The cold north wind began in the middle of the day yesterday, to chase the clouds away. We awoke to a cold clear morning.

Reminded me of the Lord of the Rings.

In Seattle the north wind usually brings clear weather, in the winter it can be very cold, since the wind is coming from Alaska and Canada. A long time ago I wrote this description of how I loved the cold, very clean north wind when I was a child: Winter wind from the north.

For Hammad Rais’s Weekend Sky #5. And the Lens Artists Challenge this week: the sun will come out tomorrow.
