A Break on The Clouds

It was a dark and stormy night…..as the saying goes. The westerly wind howled around the house and as I drove out to walk the dogs before dawn the rain poured down. However the rain was short-lived and as we progressed along the riverside tracks there was a hint of colour in the clouds to the east. I was fascinated and stood around in one spot waiting for the scene to develop. I was not disappointed. As the sun rose its light painted the clouds on the distant horizon cream and then gold. Then there appeared a break in the clouds……Within a few minutes the sun was shining through and casting its light on the hills to the west. I remained transfixed on the magical light over the hills to the east.
