Thank You:)! That was my meaning :)  and as I love The English language -although it is not my mother’s tonque- I just wonder how common these kind of expressions are ? and from where these sayings come from ? At least there are some - which are of course more common in the coastal areas of England compared to Midlands:)?

of course evening makes more sense! a red night would be an awful thing (too many large fires recently), but it rhymes better!

Here’s one evening photo to inspire - or help to memorize more- I get the feeling that that there are not that many expressions as there are photos:):) - we’ll see:)

The idea behind the sayings is very ancient. It is even in the Bible, Matthew chapter 16, verses 2 and 3: "When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering."

Thank You Trivette, I'm sure that many other similar sayings date back to Bible and - true that is written, and used among people who have knowledge of the verses.
