Love this, Michael.. that sky is superb!

Thanks Heather. The buildings are a bit rickety. Praise indeed from yourself.

Good grief Michael, you've set a high standard indeed for this project. I'll have a go at it tomorrow, I want to try and fix this other one first.....ha ha....I might have a sniff of the Gin bottle see if that helps, and it is the weekend! Your sky is fantastic, love that dark blue and orange, the old school stands out so well against the back drop of the sky. I'm not sure If I have an orange pastel!

Love the mysterious looking palette Michael brilliant book cover I would say. What Fiona, only a sniff! :))
