I enjoy photographing sunsets but you never quite know what you are going to get. I have sometimes travelled a way for a sunset pic only to find that it goes down with a whimper. On the other hand when I have decided not to bother and stayed in with a pint, the sky blazes with colour. I regularly run (well what passes for running nowadays) round the fields behind our house and though that if the sky was the main focus of the image that would be a good spot and only 10 minutes walk away. So, last night I went out with 'The Boy' Thomas to see what we could do. Things looked promising with a fair amount of cloud about but cear skies around the horizon. Sadly it didn't quite live up to expectations but I was reasonable pleased with my shots nonetheless. I think 'The Boy' did better though!! We shall try again and it doesn't mean a major expedition. Perhaps the best sunsets are caught by accident like the last one below taken down Loch Alsh in Scotland. We had been visiting friends who were staying in a cottage nearby and when we came out to drive back to the caravan we were presented with this. Happily I had the camera with me. The midges were a different matter!!!
