...after a cold September rain
But before getting into the clouds here's my last photo from August:
This small mountain ash bears only few fruits. It is still too small to participate in the winter forecasts. ;-)
Just in time for September, the temperatures have dropped drastically. During the night of September 1, a cold rain passed through our valley. The day after, many beautiful cloud formations lent themselves to photography. It was also the first day after a long time that I had to put on a jacket again.

A good day to chase the clouds. Several layers pile up on top of each other and form a variety of shapes.
After the rain, the colors are intense and it becomes more autumnal with each passing day.
The view changes constantly and quickly. This peak that was completely shrouded a moment ago becomes visible again.
Despite all the splendor in the sky, we should not lose sight of the small, beautiful things. I like these tiny natural "gardens".
The spectacle of the constantly changing clouds continues.
My two favorite larches catch some timid rays of sunshine and become the main protagonists.
The yarrows are now the most common flowers left. A glow of light penetrating through the branches of the larches illuminates this beautiful specimen.
The following photo was actually a test. I wanted to see if the totally closed aperture would ruin the image because of the diffraction. But I don't think this is the case. With this camera, I will not be afraid to work with the smallest apertures if it helps me achieve my goal. Of course this was not necessary for this picture, but it is as I said a test.
This image is not resized (only slightly cropped) so you can examine the quality at 100%. What do you think about the effect of diffraction? Please let me know.
There are still some towering clouds but also again much more sunshine than the day before. The next night it is supposed to rain again: a blessing for my beloved valley!
