Well, we’ve finally “finished” our Atlas Pools project, with today finally getting the last permit signoff (electrical, which decided last week that they wanted something changed)!
All we have to do now is enjoy it 🙂
Final permit signatures
Viewing clouds at the ocean?!
As the sun set tonight, we had fabulous distant cloud views – one cloud bank was lit by the sunset further to the west, while a second cloud bank towered into the sky;Â I assume I’m not the only person that thinks “face in the cloud”:

The amazing thing is that it seems these cloud formations were out over the Gulf, west of Florida – after the sun had set we saw regular lightning in the distance at the same position as the cloud “tower”, and Accuweather pinpointed the nearest lightning at 75 miles away! In the same direction, so I think it’s correct – you can see a long way in (flat) Florida!
Sunset after the storm
Summer in Florida experiences basically daily afternoon or evening storms, as the wet air rolls in from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and the Atlantic to the east, then meets in the center. Living now in about the center of the tall thin state means the meeting and subsequent storms surround us a bit west, a bit east, or over us.
Today as the storm cleared, I took a sunset picture:
