Ninety-five percent of the time, the skies here in Egypt are cloudless and blue. (That is besides the pollution.) But, a couple of nights ago I shot these pictures from my balcony. The clouds were rolling in and the lightening was beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no thunder. It is very rare to see rain clouds and lightening and hear thunder here. One can actually go a year or more without them. Ever since that night, it has been cloudy off and on, the air is getting cooler, and it has even rained pretty hard a time or two. It is nice to finally have a break from the constant heat. The top picture is what the sky usually looks like, then the bottom two are the rain clouds moving in.
That's pretty neat. Looks like a big ole harvest moon.
ReplyDeleteOh Jackie, it's so good to see you again. What wonderful shots of the changing sky over Cairo. I miss North Africa and cannot wait to return to Khartoum. (I'm praying our permits are ready this week) Till next time. (((Hugs))) Jo
ReplyDeleteJo, good to "see" you again too. How long will you stay in Khartoum? I've always thought it would be neat to visit there?
ReplyDelete@eloh, yes, in the States I would hate to see clouds like that coming in, but it is so rare here I actually enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful sky, clouds and all. Looks like a very modern city. Hope things are going well for you.

QMM, The area we live in is a new area. Most of the city is not so modern. ;o)
