As Dromia said, yesterday was the shortest day of the year, spring is just around the corner

Very nice pics
On a sky related topic I have just been having a ciggy on the backyard and being quite high up (compared to surrounding countryside) I can see the Welsh mountains and I noticed flashes of lightning in the distance and had a look on a lightning strike website and it turns out they are around 75 miles away on the Welsh coast around the Lleyn Peninsula!.

With sunrise after 9am and sunset after 3pm then at best you get 6 hours of daylight up here at this time of the year.
Cloud at dawn and dusk can shorten that.

To be honest, we thought Dromia got a bit gloomy in 1333 and hasn't brightened up since...
