Once we had had our fill of party games were headed to the beach. For about five minutes we had a fine view of the headland the flanks the bay of Waratah Bay - but then it started to disappear under one of the better weather fronts I have ever seen.
If you looked one way the sky was an almost cloudless blue; if you looked the other way it was completely shrouded in dark clouds. Eden one way, Ragnarok the other!
This front rolled over the bay and then dumped some rather heavy rain on us as we fled back to the house.
The contrast in these skies from left to right is really rather remarkable.
You can find more pictures of skies from around the world at SkyWatch Friday.

Enjoy the skies.

Wow - these shots are stunning!
really gorgeous! love watching those heavy storm lines move in!
Fantastic storm front! I like when the clouds form a heavy, defined front like that.
Stewart the skies look so threatening, you've captured them magnificently... even if you got dumped on it was worth it for the photos, don't you think? ;-)
Have a wonderful weekend.
Wow! That is dark and somewhat sinister looking! Fantastic photos!
Terrific shots Stewart. I thought we'd had some grey stuff lately but those beat ours hands down.

Stunning captures, Stewart! Hope that storm won't be too devastating!
That's fun -- like two skies for the price of one. Until it rained, then maybe not so fun!

Yes it is amazing how the sky changes as you change your camera from left to right. I thought I was the only one who experienced this phenomenon!
