The skull in the sky

For today's countdown to Halloween post, let's talk a bit about the weather. We were taking a walk during the Scarecrow Festival (more on that in future posts) and the evening had already started to fall when I saw this cloud. I don't know if you can see it, but it looked like a skull. It made the atmosphere very eerie and even a bit apocalyptic. It was a perfect moment: the sun was up but its light was dimming, the air was cool and filled, just a bit sharp and filled with autumn smells, and then we saw this hulking skull in the sky. In autumn, when Halloween comes, even the sky can become macabre.
