Red Sky

Description


There was a spectacular sunset last night over Port Orford during a low tide! The reds were nothing short of incredible. "Morning red gives wet days, Evening red gives sweet days". That’s the Norwegian version of “Red sky at night, sailors delight….”. A rather nice variation... I'd say.

Quote of the Day: "When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and louring." From Matthew XVI, The Wyclif Bible, 1395
