This was a difficult Weekly Photo Challenge as I have nothing fancy in my photographs. I haven’t got that far with editing skills. And I am also a little short of time, but I saw The Urge to Wander’s Post and though – well, maybe.
So:
The merging of air and water: RAIN!
It is almost the end of winter in Perth and we have had less than half our average of winter rainfall. So I celebrate it.
This time, I was in Hyde Park when it rained, and it was only a brief shower:
And here, I caught the merging of rain fall and sunlight on the tree and one of the ponds:
Then there is the daily merging of dark and light, night and day, and in this photo, there is the additional merging of moisture and winds to make a magnificent thundercloud catching sunsetty light. The cloud is in the couth east:
These two are the merging of day and night also – clouds catching the last of the sunlight, and in the first, merging it to the soft pastels of winter:
This last is a glorious winter sunset with the rays of the setting sun merging with moisture in the air to blast colour into the darkening sky, merging the nearest clouds into a like-minded brilliance.
Hmm. Not a brilliant interpretation, I am thinking, but I hope you enjoyed my entry into this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Merge.
& I would’ve linked more but apparently, I’m limited to 10.

I did calendars of Hyde Park last year & although I only printed for friends & family, I ended up selling 5! So will print the same amount this year, but will also take thme round to local shops as well – & more friends want them now. Not sure whether to charge or gift 😀 Thesis went nowhere, portraits complete, gardening today (it’s a total shambles & spring is already here) and then – PhD full time, apart from the teaching & job hunting. Nothing to apply for today 😦 Applied for 2 on Friday…
