... sailor's delight
red sky in morning... sailor take warning
I collect postcards... every time I travel I seek the pleasure of finding these early examples of photography and printmaking.
Recently I started to notice a common feature in my postcards, regardless of where they were made in the world - a red sky.
I wonder if the time of day is early morning or late afternoon - which time of day is more picturesque?
Or is this red sky purely for the delight of the lithographers, a way to add colour to an otherwise verdant landscape?
Here are some of my red sky postcards, which made it into a print exchange I participated in recently.
