Sunsets

We had been waiting for the sunset to come round behind the Isle of Frogs. In midsummer it sets north of Crook Peak, in midwinter it sets over the Quantocks in the south. We were waiting for the sunset to swing round behind the Isle of Frogs but we completely missed it this year, the setting sun has already moved round to Exmoor. Still, this rather dramatic October sunset was worth grabbing - that's clearly the outline of Dunkery Hill, not a bad effort for a digital camera.

Masters of aerial combat in the insect world. The engineering is absolutely superb, just look at all that complex surface.
