Sunsets of any bold hue have been in short supply this summer, being mainly bland but very pretty pastel colours. I waited until the evening of the 31st to see if there would be an improvement and even drove to the other side of the valley to take advantage of a west facing viewpoint. Thick cloud cover looked as though it may spoil any attempt until I was on the return journey and took several photos from a point further up the hill than I took this one, [ link ]

There is the feel of an eruption of color as if someone had turned a spotlight on the clouds.

Hello David


Well they say every cloud has a silver lining, well here the lining is golden. Beautiful pastel shades and a lovely golden tone between the clouds. The weather never plays ball when we want something particular does it!


Thank you for posting
and for joining in with the theme
kind regards Helen
