cloud day #239 30th December 2014

Thicker cloud today and there have been some showers. Wind also. Aah summer in Auckland!

cloud day #238 29th December 2014

A quintessential summery sky with white and blue, almost Greek colours. Pity about the raging easterly!

cloud day #237 28th December 2014

Softly softly catchee evening light....

cloud day #236 27th December 2014

A sky of lavender blue and grey, at times merging, other times a contrast with light blue. Soft evening light.

cloud day #235 26th December 2014

Floating islands, and some grey...accompanied by strong easterlies for the past few days. When oh when will they cease?

cloud day #234 25th December 2014

An evening shot for Christmas Day night...a spectacular sunset, tonight.

cloud day #233 24th December 2014

Lots of white,  the merest glimpse of blue...

cloud day #232 23rd December 2014

This image belies the hot day we had today, and the oftentimes blue sky...

cloud day #231 22nd December 2014

A swirly twirly sky (well, sort of), after a lovely day (yay)...

cloud day #230 21st December 2014

Cloudy again, although warm, and at times sunny today, albeit with the typical Auckland 'four seasons in one day' ubiquitous drizzle, as accompaniment.

cloud day #229 20th December 2014

Oh dear, look at this greyness, obliterating the light, like a suffocating blanket!

cloud day #228 19th December 2014

The one thing that makes a Friday better, is a sunny Friday...we are overdue one of these that's for sure. The heat is a surprise coming on the back of grey, drizzly, windy days that were for most part cold.

cloud day #227 18th December 2014

Ahhh, at last some blue! Not really enough, or sustained, for a feeling of summer, but blue nonetheless, not to be scoffed at that's for sure, after what we have endured the last couple of weeks!

cloud day #226 17th December 2014

More of the same, but worse what with the constant gale winds knocking baby fruit off the trees and thunder and lightning and rain...the sun was out a couple of hours ago as a tease, and then promptly retreated under the next onslaught of grey...

cloud day #225 16th December 2014

Sigh. The sky is getting same-y now, and everybody is getting cranky because of the infernal unrelenting wind (make that gales). Summer this is not.

cloud day #224 15th December 2015

More of the same, of that which has characterised the past week...

cloud day #223 14th December 2014

Any earlier today, and this would not have been the picture. Cold, blustery strong easterly winds and rain have characterised most of the day until this! If you look closely there is a faint reflection of the rainbow to the left. Magic.

cloud day #222 13th December 2014

Again, lots of cloud although more definition in today's sky. Drizzly and cold.

cloud day #221 12th December 2014

This must be day four, or five, that we have had these glowering skies with not a peep of sun. It's up there somewhere cos it's darned humid, but there are no rays to bask in, just endless grey/white...

cloud day # 220 11th December 2014

Yet another dismal, drizzly, dull grey day - and shockingly humid.

cloud day #219 10th December 2014

Yes, that's right, it's summer...an Auckland-style summer, where wall-to-wall sun doesn't happen until we are all back at work...!

cloud day #218 9th December 2014

Dull, dismal, misty, humid, drizzly.

cloud day #217 8th December 2014

A diagonal 'whoosh', as if blown, under force, from a powerful source of propulsion...and background layers for interest ;)

cloud day #216 7th December 2014

There's a lovely warp and weft weave in the sky, like a mini loosely woven square...

cloud day #215 6th December 2014

Blue, and white, does anything else count?

cloud day #214 5th December 2014

Variations on a theme, this past week!

cloud day #213 4th December 2014

Look at the painterly effects in this shot - the bruising colour in the upper cloud, smudged, with the contrast of the white clouds underneath. Wonderful stuff.

cloud day #212 3rd December 2014

Not a bad day today, nice clouds, some warmth, a promise of calmer weather ahead...

cloud day #2112nd December 2014

No clouds today aka cloudless :)
