The sun is setting and painting the clouds to the east in a dramatic way

The sun is setting over Skiathos Town, and sitting on the Bourtzi we have a lovely view over the old harbour and Skiathos Town.

Over London the Sahara sand whipped up by recent storms turned the sun orange and the afternoon really dark.

Caught this striking sun halo at a local beach yesterday. It was so bright I had to bracket several exposures, 1/640 f.22 (ISO 250) being the best.

Apparently it arises from a very thin layer of cirrus cloud made up of ice crystals. The cloud can be so thin it may hardly be visible. As it passes in front of the sun the ice crystals cause the light to refract, causing a halo to form.

That concludes today’s meteorology lesson!

Very many thanks to everyone who has message me about my eye. I'm just trying to get out and forget about it ...thank heavens I can still use the camera.

As the sun sets on another Flickr page....

Sadly, I have decided to stop using Flickr. Today will be my last post. I make this decision reluctantly as I love my hobby and enjoy making my (almost) daily posts. It was a very hard choice for me but I am doing it mainly because of the new rules that will be put into place this January by Flickr.

I thank all of those who followed me through these past few years and appreciate the time everyone has given to viewing, liking or commenting on my work. We had a great little community and I even made a few friends along the way.

Enjoy the upcoming holiday season, my Flickr friends. Wishing you all the best!

And I remember being younger, and my mother told me truth

Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you

Take heed when things get hard and don't you ever turn around

You'll find someone, someday, somewhere

That'll grow you to the clouds, oh

And you walked me home that evening when I could barely walk

And you spoke to me so sweetly on the days I couldn't talk

And now I'm seeing clearly and I'm growing up so free

Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me
