That's really spectacular. Do you realize we've picked up 10 minutes of evening light since the solstice? Sun setting here on the East Coast at 4:56 PM!

That's stunning Tink - sorry I missed that yesterday.

We say "red sky at night, shepherds' delight; red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning."

At least in my part of the States, Angie, we say "sailor's delight". etc. Odd, come to think of it, as we were never as big a seafaring people as the British in the old sailing ship days... ??
