Turbulent skies

The skies were turbulent today. At the end of the afternoon, thick cotton clouds in various shades of grey rolled over Leuven. At times they concealed the sun, ringing in an early dusk, then again the sun broke through with force casting a glow on the rooftops. A chronicle of today's nightfall...

The roof of Huis de Munter lights up as the sun breaks through.

Thick grey clouds hover over the towers of the Klein Begijnhof and Sint Maartensdal.

A lead-coloured blanket attempts to cover the sunset.

Cotton candy turns blue as dusk sets in.


Told you this sight would come back.

Bella Italia

I took this picture in 2004, while on holiday in Florence with my boyfriend. I like how it captures the atmosphere at dusk in an Italian city: the fading daylight giving way to shades of blue, people sitting around passing time before dinner, adding a splash of colour to the scenery with their outfits. The vespa passing by was a stroke of luck, adding movement to the picture.
