Sunset tonight?
Do you think with all this volcanic ash in the atmosphere we'll be getting a good sunset tonight?
Camera at the ready just in case!

It's possible I guess.
I know all Scotlan'd airports are closed because of it.

No sunset here at all.
I hear tomorrow will be better as there will be more ash over us.

Fingers crossed we got sights like these:

Meanwhile skywatchers can look forward to stunning light displays as the ash spreads high in the atmosphere.
Robin Scagell, of the UK's Society for Popular Astronomy, said today: 'Be ready to enjoy some dazzling arrays of colours especially purples and reds looking much stronger than usual.
'The most amazing sunsets I've ever seen were in Australia after the El Chichon volcano went off in Mexico in 1982. The sky turned an intense purple and even the moon turned blue.
'We may also see a phenomenon called a Bishop's Ring - a huge brown or blue halo around the sun that was first noticed when the Krakatoa volcano exploded in 1883.
'So if it is clear, go out and enjoy some stunning natural light shows.'
In 2004, art experts suggested that the vivid skies painted in Edvard Munch's famous painting The Scream were a record of the effects of the Krakatoa eruption in Java half-way around the world in Norway in 1883.
Munch said at the time: 'Suddenly the sky turned blood red. I stood there shaking with fear and felt an endless scream passing through nature.'

It was very impressive here this morning - then I realised our next door neighbour was having a bonfire.

LOL @ Phil!
Our local news have been showing people's photos of last night's stunning sunset. Don't know where ours was!
