We had a very cold and windy morning today. Summer is only a week away yet the weather resembles winter more than anything else. Instead of clear, blue skies we had some very dramatic cloud covers like this one I photographed at Terrigal with a ship in a distance.
This photograph represents one of the strangest skies I have seen in a long time. With heavy, rain clouds on the horizon and the sun shining through a cloud “hole” at the sunset the clouds and the rain were turned a tone of pink.
This is a scene from Echo Point at Katoomba. The gate visible on the left hand side of the rock wall leads to the Three Sisters track. The mist you see in the photograph is not fog, it is clouds. Yes, whole Echo Point was submerged in a dense cloud in the middle of a day.
Often when a photograph of a sunset or sunrise is posted the only reaction the photographer gets is “Oh, OK. Yet another sun rise”. From time to time weather phenomenons change that simple yet beautiful sunset or sunrise into something totally unique. Take this cloud formation which looks as if it had a clearly defined straight edge and the rain would pour over that edge. I have never seen a cloud formed like that. Not only was the rain coming from that edge but also behind it there was a beautiful sunset highlighting layers upon layers of Blue Mountains in the distance.
