Ha! A "Veeline", instead of a "Beeline".

my copy has noticeably yellowed lately. I had trouble editing some of the yellow out.

Nice shot dave but may I enquire if that was Ophelia's orange sky syndrome or just a normal sunset.

I've just checked the dates and it looks like it was the night before Ophelia, so it's possible that there was already Saharan dust in the air causing a more intense sky than we usually get. Sunset here is rarely more than a delicate pink, except for a handful of exceptional evenings now and then, and I never artificially boost the saturation as a point of principle. If you search for Dartmoor on Flickr you'll see thousands of photos of blazing red skies, and 99.9% of them are fake. Drives me mad when I was out on the moor myself at the same time and I KNOW that the sky wasn't really anything like that.

End of rant (I know you weren't suggesting that I'd boosted the saturation. I always over-react about that subject because I detest the amount of fakery that goes on in modern digital photography).

Ophelia was very mild here compared to what you got in Ireland. I hope you and yours came through it all unscathed.

Ophelia's orange sky syndrome

Here in London we had a rather eerie darkened orange sky and blood-red sun, courtesy of the "sahara sands" pulled up from the south by Ophelia. I took this mid-afternoon snap of the sun, sky and some flying leaves pretending to be vampire bats with a Super-Takumar 85/1.9



...and with the same lens, here's a more conventional sky with the sand in Southern England firmly on the ground...

Your Ophelia sky is pretty much how it looked from my office window, near Swindon. Our cloud looked thicker.
