That day the blue sky was adorned with beautiful white clouds. It doesn't happen every day, as the clouds mostly get stuck far behind the mountain Sierra Bernia. The clouds reached the top of it and there were some lucky ones that achieved to pass it and float over this small bay. I couldn't resist. Between the two works, and a lunch break I grabbed the camera and the DJI Gimbal and went to the small cove from where they could be seen nicely. That little cove can be reached by a steep path which goes down from the top of the cliff. I made this path many times but seems that one of the heavy rains damaged the improvised path and washed out the soil around the stones.
Once I was down by the water, I unpacked the tripod with a lot of excitement and tried to find some relatively flat surface among the rocks to place it. Then I attached to it the gimbal to shoot a time-lapse video and decided that the next hour will be dedicated to that. For a half minute of time-lapse footage, you need around an hour or so... So I started with it but something went wrong! After some minutes, the battery of that "thingy" went wrong 😂. I got just a few seconds of footage and I had to accept the reality - the red light that showed the low battery level.
Well, not a problem, I thought. I will make just a few photos with the camera. But, but, but... Mr Nikon also decided to show me on the display - low battery - please, recharge!
What was going on here?
Nada!
That cove and the waves, clouds and wind were there just for me and seemed nothing should be shared publicly. At least, not in the way I planned to do. Just phone photos can come here, and we can still see those white clouds there, you just imagine they are moving quickly :D
It is good to practice our imagination lol!
Just a short explanation of why the colour of the water is not as blue as it usually is. The yellowish colour is due to the quantity of rain that fell the day before. The rainwater is drained into the sea, and it also contained mud (from the dry riverbed). That is why the sea in the bay doesn't look clean and clear. However, you can see the darker blue colour on the part that is away from the seashore. The rainwater didn't reach until there, so it stayed blue and clean.
I stayed there for some time until a man arrived with a dog. I didn't go away because of him, but I had to go home and back to work. Mission failed, and my time-lapse video was not made, but I do have a few seconds of footage. I converted that short video into a GIF but it doesn't really show what the timple-lapse did, so I will better skip posting it here.
Maybe the next time I see white clouds in the blue sky, I would make sure the camera and gimbal are charged, so I can try again to make a time-lapse video. Until then, just static photos and our imagination switched on :))

Oh no, no imagination needed here! Everything is shown clearly in your beautiful pictures, regardless of your failed plans. In fact, nature just had other plans for you that day. It is the one that decides whether to allow you to capture it in video, time-lapse or photos (I say this very often when I talk about animals - part of the nature, because they are usually the ones who allow us or not to photograph them. Because sometimes, no matter how hard we tried, it turns out that we couldn't focus and the pictures are blurry. However, this is only found out when you get home, for example. 😁) Now nature has just told you almost from the beginning: No, you will not capture me today. Another day yes, but not today!
So, I wish you this another day and thank you for sharing this beautiful nature experience here! 😊
I agree, and it's interesting to realize that it's not always we who can decide what we will take a photo (or in this case a video) of. The animals, some of them like to "pose" but there are those who just refuse to stay still 😅 like the cats I meet on the streets, they just move so quickly around me and if I am cuddling them, they search for my hand so mission impossible to have a photo 😂
Thanks, I am sure there will another opportunities. I hope this post fits this little inspired by nature community 😇
Of course, it fits 😊 Every personal experience with nature in daily life, presented from own point of view, own thoughts and feelings, perfectly fit into the main idea of the community.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend! 🌞
Good to hear that 🙂
Have a great weekend you too 🐾🍀
That's too bad about the battery. The time lapse video would have been neat to see. At least you got to enjoy the scenery yourself. That's the main thing.
That's true, at least I had some time outside of my routine and constant rush. I made already a video from this spot that I included in a music post - long time ago, and from the cliff too one or two time-laps videos. That's why I know how cool it can turn out, seeing the clouds moving quickly and if there are boats in the bay, it's even nicer. It's fun 😊
The batteries - my fault not having them charged always, or at least check sometimes on that, so in these unplanned situations be prepared for action 😁
Those accidents happen. It's a good thing you could take these amazing photos of the beach. The day looks clear and the waters though stained with dust, will settle soon. The blue will be back.
Even the clouds seem to have given a moment to appreciate the clarity of the skies. I bet it got cloudy afterwards.
Accidents happen, moreover when we forget to recharge and check the devices we wanted to use 😂
The blue came back, of course, and the clouds...the very next day there were none of them...
Ha, ha, ha, ha. Give yourself a memo to remember to recharge your equipments. 😅
Seems like we are reactivating the league?
Hahaha, I think I am far away from that point :D
Oh, well... No poetry except in the subtext of posts. 🤣
Ha ha ha!... Curious story of batteries in conspiracy! :)... But are excellent photos, I loved it... And I loved that fact about the yellow areas on the surface... Now I understand why they happen and that they have to do with the previous rains.... I think I've seen something similar on our beaches once... Thank you very much for sharing... Beautiful post, with beautiful photos and sweet lines to read...
!PIZZA
Haha, batteries in conspiracy 😂 - that's funny!
I am glad you enjoyed the read, and the photos, well, I can't compare myself to any of you who are great and professional photographers. But I do have fun 😊
The sea. Yeah, rain with mud mixed with salty water = not nice seeing 😅
Whoa, just whoa, what more I can say? This is perfection! A God's greatest creation. This Is the kind of sceneries that I want to see everyday in my life. I can imagine myself in 40s, doing a sightseeing here. Enjoying the fresh breeze 🤩
Why in 40s? Why not already? :))
I think also that you would enjoy this sightseeing. At least, nothing scary to imagine here...no falling rocks from the mountain and no creepy scenes lol 😂
Aaawww really all of them out of battery charge… oh what a moment. Sorry to hear about that.
But we still have some great captures. And I know the water colour well. After rains the mud washes into the sea.
Thanks for sharing these photographs. Glad you did enjoy a little break and the scenery.
Have a good night 👋🏻😴😴
Well, that was a funny moment. I was a bit sorry as I new those clouds will not come back the next day. But at the same time it's was ok, accepting the things and go with the moment 😊
Thanks @littlebee4 to come with me to this place, I bet you would come well prepared and not like me, with low batteries 😂
Good afternoon (responding between two gigs 🎶😁)
I can relate… I had that sometimes. That I used the camera so much, there was no battery left when something amazing was to capture. So don’t worry you are not alone 😉😎
Happy to join you.
Good evening now 👋🏻😊 hope the gigs went well.
Enjoy your day further!
Happy Saturday @mipiano

You too have a unique username @mipiano, I presume you are an excellent pianist!😍
Thank you for responding to my comment. Have a great day!🤗😊
When technics is our enemy... But also mobile photos are fine. Have more luck next time 🙂.
It was my fault, not checking out if they were charged or not ;) But realized it too late 😂
Thanks @hairyfairy
Nature always have something into it like we feel that it is attracting us
Nature is amazing, we can't deny it!
You always have perfect shots..it may be a short exploration, but you took the photos well. It would be nice to go back there with fully charged camera haha... Happy weekend @mipiano 😊
Yeah, would be great, but not every day those clouds that I wanted to shoot come. There will be other opportunities though, I am sure. Thanks @jane1289 for you encouragement, always 🌟
Hope you are having a good weekend too 🙂

The yellowish color of rainwater doesn't affectvits beauty at all. It's not even noticeble if you didn't mention it. The place looks great, it's more like a place where we can focus on imagining things and unwinding some stress.
wow without a doubt when you want you can. beautiful views recorded by your photographic lenses. Congratulations.
