The best thing about today has been the variety and quality of light throughout the day and into the evening......
Early morning saw showers and stroboscopic lighting effects in the wake of a cold front which passed over northeast Scotland overnight. Clouds racing overhead alternately lit the view with dazzling, intense colours, then switched off the light to leave a muted version of the same scene.
After a mainly bright and breezy day the wind dropped towards evening and a slow-burn sunset underlit a cloudbank with gold and bronze.
Tonight's full moon was high in the sky before sunset, adding pale light to the most delicate of pink shades in the air.
While back to the west the cloudbank dissipated in the cooling air as if it had never existed, leaving just a hint of the sunset projected into the sky.
As I type this post a full hour after sunset, the same piece of sky is a colour somewhere between jade green and lemon; gorgeous but beyond the camera to capture. The light (in Gaelic "solas") has absolutely been one good thing about today.
