Our room was on the first floor. We looked down onto a lawn dwarfed by this very big and spreading willow. It has to be drastically pruned every four years as it is too well fed by underground springs. Behind it is the main road from which you can neither see nor enter the hotel it. Hence the lack of a photograph of it.
The same, at night.
On Friday evening I watched the sun set and took a number of photographs marking its development. It peaked with this blinding effect...
...and then settled down with this glorious colour. The smoke is from one of the chimneys of the distant power station. It drifted up and then broke away, forming different patterns as it did so.
Coming down the street to the hotel the previous evening we saw the black clouds and an electric storm. Unfortunately I was unable to capture the scene as it had stopped by the time I had got the camera out and ready - as ever!
