Somewhere the sun is shining.

 It was a dark, gloomy day. Heavy blue-grey clouds covered the sea and hills like a weighted blanket. Across the water, behind the islands, the edge of the blanket lifted to show brilliant snowy peaks on the mainland.

View from our shore. The closest snowy peak is 60 km. away.

Light and shadow.

1:15 PM. Turning to face the sun as it attempts to break through the clouds.

10 minutes later, the sun has dropped low enough to reach us here, under those clouds.

A Skywatch post.

No llovía, pero las nubes, pesadas, de un gris azulado oscuro, bajando hasta tocar las islas en el estrecho, nos cubrían, nos quitaban la luz. Allá atrás de las islas, se abría una brecha dejándonos ver como brillaba el sol en las montañas del continente.
  1. La vista desde nuestra playa. El pico nevado más cercano está, según el mapa, a 60 km. de aquí.
  2. Luz y sombra.
  3. Un águila devora su presa en la oscuridad.
  4. El sol trata de penetrar por medio del borde inferior de la nube. Es la 1:15, y ya empieza a bajar hacia el horizonte. (La puesta del sol es a las 4:44 ahora.)
  5. 10 minutos más tarde, y el sol se ha colado por debajo de la nube.
Un poste de Skywatch. Donde puedes ver vistas del cielo alrededor del mundo.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
