A bad day for shepherds (291/365)

There was an astonishing red-gold sunrise this morning.

A pink and gold sunrise with deep blue above it and low buildings and street lights below.

I'd just got off the bus on the Banbury Road (which runs north-south), and spotted the sky along one of the side roads. So I nipped down between M&S and the Co-op and took photos across the car park and the University office buildings there.

True to form, by lunchtime it was tipping down and I didn't get a lunchtime walk, although I did manage to avoid getting rained on on my way home (by which point I was so tired that after a brief spell of trying to rewrite Hamlet's soliloquy to reflect the experience of a person wondering if a 2B bus was going to turn up or not* my brain started trying to generate random puns based on food and Russian novelists, but could only come up with Boris PastaSnack).

It really was an extra-ordinary sunrise wasn't it? Sadly I took my picture from my bed and it's not quite as impressive!
