People locally have been remarking on the spectacular colours of recent sunrises and sunsets. With the sun now skirting the southern horizon we, in our house, looking southeast, can now sit comfortably indoors and watch both sunsets and sunrises - and as if to make a point, this morning's sunrise was even more colourful than earlier efforts.
These pictures were taken from our breakfast table over a 20-minute period this morning, looking out across the Moray Firth. That the process was so bloody is supposed to mean a shepherd's warning but the day has turned out cold, and damp, but fine.
So if it wasn't a warning to shepherds, then for whom was this sunrise a warning? Perhaps it was to all of us, for after breakfast I sat and read an article in the
New Scientist which described the precipitate melting of the sea ice round Antarctica, so dire that a special conference had been called which met in Tasmania to discuss the implications of what appears, now, to be a runaway process.
