Red Skies at Night

Peering out the window as we tucked the little people in earlier this evening, I noticed another colorful sky shaping up in beautiful, suburban London. I guess all that pollution has an upside.

So I grabbed the digicam - again - and ventured beyond the backyard for another non-film shooting experience. No, I can't tell you when this bizarre optical experimentation of mine will end.

The results reminded me of a song, Red Skies at Night, from one of my favorite seminal '80s bands, The Fixx . Unlike most songs from that era, this one has aged wonderfully.

So as I let that song settle into the recesses of your musical brain, here's the result of my bedtime tangent. Looks like this one's a sailors' delight.

    What a beautiful photograph! Sunsets and sunrises produce such a variety of colours they never cease to amaze me, there is something magical about the sky at these times.

    I remember as a child I was told a saying;

    "Red sky at night, shepherds delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning".

    I always think of this saying when I see a red sky, it's meant to predict the weather for the day/next day!

    Sorry for the bad 80s musical trip. It wasn't intentional. Not much, anyway :)

    Seriously, sometimes it's just a hoot to zip back in time. Nostalgia is a wonderful way of reliving the things we enjoyed without having to experience the seaweed as well. It's almost as if memories get cleansed as the years go on. I can live with that.
