Cloud Cover

I liked the way the clouds appeared to follow the line of the Spring blossoms.

In mid-February we went back to the Doughnut Groyne, between the Palace and West Piers to see the murmuration of the starlings again. This time they were rather further away from our vantage point but we still managed to capture something.

Wintery, Watery West Pier

Walking home on a wintery afternoon we came to West Pier in a dusky light and stopped to see the starlings gather for their daily murmuration.

Lovely Sky

Nothing special… just a lovely dusky sky.

In the beginning…

…God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Hard not to think of words like these (at least in the West) upon seeing such a sight. Probably the wind turbines don’t support the imagism, but don’t tell Donald.

A circular rainbow around the sun is known as a solar halo, which occurs when sunlight interacts with ice crystals in the atmosphere, typically found in thin, high-altitude clouds. This phenomenon creates a ring of light, often appearing at a 22-degree angle from the sun, and can sometimes display colors similar to a rainbow.
