Photo challenge in June
It is the travel blogger Maria's memoirs who organises the photo challenges and the theme for June is "clouds". It can be all kinds of clouds and maybe also fog, I think - fog is clouds that reach down to the ground.
There are of course lots of photos of clouds in the archives, but I still found this theme a bit challenging. The difficulty lay in figuring out where we might have taken some clouds that stand out... In the end, we ended up with a collection of cloudy photos! You can also see previous themes here:
Clouds in the Alps
I will start by showing some photos from the Alps. When you are high in the mountains, you are close to the clouds, and often the clouds are all around you. The photos are from Switzerland and Austria, from three different trips.
Clouds at sunset
When the sun goes down, the clouds sometimes turn a beautiful red or pink colour. Here are some photos of sunsets, one in Portugal and two in Sweden.
Dimma
Clouds and fog are the same thing, with the simple difference that clouds do not reach the ground. So we take the liberty of showing some photos of fog as well. Here are photos from three trips: Poland 2014, Ireland 2018 and Italy 2018.
Which of the photos do you like best? Do you have any photos of clouds of your own? If you have a blog - feel free to join in and make your own cloud-themed post!

So nice pictures! I think my favourites are the last two and the one where the sunset clouds are reflected in the water ???

Clouds are really fascinating! Well, if they're not like a uniform grey cover on the sky, that is!
You have really found many nice clouds in the archive. I think I like "View from Ringsö" the best, where they are reflected so nicely in Lake Mälaren. But it was a difficult choice to pick that one 🙂.

Haha, it's true, those even grey ones are not so inspiring 😉 Glad you like the Ringsö picture, it's nice there by the water 🙂 .

Fantastic cloud pictures. So easy to pick two favourites: the image taken from inside the plane and the alpine peaks visible through the cloud cover and of course the wonderful cloud formation from Cascais.

I don't know what it is about Sweden, but I have to say, that I
never seen such beautiful cloud formations as in summer Sweden.

Fog in Poland is my favourite. A mysterious landscape.
