Amazing Volcanic Ash Red Sunset Photos

Volcanic ash from the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano spread quickly across the UK sky, turning our normally lame sunsets an unusual dark red hue, a sight not seen in this country since the Krakatoa eruption of 1883. The above photo perfectly illustrates the massive difference that the volcanic ash made to our skies. Or at least it would do if I had taken this photo in April but unfortunately for the official narrative I took this picture in January, well before the eruption and subsequent phony ash cloud story.

I was enjoying the sky being clear of jet aircraft so much that I didn't doubt the official story until the Daily Mail had to overdo it and publish this on the 16th of April. Spectacular-sunsets-blue-moons-dirty-cars--volcano In which they describe the spectacular red sunsets seen all across the UK on the previous night. That was the moment when I started to have some serious doubts because I had been out looking at these wonderful skies, clear of jets alright, but the one remarkable thing about the sky and the sunsets was how blue they had been.

Below is a panoramic picture, stitched together from photos taken on the evening of the 16th of April of a spread of about 180 degrees. As you might be able to see, the sky is very blue, with a little hint of yellow at the bottom. If anyone is interested in sunsets you may have noticed how often all the really colourful stuff happens after the sun has gone down.



It is typical of the UK's weather not to play ball. Usually at this time of year it should be cloudy and rainy, with the odd bit of red sunset, but right across the whole period the skies were abnormally clear and blue. How very inconvenient, but it doesn't stop the Daily Mail printing a really bullshit story and thus alerting anyone with eyes that something was amiss with the official version. Thanks Daily Mail!

The dangerous ash cloud lingers on somehow and air traffic is still affected in the north sometimes even though when I looked at this site www.sat24.com at the appropriate time the cloud was vaguely blowing in our direction but still looked a long way away. Other nice satellite photos can be found here Dundee Satellite Receiving Station but you do have to sign up a bit.

In the above blue sunset photo we did have a little discussion about the nature of the small cloud to the very right. Bonfire of some sort? Starlings flocking perhaps? No, I remembered that my charming assistant of the evening, Miss Boo, had been sat on the bench next to me puffing a nice big cigarette. Mystery solved. I also learned that just because I like a story and find the effects agreeable it doesn't always make it right either.
