A sunset worthy of praise

There has been a cyclone ravaging our northern coasts and now it has turned into a rain-bearing depression and has been heading south. We have been told to expect rain tomorrow and Wednesday. This evening we have had some spectacular cloud formations. Vince rushed out with his camera to try to capture the stunning colours and I thought I’d share this one with you.

This looks beautiful. Many times the stormy sky is the more spectacular.

@JudyEv I love both sunsets and sunrises. Right now the sun raises after 8 in the morning, very late. In summer you need to get up very early.

That's very true. We haven't had a sky like this for ages.

@lnillerman Sunsets and sunrises can be spectacular can't they? We are not up early enough to see many sunrises.

We have a few nice sunset photos now. Not so many sunrise ones - we don't get up early enough!

At least your rain bearing depressions lead to wonderful scenes like that. If I took a pic during our continual Manchester rain bearing depression there would only be one colour. Grey!!

I know some photos of the UK look like black and white images but there might be a tiny bit of colour somewhere that gives the game away.

The rain started last night and it's continuing today. It is certainly quite a bit cooler.

Wow those are some stunning colors, did he use any sort of filter or are those what you saw with your eyes?

No, this one is just as we saw it. Sometimes he uses a software which gets rid of 'haze' but not with this one. It was a really weird light before the rain started.

@silvermist Thanks. It's not a good title really. I just meant it was a spectacular sunset and worthy of sharing. It sounds like I'm fishing for compliments for Vince but that really wasn't the idea.

@valmnz The concert weather was ideal but I had Vince out of bed early to take down the big stage lights as it was looking like rain again.

@JudyEv It's pretty too. I like the "reflection" aspect. But the other is more "striking."
