Southern wind, a surreal sunset and a question that is in my mind for a long time "Can beauty save the world?"

in Abundance Tribe3 years ago

A few days ago, here in the northern part of the island, we were literally blown away by a very strong south wind that was coming down from the mountains of the mainland with amazing speed.

Later this day, at the sunset it was the turn of our minds to be blown away by looking at a unique sight, an amazing sky and a monumental cloud.

@fotostef grabbed the camera and went out, and so did I (credits go to hive for reminding me this last month how much I love taking photos!)

There were moments that you had to try hard to stay still and that was even more fun!

The colors were changing fast.

I wondered for a while around the village, no one was out. I even lost Stefanos with this wind...

Me, this monumental sky and the south wind which usually means higher that the average temperature and a magic feeling that Africa is not so far away...

"Beauty will save the world" Fyodor Dostoevsky said.

Ok, I know it is too optimistic, but I know that beauty can save me at least for a moment :)

I even took a video and tried my first editing. The result is not great, the music is a sample from Adobe Premier Rush, but I wanted to share this moment. The way that this beautiful acacia tree was dancing, the amazing colors, I was happy for hours!

Stunning photos, thanks for sharing.

Thank you @jasonliberty! It was an amazing moment!
You can fully enjoy the phenomenon by a way more skilled photographer here. Same place, same time, it is so interesting!

Absolutely phenomenal sky!

Oh yes, that's a good description :)
You had such a great feeling of wonder being under this sky!
Thank you @kieranstone!

Wow what a ski, so glad that blogging has got you out photographing again and sharing it with us! Fun you did some video too.

It was a magical experience, I am glad I managed to keep a reminder of what I felt that moment and to share it with you!
It turns out that blogging is becoming way different than I have ever thought. When I started I thought it would be more about what I already do, share my work etc... A month ago I would have never grabbed the camera :)
And yes, I even did a video, haha! That shows my enthusiasm!!!
Interesting procedure, all of it!
