The clouds in a New Zealand sky

 My 3rd experience of Covid. Or maybe my 2nd? Not sure.

This time I get our bedroom to myself, a lovely view to an open sky with clouds different from anywhere else. NZ clouds put on an unequalled show, from floating innocent in a baby-blue sky, to immense creamy mega-shapes towering over us, assuming an evolving crimson flush at sunset, before turning a heavy concrete gray like a threat, when the sun is gone.

Lech Majewsky came here to film clouds for The Mill and the Cross, (which takes place in Flanders). I recognised them straight away. 

The Mill and the Cross is an outstanding movie. Another movie I love is Magnolia, by Paul Thomas Anderson. Both wildly original.
