Yes, a pleasant location,Richard - it's a golf course but at that time no golfers but it's also public land and they don't mix too well,we had Ben the dog up there one day and a golf ball went inches past my wife's head (hit by a 14 year old out with his 'fun golf' playing family - we didn't go again and in the local paper this weekend a lady wrote in who had been hit in the chin with a sliced shot and the golfers just carried on, so, as they say 'something should be done about it' one ot the other but not both.
All a bit disappointing ,Martin. I think people were expecting skies like they have been after some of the other worldwide volcanoes.Turner's famous paintings and Rembrandts for instance which featured the multicoloured skies showed the world what Krakatoa (1883) did for sunsets.
Here's what Turner saw
