As it's the eve of the #SummerSolstice here, and everywhere else in this #hemisphere, the #Sun will set at virtually its most #northerly bearing on the #western #horizon. I waited for the #Sun actually to disappear and leave its glowing halo.
#spring
It's the hottest day of the year so far with shade #temperatures nearing 30°C. In direct #sunlight it's a lot hotter of course. While #cycling recently, I've can feel #insects bouncing off my face quite regularly. I'm sure they just then go on their merry way. Another advantage of wearing some #sunglasses or other eye protection means that they don't strike one's eyes. (Admittedly, last summer I did encounter a freak situation where a #bee got stuck in between the sunglass lens and my eye but no real harm was done to either animal.)
From the vantage point of my house, I can see a couple of #TelecommunicationTowers on the #horizon, meaning they are many kilometres away. Here, I've made use of my #TelephotoLens to get quite a good detailed #photograph of the taller #tower in the #evening #twilight.
More #DramaInTheClouds. The #picture changes minute by minute and I think these #photographs show the interaction of #AirPressure, #Moisture and #Light.
First, a #panorama, looking #west.
Next, zooming in to see layered #clouds in #greys and #PaleGolds. You can see the cellular structure of the clouds.
Finally, here's the interplay between #foreground #silhouetted #roofs and #background clouds on the #horizon.

I was glancing out of the window a few minutes ago and saw a rather unusual set of #colours during the #sunset. The #sky was looking decidedly #brown rather than the more usual yellow or golden. I read in the news somewhere that we're currently experiencing airborne #sand and #dust from #Saharan #Africa and I'm wondering if that's what this is.
