And to prove that I am truly an old fart, some other pics taken around the same date.
And finally………the Red Shed!
I think I witnessed the “Terminator” going to Paphos last year, I knew it looked pretty special when I saw it but I thought it just was a normal sunset.
Think of it more as “night rise” than sunset, as it moves up to the overhead from the eastern horizon. As for thunderstorms, this is my best night attempt so far…….
Going to request a right sided seat
Sunsets can be wonderful
Indeed, almost biblical
However, don’t be too upset if you end up on the left side, because the sight of the Terminator (and I’m not talking Arnie here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_%28solar%29 the border between night and day) is equally ravishing, and far more subtle. Starting with a darkening of the eastern horizon
Then rapidly sweeping up to overhead
Then its gone…quite quick, don’t miss it. No matter how many times I’ve seen it (far too many, usually signifies another long night pedalling hard down to the Eastern Med), it never fails to remind me of the opening lines of a Richard Thompson song…
“Night comes in, like some cool river,
How can there be, be another day”
They can occur on a very large scale.
Pic 1 over the Sierra Nevada east of AGP. Pics 2 & 3 a huge lenticular forming in standing waves over the Pyrennes.
Takes a lot to beat a good CB though……..
I can’t see these either, having had a quick look through some other threads it seems to be photos that are posted as thumbnails.
Trying a different approach….
