If you're taking photos on your phone, set the White Balance to Daylight, otherwise it'll look very boring indeed.

In the Christian tradition, it is said that the end of the world will be marked by a terrifying and all-encompassing darkness. Across the gospels, Christ advises his followers of the signs of the end days, warning that the sun will darken, the moon will fail to give light, and the stars will fall from heaven. These prophecies are echoed in Revelation, the final book of the Bible, in which the opening of the sixth seal on doomsday prompts a great earthquake and leads to the sun becoming ‘black as sackcloth’ (Revelation 6. 12)

A very orange sky here in Cambs. It's like someone's stuck a Cokin warming filter over everything!!

African dust carried by the Storm apparently.

A bit windy out, nearly got blown into a hedge in Essex.

Blue sky’s in Brum. Breezy, and all the cars are now grubby(er).

Please tell me it's not the end of the world!! I filled the car up yesterday! I'd have only stuck a tenner in, if I'd have known.

Any advice for camera WB settings for when the sun is as black as sackcloth? I guess I'll need to set shutter speed to 'bulb' for starters??

I can confirm this is not a lie....and also that it seems to have confused the wildlife as a pheasant tried to roost on my* wing mirror as I barrelled along at near speed limit velocity

*obviously today was the day I borrowed Mrs R's car and have redecorated the side of it with equal measures of gamebird, glass sprinkles and shattered plastic

Dark here in west London, deep brown/yellow sky. The air is gritty, and its actually a little uncomfortable to breath.

I thought it was going to be heralded by Trump/Pence?

Love the pie chart! Glorious blue sky and that ball of fire is well and truly back outside the window. Just had a wander across site and it's windy as **** with various bits of building paraphernalia blowing about though. Neighbours of the site will no doubt be whining in the morning.

In Brighton it went from a normal dull day to so dark all the street lights and solar garden lights came on in the space of 15 mins at about 3pm... I went to see bladerunner at imax last night and thought I'd been transported to that opening scene I even had the ominous soundtrack playing in my head actually got a little panicky the sun had died or something!

There was an apocalyptic red sun here.
I assumed this was the norm in Swindon.

That photo up there of Aberdeen very similar to Dundee (not a great surprise).
Was a bit odd going out for lunch in what may as well have been night time.

Very strange sky this morning down at Royal Portbury Dock, with the deep red sun so high in the sky, when it’s usually on the horizon looking like that. It wasn’t until around 3pm up in Wolverhampton that the sky cleared and the sun came out in a nice blue sky.
Bloody windy back down at Avonmouth an hour or so later, though, and it’s still blowing loudly around the chimney.

My 7 y.o. grandson and I have a little chant:

Red sky at night -shepherd's pie.
Red sky in the morning - lasagne!

I think it was fish & chips today.

man the sky was flipping awesome where i was (cycling devizes/trowbridge/melksham in wiltshire).

it was like something out of a sci fi film 8)

blood red sun and an orange glow in the sky,i was expecting either machinery to start going on a killing spree,or people suddenly turning into zombies/crazy folk.

a bit worrying though as salisbuy plain isn't far away (james herbet the fog 😯

edit this was my first bike ride of any distance for over a year due to a certain ailment that makes sitting on a saddle a bad idea shall we say. so i am over the moon that i can finally ride my bike again 😀

Today was a real shitty day for me, my depression was the worst it's been in a long while. Today felt like the first day of winter.
