My son and I grabbed another day in the Lake District at the weekend. The weather forecast was for rain to arrive by lunchtime/early afternoon with a low cloudbase all day, so we had decided to stay low (below 500m) and headed for the south side of Ullswater near Howtown.
This time (sadly) the forecasts were spot on and even at 10am the clouds were covering everything above 500-600m, so views were restricted. Even so, it was great just to be there.
This is the start of a walk, taken from the car-park at the little church of St. Peter's in Martindale, looking west towards the misty peaks on the other side of Ullswater which lay between them & the easily visible Sleet Fell on this side of the lake.
ps better bigger!!
In the previous pic we noticed that the sun was beginning to peek through the cloudbase as it was setting, so we moved around the other side of the aircraft to capture its silhouette against the burning sky.

By the Trig Point on Cul Mor in Assynt and under the cloudbase. Sometimes it pays to be on a smaller hill and still get a view from the top when other higher hills summits are up in the clag.
Suilven from Canisp - two of the amazing peaks in the far north-west of Scotland.
This was a really great morning - haze to quite a high level with just enough of a gap between it and the cloud-base, and while I stood here all I could hear was the sound of stags bellowing
somewhere down below.
A fully tooled up F-15e from RAF Lakenheath shoots past us at Corris corner on a day when the cloudbase would rise about 200ft above us then drop below us. We could hear the jets but thought there was no way they would be able to get to us,luckily they did and this is one from that moody day in 2012
Stitched panoramic shot of the volcanic landscapes around Mount Teide in Tenerife. The 'sea of cloud' at right is the upper surface of the cloud-base, some several thousand feet below the altitude at which these photos were taken. The summit (actually a volcanic crater) of Mount Teide is 12,188 ft (3,715 m) above sea level and this pano is from around 8,000 ft. There was quite a bit of Saharan dust in the air when this was taken and I had made a tactical error in forgetting to pack my circular polariser for the trip to Tenerife, so a graduated filter in Capture One Pro post-processing had to do the necessary. Stitched from 2 frames using the 'panini' stitching algorithm in Capture One.

We had packed up and parted ways that evening. It would be about another 2 hours before the storm to the south would be in the area we chose for that afternoon. We were not set up for night chasing that day and so we called it a night.
These storms were dying on the way north as we tagged along side. Nice rays with cloudbase to end this day's chase!

Backlit shrubs and pines overlooking a 'cloud sea' on the slopes of Mount Teide, Tenerife. The cloud-base was several thousand feet below this altitude, so this is a view of the cloud tops. The warm colour temperature wasn't as much from the sun, but from a lot of dust that had blown up on a warm wind (a 'Calima') from the Sahara dessert in Africa to the east of of the Canary Islands.
A really interesting morning on Canisp (in the far north-west of Scotland). A lot of haze with a great sky above, and all very silent apart from the noise of bellowing stags.
The large body of water on the right is Cam Loch near Elphin.

As true as possible to the conditions of the day
a deluge of emotion raining down the Tor
oblique, occasionally obscured, the mind at play
tricks of the Spring trading in it's warmth for
the changes we lavish with stats to get our way
now all forgotten, open to the Sanctus winds in store
following a fatherly lead progress really is made
undestroyed memories pass like high-speed windows
of the train that doesn't stop at my station frayed
for this is already the journey of never ending shadows
images of bygone fellows burrow the mind and invade
now up this timeless path to the frenzy of misted narrows
what cannot be true engages the senses out of wedlock
refined living and celebate myths rise ever-more steeper
the stories of others battles it's way into a souvenir woodblock
highlighted by stove-light to illuminate the diary keeper
visions past play before the Tor to this windswept flock
as if the rich strain of today's forebearance could possibly be any deeper
the howls and hoots of weathering beyond the graves
whistles past me like a snapshot of reanimate comfort
what joy it brings over these dark momentary waves
now there's no time for any time-sickness's discomfort
as time itself forever marches with no conscience of how it behaves
for such defined reasoning of this moment is left to the scale of Beaufort!
now it's done, the weather leaves no cadre unturned, so to speak
just the cacti touch of presage-driven rain into this speed camera record
of all we have done upon the humbling trail of ancestral antique
thus it becomes ever clearer, staggering up the hill of reverence restored
for every monument on the surface has inner revelations unique
and that's for us to decipher, for it's this elemental grounding we walk toward.

As my hangglider friends say, 'There's no place like Cloud Base'. Even if that means a lot of fog here in Chicago!
A very powerful searchlight was quietly playing its light beam around on the nearby low cloud cover here tonight.

A windy day may have kicked up some red dust reflected in this lenticular cloud. What is unusual is that this red color occurred 75 to 45 minutes before sunset. This image was taken about an hour before sunset on 20 Jan.
Waiting for the sun to set over surprise view above Wharefdale. It had been a grotty day, but things brightened up in the evening so it was worth a shot. I set up and waited to see what would happen and was pleasantly surprised when the sun finally dropped below the cloudbase for a glorious end to the day.
The 637 m asl summit of Causey Pike wasn't quite tall enough to enter the clouds when I passed, offering this view further along the ridge. The next hill is Scar Crags (672 m - not very much higher but catching the cloud), then Sail (773 m). Beyond that, the cloud hid most of Crag Hill (839 m); Eel Crag and Coledale Hause are visible towards the right of the image, 2½ km from here above less-snowy Coledale.
The ~2 km long ridge to the left, in the lee of Scar Crags, is Ard Crags, with Rigg Screes (555 m) at the nearer end, a kilometre from here. Through the gap, one can see the lower slopes of Whiteless Pike (Bleak Rigg), with Whiteless Breast (439 m) at the end, 4.6 km away. Lingcomb Edge, below Red Pike, is on the far side of Buttermere, 8 km away.
Robinson (737 m) occupies the left of the background.
Note that the cloudbase is distinctly lower to the left of Scar Crags. That's partly fallen snow being blown back into the sky, but the cloud really did seem to be pulled down by air flows over the ridge.

Seeing that gap between the cloudbase and horizon on my way home from the supermarket yesterday I thought I'd pop up to South Stack to see how it developed as the sun sank. Windy it certainly was - too much for a tripod - and persistent (and very frustrating) horizontal rain coming in from the sea. As a result I spent more time wiping my lens than looking through it and most of the images I managed to capture were spoiled by rain blur and flare. But some got through unscathed......

Thunderbirds are go! The morning had been drizzle/light rain. The cloudbase was so low that some display teams took off and landed almost immediately. Others simply taxied down the runway. It wasn't what we wanted to see. Visibility remained poor, photos were flat and I racked up hundreds of blurry shots. But one came out OK. I think they cheat. I think the upper aircraft is slightly closer to the camera.
The clouds giving the illusion that these mountains are green, but actually above cloudbase are dramatic, mighty rocks that when I come here, I find very photogenic and I just cannot resist taking multiple photographs of them. The great thing about the mountains is that you can take several photos of the same spot and no two images will be the same due to the inherent changeability of them.
Im not entirely sure what spurred me on to build this, it was so long ago I've completely forgotten why it exists.
It does pretty much what it says in the title, it's a Tardis interior to suit the Master when he was posing as Harold Saxon. The look of it is based a great deal on the interior of "The Valiant", the Cloudbase style craft. It's got the same kinda look to it, the wood walls, the lines, the pillars, and even a glass Tardis console. I probably could have been more ambitious, but it looks nice enough. Gotta say, the Loki head works really well for John Simms Master, I'me quite impressed by it.
I can sense I'm starting off on a ramble so I think I'll leave things there. You're free to continue with your day.

A catapult launched jet fighter aircraft from the 1967 TV series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. The aircraft which are flown by women pilots operate from an airborne aircraft carrier named Cloudbase. The Angel Interceptor is based on the World Air Force Viper, powered by twin turbo-jet compressors feeding a single ramjet. It is armed with a nose cannon, firing heat seeking and armour piercing shells and with air-to-air and air-to-ground rocket launchers. It lands by swooping up into a vertical attitude and 'hooks' on to the carrier similarly to the Ryan Vertijet

It was late & close to midnight. I went out about an hour before the storm was supposed visit our area. Storm slowed way down but was producing some nice ambient lighting against the lower cloudbase.
So I decided to stick around & see what was going to happen.
I wasn't going to be disappointed.

Taken before that annoying person walked onto the pier ;o)
This was one of the first shots of the morning before the intense reds really started firing up the cloudbase. This is an hdr composition.... I just can't get the hang of this hdr work. I think I understand what to do in photomatix and roughly what settings to use so I feel there must be something that is done later in PS that gives those superbright hdr shots that I see about the place, the ones that have a real sharp pop to them but still look realistic. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Oh and it is a star, you don't have a blown pixel.
And while I'm looking for help, I need some help with my spanish too... why is 'sunrise' en espanol 'salida del sol'. Salida = exit... right? It would therefore seem that salida del sol should be sunset, no?
Lower cloudbase and Interesting warm /cold front. Lasted about 5 minutes max and then faded completely to uniform grey cloud as the front moved in. Actually took this hanging out of a bedroom window. Small pano.

One from my back garden, well not quite, the woods start close by, but 1.5 miles mud plugging through the woods you arrive at this scene, worked out well really, weather decided to play ball, cloudy when I kicked off, and the winter sun worked wonders on the low cloudbase.
Thanks for your Views and faves, and your comments, all appreciated....
Barra is nearly the southernmost of the Outer Hebrides; with Vatersey (linked by causeway), it's the southernmost inhabited island of the chain. Its overall dimensions are 18×10 km but it's shaped a little like a long-necked turtle, so its area is only 60 km²
Surprisingly enough, the island's capital, Castlebay, lines the shore of a sheltered bay guarded by a castle ~90 m offshore. Tiny as it is (the whole island's population is ~1,175, never mind Castlebay alone), I was impressed that the village provides the full range of emergency, medical, educational and community facilities.
Kisimul Castle, built in 1039 and never taken by an attacker, was the seat of Clan MacNeil until the twenty-first chief was obliged to sell Barra in 1838. Stones from the castle were recycled as fishing boats' ballast and even paving in Glasgow, but thankfully it was leased to Historic Scotland for 1,000 years from 2001, so is now better protected.
We'd only visited Barra for the day, to experience the world's only airport where scheduled flights (by 18-seat Twin Otter) operate to and from a tidal beach. It's surprisingly inexpensive to fly from Glasgow, passing over Scotland's west coast, Oban and Mull at just ~2,500m – I highly recommend it.
However, the service is vulnerable to low cloud – instrument-only approaches really aren't an option – so when the weather turned we were stranded overnight, returning the following morning on this ferry (~5 hours to Oban) and taxi. All part of the adventure, and it wouldn't deter me from returning!
By the time I took this photo, ~4 hours after the cancellation, the cloud had considerably lifted again – of course – but the cloudbase was still well below ~150 m.
There's been a ferry between Castlebay and Oban since the late 19th Century, but the current ro-ro vehicle service only began in 1974, using a dedicated stern loading ramp since the 1980s.
MV 'Isle of Arran' was built in 1983 and provided the, yes, Arran service for ten years. After a number of other assignments, she's spent summers since 2011 back on the Arran route and winters as a spare vessel available across the CalMac network. On this occasion she was moored overnight to replace MV 'Isle of Lewis' for the early morning sailing. 'Isle of Lewis', the usual Barra ferry, is about a third larger than 'Isle of Arran' and better suited to the open Atlantic. We had an... interesting crossing.
