Our friends left real early this morning and didn’t have the chance to witness how the weather should actually be this time of year. It’s such a pity their days here were mostly cloudy and sometimes even rainy. I am experimenting with ‘brushes’ in Procreate. Aren’t these clouds looking very real? Anyway the sun was … Read more
Yesterday evening we could witness quite a sight: the sun going down, turning everything into orange together with sea mist against the mountain wall and below on the ground. Beautiful!
