After the storm — Ballito, Dolphin Coast, KwaZulu Natal
Once in a while
I am struck
all over again...
by just how blue
the sky appears…
on wind-played
autumn mornings,
blue enough
to bruise a heart.
—Sanober Khan
A few days before I took this picture, KwaZulu Natal (South Africa) was devastated by the worst floods in 60 years. Days of heavy rain (we had more than 240mm of rain in 24 hours) across the province led to deadly floods, destroying several thousand homes and killing hundreds. So waking up to this incredibly blue sky yesterday morning after a week of stormy weather was absolutely glorious!
