Sunsets are difficult to forecast , particularly after several months of indifferent weather in this part of the world ! However , as an eternal optimist , and because a few clouds were gathering in the western sky , I ventured forth to a site near my home . A few bits of colour appeared in the sky , but things did not look very promising and I was about to call it a day when this scene materialised about 10 minutes after sunset. It lasted about 5 minutes , and I had to be quick to try and catch a little of its magic.
