Well, not really “early” morning for most people, but it’s certainly morning sunlight! The contrail from the plane even looks like it’s glowing. #30dayswild

It’s surprising how many photo-worthy clouds you can spot in just one walk – this one is from the same trip as yesterday’s photo, but taken a little later in the day. That’s the cropped version – when you see the cloud in the original photo, it looks totally different, with the blue sky and wispy clouds…

These two photos were part of one picture originally, but an annoying road sign was sitting right in the middle…. so I cropped it into two photos. The camera struggled with the brightness where the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds, but it does give the clouds a suitably dark appearance. #30dayswild

The weather was pretty grotty all morning, but by the afternoon not only had the rain passed over, there was a hint of blue sky as well! You can just see the darker stormy clouds to the bottom right of the photo, heading off towards the east / south.   #30dayswild

“Come and look at these clouds” – normally we get the best cloud formations to the North or East, but these appeared to the South. A slightly awkward angle to take a photo (hence the washing line in the bottom right corner!), but with the way the sunlight was peeking through the clouds, it was definitely worth taking…

It wasn’t the best day for cloudscapes…. at least until the clouds made some interesting formations around sunset! #30dayswild

There was no chance of a sunset photo with this much cloud cover, but the breaks in the clouds almost looked like polo mints. Despite walking past a major building site, there were a surprising number of small birds flying around – they seemed to be completely unfazed by the noise from the machinery. #30dayswild
