From Scout Scar escarpment, looking north An inspirational day, at last. A pacy drama of sunlight and louring cloud, a bombast of cloud that threatened - and held. back.
Until we reached Kendal Race Course where the clouds unleashed their load. Water streamed down Brigsteer Road and we reached home, soaked again. Who cares? The morning was magnificent and I have a cache of images to contemplate. The high drama of cloudscape.

Mistle thrush call from hawthorn. A flock of long-tailed tits. Raven flying the cliff edge. Rainbows galore. And 12th October 2019 was inspirational. Memorable in the context of a wet summer and autumn. Caught-up in a hoard of images fresh and new it's hard to be disciplined, to select only one or two. And there's a voice at my ear. 'Fewer images, please. It's like wading through guano.' I'd overdone the cliffs at St Bees Head, where seabirds breed in an impasto of guano. Not everyone shares the photographer's endless enthusiasm.
You work your way through an art exhibition and come home inspired by a single image- the rest forgotten.
At Abbot Hall, we were struck by a sculpture- John Behan's Famine Ship. For some reason I bent low and looked up into the display case to see the image mirrored- a ghost ship in the sky. Not the perspective the curator intended, but magical.
In my Gallery you may see a more generous selection of a sky drama.
Here are three that I particularly like. What do you think?
