I've just had the most bizarre 24 hours you could ever imagine. Wonderful highs, frustrating lows, great friendship and rank dishonesty. We've also had numerous power cuts on my estate all day, so computer access has literally been on/off. 

I'd run out of opportunities and ideas for a Daily, then long after sunset I was driving back towards town and saw this. The long exposure has exaggerated the colours, but it isn't far from the reality. The orange glow isn't caused by the sunset, but by the lights of the city, and in particular the floodlights on the Cathedral, playing on the low wispy clouds. You get this effect from miles away, but I've never tried to photograph it before. It is a noisy image, but much better than I expected. Venus and several stars are visible. The white light streak is traffic on the Lincoln by-pass. The camera was sitting on the car roof :)

Tomorrow is manic Friday, but it can't be as mad as today, can it?
