The photo below is my photo of the day.
Apparently this red sun phenomenon which is similar to an eclipse is caused by Hurricane Ophelia dragging dust particles from either the Sahara or from forest fires in Portugal and Spain, depending on which reports you believe. Whatever the cause, it is pretty amazing. The force of nature really is quite incredible. It is rather windy outside, it has definitely picked up since I took these photos just over an hour ago. We have hopefully put away all things that could be caught up in winds should they get worse.
It has got eerily dark quite early this afternoon, which reminded me of a piece of music I composed in 2004 for wind quintet called 'Eerie'. I thought I upload it onto my blog, but have discovered the CD that I recorded it onto, must have deteriorated over the last few years, and it is unfortunately all distorted which is a real shame and very disappointing. I hope my other music recordings haven't gone the same way, I will have to find them and have a listen.
Prompt for today: Toffee Apple/s
Weird coloured sky here in Suffolk too. Spooky!
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the loss of your music. The sun was an amazing shot, how strange the day has been and now we have strong winds and rain battering the windows. Hope the storm doesn't affect you too badly, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of CDs deteriorating; not good news.
ReplyDeleteWhen we had all the wildfires burning North of us in summer the sun looked just like that!
That is such a fabulous photo! I know it wasn't easy to get a decent photo so you did brilliantly well! x
