I really like this picture.

Of course, it doesn't show the other half-to-two-thirds of the sky, which is probably clear-ish, and much of the haze and fog is pre-existing and has nothing to do with the fire, and it looks like it was taken at the time of evening/afternoon when everything is going to look a bit dark and hazy anyway. But such a pretty, dark picture.

I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to get a train yesterday morning: I missed one hell of a photograph! Picture a suburban street, red brick, pavements and a road slick with melted frost. In the centre of the frame, a white limestone church glowing in pale winter sunlight, with the steeple bisecting a sky that is itself divided in two: halfway up the steeple, the sky changes from icy blue to a glowering grey-black cloud stretching from horizon to horizon.

I noticed nothing on the train journey up to Leicester, and had no idea of the news until I was asked about it in the afternoon.

I like it --- one of the keys to good photography is it doesn't necessarily show what is, but what the photographer perceives. Generally done with lots of cropping.

It was awfully dark here in Reading today. The clouds that would normally be there were a nasty brown colour.

All it needs now is the bat-signal illuminating the clouds in the distance, and a speech-bubble coming from the guy on the left saying, "Quick, Robin! To the Batmobile!"
