Mackerel Sky by andycoleborn

Mackerel Sky

Bit of a fishy sky this evening... Took this, often photographed tree, near to home this evening. It's a quiet river side path but I was hoping for a passer-by so a bit lucky these kids on bikes came wizzing through...

You may think this is an ELT but it's a lie... just right of shot is another... Still, as it looks all alone, I'll add a tag.. :-)

Finally, pulled my finger out and hit the gym this evening.. Thought as it's less than 6 weeks to my holiday, I'd better get a move on...

And other news.... London (and much of southern England) is officially in a drought situation it was announced today...!!!! And who says it always rains in England ;-)
Lovely colors there.

super stuff Andy, always ;like a bit of mackerel in the sky!
February 20th, 2012  
oh I love this sky Andy - never heard of the term Mackerel sky, but it's such a great description ! I heard the news about the South-East of England offically having a drought...I had friends over from Canada at the weekend, and told them when it was raining on Saturday that I'd not seen any rain for weeks !

@sparkle cloudless & brrrrrrrrrrrrrr cold here...

@sharonaddison funny yeah as only thought that myself on Sat... Bit of snow but no rain for ages...
February 20th, 2012  
@andycoleborn I heard something strange on TV, and I may be remembering it wrong, but 10 inches of snow, will only make 1 inch of water...so guessing that is why we're in a drought scenario !

Lovely shot. We used to say, "Mackerel sky, mackerel sky. Never long wet and never long dry."
February 20th, 2012  
very pretty.. nice shot!
February 20th, 2012  
Great shot and amazed to hear you're in drought. Australia at the present time has too much water. Its meant to be the other way around.

the bikes really add something to the shot. Like the saying mackerel sky....it really does look like fishy scales
