Large clouds are obscuring any sort of direct sunlight. The sky is a complex mixture of pale blue with areas of extremely pale yellow. Then there are large, dark, grayish blue clouds obscuring the sun. I think it is this blue sky and bluish clouds that are creating this very cold, blue atmosphere. But it is not unsettling or uncomfortable. When I say \u201ccold\u201d I mean in terms of temperature or season as opposed to a harsh, scary \u201ccold\u201d environment. It is cool and pleasant. If it is possible, this blue environment, created by this afternoon\u2019s light, makes it look like winter is coming.<\/p>\n<p>The blue clouds have moved drastically and more pale yellow light has spread across the sky, brightening up the trees and lawn I am looking at ever so slightly. However, that crisp, cool environment is still present.<\/p>\n<p>I feel very serene, at peace. I love the winter\/holiday season, and this lighting for me is hinting at that season\u2019s coming. The blue clouds are not the ominous blue of a coming storm but a gray, blue that I associate with calmness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/lightingdesign\/files\/2015\/11\/image1-e1447798192778.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-278\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/lightingdesign\/files\/2015\/11\/image1-e1447798192778-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/lightingdesign\/files\/2015\/11\/image1-e1447798192778-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/lightingdesign\/files\/2015\/11\/image1-e1447798192778-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/lightingdesign\/files\/2015\/11\/image1-e1447798192778-700x523.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a very strange blue quality outside today.
