Clouds, sea & sky - sunrise to sunset

I see a promising sky from home - gather up my camera and make the walk to the beach. This is the sort of thing I hope for - but all too often the sun sinks behind a solid mass of cloud.

Cycling on a deserted seafront , while England played Sweden. The couple in the distance were, I think, foreign students or tourists, probably not interested in England's or Sweden's fortunes!

Pastel sky and a peaceful sea, as the evening crossing from Dieppe to Newhaven nears its end.

As with many of my albums, this lot appear on my charity greetings cards. There are several people who select these on a regular basis and are always on the look out for what one of them calls 'moody skies'.

Some weird cloud formations moving at different speeds!

The sky from our garden. I have no doubt that the sunset over the sea was lovely, but one can't always hang around down there on the off-chance of a nice sky full of fluffy pink clouds. I am not that brilliant at forecasting when a good lightshow is in the offing.

I woke up to find the bedroom curtains glowing red & took this shot from the front door. I then went to throw some clothes on, to go around the corner, where there is a view to the east, of Seaford Head, but when I next looked, there was just the palest of pink tinges to the sky - so I didn't rush to get dressed! Unusually for my uploads, this one is straight out of the camera - it hasn't been anywhere near Photoshop Elements. You can see that from the leaning lamp-post to the left - no perspective correction!

Untampered with - apart from the caption! Not actually in my road but almost there.
