I love winter skies; heavy clouds full of moisture that refract the light and the depth of the colours. There are inky greys, blues and purples all adding drama and value contrast.
During the shorter days, the sunsets often seem faster and more furious; It's as if, because the day is dying earlier, it somehow has to shout louder, like the end of a great dynasty. The combination of bright gold and deep purple is its ultimate costume; the robes of the day, as it gives up its reign.
