Dingo5162 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Here in my home town of Adelaide, South Australia we are just getting over a hot spell of around 36-38 degrees C, BUT each night we have been treated to a spectacular display of red sky at night and as the saying goes "Red sky at night saliors delight Red sky in the morning saliors warning" quite frankly after being a salior for 30 odd years I'm still trying to work that out as I've never sailed at night from port although I've been out out night. Anyway getting back to wot this is all about I took this photo the other night with a simple Kodak easy shot camera that belongs to my neighbour and I think it turned out fairly good. What is your opinion: Also this was shot in the Eastern sky. Dingo Edited January 29, 2012 by Dingo5162
sports850 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Nice shot Dingo , I'm north of Coffs Harbour and we've been having the opposite , blood red sunrises and torrential rain
Dr. Cranky Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 When I was a kid I used to love clouds to see if I could spot animals in them. That's a nice shot indeed.
62rebel Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 red sky at night i.e. westward at nightfall, at least in the Northern hemisphere, usually indicates that any storms, etc, had passed and the morning should break clear. red sky in the morning; i.e. eastward at daybreak, usually means you're in for a rough day at sea. at least from what the navy told me, and from being a Northern hemisphere Atlantic sailor. we're currently enjoying a rather nice spell, it's been 15-20 degrees above seasonal norm for the last three weeks or more. of course, we still have two good months where we could be wearing longjohns and coats. the electric/gas company hasn't made a profit off me this winter....
diymirage Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 38 degrees celcius? shoot, i'd settle for 38 degrees farenheit we had to shovel out through a foot of snow here its times like these i remember how thankfull i am for the charger, that car is unstopable
Green Duster Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Nice pic! I'm with Eelco. We had a high today of 18 degrees F. By the middle of the week they say maybe getting up to 34 degrees F. You lucky dog!
crazyjim Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 More reasons that I'm happy we moved to Florida. It was sunny and about 75 today.
Junkman Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Move to England and the Eastern sky will always look like this: The Northern, Western, and Southern, too.
Junkman Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Hay Christian, did you just take that shot TODAY ? Or is it off the net ?,...Anyway, NICE SHOT DUDE ..very nostalgic my Friend. Ian Nah, today was more like this: This is what it's like when it's not raining.

crazyjim Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 But it was only 39 this morning. I had to put on 3 layers of clothes. Maybe I should have put on sock & shoes but I like filp-flops better.
Harry P. Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 But it was only 39 this morning. Hilarious! Around here, 39 degrees in January is a heat wave! Speaking of which... tomorrow is supposed to be 55!

Dingo5162 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Hey guys thanks for all U'r replies it was great to read all about U'r temps in the States, we are now at around 26 degrees C and loving it if U'r wondering and kinda think I hate the heat U'r right I'd rather be with U guys in the cold or cool 12 to 20 degrees C is more my liking also when it does nudge 38c here that's when it's pushing the 100f mark and late last summer 2010 we did for one week have 38 to 42 degrees C and man we cooked but now my wife and I can cpe as we got ourselves a decent air con for our bedroom which is also nice and quiet, anyway my friends again thanks for answering and hope U all warm up soon. Dingo
