Contrasts of Light, Florence, Italy

An evening of storm

The thunder rolls away

Sun breaking through clouds

Spreading light over the Arno.

Next morning is calm and clear

Morning sunlight pours over

Golden tinted buildings.

Winter Walk

A post Christmas walk

across fields

soaked with incessant rain.

A glimmer of sunlight

Creates a rainbow.

Symbol of hope

for the New Year.

Magnificent Light

Strong cold winds pushing

Rolling masses of storm clouds

Over the beach at Crosby

In the golden light

Of a winter sunset.

Flying

Storm clouds over the Irish Sea

Sweeping in

Blotting out the sun.

Less than an hour later,

Somewhere over Germany,

That same sun sets

The sky aglow

Purple, vermillion and indigo.

Incoming Storm

Saturday afternoon at Crosby beach

The weather changing

Dark clouds laden with rain

Sweep across from the Welsh Hills.

September Storms

September arrives with strong winds and rain.

The wet beach reflects the colour of storm clouds 

glowing in the last warm light from the setting sun.
