Menacing Sky

    Newer Older

    A beautful hot sunny day, the evening brought these clouds over the hills at Rhossili. Compare the big one on the left with the light fluffy kind we'd been having in the afternoon!
    "What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster, is it a monster?!"

      Well spotted.
      It does look pretty ominous alright!
      Great mix of natural colours in this one.

      what a glorious view...love the little row of sunlit houses.
      and the brooding cloud with it's solitary nipple about to lactate on an unsuspecting landscape.
      fab shot.

      Thanks John!
      Thanks again Janetfo!
      Ta for that Solar.Scot!
      Cheers Pot Noodle!!
      Chris, thanks for the comment on the houses. I fail to see the other element you mention though, perhaps it is a fault of my gender to miss out on such things the male of the species think so much about! :-)

      That's beautiful as well as menacing - a lovely picture. If I might quote from the prophet Joni Mitchell:

      Rows and floes of angel hair
      And ice cream castles in the air
      And feather canyons evrywhere
      Ive looked at clouds that way

      But now they only block the sun
      They rain and snow on evryone
      So many things I would have done
      But clouds got in my way
      Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
      From up and down, and still somehow
      Its cloud illusions I recall
      I really dont know clouds at all

      It looks like another summer of hosepipe-obligation!

      Haha well said Joni! Thanks Fergal, lovely words from her!

      Brilliant shot Athena, that's a nasty storm on de way.

    17. Athena's Pix 43 months ago | reply

      Thanks Ken. It was somewhat enhanced but the sky was quite malevolent. Perhaps the storm happened by the time the clouds reached Lundy Island near Cornwall, because we didn't catch anything dramatic while there or the tail-end of it when we got home either...
