Eight of the best. (Edited)

Eight out of 26 photo's taken last night of the sunset. I went to Home Bargains to stock up on cat food, it was 8pm when I came out. I thought there might be a nice sunset and it might be a good idea to hang about while it developed. I drove around looking for a good viewpoint. There is a lane at the back of the Industrial Estate. 
I sat in my car and watched it, waiting for the moment. In my line of vision is a Power Station, belching forth steam from the cooling towers. It drifted in the breeze for a short distance then disappeared. A heavy dark cloud hung low over the sun making it even more dramatic. I tried different positions and zoomed in a bit.
At 5.30pm today. A different picture.


The background is fuzzy as it focussed on the pylon and turbines. 


Getting darker now. 


I walked past this spot today, it was 5.30pm. What a difference three hours make. 


I rang the camera shop this morning and the nice man talked me through how to alter the settings. I hope the videos will load much quicker now. 
I finished the green floral bag this morning, the one I showed on the video. Now I am going out for a walk. I got caught in a massive thunderstorm yesterday. Thunder, lightening, hailstones, the lot. It was quite exciting. 
Thanks for popping in, Toodle pip.  ilona

  5. Love the photos Ilona. I was wondering what cat food you buy at Home Bargains? I have been buying the Webbox naturals for mine from there but seems to upset his stomach. Any recommendations welcome.

    1. Hello Pat. I haven't tried the Webbox. I get Whiskas, As Good as it Looks, Sheba, and Felix. Any or all of those. I get dry Whiskas, dry Perfect Fit, or any other better ones, (not cheap dry). Cats are so fussy it's a matter of trial and error.

    2. Yes my cat is 12 and only recently have foods not been agreeing with him, perhaps a trip to the vet is in order. Thank you Ilona.
