Portents


After days of Indian summer, a change in the weather announced itself this week in an eerily masked sun over the Cowgate, above, and the Royal Mile, below. The grand building with cupolas and flags is the Bank of Scotland headquarters. Edinburgh Castle peeks out behind the corporate magnificence.

One day of rain followed by a bit of a gale and now we're back to warm days. Bliss.

More skies around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

  1. It's been such a wonderful spell - and I think we deserve it too! I did want to take a picture of a wonderful cumulo-nimbus outside the front door, but james was too nervous of the thunder. xx

  7. You seem to have such beautiful vistas all the time! The clouds were gorgeous. We went from 30C and humid to 18C and really windy so not too nice here right now.

  8. Great mix of shots, the cloudscape at the end is my favorite! I think we're done with our warm weather until next Spring in Montreal, although we can sometimes get an Indian Summer in October.
