I've put up a small and feeble web page with three of the sunset
photos I took from Lee-on-Solent on the 18th. Sorry it took so long, I
had to work out how to deal with the RAW images I decided to
experiment with!

Many thanks to Bernard (and Dutch TV!) for the initial explanation of
cause - I hope I got it roughly right!

Dave, I certainly would not call that small and feeble. They are brilliant
images, the likes of which you do not get to see very often.
Well Done. Phil

Pretty good! Well worth archiving.

If you can still get IE6, I doubt that you would notice the difference

Yes they were excellent. I wish i could take photos. (Might have more
time to learn stuff next year, now I have decided to ditch the Time
Vulture.)

I believe that these things are not as rare as they appear. The reason
we don't see them more often is that the cloud that is the fabric of
UK skies, the main backdrop, obscures it.

I am almost certain that they are fairly common in Abergele/Rhyl.
There is almost always an haze or thickish mist on the hills between
there and Denbigh moor. And of course far clearer skies to the north.

Which leaves me wondering if there is something in the explanation
that applies to the phenomenon known as the green flash. I've seen it
twice there and come to think of it it was in such weather too.

I must down to the sea again, the crowded, litter strewn sea and the
tide. And all I ask is 3 star luxury and an housekeeper beside. And a
rough sea and a windy spell and no BBC, (you can stuff your damned
graphics and stupid presenters that don't know enough to get in out of
the rain. Taking us all for damned fools. Are you listening?)
