This actually appeared two nights ago; bumped because of wanting to record the first frost of the year. If ever a cloud looked like a creature with a purpose, this would be it.
We’ve had some dramatic skies lately.



Looking east,

looking west.

Tranquilo.
Atlántida, Uruguay
I try to limit posts to a photo or two, but there are times, like yesterday, where one or two photos don’t do justice.

There appears to be a congress above the neighbors’ house.

Not to difficult to see faces interacting.

A dragon?

A dinosaur?





All leading up to …

… a spectacular finale!


No, you didn’t ask, come to think of it. I snapped this a couple days ago, wondering “how on earth can I fit this into a blog post?”

One thing I love about Uruguay is the sky. Only extremely rarely marred by aerosol geoengineering/poisoning, and then only one telltale streak. And frequently dramatic.
This is from a couple nights ago, when a light sprinkle of rain arrived at dusk to temper the day’s heat.

From the beach in Parque del Plata, where I took my new friend Mihai from Romania to see wind- and kite-surfers. The bright spot in the rainbow to the right of the sun looked, to the eye, as bright as the sun — like a sky with two suns. The rainbows were more prominent as well. Unlike any sky I’ve ever seen!

Interesting change of perspective: instead of radiating from the sun, shadows converge away from it.

Not that it’s a sea, of course. It’s considered the river, the Rio de La Plata. Whose opposite bank is Antarctica.
