A Lifebuoy Saves Lives

A lifebuoy on a pole with the water of Malaga Harbour behind it just after the sun has set.

The waters of Malaga harbour are quiet, but there are many people walking around as the sun sets over the city. A lifebuoy could be the difference between life and death.

A Panoramic Sunrise

The good weather is well and truly gone now, so here’s a sunrise from a few days ago to remind you what the sky above the grey clouds and rain looks like. 🙂

Sunrise on a Cloudy Day

The sun rises behind a hill, lighting up the clouds above and making a silhouette of the trees in the foreground.

The heatwave has broken today, but it’s still quite warm at 18C, but the rain is back. It’s like it never left!

The threatened thunderstorms never materialised in Blarney but the sky is cloudy and produced a lovely sunrise this morning around 7am. The sun rising behind the hills east of Blarney lit up the clouds with lovely warm light.

Sunrise This Morning

Just before the sun rose this morning it lit up the clouds on the horizon, while deeper clouds remained almost grey but with patches of purple.

Just before the sun rose this morning, it shone on the underside of clouds on the horizon, creating a lovely glow I could see from my home office window.

That after sun glow

The orange, red and yellow glow in the sky after the sun has set is caused by the sun shining on the underside of high altitude cloud. It's reflected in the water and the land is in shadow.

I went to the reservoir in Inniscarra yesterday evening to capture the sunset. It had been a glorious day and I saw there would be a smattering of cloud at sunset, which might make for a dramatic picture.

As it happened, there was cloud, but it was mostly at the horizon in a thick, impenetrable bank. The sun set several minutes too early, with barely a glimmer of yellow, but twenty minutes later I was treated to a spectacular display of colour.

AFAIK, it’s caused by the sun shining through the atmosphere at the underside of high altitude clouds on the horizon. If you use the mobile app, Clear Outside, look for high altitude cloud. If there’s a lot of it, and not much low cloud, you’ll probably have a nice sunset. 🙂
