Sunset time last Thursday. There in the sky was a large, puffy, bruise-coloured cloud, washed at the edges with a soft copper tint. As it swelled, it briefly developed brilliant aquamarine edges which had disappeared by the time I’d fetched my camera.
We watched from the window, we watched from the roof terrace. Then I grabbed Daughter Number 1 who was staying for a few days, and we marched up the hill together to the square outside the Church to watch the spectacle from there. Here it is.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Spectacular and slightly sinister.

It was indeed. I felt I should have been directing the film crew in a suspenseful horror movie.

Yes, it was a bit like the imminent arrival of Armageddon. Very worrying.

It’s amazing when the clouds captures the shadows and colors of a sunset. It’s been clear the last few sunsets (or completely cloudy) and there has been little color on the sky. Beautiful.

Sunsets are wonderful wherever you live, when they arrive in style, aren’t they?

Indeed. It finally became a muddy purple, but my pictures of that weren’t so dramatic.

Amazing – as a sci-fi fan these shots look like a visit from another world is about to happen!
