Nice pics!

Thanks. Incredible what a handy little camera built into a cell phone can do.

I suppose that your experience proves the old wives tale: "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's take warning."

Very often so. There can always be exceptions, but if the weather is clear to the horizon where the sun is setting, there's a good chance you're gonna have good weather at least for part of the next day. 8)
 
My Dad used to implore this axiom:

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

And, did you know that's Scriptural? (Matt. 16: 2 &3)

Early red sky in the morning is suppose to mean a calm day ahead - not good for sails - Red sky at night usually means a blustery morning - as told by my grandpa.
