Same here. So good I went down to the seafront so I could see more of it.

We had one last night and fog up north. It was Force 8- 9 in Sennen, which
probably explains your colourful sunset.

Dust in the atmosphere, you mean?

Do you ever see a 'green flash'? In the winter down here, the sun sets
over a sea horizon and is frequently brilliantly coloured, and perhaps
two or three times a year we will get a green flash.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash if you've not heard of it
before. It's extremely short lived; a fraction of a second. Blink and
you miss it!

Oh you are SO going to regret asking me that. ;-) I've seen 3. Once
in the Iles de Chausey, once in Hawaii and once on the one and only
cruise we've done, in the Caribbean. On the latter, I got a small
group lined up on the rail waiting for it. They'd never heard of it
and were very sceptical and I said "just watch, don't blink, don't move
a muscle, keep deathly stil and focus on the horizon as the sun goes
into itl" and there was a loud "YAY" at the end from those who saw it
and a "Wot, wot" from those who blinked. ;-)
I've only seen it on absolutely totally, flat calm evenings at sea.
Even the faintest chop or swell seems to spoil the chances.

A green flash I missed was when traveling by plane. The pilot
announced "did you all see that?" and went on to explain what it was.
The general comments from passengers, including me, was "what is he
talking about" as nobody had seen a thing. I've discovered since that
the green flash can occurs when the sun "sets" behind clouds.

Well, as it's over in a nano-second I'm not surprised nobodt saw it.
It trult is 'blink and you'll miss it'. It's the absolutely precise
second the last tiny sliver of the sun's disc slides into the sea.
I've never seen it happen behind clouds but only on the clearest of
days.

We had a similar sunset last night, this morning it is cold and foggy,
visibility is not good up here. I am going off to Clermont now and
I'm hoping that the fog will clear a bit when I get down the mountain.

We had a lightish frost last night and today we have the sort of
weather you should have! It's absolutely still, very bright and
brilliant sunshine - gorgeous.

Salt.

Ah yes, it would be. I remember seeing absolutely astounding sunsets
on a Caribbean sailing holiday in 1978. A volcano had erupted
somewhere - can't remember which or where - and the dust in the
atmosphere produced real glory for the onlooker.
