18th October - Red Sky by Morning, Shepherd's Warning

 Summer has passed us by and once again the days are shorter and the sky takes on some incredible colours as a low sun rises with a background of cloud.

There have been some wonderful sun rises around Four Marks over the last week, but this morning with still twenty minutes to go before the official sun rise beat them all.  The sky turned a vivid red as the clouds produced a break around the horizon.  

Here looking to the north east

But the light was changing the sky all over, here the view to the west, not as vivid, more of a pastel shade

Then almost as quickly as it arrived the cloud closed the gaps in the sky and the colour immediately washed out and around the time the sun should have been rising the sky was a monochromatic grey.
