cloud day #283 12th February 2015
The edge of the roof intruded on this shot. Some sub tropical afternoon rain...no, not even rain, a sprinkle...
cloud day #282 11th February 2015
I like those white fluffy clouds; they are the kind you can make animals and other shapes out of when you lie down on the grass and gaze upwards...

cloud day #278 7th February 2015
Lots of cloud cover today, 'overcast' is the description - I'm not sure how this term came into being in this context and couldn't seem to find anything on the net to shed any light either

cloud day #275 4th February 2015
Rain, rain and more rain today...good for the parched land. The shape of the darker cloud is reminiscent of a less-threatening tornado...
cloud day #274 3rd February 2015
Wonderful sunset. We don't many of these, being on the eastern side of a ridge, but when it does happen it's magic. Note the moon, on the ascend, looking tiny through the lens.

cloud day #272 1st February 2015
The first day of February has brought showery weather, courtesy of the stratocumulus cloud formation. The land needed those last two days of rain, although the humidity is unwelcome - everything is damp...

cloud day #270 30th January 2015
It's been (sorta kinda) threatening to rain today, but it has come to nothing except the dry hot wind again...lots of cloud activity though which is nice

cloud day #268 28th January 2015
Taken early-ish in the morning whilst the sun is still on the ascend. Hot, humid, windy, sticky already...

cloud day #267 27th January 2015
Lovely swirls of colour, like whipped mousse (sort of). A wonderful depth of blue underneath the white.

cloud day# 265 25th January 2015
There are exactly one hundred days left to go in my cloud project, where I pledged to post an image of the sky every day for a year...and to mark the occasion - a cloudless sky!
cloud day #264 24th January 2015
The optical illusion of the cloud sitting above the hills renders everything that little bit more dramatic...

cloud day #261 21st January 2015
From this photo, you might think it a dull, grey, misty, coldish day...but it isn't any of those things...the sky is monotone - the kind of sky that often spells rain, but it is bright (ish) and definitely warm as befits summer.

cloud day #259 19th January 2015
Softest shades, look closely for the light glimmering off a cloud, like an Old Master's painting...and brushstrokes flickering outwards...

cloud day #256 16th January 2015
Dramatic evening sky - could almost be taken to have a fire in the background with billowing smoke all around...

cloud day #255 15th January 2015
Not a cloud in the sky, and Auckland is experiencing a succession of hot, summery days - almost unheard of for January!

cloud day #251 11th January 2015
Almost a replica of yesterday's image, this one features slightly more clouds going about their business...

cloud day #249 9th January 2015
There has been the odd sprinkle of water today, and this sky is reflective of that. Humid though, and might be good for clouds and garden if more water was on its way!

cloud day #247 7th January 2015
Lots of cloud activity at the time this image was shot. Great three dimensionality to it and a lot going on!

cloud day #246 6th January 2015
The faintest line of cloud, hovering in the background. A cloudless day today, perfect (well, for non cloud spotters that is)!

cloud day #244 4th January 2015
Almost cloudless today, save for the odd one scuttling past. No wind either, at least none where I am. A lovely, bright, hot, summer's day...

cloud day #242 2nd January 2015
Hot, hot, hot, today. Smatterings of cloud that come and go - one moment the sky is blue from ear to ear, the next - like this. It is Auckland, after all...
cloud day #241 1st January 2015
The first day of 2015, and it's a cracker - as they say. Warm, hot even, a bit of a wind but nowhere as strong as we have been living with the past few weeks...summer is here at last (touch wood)!
cloud day #240 31st December 2014
The last day of 2014 has its fair share of cloud, and a forecast of rain, but there is some sun - yay!
