We are back in Mallacoota. As we drove down the road a few burns were visible but from Mallacoota the only impact was a colourful haze to set off the crescent moon.
On the next day (May the 4th be with you) a visitor from the sky flew into one of our glass doors. A White-headed Pigeon: from the grey on its breast probably an immature. No idea why, it can't see through the house and the door is sheltered by a 2m deep veranda. After wandering around looking a trifle concussed it then hopped up on the railing for a while ...
.. before going back on the deck and wandering around. By that time I had got a camera rather than my phone.
As the afternoon progressed some interesting clouds built up.
But then cleared off (with no precipitation) as the evening came on.
Interesting celestial sights continued on the 5th. As the sun set the cloud cover appeared to drop some virga, but no rain was recorded.
The crescent moon is putting on some weight. Memo to self: find a tripod attachment for my camera - I know I have one somewhere.
The sky was generally above average interest on the 7th. At some point I took these sunbeams, which in family mythology are likened to a bible story of prophets ascending unto heaven.
Later in the day, beginning at 1722 hours, the clouds and setting sun gave some nice views.
Mount Imlay (~40km North)
Mount Waalimma in the background (~35 km NW).
These last two images are from 1747 hours, looking NW.
The moon was fairly obliging with much detail available in a shot while quite daylight (1722).
After dark (2058 hrs) there is less detail available through my camera (allied to my low skill level in mucking about with exposure etc) but an interesting effect with the clouds.
