Sunset Clouds From 10 Oct 2008

[Andy Bown]

I also took some photos yesterday, the sky was simply too beautiful to not take advantage and go for a sunset walk and enjoy a free colour show provided by various types of cirrus, cirrocumulus and altocumulus! I hope you enjoy looking at them.

1 and 2. These shots could be joined together if I was clever enough!

3. Low sun making the Autumn colours stand out

4. As one sets another rises

5. This was my favourite part of the sunset, amazing to have different colours at different levels

6 and 7. This altocumulus changed colour in about 5 minutes

8. Darkness advances, the deep blue is remarkable.

I return the compliment with your pics, Andy! So much rotation and sheering going on with those first couple of clouds. Gorgeous. No. 1 my favourite.

Excellent pictures Andy! What a spectacle it was, there were loads of lenticulars around late in the evening. I think we both had quite a similar sunset.
