Failed Venus transit

Ok, so I got up early to try and see the Venus transit from sunrise. As you can see in the photo it was a bit cloudy at the horizon and clear sky above. Actually if the photo had shown more above me it would've shown a completely clear sky above my head. Unfortunately the Sun is not above my head at sunrise. The clouds moved from North to South which meant the Sun was behind the clouds pretty much the whole time. It was also too windy to project the Sun onto a piece of white paper. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Truth is I should've been more prepared and gotten a piece of welder glass or some "eclipse glasses" so I at least could've seen the transit in the gaps between the clouds, but hey, only 105 years until next time. I'm sure I will have been able to prepare for it by then...

Yes I know there are a lot of trees in the way in the photo, but I was on my way back from a big open field (a.k.a. a golf course) when I took it.

Photos of the sky

One thing that I like to take photos of is the sky. Not just the night sky. Also not just sunsets even if a sunset can be very beautiful. After I've taken photos of the sky I usually use Canon's Digital Photo Professional program to edit the RAW files. Sometimes the result becomes amazing and sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on if I overdo it or not.
Here's a few examples of sky photos that I have edited like that. The left side is the unedited and the right side is the edited.

Here's an example of when the sunset looks that colourful even without the help of photo editing software.
