These pictures were taken a while ago, but I never posted them. Given that the images contain beauty, light and darkness they seem appropriate for this week.
This has been a difficult week – my wife’s mum died yesterday after a short illness.

why no good, no good at all”

I suppose I should have tried to stop the big drops of rain falling on the lens, but I don’t think I noticed them at the time!
Enjoy the skies from around the world.
Cancer is no good in April o, as for me, in February or any other month of the year. Deepest sympathy to your wife and all the family.
