Colour on a Drab Day

I was overcast when I woke this morning.  Although its summer here, one of the westerly fronts that regularly arrives from the Tasman Sea during summer is making a visit today.  After the wonderful sunny weather we have had for the past few weeks, today feels drab and grey.  It reminds me of the day in 2008 when we visited Fengdu on the Yangtze River in China, but without the air pollution which gives the grey sky a yellow hue to match the muddy river.  At least in “Ghost City” there was colour to be found but, to give today its due, the sun is at least trying to break through.
