About 10.45am, with the sun shining through a layer of altocumulus stratiformis. You can just make out a sundog (circled) and some colour to the top left of the sun, part of a halo.
Bands of altocumulus tinted by the setting sun.
Altocumulus lit from underneath, very dramatic.
Taken from outside the village, looking west.
From the same vantage point, facing north west.
Back in the village, a layer of mist crept across the playing field.

There was a lot going on in the sky this afternoon, some of it colourful. In one direction (to the north east), a faint rainbow. In the opposite direction, a sundog.

You can just see the base of the rainbow near the house in the first picture, in the edge of some receding nimbostratus. The sundog wasn't very bright either.
