Intermission 26a hello spring

As winter recedes we have belatedly had some brighter weather. Often you get decent amounts of winter sun in Yorkshire but this time round it’s been distinctly dark skied.

A cloudy sunrise yet too often it’s been just cloud
A rare full winter sunset
There have been some interesting colours to be seen
Only an occasional frost – it’s been cold but often dry or just wet and cold but not freezing
The ice was quickly melting as the sun rose
One of the late winter dust clouds from north Africa or the equatorial Atlantic
There have been a few blue pink sunsets
In contrast washed out golden sun contrasts with grey cloud
