Nel blu dipinto di arancio


Giovedi la nostra fortuna col tempo (mi sono abbronzato un pochino perfino io) sembrava essersi esaurita. Grosse nuvolacce si stavano avvicinando e le previsioni davano pioggia fino a domenica. Alcune delle nuvole erano cariche ri pioggia, ma altre erano veramente strane... avevano una tinta arancio un po' sinistra, giusto sopra la citta'. Dapprima abbiam pensato fosse inquinamento, ma le nuvole intorno erano perfettamente bianche. Alcune ore dopo, il sole e' tornato a splendere, e non se ne e' andato nemmeno nei giorni seguenti, nonostante le previsioni. Ci siam chiesti a quel punto se il cambiamento atmosferico tempo fosse collegato a quelle strane nuvole basse.

On thursday our amazing luck with the weather (even I could get a little tan) seemed to have started to fade... big dark clouds were approaching and the forecast was rain until sunday. Some of the clouds were loaded with rain and some were very, very weird, having a sinister orange tint to them, right above the city. At first we thought it might have been pollution, but right next to them more perfectly white clouds were floating in the sky. A few hours later, the sun came back to shine. And it kept shining for the days to come, despite the forecast. We wondered at that point what the big orange clouds were and if the sunshine afterwards was related in any way to this strange low hanging haze.
