Did anyone else notice the crazy good skies (in Sydney) over the weekend - these were taken handheld at sunset - the first from my house and the second from the school just up the road.

This is when you wish you were at a great landscape/seascape location so you could include something interesting to go with the sky

Missed them all! There will be another day....

It was only briefly on Sat evening (6-6:30) and your theory sounds good - lets hope so

According to loose statistics from Newcastle (when I could actually observe each sunrise and sunset), I reckon great sunrise happens at least every 2 months. Amazing one every 4 months.

Very nice but at my age every sunrise is great

That's a great attitude.

crazy sky all up the coast on the weekend, crazy enough to dump bonker sized hail stones on me car

Keep those images for the day when you need to blend in a different sky

I have a small repository of cloud images but can't remember when I did a sky transplant last....Many many months ago.

Yeah... a number of people have suggested similar (not this sky in particular but the concept of switching skies in some of my images). I'm not exactly sure why but I'm kinda opposed to the whole switch the sky thing (for myself only - I'm not ethically opposed to it so I'm completely happy for others to do it). I'm happy to do all sorts of PP and cloning out all manner of things small or big - so maybe that's it - my line in the sand as it were - I'm happy to take things out but not necessarily to put things in which weren't there? ... or I could be cynical and just say it's because I don't necessarily have the technical PS skill to blend the new sky in properly
