It's a nice picture Richie, but, you either needed a polarising filter to make more of the sky, or cropped it a bit closer as the proportions aren't striking enough in my view, however these things are subjective :smt102

Cheers Mark.

'twas a Virgin balloon & all the kit on a trailer ready for a quick getaway.
The quick getaway happened overnight, but some of the kit was found a couple of days later.Probably looked a shade too hot!
The vehicle is a blue Land Rover Defender 110, registration W243 UBH, which had an 18ft Ifor Williams tri-axle trailer attached.
Two inflation fans also remain missing, if anyone is offered such items for sale, please contact police. per N.Yorks Finest
