They landed in Hartlepool marina!
So much of photography is being in the right place at the right time, isn’t it? I’ve done a lot of walking in the past few days because it’s been too nice to be indoors. I was wearily heading home on Saturday teatime as the sun dipped in the sky. Looking for the shortest possible route, I headed through Hartlepool marina, and this was my reward.
A handful of clouds were swimming
The boats reflected sharply in the sea of clouds. I simply stood and stared.
An ordinary view, blessed with sky magic
I felt like this majestic pair, totally at peace.
A smile on my face, I carried on towards home. If you didn’t see it, I was chasing clouds on the horizon earlier in the week. I seem to have shepherded them to our marina.
I’m linking this post to Paula’s Thursday’s Special. So is Paula. Go take a look.

Did you see Cloudbusting by Kate Bush? It’s in my comments. More romantic than funny. I sent it to Gemma (First and Fabulous). She’s not blogging at the moment but we keep in touch.

I remember when I saw the Dean Martin thing on TV – living at home at the time .. and both mom and I nearly pee ourselves of laughter, still so funny …. I remember a couple of years ago, when the crew reported one of their pilots for being drunk in Stockholm. It was British Airways .. he could hardly walk. I know some pilots and what they are up to on stopovers. We don’t want to know. *smile

We’re off out too – dog sitting for 2 weeks so sun came out at the right time. Remember my post about Seven Sisters cliffs and the coastguard cottages? The cliffs collapsed last week right up to one of the cottages so won’t be taking the doggy there!
