Yes indeed. OM occasionally struggle to put away the average French sides.

OM stadium has a great atmosphere. This image was taken at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Whatever you are doing in the world, I was watching this mornings sunrise over Marseille (it is just hidden by the heavy, grey clouds). The golden glow from the streetlights give off the illusion of sunlight!

Since the weather is currently cloudy, windy and wet….you have this from yesterday morning instead!
I have even recycled my favourite quote! 🤣😂🤭

“Bees don’t waste their time telling flies that honey is better than shit.”
- Unknown.

#photography #marseille
Sunrise over eastern Marseille! A band of grey and red clouds sit over the distant horizon. An otherwise blue early morning sky is accentuated by our suns golden glow.

“Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.”
- Carl Sandburg.

#photography #marseille
Our bedroom window view from earlier this morning. The rising sun in the east, provided this layer of cloud colour. All the fire colours are in the sky, to complement the grey. No weeping…only joy at seeing nature’s finest.

“Courage is found in unlikely places.”

Sunrise over the eastern horizon of Marseille. The clouds rollover the distant mountains. The tangerine glow breaks the morning gloom. The faint glow of light from random windows is down to the courage of the early risers.

A solitary sunbeam shines across the eastern side of Marseille. Grey and white storm clouds continue to drift across the late afternoon sky.

Trusted mid afternoon view over eastern Marseille. Behind the grey storm clouds is a blue sky. The sun’s low light illuminates the city buildings.

It is still grey here JB…but, behind the clouds it is is forever Royal Blue! 💙🤍🤭

“Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.”
- Margaret Mead.

#photography #marseille
Who would have believed that sunrises continue to show off natures beauty? A mainly pale yellow shade dominates the clear sky. As the sun remains behind the distant horizon at this time, it and the city buildings both remain in the shadows.

Strange cloud formation over Marseille this early evening. As the sun sets in the west…stranger things happen in the sky. A mixture of grey and pink.

This mornings balcony view over Marseille. The city sleeps and no applause for the coming of the new day. A clear sky glowing with the rising sunlight. The dance between night and day begins. The buildings of the city are lit by their streetlights.

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.”
- Og Mandino.

Both early morning light and night’s darkness together. The distant horizon (when viewed from Marseille) remains in darkness. The golden glow of the oncoming sunrise is the next layer of light. Above that are angry dark grey and pale pink clouds.

This was my last one Kim…I will add to it in a few months. By that, I don’t mean I going to get some crayons out and colour it in! 🤭😂

Your last one was beautiful! 👏🏼🫶🏼

I got this one was a different elevation…not as red…but, I caught the red rainbow!
Red and grey clouds, with a hint of red rainbow anyone? The sunlight (such as it was) came in low and from the left (west). I couldn’t see the other end of the rainbow.

“We'll take the cake with the red cherry on top.”

#photography #marseille
Like a red cherry on a cake, sat a giant, cherry red rain cloud. Supporting it was a layer of grey clouds sits, with a base of pink lit Marseille city buildings.

“Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.”

Simply beautiful clouds and lines of sunlight this early afternoon in Marseille. Behind the black and white clouds sits a clear blue sky. The city buildings look dark; yet lines of them are brought to brightness by the sun.

The pale red sunbeams are shining directly onto the sea, from behind a large grey cloud. It was late in the evening and the darkness has started to become settled. The day is heading into the night.

Nothing prevents the momentary fire sky this morning. Dark orange yellow and black, mixed with a little blue. Perfection in nature for a happy memory.

For a fleeting moment I believe the sky came close to perfection! I am happy it was not overlooked. As the sun continued to rise over Marseille…this…a fire red sky mixed with dark grey. It was accompanied by a distant horizon in shadow.

“You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
- A. A. Milne.

Faint pink clouds, alongside scattered grey clouds in the early morning sky. The ground glow is rising from the east (right hand side) and sits on the distant horizon. Intermittent light shines through the darkness surrounding the city buildings.

“I always sit in the back of a plane. It's much safer. You never hear of a plane backing into a mountain!”

Today’s gusty weather has brought some weird cloud formations over Marseille! Is it a plane over the distant horizon? Definitely not a bird! UFO? Late afternoon blue sky is very much obscured by grey/white clouds.
