I’ve been prompted to update the blog, and fortunately the sky has smiled favourably. Here’s tonight’s sky, one of the last from this vantage point in Edinburgh…

A cloudy year – but what happened to cloudysky…?

Well, I’m back and here is a look at the year gone by, in clouds.

Firstly, November 2008 and this spectacular skyscape. 19th November at around 4.30pm, looking out towards Barclay Church spire.

Too many clouds?

Is it a case of be careful what you wish for? This year has been a cloudysky year. The result is far too many pictures for this small blog to cope with!

Anyway, here are two recent skies to restart the catalogue. Taken in Edinburgh over the festival.
