The Clam Bidge is the oldest of the three bridges in Wycoller. It is made from a single slab of Millstone grit stone. It has small holes along one side where a handrail support was fitted. The bridge is beleved to over a thousand years old and now it is a scheduled ancient monument.
In May 1989 after a cloudburst higher up on Boulsorth hill, a flash flood in the river swept away the bridge. The slab was cracked in two, but was repaired and re-fitted. it has been swept awy twice since in 1990 and 1991.
Self indulgence warning, stoked to have this picture featured in Februray 2017's Outdoor Photography Mag (UK)

Every sunset is different, because every day; sun
is different, clouds are different, space is different,
reflections are different....mountains are different,
fogs are different, and above all, we are different.
― Mehmet Murat ildan
Sunsets are proof; that no matter what
happens...every day can end beautifully.

I made my way down to the South Yuba River the other day. While I was driving to the river, clouds were rapidly gathering. By the time I made it to this spot on the river I knew that I wouldn't be staying very long. I grabbed a couple of shots and headed back to my vehicle. Before I left the parking lot it had started to hail then quickly turned to snow. It was an interesting drive back home.

Despite a very successful blue hour shoot, I decided to go back to the desert after 10 because they just kept coming. Until well after 2 AM. These were very fast moving storms, with sporadic areas lighting up. It was tough to keep a bearing in the darkness but with two cameras in full bulb mode, I managed to capture a few epic night shots. Los Lunas, New Mexico USA
And no, the horizon is not crooked. That's the slope of this part of the mesa.

All points west - An intense, but brief, burst of colour at sunset at Neist Point, looking out across the Minch.
Dramatic conditions thrown up by the ever changing typical Skye weather. Moments after this was taken, the headland and lighthouse were barely visible such was the ferocity of the downpour that came in across the Minch. Incredibly, barely a drop of rain hit me and the cloudburst passed me by, though it was blowing a real hooley at the time. It is these ever changing intense conditions that can result in the most dramatic of results.
Being one of the most westerly points in the UK, it’s a location that’s hard to beat as one of the best places to witness sunset, and really comes into its own when conditions are as spectacular as this.

Looking more like a snowstorm than a sudden cloudburst of rain a Heart of Georgia(HOG) intermodal leaves for Vidalia, GA.
The blinking lights of an aircraft descending to Albuquerque’s Sunport leaves a trail in front of an incoming storm. Los Lunas, New Mexico USA
SUNSET ~ Key West Harbor ~ Key West, Florida U.S.A.
[probably up around ten-thousand feet high]
the city split open like a cracked tooth
rain slashing down in sheets
a cloudburst thick as fever
choking the neon in a dying pulse
headlights flared like warning shots
an electric storm swallowing its own light
they were running
out of doorways, alleyways
out of bars that smelled of piss and loneliness
past cars locked in traffic jams
past stores with empty shelves
someone pounded on a taxi window
pleading to be let in
the driver stared straight ahead
fingers tight on the wheel
somewhere, a siren cried a warning
but still they ran
with nowhere left to go
Hoping for just another couple of weeks of lightning. But if not, well, it will give me a break. Los Lunas, New Mexico USA
