Puddles of Clouds

Minnis Bay, Birchington-on-Sea, Kent, UK.

Visit collection: Wonderful Britain
Single ominous black rain cloud sweeping across beach huts and sandy bay, sweeping out to sea.
Puddles of clouds splash across the sky So much water floating up high Silently drifting on an unseen breeze Billowing as waves in a waterless sea Some clouds weep as they hurry by grey and sullen they will heartily cry. Others will keep hold of their tears as they transfigure across the sphere. Riding the tailwinds Surfing the blue Magical cloudscapes Shift with each view.

Many a time I have looked up at the sky and cloud gazed, seeing all sorts of fantastical shapes. I was idly wandering across Minnis Bay in Birchington-on-Sea doing just this when a very ominous-looking cloud suddenly swept across the bay. I was not near any shelter at the time and was not prepared for wet weather so I resigned myself to getting soaked, but, the unpredictable nature of our British weather saw the cloud pass overhead with not a drop falling near me, how close was that?
