Rain sweeps in over Coniston Water on an autumnal morning.
Another example of photography in bad weather... seems to be a specialist subject of mine!
Olympus OM-D E-M5 mkII, Olympus 75-300mm lens @ 75mm, f=7.1, 1/200th second, ISO 200. 19 frames (portrait) stitched in lightroom to create one gigantic panoramic!
This is the result when you drive in a tunnel at 80km/h(50mph) while taking a picture with your camera you had set on the dashboard.
I drove through Göta tunnel in Gothenburg(Sweden), which has these cool blue lights in the midsection, 4 times to get this shot. Each run with different aperture. This one was at f8 and 6 secs exposure and captured during the 3rd run.
Looking back up Glen Coiltie as we started walking back up the hill home after a winter wander down to the bridge today.

86237 stands at the stops at Manchester Piccadilly with the Manchester Pullman around 3 years before the Mk2 Pullmans were replaced.
The next block west on 3rd Street is this circa 1855 house. The house was boarded up and the driveway was a bit more cluttered in 2012. Seriously, check out that old view.

Facebook just reminded me it was 3 years ago today we adopted our loopy Lina, who came from Romania originally! We saw her on a website, when we were looking for a rescue dog to adopt and although there were other cute dogs, we kept coming back to this one!
Here she is standing in front of a mirror Tim bought from a charity shop after one of his visits to the hospital!

Feb 3rd, 2017
It's quite weird to see this kind of cloud at the beginning of February. Anyway, looks like today has been the first chase day of 2017 with this "winterly" shelf cloud.
"In March and April the eggs are laid on milkweed plants. They hatch into baby caterpillars, also called the larvae. It takes about four days for the eggs to hatch. Then the baby caterpillar doesn’t do much more than eat the milkweed in order to grow. After about two weeks, the caterpillar will be fully-grown and find a place to attach itself so that it can start the process of metamorphosis. It will attach itself to a stem or a leaf using silk and transform into a chrysalis. Although, from the outside, the 10 days of the chrysalis phase seems to be a time when nothing is happening, it is really a time of rapid change. Within the chrysalis the old body parts of the caterpillar are undergoing a remarkable transformation, called metamorphosis, to become the beautiful parts that make up the butterfly that will emerge. The monarch butterfly will emerge from the pupa and fly away, feeding on flowers and just enjoying the short life it has left, which is only about two to six weeks. This first generation monarch butterfly will then die after laying eggs for generation number two.
The second generation of monarch butterflies is born in May and June, and then the third generation will be born in July and August. These monarch butterflies will go through exactly the same four stage life cycle as the first generation did, dying two to six weeks after it becomes a beautiful monarch butterfly.
The fourth generation of monarch butterflies is a little bit different than the first three generations. The fourth generation is born in September and October and goes through exactly the same process as the first, second and third generations except for one part. The fourth generation of monarch butterflies does not die after two to six weeks. Instead, this generation of monarch butterflies migrates to warmer climates like Mexico and California and will live for six to eight months until it is time to start the whole process over again.
It's truly amazing how the four generations of monarch butterflies works out so that the monarch population can continue to live on throughout the years."
This old building is I think part of Ace Hardware but I've wanted to sketch it for ages. Something cool about it.

The snow stopped falling for a spell so I popped the drone up to get a view up the glen towards Meal Fuar-mhonaidh, a landscape that is being threatened by industrial overdevelopment in the name of pumped hydro, a technology that is really past it's sell by date with the development of other options that can be constructed nearer the locations that the power is required. Loch Ness and it's surrounding area is being hammered by these schemes all designed to store power for the South East of England at the expense of our more wild places... and it's not just the odd development here and there... and it's not even just Loch Ness (although we bear the brunt of it), the whole Highland landscape is under threat.
Post Office Sorting Van (POS) 80337 at Wansford, 3rd May 2009.
Vehicle History
80337 was built in 1969 at York to lot 30779. It has been fitted in preservation with equipment for the transfer of mail bags whilst on the move. Whilst the design of the vehicle caters for this equipment by the time 80337 was built its use had been discontinued and I doubt it was ever fitted in BR service. It is fitted with B5 bogies and is dual braked and has dual heating.
I only paid about $30. The rest is free stuff and prizes.
Because of some of the comments, I feel that saying this is necessary:
None of this is for trade!
International Day of People with a Disability - handicrafts made by disabled people in Agios Nikolaos
Nottingham City Transport (NCT) is one of the largest remaining municipal bus companies and is regarded as one of the best operators in the UK. In the early 1960’s City of Nottingham Transport as it was then developed a very strong corporate identity with an attractive “two tone” green livery and its own distinct standard double deck bus body specification for rear engined, front loading buses. The initial purchase of rear engined buses was a batch of forty nine Daimler Fleetliner’s in 1962/63. It then moved on to the Leyland Atlantean chassis and over the next four years would purchase ninty nine chassis fitted with either Northern Counties or Metro-Cammell bodies to the Nottingham specification. Through out this period NCT operated a dual sourcing policy and continued also to purchase Daimler Fleetline chassis and with the spread of one man operation purchased in 1966 thirty Daimler Fleetline CRG6LX chassis fitted with Metro-Cammell H45/27D bodies with one set of doors at the front for entering and one set of doors in the middle for exiting. It would be 1968 before the first dual door Leyland Atlantean arrived when a batch of twenty two (501 – 522) Leyland Atlantean PDR1A/1 chassis fitted with Northern Counties H45/29D bodies appeared. 520 (PTO 520G) is one of this batch and can be seen here on Long Row, Nottingham, 3rd June 1981.
