You really do seem to have an eye for these kinds of shots. You could do calendars and stuff.

It had to be rebuilt at one time because it was destroyed in a rebellion.

I had that problem in the mountains. Its cloudy so much and I would return to the same places all the time and sometimes never get a blue sky. Actually I prefer blue with some cloud That's asking a bit much though I think

I think you're right about blue with some cloud.

Yes it looks much nicer than all blue. I like nice pronounced clouds
