We're still having hot and sunny weather. The advantage of August is that the sun now sets earlier than it did back in June*, which may give an hour or so on the balcony in the late evening - with pleasant temperature and still enough light to read. (On a sunny summer afternoon it's way too hot to be out there - or even keep the door open.) With 18 balconies on the building, a picnic table on the lawn beneath, and a football (soccer) ground nearby, it can rarely be called "quiet time", though...
*At Midsummer, sunset was around 22:10 pm
*In Mid August, it is around 20:50

My parents' balcony is beautiful, too, but like yours, can not really be enjoyed on a hot summer's day - when temperatures reach above 30C (we had 36 or so this week), even in the shade of a large umbrella it is too hot to sit there.
Sunset here is a lot earlier than in your parts; around 1/4 to nine this time of year. I've been out walking until 10:00 pm on Monday, it was still VERY warm even without the sun. Of course there is still plenty of light left after sunset, but by the time I was back home, it was fully dark, and the stars were out.
Beautiful sky, and I like the filtered view through your umbrella!
Lovely skies!! I have the same flowers in the back yard and just love that shade of pink! Have a wonderful week!
I love how you have shaded your flowers, so fun and creative!
Wonderful sky. Does anything change quite so quickly?
Sweet sky! Great shots and love your flowers too! Great post~
Pretty PINK flowers. Amazing view of the sky.
Meike, even 28/29 day after day is quite enough to make me feel generally grumpy and not quite "myself"... I don't know how I'd handle 36!
Thanks everyone for your comments :)
