Hurricane Ophelia

Life in the UK has a sepia tint to it today. Hurricane Ophelia has altered the skies above us. The pic of sunrise in the USA today is for benchmarking – & because we need friends & we are all doing our bit to get a good trade deal from our American cousins 🙂 Shhhh…

The others were taken this afternoon.
