Leith Hill, sunset, looking south
Originally uploaded by tamaranth

On Friday I left a little earlier than usual to look at the sunset. Which this isn't a photo of, as it's the view south, rather than west, from Leith Hill. But it was still and cool and clear, and the planes circling Gatwick left trails of vapour like argyrocomate* meteors.

Not bad for a cameraphone.

(View west posted over on Flickr.)

*Umberto Eco's term. Actually not that accurate, as the vapour-trails were coppery rather than silvery, but never mind.
