The clouds are covering the bright daytime sun and it appears that sun is peeping from behind the clouds.

Cape Town is set for a cool and partly cloudy weekend, with isolated showers expected to make a brief appearance before clearer conditions settle in, according to the South African Weather Service (Saws).
Cold front brings cooler conditions
The weather service forecaster Lehlohonolo Thobela said a cold front moving south of the Western Cape on Friday will usher in cooler weather, particularly across the western parts of the province.
He added that, “partly cloudy and warm-to-cool conditions are expected throughout the weekend, with isolated to scattered showers and thundershowers possible over the eastern parts.”
Residents can also expect “on-and-off windy conditions along the west coast and the adjacent interior,” he said.
Early showers, then clear skies
In Cape Town, the weather is expected to remain partly cloudy and cool into Saturday, with light rain forecast from Friday afternoon to early Saturday morning.
“It will be partly cloudy and cool from today into tomorrow, with isolated showers expected Friday afternoon into early morning on Saturday. Otherwise, fine,” Thobela said.
Saturday will start off damp and cloudy, with humidity at 90% at 2am and light rain forecast.
