"Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds." - 'Venus and Adonis' (1593) by William Shakespeare
...or perhaps the somewhat more common "Red sky in morning, sailor's warning".
Regardless of whether these warnings hold true or not, I know for certain that Landscape Photographers LOVE to see these skies morning or night! ......but only if we have a camera with us. When without a camera, skies like this just make us grumpy! ;) - Russell
