That would make a superb publicity poster for an alpine conference on South Island!

My field trips---- collage

Cheers dave

There seem to be an awful lot of images there that we haven't seen yet, Dave ... I understand now ... the collage is just a taster for a prolonged super-posting?   :D :D

I can't remember seeing so many fiery skies in this part of the world ... three images taken this evening ... once again the colours are enhanced by flash, but not to a great extent.

Cliff,
wonderful photos and colors. The red color of sunset is caused by plenty of dust particles in the air. >:(
Is there any heavy industry or agriculture around where you live?


Many thanks Armin,
We are up on the moors overlooking the town of Rochdale (once a thriving industrial area that has experienced a sharp decline in fortunes and output over the last three decades) in an area of heath and quite desolate (but strangely beautiful) moorland.  Little agriculture of note but an abundance of (dusty?  :D) hill sheep.  These impressive skies are quite rare and a recent phenomenon.

Cliff,
likely it is "the" phenomena of worldwide spanning pollution belt in the NH.  ???  >:(
I saw similar spectacular red coloured sunsets here.
Best wishes
Armin

Here's a pic of the ivy on the basalt dike behind the marine station at Millport on the Island of Great Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde. I was there until yesterday with a group of senior pupils.
