On this island we call home, we are beneath an area where five main air masses meet. This causes our weather to be particularly changeable. Never quite the same, the sky shifts from one moment to the next creating the perfect art gallery. Whether pure blue or filled with puffy clouds, darkening with a brooding storm or painted in warm hues, they all bring a certain level of awe.
It is incredible how something so vast can be so fluid. The clouds gather and thicken then move and disperse allowing the sun to illuminate through sections where water vapour has thinned. Colours transition from flat white to vibrant blue, dipping into cold grey and returning to blue again. Before we realise, an orange glow starts to appear, shifting to pink, through purple and resting as black until the sun starts to rise and the contortions begin again. In a matter of minutes it transforms from one spectacle into the next.
True beauty is never very far away, you just have to look at what’s around you. All the images are taken from my back garden and all the same piece of sky.
Nature really is magnificent.
