#ourworldiswonderful: Last one for the month, so I thought I'd feature the wide open vista of the Italian mountains.

#ourworldiswonderful: Thought I'd leave you tonight, after a bit more rain, with a picture of a pretty spectacular cloud over the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Zakynthos.

A large cloud billows up from just above the sea.

#ourworldiswonderful: Tonight, I leave you with a photo of the River Wye as it is today after all the rain. So far, it hasn't burst its banks!

A wide angle shot of the River Wye in full spate after rainfall, with a sky of blue with some threat from the clouds.

#ourworldiswonderful: Tonight, I thought I'd leave you with something simple but beautiful in its own way.

The deep blue sea, seen as a gentle, soft, unbreaking wave with the reflection of the bright sky giving depth.

#ourworldiswonderful: Been okay here today. I leave you with a shot taken on the Gower in Wales. Rhossili Bay under a September sky, shot from the top of the cliff leading to the Worm's Head Peninsula.

Serried ranks of small waves flow with white horses at their crests into the wide shallow bay under a September sky of blue with grey clouds.

#ourworldiswonderful; after a dull, wet, miserable day here, I thought I'd leave you with a moody sunset from the Greek island of Zakynthos.

A moody sky over a silent, golden sea overlays the glow of a sunset.

#ourworldiswonderful: Rain all day here today, so I close with a beautiful example of Hibiscus rosa sinensis, taken on a Greek island one September.

A beautiful white flower with a central crimson patch and yellow stamens rests against the green leaves of the bush that produced it.

#ourworldiswonderful: Today, we are beset by thunder, lightning, and torrential rain, so I thought I'd leave you with a September shot from the Greek island of Zakynthos, with that lovely Mediterranean Sea to wallow in.

A diagonal of rocks breaks the surf of the blue Mediterranean sea on the coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos.

#ourworldiswonderful: Been a lovely day here in the Forest of Dean. But, tomorrow, we're forecast storms, so I'm leaving you with a taste of what that can look like in the forest here.

Heavy rain partly obscures the background of trees over a local fishing pond with water lilies floating on its surface.

#ourworldiswonderful: I leave you tonight with a shot of the Italian mountains taken from above the small town of Stresa on the shores of Lake Maggiore, where we spent a lovely celebration of our wedding anniversary a few years ago,

Distant mountains surround a large lake under a blue September sky patched with thin clouds. In the foreground small trees and bushes line the edge of the green field from which the photograph was taken.
