1 August (today)
This city is a skywatcher's paradise. Every day, and sometimes every hour the sky changes dramatically. It can go from brooding shades of gray to bright blue with not a trace of fluffy white marshmallow clouds, and absolutely anything in between. The clouds flow past the sky so quickly most days, that you can watch a cloud morph rapidly from one shape to another without a dull moment.
These pictures were taken from the window of our fourth-floor art studio, at about 7.30am each morning.
That last picture was taken about 30 minutes ago. Those thick gray-blue clouds are forewarning the storm which is due to approach tonight. However, right now the sky has cleared to blue sky with broad strokes of rice-paper-thin layer clouds making the panorama a silky baby blue in hue and the sun is shining into the windows, as if the sun is saying "thanks for the publicity"!
Peace and love from the land of the long white and ever dynamic cloud.
