    Evening All,
    We've had some spectacular skies over here in Suffolk recently. Last eve was amazing but tonight was on another level.... the colors were brighter in person. 20220202_170155.jpg 20220202_170217.jpg 20220202_165957.jpg 20220202_170011.jpg 20220202_170233.jpg 20220202_170217.jpg

    @podbros, weather difference from East to N West not strange at all, just par for the course. Conditions can differ across a distance of just a few miles over here! If you want to share some sunrise pics, go for it.

    @ColinG, I had to pull over, on the way back to a job after picking something up from the workshop. Seemed like every colour 'under the sun' was getting involved!!

    Thank you. The fourth and sixth were Sunrises the rest Sunsets, and I don't know what happened to the duplicated first one - pressing too many buttons I expect.

    Ah well - the caravan, that was 71 yrs ago, and hired for a week or two at Thorpe Bay Camping site (long gone), close by Shoeburyness.
    Circa 1950, I would have been 3yrs old. It was called 'Cosy Nook' and hired from a Mrs. Duggan who owned it. Strange how some things stick in your head.

    True for Lancashire this week.

    When skies weren’t overcast, last year sometime (!), Leeds & Liverpool canal providing the reflection.
