  Just about half an hour ago the world down here went a very strange weird lemon colour. You see all kinds of early morning lighting in my lofty position but this morning it was was odd. I tried to capture the essence...
  
  

  

  
  
  Just when taking the shot a rainbow faintly appeared. That pot of gold is moving ever closer to Clarendon..
  
  In a few minutes this unusual light had passed...and all back to normal. The temperatures remain incredibly mild. The pigeons here think its spring and they are billing and cooing non stop...very disconcerting. Puts a chap off his breakfast so it does.

  Fascinating picture.
  Trees in blossom can also be seen in Dover, one group of such trees is next to the post-office collection centre.
  They would usually blossom in Spring

  I'll chip in a couple from the other end of Paul's view. even though the position of the sun was similar this was in early May last year. In all these the clear sky belied the fact the clouds were looking quite heavy over Folkestone.

  Here's another novelty one with blinding colours. You may need sunglasses. I trawled back to 2005 to fetch this one believe it or not. Unusual in that you can see the ferry appears to be blowing the sun out of its funnel like a big balloon. Ive cropped a section of the picture, so picture two is a section of the first picture to show detail. No touching up or any manipulation was employed....all au naturelle!

  Here is another one for the weird colours category. Taken after the sun set last night. Long distance handheld in the near dark and taken with a compact Samsung. Shows Lord Warden House by the light of the dockland floodlights. The sky was very red and the sea a vivid dark blue.
