can see the streaky sky in the picture above.

The clear air also gave us a pink toned evening before it became dark and the wind died off.

Happy Sunday.

It’s Unquestionably November

21 Comments

We don’t get a lot of snow here; it’s more likely to be rain, especially in November and December, and today I really feel that November has arrived. We are socked in by rain and the very low late autumn/early winter cloud has settled into the valley.

When I talk of rain, I mean here at the valley floor, but in the surrounding mountains it’s snow; all the ski operators must be keeping their fingers crossed for good conditions!

Despite the conditions we did have a bit of clearing for an hour or so …

… but the clouds quickly returned to enclose us once more.

Happy Thursday.

After the Storm

38 Comments

A very windy, very rainy storm passed through the valley and brought a heavy, dark, moisture-laden overcast. After storming all day, it started to clear toward late afternoon.

Those heavy clouds broke up, the wind dropped off and the sun shone.

Orphan clouds hung about for a bit, but they didn’t last long …

… and there was enough of the day left to give us a pretty sunset.

Here it is from one angle …

… and from another.

Happy Sunday.

Your travel life has the essence of a dream. It is something outside the normal, yet you are in it. It is peopled with characters you have never seen…

Skylights

Here are some varied summer evening-sky scenes to remember as this lovely season begins to disappear into autumn.

A blue hour with moon …

… a silhouetted mountain …

… an overcast sunset …

… and sunset-reflected clouds …

… together with a lovely view of evening Rocky Mountains …

… are images to take with us as summer unwinds.

Happy Sunday.
