Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Today should be a summer's day. But the clouds are moody, the air is very cool, and the waters at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula seem to be quietly brooding.

Eerie summer day
Grey dramas circling waiting
Deep cool reflections

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.
~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I can relate to the idea of some clouds being Moody. :)
The quietly brooding waters and sky make for quiet contemplation. I'd love a walk there.
Beautiful image!
It looks like a peaceful and quite day by the beach.
I like days at the beach like this, maybe because they do seem a little moody, thoughtful and layed back.
I too like grey, moody days at the beach. Here in California we get far too many sunny days without any clouds. However, up in the state of Washington, where I spend part of my time, the weather is far more interesting. Lots of changes day in and day out - not the same thing everyday. Thanks. I really like your shot. Linnea
Very nice picture. Our skys are grey like that here too.
But no ice...it is a very pretty photo...
A lovely shot, veery nice indeed.
Some days are sunny; some days are not -- so it goes. But I your photo, regardless. :-D
I can identify with "moody" weather for sure! I said this morning that is has to snow, because in the last 48 hours we've seen everything else! It seems the weather is different every time I stick my head out the door the last 2 days!
Your clouds look ominous -- even threatening -- but they do make an interesting photo!
This is what the weather looks like around here today ... cool, grey, foggy.
Hugs and blessings,
I love the expanse! It's beautiful!
I think moody is the perfect way to describe it!
I've been having blogger issues of late, have commented to you a couple of times, but they never materialized...anyway, I think it's all AOK now...it took the cure!
Love the clouds and the moon, what a lovely shot for a poem and wistful thoughts, of course the beautiful music is a must.
Enjoy your summer friend, as our days are getting longer, I know yours are getting short. But we'll take them gladly, however long or short, they're our days!
Hugs from afar!

Wonderful sky shot!

Fantastic shot as always.
Cheers!
