I'm a hopeless photographer but the other night the sky was so dramatic I decided to take a picture. The spectacle only lasted just over a minute before it dropped to the horizon. Not too bad a snap and it hasn't been touched up in any way, mainly because I don't have Photoshop and I can't use Gimp because it's too complicated!

Nice photo subrosa but i cant see Tannadice or Dens park!!
Spook yer supposed to be admiring the sky in this photo. Tannadice and Dens Park are a few miles away and I don't see them from my garden, not even if I stood on the shed roof.
On another subject
I told you so, oh yes I did.
It is so bloody obvious

My version!
Morning Faux Cu, you're on form this morning! I couldn't improve on your version at all and I fully endorse it :)
Aye I saw that article about Brown trying to look like Obama. Sad isn't it. He should have cleaned up his appearance years ago. I'm of the old school thinking that they way you dress either compliments or insults others. Mind you, I'm possibly more insulting these days :)
Do you like my sunrise? 32000 feet over Norway, winter, 2004!
Ah that's where is it Oldrightie, I knew it was somewhere north and you had your head in the clouds:) It's very beautiful.
The sunrise here is always so fast really and it was pure luck I got this one. I just happened to go into the sitooterie for something and there it was. I'm very proud of it because my usual standard is chopping people's heads or legs off.
Lovely photo, subrosa, is that what you call the gloaming?
If you look very carefully between the two tall trees in the middle you can see Niko sitting on a bench with his camera trained on the sitooterie.
Oh brownlie, you are awful but I like you!
I can see one of the Tannadice floodlights from my window ;-)
Where roughly was the photo taken, Subrosa, did you once say you didn't live in the Dundee City Council area?
Stuart it's taken in semi-rural east Perthshire and from my garden.
As a child I used to live at the top end of Dens Road in a top flat Stuart (2 bedrooms and a living room, bathroom and scullery). From the living room window you could see Dens Park and Tannadice (of course Dens Park was the place then) and on very cold Saturdays or if someone didn't feel well enough to stand for the 90 minutes, our living room window was fully booked on a rotational basis.
Was a wonderful atmosphere I remember.
Semi-rural east Perthshire?
Sounds a lot posher than Dens Road ;-)
Stuart, 83 Dens Road was posh when built back in the 50s. The flats belonged to Shepherd the factor. Now the exterior is covered with satellite dishes and looks run down.
I didn't work myself silly to end up back in Dens Road Stuart and when I returned to Scotland I had no wish to live in Dundee. It had lost any atmosphere for me so I arrived where I am by default really. Grateful I am too :)
