Just moving things around again. 40 minutes before this series of images were taken the sky was a uniform dark gray and the wind almost carried out tent away. The sky finally started to clear this was the result!
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Marcel Proust
One of my favorite quotes. This image was taken from my back yard.
November's storms start to clear the summits of the Macleod Tables in Western Skye.
Healabhal Mhor (Macleods Table North) and the smaller Healabhal Bheag (Macleods Table South), are shrouded in the last flurries of the rain before clearer weather moved in from the Sea.
That is one of the amazing features of Skye, the weather changes so quickly and dramatically. You can experience 4 seasons in a morning, let alone in a day!
Minutes after a Sonoran Desert snow storm. Southwest of Tucson. My side yard. No crop. No post processing.
I found this path off the main road on the entrance to Moraine View State Park near Leroy, Illinois this evening about 20 minutes before sunset. The forest was dimly light, what caught my eye was the light on the trees at the end of the path where it must open up into a clearing. I underexposed 1/3 to make sure the surrounding forest was dim and clearing was not overexposed.
I had come back to this location in Pontlottyn with the hope of catching the 37 here now that the later sunset might make this shot possible again. However, on what should be the final day, 37418 disgraced itself by failing yet again at Cardiff so the 17.01 to Rhymney was cancelled. Here 142002 at least provides a consolation shot. 2R18 Penarth to Rhymney.
Snow had fallen throughout the previous day (11/11/18), leaving a bit more than a foot in my back yard. Anticipating good light, I walked to Chautauqua Park to see the clouds lifting off the flatirons, Boulder's distinctive formation of uplifted sandstone.
Boulder's early settlers referred to these 5 uplifted slabs as flatirons because they were similar to the triangular slabs of metal that they used to iron their clothes.

Thank you all for commenting and favouring my images it is very much appreciated.
The target of my trip to Parson Street yesterday was the new steel freight flow along the Portbury branch to Portbury docks. The eagle eyed amongst you will have spotted that this isn't a DB operated freight flow.
This is of course the 1457 Bristol FLT to Willesden stone train operated by DCR, part of the Cappagh group. 60029 has just cleared the yards and gets a green light from the signal behind me. The sun back lit the exhaust plume as the driver applies the power and the 60 clears her throat. According to some local enthusiasts the service normally crosses onto the centre line west of the station. With the train being on the slow line it offered a better angle for me and the other chaps who had turned up to bag a shot of the new steel train.
Just how i feel :-) Julies dad has got the all clear and my mum is home from hospital (though she will never be the wonderful vibrant person she was)
Pond, Clearing Fog. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Tule fog thins above a Central Valley pond on a late-autumn morning.
The core of my landscape photography follows a pattern linked to the seasons — no surprise, I suppose, since the landscape is so profoundly affected by seasonal changes. Every year at this time my attention turns to California’s Great Central Valley, where the combination of migratory birds, tule fog, and its minimal landscape become my focus. I finally made it out there this week for the first time this season.
I suppose “normal people” would avoid this area on a day like this. Objectively speaking, this thick fog is not conducive to travel, and those who live there get tired of days and weeks of the cold and damp. But these conditions turn a landscape that can be a bit pedestrian into something mysterious and atmospheric. When I arrived before dawn the fog was so thick that I couldn’t see more than perhaps a hundred feet. But shortly after sunrise the fog began to drift and thin, faint windows opened in the sky above, and soft light began to subtly illuminate the landscape.

This was somewhere along Icefields Parkway between Bow Lake and Saskatchewan River Crossing. Perhaps one of you Albertans recognize it. Banff National Park, Canada
We get to enjoy the view by the River as the fog starts to clear away. This is a popular area in this region to be photographed. The ambiance is ever changing given the weather here by the Susquehanna River in Columbia, Pa. The river runs North to South so the sunsets looking to the West which is where I was positioned taking this photograph can be very beautiful. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness are present with me.
I will be away from Flickr for a few days, so please excuse my late response to your comments. In an hour or so I will be heading into the hospital for a medical procedure. We hope this will give a clearer understanding of some recent health issues. In the meantime let us all hope for clearer skies ahead.
On a trip to Death Valley, I stayed in Las Vegas. As I was heading back to my Hotel after a couple of days in the valley the weather turned cold and snowy, yes, snow in Vegas. Along the highway were these mountains with a dusting of snow on them with the sky starting to clear at Sunset. This is a double vision of the storm below and the bright, clear skies above.
Todays photo is from my woodland trip up to Northumberland last Friday. The bracken was well on its way to turning a golden brown and the birch tree’s always early to turn looking beautiful with their flitting yellow leaves. so given the lack of any mist the decision was an easy one, to concentrate on these lovely trees. Here is a birch I've had an eye for a while standing alone in a clearing before the dense onset of the pine forest.
There’s a bit more white stuff to chew on at Cumbres, Colorado, as Cumbres & Toltec Rotary OY makes a second run at the build-up of icy snow at the Colorado Highway 17 grade crossing at the summit on March 1, 2020.
