A carpet of cloud, the magic and serenity, thus views from above of a morning of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness.

"Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness." 

For it was the poet, John Keats who used those opening words for his poem, named simply as To Autumn. And it was on the morning of the 26th of November 2025 that those opening words for his poem seemed incredibly apt, for down on the ground, mists and a delightful crisp frost along with fruitfulness, and yet as the morning slowly went on, what happened? The skies slowly began to break, and a break in the clouds meant that I could send the metaphorical flying tripod with its camera attached to it into the air, and below are the photographs that I managed to capture this time around, of a rather shrouded Nottinghamshire town of Eastwood, looking slightly ethereal, yet magical, underneath the carpet of cloudy/misty conditions below, and from above I was taken away by what I could see below. 

"Gentle arts of a Crisp Morning."

"Stillness above the landscape."

"Shrouded is Suburbia. The peace of floating gently above."

"As the view goes, the atmosphere below. A delightful Morning of Beauty."

"Peaking down towards Eastwood Church, and a sea of Cloud."

"Above the white sea, a glow."

"The light, the magic of a white sea below."

"The sea of Cloud, meets the Suburban Shore."

A "Wes Anderson" of a Pastel Sky.

"For sometimes we should all take a moment to look up at the sky, for it is here in where you will find the best works of art, works of art that are created by nature which has an interesting and seemingly complex way of creating spectacular colours and abstracts that are waiting to be captured."

And the above, well it certainly does echo what happened on Sunday the 2nd of November 2025, when I looked outside and saw a sky that quite simply looked as if it had "beautiful Wes Anderson" like tones to it, for it did and these skies were only visible for a very short time indeed, but here is what I had managed to capture.

"Autumn Pastel Beauty."

"Gentle Blue, Pink Layers."

"Layers and Wes Anderson VIsits."

"Serenity of the Sky, as the Wes Anderson Colours they Glow."

From the archives: Sometimes we just need to look up at the artist called Nature when it paints the sky.

One of the most interesting things about landscape photography is "just how the sky, can make for an interesting subject within any landscape photo." And that in itself is true, a landscape with a glorious sky, a sunrise, a sunset, even just colours within it can make all the difference, but I as a photographer also have a certain thing for the observation of cloudscapes, and when there is a certain colour in the sky, or even glorious clouds being lit up, well I just have to capture them, and in August of 2022, I remember vividly the sky exploding into a symphony of colours, pinks and purple that looked as if they had been painted - maybe they had, but me, well I just had to capture them and in the end this is what I had managed to capture.

"Islands in Pink and Purple Glow."

"Through layers of grey, the painting of the sky."

"Swirls and Magical Cotton Layers a Glow."

"Finding Serenity in the Glow of Colours."

"As the sky becomes a work of Art."

"The Change."
