Extra - Mystique

Cleeve Hill, Cheltenham, Glos. view map

An extra today - we went up to Cleeve Hill tonight to see if the sunset was full of volcanic Icelandic dust - not sure if it was, but it was a cracker all the same...

Who needs to go abroad. You could sell holidays for Cheltenham with that shot Doug. Voted.

Maybe Mystique, certainly, but a FANTASTIC silhouette in the sunset !

An awesome view & quite mysteriously thick with something that is most probably the dust.

Great sunset, enhanced surly by an supernatural force! Great mood in here! You created a wonderful illusion! V.

Looks like the kind of sunsets we get after dust storms or bush fires. Great colours here. Well done.

Absolutely marvelous. The gradations of orange to gray to black are superb, as are the composition, the silhouette and the sense of mystery. V

Wow! Wonderful... I doubt about the effect of the volcanic dust...I think it's more your skills to see and chose such a great composition :-) v
