Similar to ones I didn’t want to see when sailing Mandy, looked like a ‘bruise’, not a good omen, hope it ‘panned out’ ok for you :slightly_smiling_face:

It was so beautiful Bill. Today has been glorious.

Time we ad a good Stormy Sky,
or not
:thinking:

I saw skies like this, last night… 24th June… blood red clouds/streaks all across the sky from the west… fabulous… and I thought of “shepherd’s delight” and wondered what that meant… :thinking::thinking:

It’s not going to rain straight away🌦. Red sky is caused by sunlight retracting off dust particles high in the atmosphere, moisture condenses around the dust to make rain.

I have never yet taken what I consider to be a good photo of the moon, lack of enough mm on focal length is probably the fundamental issue (this taken on a EOS 550D with a EFS 18-200mm zoom at 200mm, 3200 ISO 1/640 and F13; possibly not the best lens for the shot and it mighht be improved by lowering the ISO and opening the lens a bit as there is a lot of noise).

It is recognisable, anyway and - as I plan on making it my last post for a while a suitable (temporary) swansong.
