Earlier this morning in Marseille.

My balcony view of all the different shades in the sky. Grey, blue, white and pale yellow.

The eastern massifs remain in shadow; a grey shade.

The city buildings are also a grey shade, as the sun has yet to make a meaningful appearance.

Afternoon conditions in Marseille. Grey rain clouds and a few rays of sunshine. City buildings are even looking bright!

Harsh…but fair comment on my lack of hair JB! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Drying clothes, bag and shoes out now!

This is the weather a few minutes ago. Rain stopped. A bit of sunshine. Typical Moseley conditions! πŸ€­πŸ˜‚

I am doing my best impression of a drowned rat! Downpour of rain. Torrential. At least being a bald man has its advantages! πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ«ΆπŸΌ

A day of torrential rain here in Marseille. As it is so grey and dull, my original colour image has been altered to black and white.

Everything is wetter than wet persons wet bits!

The French architecture flanks the rows of plane trees. Spring has not yet arrived and so the branches are still devoid of leaves.

The difference in weather this morning is stark. 

Dark grey storm clouds are overhead, here in Marseille.

A golden glow from the streetlights illuminates the city buildings.

The sun is rising. A fact. A truth. The issue is, that it is hidden behind the dark sky.

Early morning and a lonely cloud sits over the distant massifs of eastern Marseille.

The city buildings are being slowly lit by the rising light of the sun.

Insomnia time over Marseille.

The foreground has the city buildings all lit up by the golden glow of the streetlights.

The sky is mainly clear and is becoming brighter by the impending arrival of our sun.

A few fish shaped clouds, in a grey colour,  swim across the sky.
