"Red Sky at Morning, Sailors Take Warning. Red Sky at Night, Sailors' Delight."
I did not take this photo, although I wish I'd had my camera with me when I got to work today and saw the sky. From November to winter solstice in December, when we have a sunrise like this, Mt. Rainier casts a triangular shadow on the clouds, which is what you see here. I was able to capture this shadow phenomena once several years ago, but the sky in my photo is not nearly as colourful as it is here.

ReplyDeleteBizarrely we have a saying in my part of the UK:
'Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning' Clearly we were all sheep herders at some point in history, while our American cousins took up sailing instead ;0)
Diane - I've always lived on the coast, both on Cape Cod and then out here, so maybe the saying is different in the American heartland.
ReplyDeleteNope it's the same saying in the heartland...Although I don't know why, not a lot of water around here!
