A heron at sunset

Another cold but snowless day.
Nipped up to Gyles Quay just as the sun was setting,
Was all alone apart from this heron.

a vibrant moment at the seashore..

To you it's sunset, to me that sky looks a bit more like Armageddon. But of course that adds a nice touch of drama to it. I like the presence of the flying bird right in the colour transition zone; it's where it makes a presence felt better than it would have in any other part of the sky.
I'm guessing that you didn't have Fudge with you (or he was on leash) otherwise this would have been a shot of a heron doing an emergency takeoff, and a huge splash of water with a blonde tail sticking up out of it on the left. (Now THAT would have been drama...)
