From the time I was a small child I've often heard people expounding the meteorological wisdoms of shepherds and sailors in the form of a short rhyme. After all for shepherds and sailors their very lives or livelihoods depend on favorable weather.
The rhyme would go something like this..."Red sky in the morning sailors (or shepherds) warning.
Red sky at night sailors (or shepherds) delight".
The first week of August 2005 I had the pleasure of camping for a whole week by a beautiful Connecticut lake. For nearly every morning of this week we were treated to the most magnificent fiery sunrises, as you can see in the photos below, and they were all followed by delightfully sunny days in which not one drop of rain fell! Therefore, I'm forced to conclude that sailors and shepherds know Jack !#** about the weather!
The colors in these photos have not been enhanced with photo-editing software and are as they came straight from the camera.
