The cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland which has been wreaking havoc with the air traffic throughout Europe has reached us as well this morning. For once the sky belonged to the birds again.
I can't say for sure whether the sky looked any different than usual as I hardly had any opportunity to see the clear sky in ages. There were clouds today, too, but there was also some pale azure in between, perhaps paler than it would have been normally. What I do know is that the sunset looked pretty.

Well I guess today would be a good day to cover your breathing passages
You don't want those ashes in your lungs.I guess Iceland can't fine people for lighting fires can she for pollution reasons. lol
That is just a stunning photo. Breathtaking if you ask me :) I hope all that volcanic ash subsides and soon. It must be a mess over there :)
Yeah, the ashes in Hawaii often made for beautiful sunset. It was hard for me to enjoy them though since I was usually choking and crying, too!
lady - well, i thought volcanic ash would be self-explanatory but it doesn't seem to be the case. an erupting volcano in iceland spits lava and volumes of ash into the atmosphere and the ash is directly affecting most of the european air space so most of the air traffic has been stalled.
thom - why thank you. :) a completely different scene today,though
quilly - well, this one's too high in the atmosphere to directly affect us on the ground but it's causing no less trouble...
