📷 Dark Storms Make Golden Sunsets
Life, silver linings and rainbows, storms emotional roller coaster!
Storms make us linger, hoping to experience something spectacular after big electric storms pass over, summers in South Africa weather can turn around quickly from thirty degrees Celsius to twenty degrees in half an hour.
You hear the rumble of thunder out to sea, then notice the lightning strikes coming closer up the valley. Tumbling clouds start to fill the valleys, with wicked thunderous cracks of lighting striking the ground. Reminds me of this past year; with the grim reaper throwing chaos into our family, a government taking a country down the road of recession, some days it feels like everything is starting to fall apart at the seams....
Saturday we witnessed a grand design sunset after the first storm had passed over, a lull, still some rain approaching with small birds flying in the opposite direction as if to avoid the next round of mayhem, these photo's were captured over a maximum of thirty minutes before next deluge of heavy rain. On some occasions we may be able to dodge the bullet, not always, forcing us into the position of having to smile or frown then carry on, Yup "Put your big girl panties on," as my sister often refers to in life!
Mother nature teaches us life is not always easy, turning a sky from clear blue, to a trecherous deep grey, bringing along with it high winds being destructive to everything in it's path, similar events occur with people one minute life is peaceful, the next we are thrown in turmoil, it is how we right ourselves and how quickly we adapt.
Life is full of surprises, not always pleasant so here is to wishing you a wonderful new week, enjoy the last month of this year. Look for silver linings to reap the benefits of the storms, days after storms bring lush new life into nature, first we have to endure the storm, be the optimist finding your rainbow, life is one long roller coaster ride of emotions, slowly designing our unique tapestry of life.
Around the corner sky was still dull grey, promising a surprise with one or two gaps between the clouds being shunted around by the wind.
Sunset starting to dazzle the sky in gold not quite the silver lining metaphor used
Turmoil still happening above the sun setting, wind moving clouds around at high speed preparing for the next round....
Turning to get back inside just prior to the next load of rain fell, there was the rainbow on the otherside of the garden, ringing in the end of the day.

i certainly agree that life can be full of surprise and unexpectations. some days are bright and sunny, some are stormy and with thunder and lightning. sometimes even a dull sky still allows some things to stand out, like the trees in the pictures
Life comes packaged full of surprises, the trees stand tall after a rinse off from all the dust and dirt in the atmosphere @asianetwork thanks for visiting.
At the end the rainbow showing the beautiful colors: sign of peace and serenity, the victory in every circumstances in life!
People always view rainbows with happy thoughts, never heard a negative one ever.

Have a good week @jsf thanks for visiting.
One thing we miss here is the thunder and the clap of lightning bolts Lady Joan. Nothing here, only silence since we arrived amidst much rain. Some beautiful pictures and eloquent words here! Blessings!
Lightning is sure to arrive one day, I don't know of any places where they are spared from the light show in the skies. We have been experiencing some big electric storms of late again, have a wonderful week Stephen.

Love the wording and my Granddad used to say "Life is rich tapestry". I wish I could appreciate being with him more but he was summoned to the next level 16 years ago now.
Some of those colours in the sky are amazing after the storm :)
That time of year again over here, huge electrical storms sweep through, if we lucky and it happens toward late afternoon we get some ultra dynamic skies. "Life is a tapestry" I agree some words echo in our ears even after many years pass, we never forget them, they have been stitched into that self same tapestry.
Wow they are quite spectacular then, ever changing skyline.
Yes words are very powerful indeed and can have a profound effect.
