fire in the sky

After working for much of the weekend, and getting up at 5:00 am to be ready for a cruise ship call today, I felt happy just coming home before dark without a pile of work to do.

While I was driving, I was watching the sky. A rain storm had passed through and the wet streets were shining. The setting sun was washing the sky with hues of pink and peach and purple. There was a fine mist rising from the harbour and everywhere a magical light, clouds and sky changing as the day drew to a close. I parked and ran into the house for my camera, and managed to capture the last of the glorious colour as the sun sank behind the horizon.
