The magic sky of Tagaytay - #3.

Even after more than seven months in the Philippines, I am still impressed by the extremely varied appearance of the sky in terms of colors and shapes.

During my numerous walks, I often can't help but take pause to observe and photograph the breathtakingly beautiful cloud constellations.
And thus, in the meantime, I have collected a considerable number of pictures again that in my mind are aesthetically pleasing enough to present them to my readers.

I am sure that this time also @tangmo with her preference for the color white will certainly get her money's worth. :-)

Was mich auch nach nun etwas mehr als sieben Monaten Philippinen-Erfahrung immer noch beeindruckt, ist das bezüglich Farben- und Formenvielfalt extrem variationsreiche Erscheinungsbild des Himmels.

Während meiner zahlreichen Spaziergänge kann ich oft nicht anders als innezuhalten und die atemberaubend schönen Wolkenkonstellationen zu beobachten und fotografieren.
Und so hat sich mittlerweile wieder eine beträchtliche Anzahl meinem Ästhetikempfinden nach wunderschöner Bilder angesammelt, die ich meinen Lesern nicht vorenthalten möchte.

Diesmal wird sicherlich auch @tangmo mit ihrer Vorliebe für die Farbe Weiß voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. :-)


Let's start with what awaits me almost every day when I look out of the window: lots of sunshine, a bright blue sky dotted with white, shining specks of cloud.

The first two pictures show my view from the south, while in the next two I was looking out of the north-facing bedroom window.

Beginnen wir damit, was mich fast täglich beim Blick aus dem Fenster erwartet: viel Sonnenschein, strahlend blauer Himmel, gesprenkelt mit weiß leuchtenden Wolkentupfern.

Die ersten beiden Bilder zeigen meine Aussicht in südlicher Richtung, während ich auf den zwei darauf folgenden aus dem nach Norden weisen Fenster des Schlafzimmers sah.




From time to time, gigantic mountains of clouds pile up, whose outgrowths can be interpreted as the faces of animals, ghosts and demons or the shapes of dragons and giants with the aid of a little imagination. :) Von Zeit zu Zeit türmen sich gigantische Wolkenberge auf, deren Auswüchse sich unter Zuhilfenahme von etwas Fantasie als Gesichter von Tieren, Geistern und Dämonen oder Formen von Drachen und Riesen interpretieren lassen. :)




While I was claiming to make out a monstrous giant manta ray with two huge white cloud wings, my wife told me that I finally had a bit too much imagination. :-) Während ich hier einen monströsen Riesenmanta mit zwei gewaltigen weißen Wolkenflügeln ausmachen wollte, attestierte mir meine Frau, nun doch etwas zu viel Fantasie zu haben. :-)

And these are the cloud mountains watched from the deckchairs in the swimming pool. Und das sind die Wolkengebirge von den Liegestühlen im Schwimmbad aus betrachtet.







The following photos prove that the sky over Tagaytay can also shine in bright yellow, orange, red, pink or purple. Dass der Himmel über Tagaytay aber auch in kräftigem gelb, orange, rot, rosa oder violett erstrahlen kann, beweisen die nun folgenden Fotos.












Aren't these truly bizarre works of art created by sun and clouds working together? Sind es nicht wahrhaft skurrile, von Sonne und Wolken gemeinsam erschaffene Kunstwerke?








While the sun has not yet fully set, the moon is already shining in the sky. Während die Sonne noch nicht vollständig untergegangen ist, erstrahlt bereits der Mond am Firmament.

WOW was the first word in my mind when I saw a lot of huge white clouds in your photos….

Another WOW followed when I saw that you mentioned me in your post. I’m very pleased for not only your mentioning, but also for your friendship; i.e. you always know me well. Million thanks for this!

Yeah! I love clouds very much and your post makes me feel so excited. I like to imagine what they look like, too. I can see your imaginations through your photos; i.e. two huge white cloud wings, cloud mountains, etc.

Apart from white clouds, I also love the colors of the sky in your photos. Very magnificent!

Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful clouds and sky. May I assume that this post is especially for me…. Ha ha! ;D

May I assume that this post is especially for me…. Ha ha! ;D

Of course, thought out, crafted and presented for you, my friend! ;-)

Da braut sich ganz schön was zusammen im Pazifik. Mal geben sie sich recht harmlos. Aber dann, ganz plötzlich brausen sie auf und sie wird sichtbar - die gelbe Gefahr.
Und trotzdem kann ich das Gefühl nicht gänzlich von mir schieben, als hätte ich die eine oder andere Formation auch bereits am kroatischen Himmel ausmachen können. Beim nächsten Mal sollte ich vielleicht genauer hinschauen. An den mandelförmigen Augen werde ich wohl erkennen können, ob sie zuvor an deinem Schlafzimmer vorbeizogen.😉

... die gelbe Gefahr.

Ich ahne, was du meinst, aber zumindest derzeit mache ich mir diesbezüglich noch keine ernsthaften Sorgen. Allerdings kennt natürlich niemand die Zukunft...

Und trotzdem kann ich das Gefühl nicht gänzlich von mir schieben, als hätte ich die eine oder andere Formation auch bereits am kroatischen Himmel ausmachen können.

Das kann sehr gut sein. Es gibt sicherlich an vielen Orten wunderschöne Himmel zu bestaunen. Ein entscheidender Unterschied verglichen mit früher ist vermutlich auch einfach, dass ich jetzt mehr Zeit zum Schauen habe. :)

Oh my goodness, the sky in your photos looks wonderful! You're definitely on the beautiful side of the world.

Looking at your photos made me imagine how fresh and amazing the air is over there. I'm saying this because I live in the city, and being in nature is not a frequent experience for me. So, thanks for sharing these awesome shots!

... I live in the city ...

May I ask in which part of the world - just curious? :)

I live here in Singapore.

It’s okay but it’s mostly concrete jungle 😜

Here in my area is also a couple from Singapore which migrated to the Philippines. :)

I guess Singapore is very clean and 'perfect' and rich, but also somewhat stressful because of the work load of the people with very strict laws?

To be honest, I wasn't surprised. Many share the same sentiment that, although it's a nice livable city, it also comes with stresses and challenges.

And it seems the Philippines is a good place for retirement with its affordable cost (compared to here) and beautiful surroundings. :)

Seeing or enjoying the cloud is a fascinating moment in our spare time, we feel calm, peaceful, and comfortable. That is a good moment to be missed, anyway thanks for sharing these photos and God bless you! 😊

... we feel calm, peaceful, and comfortable.

Yes, indeed, exactly that!

Wow!! What an amazing view you have of the clouds. It made my heart goes 😍

Nice to read that! Hope you are fine there! :)

It's always amazing to live in the Philippines. You captured it beautifully.😊

Thanks, my friend! :)

You're welcome.😊

This is truly wonderful to see ... thank you for sharing

You are welcome, nice to read that you enjoyed it! :)

Indeed it's a beautiful place where you can connect with nature. It's also a escape from the hot Metro Manila weather we have.

For me, as a German, even Tagaytay is still rather 'hot', but of course much cooler compared with areas like Metro Manila. :)

Yes, I have German colleagues and you guys are used to colder climates. To me, Tagaytay is cold already but once I get out of the country and experience winter, "cold" gets a different meaning 😅

The smoky clouds are beautiful, changing colors as the day ends. I also do photography. Welcome to my blog.

... changing colors as the day ends.

Yes, the sunsets are very special.

Your photography is always beautiful to look at. Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful photography.

Thank you! :)
