Default "Breaking News" - Blue sky spotted in UK!

Last Wednesday, went to Old Moor RSPB Reserve near Barnsley. When you see a sight in England that is blue sky, you just have to take a picture cos it may be a long time before you see it again!

Rare blue English sky

Love the shot of the sky through the reeds. Thanks for sharing.

As a Brit, I don't believe it! But I suppose it's there in full color.......unless you've done some clever Photoshop edits!

Hi Paul - at least you can see blue sky there ... I haven't see the sky nor the sun here in over a week .. I think we set a record for the wettest October ... great capture

Very pretty. I like the way the sun is reflecting of the stalks. Great shot. Its quite an unusual photo. I would never have thought it was taken in the UK!

Hi Paul,
Lovely image, really like the complexity of the reeds, just seems to be so much to look at. Love the colors and lighting, well done.
David.

Nice capture. I like the golden sunlight on the stalks. And sun? up North? Can't believe it!

Wish I was that clever Sox. Don't have any PP, but Christmas is coming...??? But trust me, it WAS blue sky. Cheers. PAUL

Cheers Mike. In fact it has been predicted, but if the Almighty decides to disagree with the weather man, I know who will win. Have a great weekend my friend. PAUL
