Winter light, Flinders Ranges, 05/06/2023 (#10 in series: gorgeously grey)

 

Blue skies are not the only good skies!

Arguably, this post’s clouded sky is every bit as beautiful as any blue one.

Inarguably, endlessly-unclouded skies would prove lethal to all life on “our” planet…as would “grey skies, nothing but grey skies”.

For humans who enjoy walking in Wilpena Pound – or in any other glorious outback Australian place – the pictured kind of weather is “ideal”, not “poor”.

On this series’ single winter’s day our bodies relished comfortable conditions – no suffocating heat, no risk of sunburn, and no need to carry several litres of water.

Meanwhile, our eyes feasted upon a constantly-shifting “dance” of sunshine and shadows.

We did not need sunglasses.

The absence of heat-haze, glare and sunglass-tint granted naked human eyes (and cameras)  an uncommonly sharp and nuanced “take” on the Flinders Ranges’ topography and variegated vegetation.
