Cloud shades over Limassol<\/a><\/p>\n

I was watching the sky for the last few days. I find it interesting that sky in Cyprus is mostly boring. In summery it is plain blue, and in winter it is plain gray. Spectacular cloud formations are very rare and usually come either with night time or heavy raining which kind of excludes the photography for me.<\/p>\n

I have noticed though that there is some other aspect to watch for – shades. When clouds are few and the sun is shining, clouds drop shadows on to the ground. If shooting from a high spot with nice panorama, there are some opportunities in there.<\/p>\n

Just to remind myself about this later on, I’ve uploaded this photograph.<\/p>\n
