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.
