Some misty mountain blues.

Many don't like the sea mist, but I find the beauty in it.

A bleak sky surrounded us due to the mist from the Atlantic Ocean.

Now for many that don't know yet, we live very close to both the sea and the mountains. So, it all depends on the direction of the strong winds, whether it comes from the seaside, or the mountain side. Another problem is that the wind can change direction in an instant, both in direction and strength, and that is always a dilemma for the boats and the ships to negotiate. Recently passengers on one of those touring ships that was destined to leave from the harbor, had to wait on the ship for 24 hours before the strong winds allowed the ship to depart.

A harrier hawk (gymnogene) below, floated over searching the landscapes for prey.

Finally, all things come to an end, and the wind changed direction to clear the skies.

We are enjoying the current autumn weather, with its mists and masses of cloud moving through our basin. One can feel winter in the air, especially when the sun hides behind the clouds, or should I rather say, the clouds fly across the face of the sun. Then, the air gets cooler, and the winds pick up and whip around, undressing the trees, by stripping their leaves. All, in preparation for winter, and we are of those that love the cold seasons.

But as humans, we can never be satisfied, can we? The more we get, the more we want. And if we don't get what we want, we bleat like sheep. If we do get what we want, then we want more, this is a fact of life. In my mind, the seasons were made to test us, as how often during winter, do we hear people complaining about the cold. And then, in summer, they complain about the heat. So, I simply don't have an answer to this, as at times I am also the guilty one. Thankfully, beauty stills my mind, and the salty taste of the air during the ocean mists cleanses my body.
Such is life.

I hope you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.
