SkyWatch Friday

Last weeks storms showed some interesting skies. The clouds were actually rolling, the sky turned dark green, almost black. It looked sinister and frightening. Never seen the sky change so fast from blue to black.

In the east the sky was still blue while



in the west it was getting darker and darker.

Watery Wednesday

Last week we had some heavy storms. One came so unexpected and quickly that we only had time to get the most important things in a save place. My husband forgot to take inside his important things though!

And finally after the heat wave the storm arrived. Temperatures dropped from 38C to 19C within minutes. Damage went into millions of Euros and yesterday's storm even took a life. The climate is definitely changing.

From the colours in the sky I can usually see that we have a beautiful sunset. But where we live it is impossible to see the sun actually set. It is a densely populated area and there is always a house or a tree in the way or the sun is hiding behind the hills. I took this picture last week end. Hardly a noticeable sunset but I thought the sky looked interesting.

While it was rainy and cold in most of the Netherlands our corner had the best weather you can imagine. Nice temperature, a light breeze and beautiful clear skies.




Do you see the angel flying towards me?

My World Tuesday

While driving around to find a photogenic spot to try my new camera I passed the Hoensbroek castle again. Artists were building sand sculptures for a medieval festival on the grounds next to the castle. Visitors are not allowed to enter the site until the artists have finished the sculptures. I managed to take some pictures standing on the road nearby. Though they were at a distance of about 150 metres I zoomed in with my camera and was surprised at what I saw when I uploaded the photos. Very clear pictures. Amazing what you can do with sand and amazing what my simple camera did (again a Kodak Easy Share). A pity though that this was the only angle where I could see a little of the sculptures.
