the many faces of Gibraltar

i spotted a rainbow yesterday which reminded me of Sylvia Voirol's quote, "Rainbows apologize for angry skies". the night before, there was booming thunder after a creepy lightning show. so the thought that God said sorry in the most beautiful way he knows how was just so life-affirming. God loves us!
COY
in Gib, you can go through all four seasons in just one day. that's how unpredictable the weather is. short-tempered and capricious, even the locals have a hard time understanding her. she changes so fast you gotta pay special attention or you will miss her most beautiful shows.
MOODY
take for example this one misty morning two weeks ago. the Rock was completely covered in mist that when you look outside, you can actually see the particles moving. its eerie and reminded me of the moors in "Wuthering Heights" -- instant cinematography!
COOL and COLLECTED
a perfect moon above the Rock and it was also moving so fast i didn't have time to adjust my camera before it disappeared into the thick levante clouds (only thing missing is a howling wolf IMHO)
DRAMA QUEEN
this was taken one sultry September night. i didn't know they've showcased the Moorish Castle in dramatic lighting. but what a sight! (alas! my poor picture does not do justice)
BOLD
as the saying goes, "red sky at night, sailors delight. red sky in the morning, sailors take warning". that's because, either way, when the sky gets to be like this, she is one bad-ass hoochie if you don't give her R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
