Yesterday morning's soft spring sunrise - so pretty. But close behind, a southerly storm...
Pastel colours over the hills behind Owhiro Bay on Wellington's south coast. Down on the coast, the silhouetted South Island could be seen framed by the darker clouds and tints of the storm front, which brought gales and heavy rain a few hours later. Pink morning skies often seem to fit the "red sky in the morning shepherds' warning" weather prediction. Spring, changeable weather, dynamic skies - there is a lot of energy around!
