Deeside Spring Sunset

Deeside colourful spring sunset clouds details shapes hilline Aberdeenshire Kincardine O’Neil is some 25 miles west of Aberdeen in North East Scotland. So far this was the first decent colourful sunset of 2020. The most dramatic and vibrant period only lasts a few minutes so it is very much being in the right place at the best time but it helps having a forest or nice river scene on the doorstep but with a major mountain range to the west of Deeside, often the sun setting behind them or a large bank of rain cloud kills off the best of any last minute colour. The biggest problem with sunsets are they can take longer from the start of colourful clouds through to the more subtle final reds but every evening the shapes and nature of the clouds and light is different. This one was taken on the 18th May, 2020 around 9.30pm BST.
