The Clouds This Afternoon
I do this Love The clouds thing from time to time. It usually occurs when I see a pretty cool cloud in the sky and think to myself, hey that could be a good entry for that Love The Clouds contest. So here I am sharing a few pictures I saw today in the afternoon of a cool cloud formation. The photos didn't come out as well as I wanted however, so I took another few when I got in from work, which are shared further on.
If there's one thing we've no shortage off here in Ireland it's clouds. Big ones. Small ones. Long ones. Short ones. White ones. Grey ones. Almost black ones. Rainy ones. Not so rainy ones. You get the idea, lots and lots of clouds because we get lots and lots of rain.
The Clouds Just Now
As per usual there is a fine scatter of clouds in the evening sky here in Ireland and at this time of year, we'll have light until well past 9 o'clock p.m. which is very different than other places in the world where I've lived. Take Australia for example where it rarely stays bright anytime after about 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.
Here on the west coast of Ireland, on the longest day of the year on a clear day we could get fairly good light right up until close to 11 pm at night which is pretty cool and which was a massive part of growing up for kids here in this part of the country. We would get to stay up playing hide and seek or tip the can arounders or the likes onto the light faded and your mummy sort of calling your name from the front door: "Time for bed @ablaze"
The Clouds From My Window
I'll leave you with these last few clouds that were visible from a kitchen window just as I was tiding up and in the last few bits here this evening.
Thanks go to @tobetada for coming up with this idea and for putting on this contest. It's always a bit of fun.
