O Holy Night
When growing up in England, I was a choirboy. The carols and music seemed to define the season. For me, the songs and images of the night and divinity were powerful. It was only after I left the city and experience dark, star-filled skies that the metaphor took on a reality.
This is the view Naomi and I had when we stopped near Little Hunters Cove in Acadia Nation Park one evening to eat the dinner we had packed. Click on the image for a larger view.

Day’s End
Yesterday was overcast and rainy. After dinner, I noticed the clouds breaking. I walked out to our field to watch the fading light of the day.
These events are fleeting. Clouds from the valley climbed the ridge and would obscure the view a few minutes after this image was taken—you can see those clouds just above the trees. And while we imagine the vivid color of the clouds would show some tenacity, that color can drain from the sky in seconds. Click on the image for a larger view.
August Skies
The skies of August are full of cloud forms. On a fine summer day, they peacefully drift overhead like sheep looking for pasture. But they can form into violent rain and thunder storms without much warning. Click on the image for a larger view.
Summer Skyscapes
I am not sure it is because you are no longer keeping your head down in your winter coat, but summer skies seem to be so more dynamic in Maine. This time of year the weather can be unsettled with storms quickly forming and dissipating, some even before they can drop their harvest of rain. Click on the image for a larger view.

Breaking Storm
Storm breaking over the North Alps in Japan. The Sea of Japan is under cloud cover beyond the mountains. This photograph was taken in the Hakuba region at about 3,000m or 10,000ft. Click on the image for a larger view.
