Intermezzo #2: sunset in Thorn

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 14 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
Ephesians 4:26

The drawback of posting in series is that when you make a picture not fitting in hte current series, you have to wait till the next series. But if it doesn't fit neither in that one, it remains unposted. So I decided to instert some intermezzi. This one I made in November when visiting my sister in Thorn. Afterwards I read that the type of clouds was quite rare, only occurring under special circumstances, it's called "stratocumulus undulatus" and is quite high, about 3 KM, that's also why its bottom reflects the setting sun so well.

When I saw this picture for the first time I thought: mwahhh... could be better, but the more I see it, the more I like it, now I love it.

Thank you for visiting my p-blog and leaving your comment and advice!

I love the colour which seems a peculiar shade to me but then I'm red-green colour-blind so others will see it possibly quite differently.

Thanks Sithenah. The husband of one of my sisters has the same problem, seems quite a nuisance to me, many things are red because they are intended to warn for something, one has to learn to be aware of it, so e.g. my brother-in-law looks at the place of the traffic light in its case when driving. I hope you visit me from time to time :)
