copper and clouds by kate bailward
A glow of sun from far above, and the damp, smoky scent of cloud all around

 

into the clouds by kate bailward
A crisp-edged broom breaks through its muffling layer of cloud

 

fruitful wasteland by kate bailward
With the cloud is at its thickest, and the slope at its steepest, we scramble through undergrowth and skid on crunchy, loose-lying, black ash on our final push to the top

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

… where the clouds – at just the right moment – clear.

Etna, you never fail to amaze.
