It looks like we’ve seen the last of the crisp, cold clear days on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I took this sunset photograph at Miracle Beach earlier this week while we still had some clear skies. Since then the weather has continued to be cold, with temperatures regularly below 0° C at night but the days are a few degrees milder and the winter clouds have returned. 60% chance of flurries this weekend. Don’t put your woollies away yet!

And thinking about skies, weather, and climate change, consider finding a 350.org candlelight vigil this Friday or Saturday and making your voice heard by the decision makers in Copenhagen. It’s worth the effort and you might just meet a few friendly folks who appreciate our planet’s skies just as much as you do.
