It was dusk,
the point when the sun is at 18 degrees below the horizon,
no sunlight in the sky,
yet my attention was drawn by a light up above.
A white cloud was glowing,
for a short while
before the murky clouds
swallowed it.
On this day,
169 years ago
Robert Schumann
conducted the
Premiere of the Manfred Overture op. 115,
in Leipzig, Germany
we hear it from the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler
[Live Recording, Berlin, December 18, 1949]
Still glowing…

Clouds are so fascinating and mesmerizing. I love this special one. Your photo is beautiful as is the music. 🤗😍
Ah, thank you, Sylvia. I can tell you the sight was far more spectacular than what the camera captured, but even with my phone, I had to photograph it!
Happy Monday and week ahead!

The music of your words gives deserved attention to the little phenomenon. You always capture those moments which could easily have passed without notice. That’s what artists do!!
Lovely image and poem.
I am very taken by the “murky clouds” swallowing the “glowing cloud”.
Ah, thank you very much, Ju-Lyn. I’m so happy to hear that!! 🙏😊
Don’t you just love when you are gifted with such light in a puffy cloud? Thank you for the music as well.
I know right?! As if someone switched it on for a few beautiful moments! Thank YOU! So happy you enjoyed both! ❤🥰❤🤗❤

The painter was taking care of you in your own backyard. Beautiful photo and music.
I think it was a cameo appearance of the glowing cloud, just before the dark ones took over the scene! 😉
