Clouds collect overhead, darkening and protecting the landscape
Cumulus curtains part and the earth awakens
Colorful voices shout from sloping shorelines
Clouds collect overhead, scattering and exposing vulnerabilities
Until the blanket of night falls again

Lovely photos of the views with the clouds in the sky.
It looked like a lovely warm day there. Love the blue in the sky.
Thanks, Liz! Yeah, it was a nice day with some great clouds.
The clouds just accented the shores in your beautiful pictures Siobhan. I love the Oregon coastline.

Thank you, Egidio!
Smart your approach to this challenge. The colours are fantastic and I love that you ended your post as you did. I love that last photo.
Thank you, Sofia! I added the last photo at the last minute. Glad you liked it. :)
You've celebrated the clouds as much as the shorelines, and both are lovely :) I especially like that last shot, it's very atmospheric.
Thanks, Sarah! I had been saving those photos for an appropriate prompt. Glad you liked my skies and shorelines. :D
Great clouds, great shorelines.
Thanks, John! :)
