Ta very much JB! Happy that you liked the balcony view. I appreciate it everyday I am their and love the vivid skies. A benefit of living on the slope of the city high point. Chuch on the right. Left. Tower block at the end of the dark slope. I was waving at you in the photo! 🤣🫶🏼

“I don't seem to require a lot of sleep. I just - if I get four, five good hours, I'm fine. But sleeping is sort of dull. There's a lot of other good stuff that you can do without just lying down and closing your eyes.” - Betty White. #photography
A row trees on a dull and grey English morning. 

It is wet here in Middle England from several hours of rain.

The original colour image was converted to black and white for greater contrast (and to reinforce the dull start to the day here)!

“A well-developed sense of humour is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.” - William Arthur Ward. #photography #clouds
An early evening cloud scene. Various grey and white clouds abound. In the foreground is a north-facing pole and it is carrying what looks like a tightrope; however, in reality it is a telephone wire.

A Marseille balcony view of the sun rising in the east.

Grey and yellow mix with the shadows of the distant massifs. The city is slowly changing as the morning light improves.

“Beauty is the promise of happiness.” - Edmund Burke. #photography
There is a thing of beauty as promised in nature, this Marseille morning.

The sky is a collection a collection of tangerine, yellow and blue light. Mixed together are the grey, pink and white clouds.

“Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.” - Bertolt Brecht. #photography
This is way this morning’s sunrise is and it will not stay this way.

The Marseille mood is changing with the light.

The city and massifs are in the grip of night; whereas the sky is a blend of tangerine, yellow and blue. The sparse clouds appear in tones of grey, pink and white.

“Where I come from, size, shape, or color makes no difference, and nobody has the power.” - Captain J T Kirk. #photography
The Sunday sunrise view over Marseille.

The blue and yellow sky has both pink and grey clouds within it. To me, the grey cloud looks like the Starship Enterprise.
