Hi,
As some of you might have heard a volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent high altitude ash in our-ish direction.
On the radio thay are saying it might make for some nicely coloured sunsets, keep an eye out for them

I have to say I didnt notice all that much out of the ordinary regarding the sunset this evening, the ash cloud is supposed to be heading our way tomorrow, we'll see.
Nice pics there Michael.

Very nice shots there Mike!

No unusual sunset so far.
Maybe this evening...we'll see.
It's noticably quiet here in Shannon.
I've become immune to the sound.
The lack of rumbles is very odd indeed!

Last night around 21:10hrs, I noticed that I couldn't spot Mercury visually and that Venus twinkled a lot - something it is not inclined to do as it is so bright.

By the way, nice pair of shots Michael!
