Living in Eastbourne, I am lucky enough to have the famous cliffs at the end of the South Downs close by; the panoramic views they afford are ideal for watching sunrises and sunsets, which are frequently rendered even more beautiful by dramatic coastal clouds. On Sunday 18th January I was driving back from a visit to the beach further east at Normans Bay, when I noticed a break opening up in the blanket of cloud to the west. Instead of heading home I made the short detour up to Beachy Head, where I was treated to this wonderfully picturesque celestial scene.
Best regards and clear skies, Oli

Oli,
This is a beautiful atmospheric capture on Venus and Mercury after sunset.
The clouds do add atmosphere and interest.
Love it.

That’s a masterpiece Oli, two sisters up the seven other ones,…
I like the landscape where something from our planet is in the view, here the clouds enhance the beauty of your image.
