sunsets and not so sunsets

Sun sets come and go , first time I've been to the local where i live for some time had one pint and came home a 5 minute walk on the way back looks at the sky and  thought its going to be one of those nights so went in grabbed my camera bag and off up the fields ,set up and there it was 

over looking Alport heights rom Ripley one of my favourite spots

 Just two shots thats all i had the chance to take but enjoyed it

 The following night it was with the Derby tog squad at Elavaston castle organised by Dave Vowles,

 Wasn't a great sky but it was still a great night meeting the crowd ,great people 

   Elvaston castle ,famous for Women in love starring Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson  and Derby born Alan Bates , written by D.H.lawrence  , in fact i was working there when it was being filmed , i was working for the Derby corporation as street paver , and did meet the stars of the film 

 the Elvaston castle lake , full of wild life as we saw and heard while we where down there 

 there wasn't much of a sun set ,but the togs made up for it , 

 thanks all for a great night
