A good desert sunset was a rarity, best I can recall, but every now and then a cloud formation would be in the right place to produce something special, such as that in today’s photo.
William Wordsworth’s poem, commonly known as ‘Daffodils’ was first written in 1804 and revised in 1815. It’s the opening lines that inspired my title for today’s photo. If you don’t know, ‘Daffodils’ starts with the lines:
The road to Kota Kinabalu is clearly visible in today’s image, etched into the side of the ridge near the base of the photo. The Park HQ complex is in the bottom left of the photo.
Having posted some photos a few days back looking up towards the summit of Mount Kinabalu from the resthouse at Laban Rata, today’s photo is the reverse…
Today’s photos were taken shortly after yesterday’s. The difference is I framed them vertically which further emphasizes the clouds. Like all the shots in my Everglades series it’s a three-shot 4EV range HDR. Also like most of the it was taken while the airboat was in motion.
While the band of cloud above me moves out to the west, another thunderhead is rising in the east over Miami. Yesterday I posted my view to the west, today it’s my view to the east. Same bank of cloud rendered almost black by the density of the water vapor blocking the sun. By this time we were headed back to the boat ramp.
