Clouded Visibility

When rain clouds start to form in the horizon, before the rain, the visibility range increases radically. Sometimes allowing us to see the coastline as far as 80Km, with crisp details of the landscape, like natural or human structures. While it might seem counterintuitive, overcast or cloudy days can provide more uniform lighting conditions, reducing harsh shadows and glare, and resulting in better visibility for certain landscapes. This was one of these occasions, where the clouds diffused the sunlight and brought the island of Berlenga closer to shore.
