Sitting watching tv at 5 when i noticed the room had turned red - looked out and saw Planet Krypton on the horizon. The sunrise was best i ever saw and I see them all the time, being a night owl.
I even try to take photos but my camera skills are poor.

This morning was awesome. Will try and post a few pics later - hope my camera caught 50 percent of what I saw before I nearly went blind looking at it? large architectural cloud covered it in an awesome way? Greens, blues, reds, oranges? mental.

my cooking skills are poor - the only tip i have is watch what you are cooking.

i do like to add garlic paste to boiling spuds in the pot. subtle taste.

i did try to make fondant potatoes once - they came out well. ytube video showed it all being done.

This must be the day Zorro, all the signs are there. I've had my lucky Tin Foil Hat on since I got up. Fingers crossed for the Rapture.

uploaded some images to betfair - to clear still? - it only captured the reds? all the other colours are not there. my camera exposure settings are primitive. there was a brilliant powder blue, bleached out and pale yellows. touches of green.

i thought about adjusting the hues, but it looked phony? left the images as they were.

a good camera guy might have caught what was there. I've reduced the EV on my camera to -2?
if it comes up like that again I'll see if I get better shots.

Classic tune...

Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercury's and Subaru's
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars

could you get the houses more in focus zorro, was that a nice bungalow in the first photo?
By:

i expected a comment on the sunrise, not on a roof? It's not a bungalow, its a council house, three bedrooms with front and back garden.

ah, that's a pity its very difficult to get a bungalow now, they seem to have stopped building them.

your image of the sunrise is very beautiful zorro, and then again even a grey wet street has something dreamy and consoling about it.

that is something you could paint.

the top ones look better because of ev -2 setting on my camera, they are video captures. If I had set my camera right yesterday, all the colours would be there that I saw. It was like a parrots tail. But all i caught was oranges? was not prepared to capture it. I'll look online and see if someone caught it? I'm lousy at painting skys. You need to keep doing it to be good.

found that dog photo - made me laugh, imagining what the dog was thinking as he looked at the sun.

He was probably thinking he would like to paint the sunrise.
