Smiling Sun

There was a lot to smile about yesterday - it was Friday, a summer's day and a weekend of sunshine lay ahead.

This extraordinary image like clipart is just one more thing to be cheerful about.

The photograph, which has gone viral on the internet, shows clouds passing in front of the sun - creating what appears to be a smiley face.

Little is known about the Pictures, which was first posted on Reddit six days ago and has been doing the rounds on blogs and websites ever since.

It is not clear where it was taken, or whether the sun is rising or setting.

But as it sits low on the horizon, it fills the sky with light the colour of a rosé wine - the thought of which is, of course, gave yet another reason for a smile.
