It’s not Saskatchewan big sky country but the sky here is fascinating. The mountain range is immediately to the south of us - in fact we’re on the northern slope of the mountains. So weather changes blowing in from the south can suddenly shroud the peak with mist. The photo on the left was taken this afternoon, about three and immediately after several hours of full sun. Taken looking southwest
The sun did return though in time for more drama at sunset.
Second photo taken about three hours later looking pretty well due west. Despite the red sky there are possible rainstorms predicted for tomorrow afternoon. Although apparently the wisdom is that it’s always fine weather for Bayram and Beverley says that was indeed the case during the twenty years she lived in Istanbul.
We can’t see the skies very far to the east but north is a different matter. A kilometre below us is the Mediterranean and then nothing but sea and sky all the way to Türkiye. It’s about a hundred kilometres and on a clear day you can see Türkiye from our north facing window.
Tomorrow is both Bayram, sometimes referred to as Şeker (sugar) Bayram and also the day the clocks go forward for summer time everywhere except North America, where the date for the time change is slightly different.
