Sky Watch Weather

England is known for it's rainfall, and the North-West more so. Well this is what it is like.. The day was bright and sunny, the sun was warm on my back. The dark clouds formed and the heavens opened. The wet roof top reflects the light so well at times like these and can make being caught in an April shower well worth getting wet for.


Thank you all who visit.

nice catch! In the sky, there is no distinction of East and West, so the people create distinctions out of their own minds.... mine's up too hope you can drop by.

Sunrays pouring through clouds - a favorite sight of mine. Always worth the time to linger. Living in the Northwest this is a common sight for me, and I never tire of it. Rain streaking from clouds - gorgeous.

Lovely photos!
