Yesterday the light northerly wind brought moisture and warmth and we had a sunny day with mists that flowed over the hills then dissipated, only to return and completely obscure the view, then finally to dissolve away later in the day to reveal blue skies and sunshine...
Today the wind was less kind - northerly gales rocking the house and making it unpleasant to be outside. But as if to compensate, there were the everchanging cloud patterns in the sky. Looking across Island Bay towards Baring Head past Taputeranga...
The water is stirred up, dotted with white caps, and the clouds make a dynamic display.
And looking across to the south coast hills in the other direction...
The sun is low in the sky and lights up a rapidly changing churning spectacle of cloud forms which I cannot yet identify. Time to study my cloud-spotters guide!
