When clouds are becoming mountains

One evening in Aulnoye-Aymeries near the Super U (a supermarket), it is sunset and the clouds are becoming to mountains, the photos is taken to the North-West where there are no mountains until another continent.... so it cannot be a reflection of mountains on the sky to here (fata morgana), but only some clouds which are looking like mountains; but what do you think? The snow at the top of the mountains of clouds seems to be realy or not?

Evening sky in Aulnoye

This is a sunset over a garage of the Place Matisse in Aulnoye-Aymeries... I found the sky was especially of a tender rosa.

Winter sunset in Aulnoye.

The sky of December is of a light blue. Under our latitude (51° North), the sky is not always of a right blue in December. We have now the shorter days of the year. The days are becoming shorter at the evening until Santa Lucia at the 13th december, and shorter in the morning until the begining of January. It is clear from 9 am until 4 pm. Here it is 16:38 (my camera says 17:38 summer hour!) and the sun is coming down. The photo was taken on the Place Matisse in Aulnoye-Aymeries also.

Sunset at the edge of Bois L'Evêque

I took this photo as the same place like before, only that it was towards the West and in the West the sun was going to sleep under a veil of light clouds. With our car we escape to the West, because the wind was going to blow very strong at this place and I was frightened that there would be a tornado like at the end of the sixties, or at the beginning of the seventies.

My web-friend Mari of Sachsen likes sunsets, so I dedicace this picture to her (Widmung an Mari). It would be good to write here a poem of Rilke or of Theodor Storm.

241. Sunset over the Avesnois.

Almost every day when driving home I got since september, these beautiful sunset skies to see. By good weather sunrises and sunsets are especially beautiful in autumn and winter. I took this photo in Sains-du-Nord.

The virtual travel of Perle de Rosée

From Lisbon I'm sailing with my virtual ship North, along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and there I'm finding Porto and the Daily Photographer Nino Gonçalves.

Then I have to sail in the other direction around Spain to come to Barcelona where I found two Daily Photographers : Rob and Carlos.

Update 2/11/07 : Bob's or Rob's (?) blog is no more there. I wonder how many City Daily Photo are no more doing their blog. I think it is hard to publish every day a picture, so like now there are long periods without photos in my blog, although I continued to photograph.

43. Evening ambiance in Fourmies

This is a crossroad in Fourmies. The photo is taken from the window of the Europe House.

You can see the little red clouds in the evening sky and the lot of cars that are riding here.

In summer, when I make my course and that the window is open, it is an awful noise on the street. You can hear the cars which are making noise during the weddings and the noise (tüü...tüü...) of the ambulances and of the cars for the help to the sick persons (the firemen have a duty of help for the people, not only for fire, but also for accidents or sickness, and their cars come often along this windows).

In the back-ground you see the clouds with the evening colours.

15. A lightneous sign-board.

Here is a special effect that I did'nt want to have, but I find it is not bad. I wanted to photograph the sign-board with the flash, because it was almost night, and the sign-board flashed towards me. This lightneous sign-board in the evening landscape is something very special, do you not find?

I took this photo near the bridge of Quartes at the sluice of Quartes in Pont-sur-Sambre.

7. Church(es) and Shadows...

It is a second shadow play, but this time with the church of Pont-sur-Sambre. Suddenly I became four churches on the message, and I find it well so. I find it looks like in a film. Isn't nice ?
