Possible spectacular sunset in the UK

[Donald]

As a result of the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland that has closed UK airspace (and in a number of other European countries), I've read that there may a 'one-off' spectacular sunset this evening (Thursday)- not really something to celebrate in the circumstances.

It seems that it is now unlikely that UK airspace will be opened at 0700 (UK) tomorrow (Friday). Chaos reigns!

I blame the Tories (Sorry, world. We've got a general election campaign on at the moment, for our next parliament and, resulting from that, our next government).

[carregwen]

I blame the Tories

and I blame Colin (?)

Sunset; it is already dark here and has been all day.

Open your curtains.

[arith]

Yep; brighter now with yellow and blue grey cloud.

"I blame the Tories (Sorry, world. We've got a general election campaign on at the moment, for our next parliament and, resulting from that, our next government)."

And here's proof!

Yep; brighter now with yellow and blue grey cloud.

And the Lord sayeth "Let there be light. And behold, there was light."

Until the dust storm arrives

Might be worth getting up early though, given the weather forecast which is normally wrong but who knows.

Definately a 'whinging POMS riding into the sunset' thread ... now I am in de deepe **** But I looooved the Radio Times insert
Must watch the great debate tonight

Well, I do think one of you miserable buggers could have TOLD me!!!

Tell me something... what is Gordon and Dave's policy on UK speed cameras? It may influence my vote... My main election concern

Just loved that one Rob ... will keep that link.
(Bit of a pong up here but I don't think it comes from Wales 'cause the wind comes from the north ... wonder what it could be?)

I'd take an educated guess and say it's the smell of bad feelings. Iceland ain't too happy about us demanding our bank deposits back.

I blame the Tories

I blame Sauron...the reek or Mordor is brewing

Is Sauron a Tory?...of course he is he goes under the pseudonym of Tony Blair.

There were still a few of the Cheshire set buzzing over from Barton Aerodrome this afternoon. Is the aviation ban a blanket ban or does it not apply to those who shop at Albright-Bianchi

That is Jezzer in a Dalek costume...has to be

I'm really surprised that no one has started a thread along the lines of "Will this dust storm cause a problem for my sensor?" 'Dust elephants' I think, not 'dust bunnies'.

Don't change lenses for a few days.

I've read that there may a 'one-off' spectacular sunset

We had a similar "one-off meteorlogical (sp?) event" here in New Zealand a few years ago due to volcanic ash from an eruption in Chile ... I got this out of it:

Apparently the problem's at about 30,000+ feet. So, I think you can take the risk of changing a lens over the weekend.

ps: There was no spectacular sunset in Glenfarg. Bo-hoo!

I might give it a go..
