This is the first part of the weather-lore rhyme:
Red sky at night; shepherd's delight,
Red sky in the morning; shepherd's warning...
The 'red sky at night' rhyme is more than an old wives' tale though and has some meteorological foundation - in England at least.
Sometimes the phrase involves sailors rather than shepherds - both have a more than usual interest in the weather!
The end of a beautiful day, saturated with fresh air, warm sun, visual joy and lots of good photography.
We had to drive fast from Padstow to get the sun in the right place, we were 'the original sunset-chasers', tee hee.
We made it in time, of course I have the 'by the second' disappearance of the sun into the sea, however it was the other beauty surrounding it that interested me most!
Like this afterglow, that panoply of stunning colours.
No time wasted to bring my tripod, so, just found myself a spot to sit, rested my elbows on my knees and held my breath...
I hope you get as much pleasure out of them as I do, M, (*_*)

The statue of Constantine, the emperor who brought Christianity to the Roman masses, stands (or rather sits) outside York Minster on a blustery winter's night.
L’écorce
Oh mon vieil ami parle moi encore
Guide mes pensées comme autrefois
Que renaissent tes feuilles rouge et or
Pour que je m’enracine dans ta loi
Oh mon vieil ami je m’accroche à tes branches
J’implore ta sagesse et ta pitié sans honte
Pour moi l’heure n’est plus à la revanche
Ta sève nourricière d’une jouvence j’affronte
La caresse dure de l’écorce
Sonne le temps du divorce...
The new Lego gargoyle reminded me of Scree from the game Primal and I also thought that my Lego Constantine would have some dealings with him. So I created this image where John is getting information on exchange for a crystal.

Aww..I'm so happy..I managed to buy Soom Arkose - Morivala of Death in light violet skin.
Although I had to sell two dolls of my collecitons. I love him so much even without face up.
I'm still not sure about the name. Constantine sounds good, but it's pretty long :D What do you think?
The Arco di Costantino is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill.
Though dedicated to Constantine, much of the decorative material is a collage of earlier work from the time of the emperors Trajan (98–117), Hadrian (117–138) and Marcus Aurelius (161–180).
The Arch of Constantine (315 AD) is typical of triumphant Imperial Roman architecture. This colossal gate stands between Colosseum and Roman Forum.
Large fragments from the Collosus of Constantine(circa 313-324 AD) are along one wall of the interior courtyard of the Palazzo dei Conservatori.
The arm, head, knee, and hand sections that can be seen here are of sculptured white marble. This huge (40 feet/12 metres tall) statue of Constantine seated on a throne was originally in the Basilica of Maxentius, just east of the Roman Forum. (See: flic.kr/p/2mTyKsk)
Constantine, was emperor from 306 to 337. He was a pagan when he first became emperor but converted and became the first Christian emperor.

The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great. The arch was commissioned by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312. Situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill, the arch spans the Via Triumphalis, the route taken by victorious military leaders when they entered the city in a triumphal procession. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch, with overall dimensions of 21 m (69 ft) high, 25.9 m (85 ft) wide and 7.4 m (24 ft) deep. It has three bays, the central one being 11.5 m (38 ft) high and 6.5 m (21 ft) wide and the laterals 7.4 m (24 ft) by 3.4 m (11 ft) each. The arch is constructed of brick-faced concrete covered in marble.. . The three bay design with detached columns was first used for the Arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum (which stands at the end of the triumph route) and repeated in several other arches now lost.. . Though dedicated to Constantine, much of the sculptural decoration consists of reliefs and statues removed from earlier triumphal monuments dedicated to Trajan (98–117), Hadrian (117–138) and Marcus Aurelius (161–180), with the portrait heads replaced with his own.
