Out all day but pouring with rain anyway.  Back home late afternoon and some forecast clearer periods actually arrived!  Single frame taken with Lunt 60 DS, Olympus E-M10, 500 asa, 1/80 sec, taken at 6.49 pm.   No real noteworthy prominences,

Nice detail Paul despite the lack of proms

Good catch Paul, the forecast clear sky still hasn't reached here although CO are hedging their bets by forecasting clear skies and rain at the same time

Good to get a shot in when it seem the elements are against you.

[Pete Presland]

Many thanks Pete.  I must admit, I was rather chuffed.

Many thanks Michael.  The sun was certainly in short supply today.
