I really enjoyed the weather on Thursday. It made me ask another weird question: why don't shadows appear as often when the sky is overcast than when it's a sunny day? My guess is the intensity (temperature?) of the light gets lower as the sunlight is diffused by the clouds. So, going by this theory, there is some sort of correspondence between the temperature of the air on a given day and the temperature of the light. That is, on a cool, cloudy day, one gets this frosty, gray sort of light, and on a hot, Summery day, one gets that warm, Summery light instead.
Great image and great question! it mostly has to do with the fact that the clouds are acting as lots of little lenses and reflectors that the sunlight is getting filtered through. We are losing the sense of direction (or those rich shadows) because the light is being reflected everywhere and diluted through thick water droplets (clouds). Great!
