Red sky at night, sailor's delight, Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

In the UK and Ireland:
"Red sky at night, shepherd's delight, Red sky in morning, shepherd's warning".
Denmark/Norway:
"Morning red gives wet days, Evening red gives sweet days":
Italian variation:
"Red at night, good weather is hoped, red in the morning bad weather approaches"
A Dutch variation is:
Avondrood, morgen mooi weer aan bood, Ochtendrood, vanavond water in de sloot.

Red Skies At Night ...... * *

Must See LARGE
People were stopping their cars, others came out of their homes.... all stood in wonderment.
Only clear sky here, no smoke or smog... The way the planet is meant to be.
(Now to get rid of the wires n' poles).
