By way of contrast with Monday's stormy seas image, it was quite serene last night:

Whoa Blimey Kelvin could you find a bigger image to post i can't quite see that one

Stunning shot Cedmonson the composition on that one is ace.
I love the way the land and sea int he foreground mimic the clouds and patch of blue in reverse.

That's a stunning sky, plenty of impact

Thanks for the comments.

@Philaitmen - I won't try to take much credit for composition here. What worked was more a lucky fluke than anything else

I'd hoped for a sunset, but it clouded over and I set off in the car to do some shopping. Suddenly the sun emerged & I had a few minutes to head for the nearest 'backdrop' I could find. I barely had time to get my camera on the tripod and snap away before it was all over. I had thoughts of getting down to the shore to find some foreground detail, but in hindsight I think this gave a better perspective anyway?

Here's another taken 5 minutes earlier (but I prefer the other one):
