In between the cold days, we also have some random hot days.
In here you will see the trees at sunset (8 shots), and then sunset clouds above the mountains (2 shots).
This was a hot day, and we really thought that summer had at last replaced winter, but not so as we had another thought coming. So, we have a day at 32C and then two days later the temperature drops to 19C, without a gradual change. So, one day we have to change our bed to summer clothing, and a couple of days later we have to bring the blankets back that we use in winter. Some people in Europe that 19C is hot enough to go swimming, but we are used to the blazing African sun that can, in some areas, reach 41C-45C.
I worked in a town once that was nicknamed Tar Road to Hell, because of the extreme heat, and when the people that lived in the town visited the lower cooler areas that has maybe 24C, then they wear coats. Amazing about how our human bodies can acclimatise to the conditions, but these sudden shifts in temperatures catch all of us by surprise. I would not want to be a weather forecaster due to sudden unexpected changes in temperatures. Just let me tell you that although the temperatures change the beauty doesn't, as it is on show at any of the temperatures.
This tree below grows in a park, and it is called a Stone Pine Tree. It is too city blocks away from our house, and I think that I have a personal relationship with it. It is in the crow's territory, and whenever I stop the car to take photos of the tree the crows will come out flying overhead with loud squawks to try and chase me away. I really thought that by now they would get used to me as I visit quite often, but no, the crows have identified our car, and they come to moan every time when I stop there (3 shots).
Finally, the two sunset clouds that I mentioned above.
The colors slowly started to fade, and it was time to go.
For some reason I know that Thursday and Friday are not days where a person can hope for a good performance of their posts, and Saturdays and Sundays are a wee bit better. But nevertheless, it will not stop me to try to deliver quality posts. One just has to accept it and to continue with posting in order to keep building up one's Hive Power. We are currently undergoing a weak Hive price, but in my nine years here on PeakD I have seen it all before. I am just a bit worried about all the people that are leaving, but happy to see that most of the veterans are still here.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
