Portland being coastal gets some very nice "moody looks" as in atmospheric moods, with the clouds casting some fantastic shadows and patches of light which roll along with the wind.Looking forward to catching some thunder and lightning, if possible get some good pictures.
Yesterday was our first really wet day for a while, today it's lovely.
Good old British weather, turns on a sixpence, as they say.
It's amazing and humbling to think that all you need to do to see nature at it's best is to look!
We so easily forget that the sky is never the same twice...unless really hot and no clouds at all, even then, the sunrise and sunsets are all unique.
Alot to be said for the simple act of appreciation.
love the thunder and lightenin over there, cant wait best thing about winter
ReplyDeleteI agree, watching lightning from Newground is just mind blowing at times.
ReplyDeleteGetting it on camera is another thing altogether!
can't say I particularly enjoy thunder and lightning, but love to look up at the varying shapes of clouds, never two the same. When it is a stormy day, the clouds seem to boil up just like water boiling up in a pan. My favourite view of the sky is a very clear starlit night sky - it never ceases to amaze me and if you're lucky you may get to see a shooting star or some satellite in orbit. We are lucky to have such wonderful sights on this world of ours.
ReplyDeleteIndeed we are lucky, wherever we live really.
ReplyDeleteWe are luckier to live in such a unique place. :o)
portlands rubbish!
ReplyDeleteReally? live here then?
ReplyDeleteIf so...you don't appreciate the place for what it is.
Why not post under your name then? :o)

I've been here now for 35 years and I have never come across friendlier people than those on Portland. I would never move back to the north of England, or anywhere else for that matter, the choice is mine to live where I want and Portland it is, for all it's hiccups - no worse than anywhere else, Weymouth in particular!
ReplyDeleteBlimey, so I known Jamie and Iain since you all got here really? :o)
ReplyDeleteThat's something a few youngsters here ought to do, move somewhere else for a while then you see what you miss most of this place.
And what not... rumours being one!
that's right Rob - we're part of the fixtures and fittings now I think. I know when I received a christmas card off old Bob Woollage back in the early nineties I was thrilled to think we had been accepted here - we have always felt that way. Iain and Jamie were 15 months old when we got here in 1973 and started at Southwell Playgroup in 1975, I think it was and then St. George's Infants in 1977, so yes you would all start school at the same time - and nice to know lasting friendships were formed, for all of us, even us two oldies xx
