Clouds again!

I’ve said we rarely get clouds here, which is true – the sky is normally bright blue without a cloud in sight and the sun is brilliant -- and yet recently I’ve been seeing more of them. Today, unfortunately, we’re still covered by that sandy, ugly, fog-looking sky that allows no sun or visibility.

This was taken near Tuwaiq Palace, a large events complex on the DQ, where part of the wadi runs through.

It looks like that marvelous cloud decided to rest right over that line of trees!

Nice shot with the trees dominated by the marvelous sky. V
PS I'm amazed at the variety and vastness of the space included in the DQ

you must have got the clouds that usually hang around here, as we haven't seen them for a few days
