I've mentioned before that J.M.W. Turner was one of my favorite artists. It started many many moons ago when I read the book "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins. The cover on the paperback book was part of the Turner painting "The Fighting Temeraire". The right half of the picture with the stone and the setting sun was used as the book's cover.
My photo above from September 2016 reminded me of the skies that Turner would paint that looked as if they were on fire.

Welcome back. Such a lovely sky.
That's beautiful. My copy of The Moonstone had a very plain, boring cover.
