    Tried that. I think I was too late, because there was enough ambient light that silohetting (boy, my fingers don't want to type that word) didn't work too well. And I was freezing my little toes off too much to play with manual settings! Like you said, a dime a dozen! Pretty rare in New England this time of year though, it would seem. Either total overcast, or not at all, so it's rare when the clouds catch the red light of the sunrise. :-D Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

      sailor's delight. Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning. Gorgeous sunrise this morning! Though it's impossible to get a decent picture, what with all the telephone poles and low lying buildings in the way. :(( Marc Help!

        Here's a trick: Don't go to bed before the sunrise. It's sometimes easier than waking-up :)

No sunset, no sunrise, not even noon day sun. No wonder the tube is plastered with big sunny shots of South Of France or Sunny Spain or hIp Ibiza.

                      One guy I work with has a Porsche (Bastard!) and seems to regularly take Ferraris and other sports cars for test drives (son-of-a...) can you tell I'm a little envious ;)

                          No, no, no, you got it wrong. I was not referring to London, rather to the common sickness among programmers (late workshifts, night working). But I feel for the Londoners too. Its not nice.
