Tales from Topographic Sky - a photo on Flickriver

            Deep blue skies are a very typical scene in Portugal but, in photo, we all know that some clouds can make the deal... most of the time I don't feel these kind of pictures so much interesting unless the clouds are really odd. Anyway, with this photo I felt the Spring call, the need for Sun and blue sky after a long winter and also one of those moments where you only stare and sigh, all the car and people noises around fade away... yes it's another sunset lol but also one of those "Topographic Skies" that make the difference in a dull end of day... and a still bright sun - in his last minutes - fights the clouds and trys to emerge and conquer, one last time, before the night takes it all... I feel kitsch today lol
