We had a bit of winter at the end of October...

Great Central Railway - Lougborough on a cold and frosty morning.

The mist and cloud finally lift over the Old Man of Storr after dawn.

 

In the distance you can make out the same thing happening with the Cuillin Mountain range above Loch Leathan and the Sound of Raasay.

 

A magical time just before lockdown, although there was no one else up here at all when this was taken!

Despite how the day started the weather finally started to clear, when we're on the summit of Sgor Mor, although the clouds hung on for dear life on the tops of these four Mumro's. We can see The Devil's point, but behind that, and totally obscured are Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach. The deep valley of Glen Dee leading to the Lairig Ghru marches into the distance. To give a sense of scale, a walkers bothy can just be made out at the foot of Devil's Peak deep in the Glen.

 

At a height of 2667 feet (813 meters), Sgor Mor doesn't quite qualify as a Munro as it's 333 feet (111 meters) short, but it is a Corbett and offers some great views of the Cairngorms.

Sometimes when you're down all it takes is a horseback ride to help you see things clearer.

A welcome sight over Loch Linnhe

Sometimes it happens... Sometimes its better to retreat and think about a problem very carefully, before careless actions hurts somebody, you have feelings for.

Local woodland scene in early August.

Following on from the previous image, the pathway leads to an open clearing on the heath.

Mist still hovers in the tops of the trees.

Vikbolandet, Östergötland, Sweden

Nasty weather forecast for the next few days.

Atop the Blue Ridge, Virginia

We had waited all day for the rain to stop and get out for a hike. About 10 o'clock at night the weather started to turn and we headed up into the hills. The Lofoten archipelago lies above the arctic circle in Northern Norway. The sun does not set here for seven weeks in summer. The photo shows a view towards Flakstadoya, one of the chain of islands that form the Lofoten. Panorama stitched from two horizontal frames.

Cape Charles, Virginia

A gap in Blidworth Woods, Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, UK, where plantation pine trees have recently been felled.

An early morning stroll through the woods as the mist begins to clear.

 

I liked the feel of this shot with the soft moss and pine needles adjoining the narrow trail through this clearing. There was just a hint of the mist providing some separation in the forest to the rear of the shot too.

Thanks for looking as always your comments etc are appreciated.

Country Roads - 340th Ave.

 

Woke up this morning with a very damp heavy fog . . . started to clear later as I was roaming around with my camera. Finally giving way to spotty sunlight, drifting low fog and some blue sky.

 

It's March in Iowa, you never know what's next!

Swettepoel near Joure in the Netherlands

Might be a good beach day after all.

A beautiful morning at the shore.

The blue-winged parakeet, also known as the Malabar parakeet (Psittacula columboides) is a species of parakeet endemic to the Western Ghats of southern India. Found in small flocks, they fly rapidly in forest clearings while making screeching calls that differ from those of other parakeet species within their distribution range. Their long blue tails tipped in yellow and the dark wings with blue contrast with the dull grey of their head and body. Adult males and females can be easily told apart from the colour of their beak.

Twin Sisters late one evening last summer as the storm cleared out.

 

Have a great weekend!!!

Early morning low clouds part just enough to reveal a fresh blanket of snow on Mount Shasta in Northern California.

Here on a cloudy fall day, we find an LS&I "Hill job" clearing the scales heading down grade with loads for the dock behind a pair of U23C's and a U25C on September 24, 1986.

Au dessus de Désaignes, Ardèche

I always like the moment just before the sun appears. A monumental feel to this landscape.

Summer thunder storm clouds clear at sunset above the Sierra Nevada crest, Yosemite National Park.

 

Photographic prospects seem to be distributed across a sort of bell curve. Most of the time the opportunities are fine and interesting, and it is possible to make decent photographs from what you find. Occasionally I find myself at one of the sharp ends of the curve. When at the end where nothing much seems to be happening, I remind myself that I’m storing up karma for those moments when the opposite happens. And if you are out there enough, these unbelievable moments will happen from time to time — and they are enough to keep you coming back.

 

This was a truly memorable evening that provided an embarrassment of visual riches. Soon after this trip, I came up with a series of four photographs in landscape orientation that traced the astonishing evolution of the light from late afternoon through dusk. Four seemed like plenty at the time, so I left the rest behind — some of which would normally have been keepers. This is one of those, made when I briefly shifted the camera to portrait orientation.
