A lovely end of the day...

...as the day was misty if you look at the moon shot.

My daughter just called from the UK to tell me that they are now in a heatwave, and she bleated about the temperatures being the same as here in Africa. We are supposed to be in mid-winter here, and we were warned that we would have a warm winter season, so they were correct as our temp for the past few days hovered around the 21C mark.

The Atlantic is warming up and that's why the wind brings the mist inland as they scoop it up from the surface of the ocean. Some days it can get very dense here with fog and mist on a day, but as usual we are just getting used to it. At some days, like this day, things clear up later in the day and the colors are bright and cheery.

Did I tell you that the day was misty? I took the shot below at 17:OO HRS.

Thankfully later on things gradually started to clear.

So, now you will see some preparations for a weak sunset.

Even the moon looked much better later on.

Another four shots below to show you how the sunset clouds developed.

Finally, this was the last shot, and I loved the colors.

I think that fog is denser than mist for the reason that I have experienced a few days where it was very foggy, and later on in the evening the clouds completely covered the skies. With the mist it is another story as they frequently clear up later in the day. I have also learned how to discern the sunsets and if it is like this then I will not drive out to the high spot to get the sunset as I rather take the sunset shots from our home.

It is very much like our lives, isn't it? As we can get dense foggy troubles that warrant action, or we can get misty problems that will flee from the sunlight. The one you have to work hard on, and the latter requires patience to wait for it to pass. Nature is our teacher, and if we follow its rules then life can certainly be easier. No need to rush around, and no need to make decisions that will be blown away by the wind. All that it requires is patience.
Such is life.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
