After a week of gloomy days, Andrea shared that there was a fabulous sunset show with several layers of clouds sliding overhead and changing colour by the minute, as seen over Bolton, Ontario, Canada.

On a crisp day with a temperature of -16 degrees Celsius (3 degrees Fahrenheit), sea smoke, a type of fog, developed as a result of the existence of a very cold and still air mass over water that is comparatively warm, as seen here near Nesbyen, Norway.

Fantastic photo, but it just highlights one of the most dismal planning approvals ever given in Cape Town, for the three circular residential towers which look so splendid in the photo! This opinion is based on the fact that I’m in the architectural profession and live near the mountain.
Great composition with the town highlighted in the background, and such luck to have been there at the right time to see these amazing clouds!
Lovely photo, Anton.
