I was wondering whether you'd manage to get that, events conspired against me last night so I'm glad you did.  It looks wonderful, especially the Ashen light and perfectly framed.  What a wonderful shot.

I was really lucky to catch it - I fell asleep sitting on the sofa in the early evening (I was so tired after 2 nights at Kelling Heath).  I woke up after 9pm, it was getting pretty dark - I  just grabbed my camera and made a dash for the garden.  I got a few shots in just before Mercury sank behind a shrub!

Just happened to be in the right place at the right time, Mark, falling asleep with a camera in your hand, just your luck. 

Deja vu.................
