Our days at Montepozzo were very busy, we wanted to see as much as we could in the limited time we had. It was always a pleasure to return to base in time to sit at the table in the loggia, enjoy aperitivo and reflect on the events of the day.
The late spring skies were usually clear but on this particular day we were rewarded with a spectacular sunset.
I have to admit to being a little distracted on my drives to work of late. We have had some atrocious weather – rain, high winds, storms – the upside being the spectacular early morning cloud formations.
My journey has been interrupted with frequent pauses to capture the ever changing skyscape.
Sometimes, the sky resembles the ocean.
The drive home brings a different set of surprises.
We have experienced some spectacular sunsets from out hilltop home and this one recently was a doozy. I noticed a red glow outside and, glancing out of the lounge window, this is what I saw.
I grabbed my camera and raced outside to watch as nature set fire to the western sky.
Whichever direction I looked, different patterns and colours were emerging,
as though looking through a huge kaleidoscope.
The sun sank below the horizon,
the show over for another day.
Our diverse weather patterns here in northwest Tassie bring some amazing cloud formations. Storm clouds on the horizon hold the promise of rain (much needed at the moment).
Early sunset still reflects the blue of the day.
Other sunsets are more dramatic
and a striking sunrise heralds a new day.
