Skies over Sale turned yellow and pink this morning giving a surreal start to the week.
The sky became a deep brown and orange, and the sun turned red – or disappeared behind the swirls of sand in the sky.
Our headline photo was taken at 9 am this morning as the sky began to turn orange, after what had been a clear sunny start to the day.
Gaynor Kendall from Sale Moor, took this beautifully eerie picture yesterday. She said: “It was taken with my little Nikon digital camera I just happened to have it with me.” Great framing Gaynor.
Meanwhile we have escaped the worse of the tail of ex-Hurricane Ophelia, although there remains a yellow weather warning in place until midnight tonight for high winds in the Greater Manchester area.
Sadly Ophelia has so far caused three deaths in Ireland which has had the storm travelling over it for the last 24 hours.
