It was an April morning...

The Icelandic volcano that is temporarily causing havoc for air travellers over Europe - and other countries, it now appears - continues to erupt on the Eyfajallaökull glacier. As a result, airspace over the UK remains closed until at least 1:00pm tomorrow afternoon.

Good weather, clear skies and a low tide coincide to produce the image of boats stranded near the North Haven Yacht Club in Poole Harbour, Dorset, shortly after sunrise, today. I'm ever hopeful that the ash cloud from the aforementioned eruption will produce some unusual atmospheric effects at sunrise and sunset, but as yet the pollution so feared by the aviation industry has yet to manifest itself this far south with any vigor.
