Holy shit but it’s beautiful right now in Cork. I wish I had a working camera.

    “The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes” to quote Elliot. The rain is after coming in hard and fast here but before it did there was a very low cloudline, almost like a fog descending and wrapping itself around the hills and buildings but the sun was setting too and so the whole sky turned a golden colour. It really was quite beautiful. Generally you’d get the kind of reddish sunsets or the kind of tangerine or burning coal red colour sunsets but tonight we experienced a yellow gold colour. It was in a way like a Monet painting towards the twilight of his career.

    I was out tonight near Fitzgerald’s Park and got a few shots of the sunset, but I think not what you saw. There’s be other nights!

    I had taken a picture of the orange sky as the rain poured down before I saw this post. It was an amazing sight, wish I had something else to put in the picture with it but the back garden isn’t that picturesque!
