On my way home yesterday from Derby and saw these amazing layered clouds. Looking north east from the bridge over the A50 in Aston on Trent towards Shardlow and beyond.

It is a seven shot panorama, the cam in portrait orientation, Photomerged in Adobe Photoshop CS4.


This photograph was taken just after the ones above, I like the way the tree is illuminated, the sun is getting low down even at 13:20hrs and casting a long shadow. The tree has no life of its own, however it is giving support to the ivy growing around the trunk. Interesting clouds again shown in this capture.

This was lunch today, no cooking at this place tonight, we won't go into the reasons why. The aperitif is tomato juice which has become a staple for me, as no alcohol is to pass between my lips.

The egg needs to be runny, this takes me back to my toolmaking days when one of my workmates, Gordon, was telling me that if his wife cooked him an egg and the yolk was hard he would flip it off his plate onto the table cloth. How horrible is that eh?

So underneath the runny egg is a delicious 10oz gammon steak, chips and a salad smothered in salad cream of the 57 varieties type, as is the tomato sauce. You know what I mean don't you.

This repaste was partaken at the Woof and Quack in Shardow.
