Happy Tuesday Miriam and thanks for sharing the gorgeous pics, poem and tit bit about the great Vangelis.
Thank you for your kind words, Vishal. Happy Tuesday to you.
Happy Tuesday Marina 😊
🙏
Ohh this is quite a view, maybe a natural cause or side effects of global warming.
I really couldn’t say. Thank you for your visit and kind words.
🙏
I would never have thought dust could create such amazing photos, Marina! Love the music, too! Happy Wednesday now! 😘🥰❤️🌺
When there are clouds around, dust can create spectacular skies especially during dawn or sunset. So happy you enjoyed it, Lauren!
Happy Hump Day with hugs and love to go! xoxoxo
Awesome! And yes, mid week already, Happy Hump Day, dear friend! 😁👏🏼🌸⭐️🌞💞
Okay… I was just checking my spam folder to clear it out and -to my surprise!- I saw some of your comments in there [as well as other friends’] How weird!!!!!!!! 🤔🙄
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
That is strange, but at least you found them. I think I’ll check mine, too. 🤪😎🤩😍🥰💝
Really strange! I’m glad I checked!
🌷💗🌷
Hauntingly ethereal photo!
Thank you, my dear Babsje! It’s the upside of dust [probably the only one too! ;-)] 🙏❤️🤗🌷
What kind of dust is that? It looks very black. I enjoyed the Vangelis piece. It was like entering a magical world.
It’s dust from the Sahara desert. It looks black because it’s dawn. As the day unfolds, it becomes just a fuzz around everything!
Happy you enjoyed the music too.
❤️🤗
For heaven’s sake. I never would have guessed the dust was from the Sahara.
It’s a phenomenon we used to have once or twice during summer and under a heatwave, brought by southeast winds. However, past 5+ years, it visits more often and what’s strange is… it does so even in winter time.
Something to do with climate change, maybe?
Probably more complicated than that. To be honest, eventhough I’ve been very alert on environmental issues, early on in my life, I’ve become skeptical about the whole climate change thing. Our earth changes ‘moods’ every few hundred years. 😉
I haven’t spent any time with the research to say with certainty one way or the other.
Climate changing is a fact, what I’m skeptical about is they way it is served to us and more so the ‘alternative’ sources that are being promoted. So, I’m with you!
🙂

Very cool photos, Marina!
And I always did have a soft spot for Vangelis…
Ah, thank you, Dale! ❤️🤗
I’ve got to admit he does have that effect from time to time! 😉
ps. hope you are well and rested!!!!
My pleasure, my friend.
Not everything he does, but a lot of it!
Getting better… Slowly! xoxo
He does tend to repeat and some of his work seems to be slightly on the pompous side, at least to me. 😉
Well…. you better make that fast but don’t say it so you can take advantage of resting days! 😉
xoxoxoxoxoxo
To me too!!
Yes, I need to be on top of my form sooner! xoxo
😉
Sending more hugs to help out, as well as healing clouds! ☁️ 🤗 xoxoxoxo
Thank you, my friend! They will surely help! 🤗😘
🤗😘🤗
So you go from snow to dust, while we are going from +10C to a -3C ice storm tomorrow.
Norm can’t drive his car in in ice or snow.
I need him to drive me to pick up Tim’s gift.
I’m not good at waiting for presents!
The Vangelis music is quite neat!
Thank you Hera. ERM I mean dahling, Marina!
xoxoxoxooooxoooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Yes, we went from snow last week to 20C+ today with dust as a bonus!
Oh… I hope it clears soon so that you can pick up Tim’s gift! What a kind and generous gem of a friend we have!
Woof… errr sorry … thank you dahling!
🎶🌷💖😘🤗🌷💖
A dust bonus….lolololol!
I can hardly wait for my gift!!! There will be a TY post on Art Gowns. I have a bunch of AGM drawings that are unrelated to a theme. I’m going to use some of those.
I also have most of the drawings for the next instalment of Gowntoons.
I’ll just go with the flow.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
GREAT GREAT!!!!
…and that’s the only way to go: …with the flow!

Dust dust make for great photos.
It does, it does! Great views anyway. 😉 Thank you, my friend!
“Antarctica” is a cool piece, as implies the title. I couldn’t listen to it earlier.
Glad you did! Chilly! 😉
