Strange atmospherics

I can't foresee the end of my pictures or drawings. I keep on working, and trying to do them in the hope of finding this result which to me is surprising, more surprising than finding an Easter egg as a child.

Raining as I set off at 4:30, but dry in Zeeland.
Quite a lot darker than yesterday upon arrival (5 o'clock). Slight wind coming from opposite direction to yesterday's, so NNW. 
Extremely humid, though amazingly, the ink drying very quickly. Strangely contradictory phenomena: wind turbines turning quite busily, yet almost no wind where I sat (mosquitoes gathering under umbrella). Wind turbines pointing NNW, yet clouds slowly coming in from SSW. Thunderstorm forecast, with rain and lightning, yet only hazy almost-mist. 

Very quiet, apart from the constant bickering by black-headed gulls. 
Hares frolicking at a safe distance.
Six white turtle-doves land on the beach.
At intervals, groups of 15-20 swifts head towards the water and start skimming the surface. Since there is virtually no surf today, they are perfectly mirrored in the water.

Good day.
