LOOKING UP AND DOWN

After dropping Craig off at the airport early this morning, I stopped off at one of the coastal towns between Alicante and here for coffee.

 As I was walking along the promenade I suddenly remembered HELENA'S idea for this year's photo prompt, and looked over the balustrade into the sea to be met by this sight:

and on looking up, the sky looked like this


By the time I got back  to the car, the rain had started but the sun did eventually get back out again!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

    Oh how cool! Glad you remembered about this challenge. Every time I see a post I think to myself that I want to do that, but always put it off. Maybe I should just do it NOW...

    That sky has such emotion, and you can tell the birds are anticipating the rain. Great job!

    That's a very interesting looking sky. A lot more blue than the one we have here at the moment - it's nice to be able to come here for a flash of blue

    Ah beautiful blue skies :o) We have sunshine today too, which is a welcome change after the grey and snow filled skies that have been hanging around here.
