Winter sky

For a while, I thought that we might miss winter here in Bristol.  It has been fairly mild due to warm air pushed up from Africa and Southern Europe.  Out on the river banks I have noticed all the birds going bonkers, chasing each other, singing beautifully and generally behaving like spring is next week.

The other day, winter arrived again, with a cold wind and frost in the morning.  I snapped the photo below one evening, from the loft window.  A proper winter sunset, full of colour and taken in late afternoon, before the children even got home from school.
