"Balloons over Waikato" festival 2016. The weather was a mixed-bag this year, but on the morning of this shot the conditions were perfect for flying!
Waren (Müritz) (also Waren an der Müritz) is a town and climatic spa in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
Waren lies on Lake Müritz, the largest inland lake lying entirely within Germany, which has an area of 117 square kilometres (45 square miles).
If feeding conditions is good the capacious throat sac is used to engulf whole shoals of fish. This large waterbird is often found swimming in flocks in shallow lowland lakes and river deltas. Native to south-east Europe.
Lighting conditions were changing fast that morning. Thus, another take on Niagara's Horseshoe Falls.
Norfolk Hawker - Anaciaeschna isoceles (F)
Habitat
The optimum conditions for breeding appear to be unspoilt grazing marsh dyke systems with clean, non-saline water, rushy margins, preferably with an abundance of water soldier as well as other aquatic plants.
Threats
Conversion of grazing marsh to arable farming.
Inappropriate ditch management.
Nutrients enrichment.
Pollution.
The impact of global climate change and fluctuations in water levels.
Status & Distribution
The Norfolk Hawker is currently restricted to the fens and grazing marshes that are relatively isolated from polluted water in the Broadlands of Norfolk and Northeast Suffolk. A Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) for the Norfolk Hawker has been drafted for Norfolk.
Similar Species
Brown Hawker
Brown wings.
Blue-brown eyes.
Blue and yellow markings.
Management
Norfolk Hawker Management Profile
General management principles include maintaining grazing marshes, controlling saline intrusion, controlling nutrient enrichment. There are also best practice guidelines for managing inhabited sites, particularly the dyke vegetation and the surrounding terrestrial habitats.
Case Study
Work is underway to restore habitats for this species in Norfolk.

DELIGHTFUL PLUMP-BODIED WADER, not often seen, and taken in very dark conditions, the best of a bad bunch, but just enjoy catching up with this pair every-year at the sea side defense wall, from Jan to about April. Seen a Hampton near Herne Bay, Kent, U.K.
The Northern Lights, taken in Iceland on 24/11/2017.
Conditions on this evening were, temp -25c, wind 40mph, photo taken on a tripod being held to the ground by myself. kneeling and my partner acting as our windbreak.
30 Second exposure on ISO 800
A quick note to all who wish to photograph the Northern Lights, it is very rare that they can be seen like this with the naked eye.

We've been told it's going to snow this weekend, but this magnolia tree is getting ready for spring with its fuzzy buds.
I keep saying it but the conditions we were presented with were more than we could ever have hoped for.
There is another vantage point just off to the right that provides a similar composition but includes Loughrigg Tarn. Personally I think it's the better comp but another tog was already there and whilst there were several people up by the trig point, the four of us that were in this area kept to ourselves for the first hour or so. I think we were all a little blown away and just wanted to get our shots and savour the spectacle in front of us. I did have a quick chat with one of them who kindly let me stand behind his tripod and take a wider selfie shot that I posted last week.
We all ended up back at the convergence of the many paths that weave their way around the undulations, lumps and bumps of Loughrigg and had a chat about what we had just witnessed when the mist and best of the conditions had passed. I could've stayed up here for another couple more hours but had a pressing engagement with a Full English breakfast and a mug of Yorkshire's finest.
Probably my favourite shot from the morning.
Blizzard conditions from fresh snow being blown around by strong winds caused white-outs and shut down travel across much of northern Iowa today, but that didn't stop this brave colorful cardinal from coming by to brighten up a dangerous day.
These conditions were more than I could have asked for. The drive up was terrible and muddy and my truck still has mud stuck in places 3 weeks later. In the end it was all worth it for this shoot, and this one is just the beginning!!!! Vlog this weekend!! Kris.. Vlog below…

The conditions couldn't have been better for this. Godrays, fjords, sunset, an amazing vista. When you're traveling it's not always possible to time your visit at the best time in terms of light or even weather. I was incredibly lucky to have such a great sunset and was able to capture this moment in time.

Yesterday I bought a new lens, Tamron 150-600mm. On our way home we made a few stops to try it out. I am very happy with the results! The conditions was not the best, but some of the photos might be the best I have taken. I am really thrilled to take this lens out again! This is a close up of a grooming mallard.
The sign says FOR SALE......could have been a test run, as this sailboat made many circular laps, thus giving me the photo opportunity to capture the sails under variable lighting conditions.
In this capture, the sun was low in the sky, casting a beautiful warm glow that illuminated both the boat's sails and the whitecaps on this beautiful bay - turning the caps to gold.

Not the calmest of conditions or sharpest of lenses...but look what brought a huge smile to my face this week - the first common blue of the year!
Thank you so much to everyone for all your faves, comments and encouragement - I appreciate every one of you so much, but once again I'm behind with comments.
Working from home is involving so much screen time I'm finding it really hard to take on any more, but being out with the camera daily and spotting the changes in nature is my medicine.
I will try my hardest to catch up very soon x
The conditions in which I was shooting in here were very dark, as it was quite early in the morning, so unfortunately I had to bump up my ISO, but I still like how this one came out.

P.S. If you zoom in on this shot, and the photo doesn't look sharp anymore, just move your cursor around a bit.
The weather conditions on this day were like no other I have ever seen. There had been quite a large amount of snow falling over the previous days, but the road was clear to drive the incline to Beachy Head (over 500 ft above sea level). When I got to the top this scene awaited me. I quickly found a place to park and walked across the road to capture these amazing crepuscular rays shining down on the surface of the sea. There was a lone figure walking down the path towards the cliff tops and I wondered whether he would make it back in daylight as the sun was setting fast.
The best I could do under difficult lighting conditions in the early morning with heavy clouds. I've seen these fantastic hornbills before, but only in flight. I was so thrilled to see this pair sitting in a fig tree. There were also around twenty brown and pied hornbills flying in and out of the tree gorging themselves with figs.
Wikipedia: The great hornbill (Buceros bicornis), also known as the concave-casqued hornbill, great Indian hornbill or great pied hornbill, is one of the larger members of the hornbill family. It is found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Its impressive size and color have made it important in many tribal cultures and rituals. The great hornbill is long-lived, living for nearly 50 years in captivity. It is predominantly frugivorous, but is an opportunist and will prey on small mammals, reptiles and birds.
The great hornbill is a large bird, 95–130 cm (37–51 in) long, with a 152 cm (60 in) wingspan and a weight of 2 to 4 kg (4.4 to 8.8 lb). The average weight of 7 males is 3 kg (6.6 lb) whereas that of 3 females is 2.59 kg (5.7 lb). It is the heaviest, but not the longest, Asian hornbill. Females are smaller than males and have bluish-white instead of red eyes, although the orbital skin is pinkish. Like other hornbills, they have prominent "eyelashes".

The weather conditions in Churchill were the most extreme conditions I have ever photographed in. On this day it was -2 degrees Fahrenheit which is -18 Celsius. Add to that a wind chill of minus 30. I even got an icicle on my eye lid -haha! I wouldn't have traded this experience though and the amazing sightings we had with this polar bear family :-).
After the visit to San Gimignano and surrounding areas I spend three days in a beautiful Country Hotel named Borgo Tre Rose, with 360° of view of the wonderful hills and vineyards of Tuscany.
I intended to visit Pienza, Val d'Orcia and Lago Trasimeno, unforgetable places of the Tuscany and Umbria region, but unfortunately I had not health conditions to do this.
As you can see in the next photos this place is very pleasant and appropriate to relax. The view from there is fabulous, and the amount of flowers had enchanted me and made me forget for a while everything that I have missed in this region.
Weather conditions improved in the late afternoon. This is a northwestward view from a hill that used to be the site for Chichijima's weather station.
The island in the left is Nishijima (西島, western island), while those in the right are Hyoutanjima (瓢箪島 gourd island), Anijima (兄島 older brother island), and Hitomarujima (人丸島).
According the climate data provided by Japan Meteorological Agency, average temperature of the coldest month in Chichijima is 18.5 degree Celsius, which means Chichijima has a tropical climate.
Annual precipitation of Chichijima is 1,296 mm, and the precipitation of the driest month is 51.6 mm, which means Chichijima has the tropical monsoon climate (Am) as compared to the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) in the Izu islands and the main island part of Tokyo.
Chichijima's climate is relatively dry judging from the Japanese standard; annual precipitation of downtown Tokyo is 1,530 mm.

Taken in October 2020 on a K&F Concept workshop. An exceptionally low tide at New Brighton of 0.6m meant we could make the mile or so walk out to the wreck of the SS Denham.
We were blessed with superb conditions with some wonderful cloud cover with breaks in between. As the light faded we turned our attention to the wind farm in Liverpool Bay. Thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all managed to forget about Covid for a few hours.

You don't really get much better conditions for woodland photography than mist which just adds a little separation.... especially if you get the sun just starting to burn through too. Unfortunately I had to leave and head off to work so I don't know if this happened.
This wood sits not far from my work and to be honest id not given it much thought before now... but im trying to stop chasing the honeypot locations so much and concentrate more on the landscape all about us... Im not saying I won't stop going to more photographed locations far from it... im just trying to broaden my horizon I guess. Look a bit deeper into what's around me where I am at that point in time.
Maybe I'll be a popular place but the lights not right... rather than chase a shot that won't work...and get grumpy ill try to go find something abstract, or a local wee patch of woodland close by... or just get a macro out and shoot in a Rockpool. I don't know... I just feel I need to stop hunting down big images and look closer at the world around me... less time driving to locations and more time actually taking photographs! If the results are as pleasing to me as my last few shots where I have done exactly that then I cant complain!
Riffelsee revealing his fascinating reflection on a calm & clear autumn morning. Perfect conditions for "His Majesty's" glorious appearance in the first light of the day.
The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning 'juice', or 'sap'. Succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Succulents are often grown as ornamental plants because of their striking and unusual appearance, as well as their ability to thrive with relatively minimal care. The habitats of these water preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall, such as deserts. Succulents have the ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem which contains scarce water sources. 54089
Due to drought conditions, water is not always present at the falls. We were lucky to see a trickle coming over the cliff high above. Still pretty awesome and the area is beautiful. There are signs galore warning of potential landslides and danger, but visitors (such as myself) ventured close anyway.

Nojoqui Falls Park - Santa Barbara County - California - USA
Conditions for limestone pavements are created when an advancing glacier scrapes away overburden and exposes horizontally bedded limestone, with subsequent glacial retreat leaving behind a flat, bare surface. Limestone is slightly soluble in water and especially in acid rain, so corrosive drainage along joints and cracks in the limestone can produce slabs called clints isolated by deep fissures called grikes or grykes[2] (terms derived from a northern English dialect).

Thank you so much for your visit!
After many varied weather forecasts, we ended up with about 4 plus inches Thursday night, some wind and even rain prior to the snow. No real blizzard conditions because the snow was quite wet . . .
This is near a large aerated pond where we still have Canadian Geese that like it here too much . . . no migration plans at the moment!

This was made a few days before the image in my previous post. The bird in an area where owls are nesting. I believe this is the male, who is usually watching the nest tree from a distance.
This is another early morning low light shot (12,800 ISO, f5.6, 1/4 seconds). I continue to be amazed at the lighting conditions our current cameras allow us to work in.
Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 2/2023.
Weather conditions during Rocky Mountaineer's trek across Soldier Summit on Nov. 5, 2022 were in stark contrast. Price Canyon was party cloudy and relatively warm while Spanish Fork Canyon was cloudy, dark, with light rain. The luxury cruise train is pictured about to plunge into the 403 ft. Nolan Tunnel on a 1.73% grade. Admittedly, a video with sound would be far more interesting as a pair of GP40-3s strut their stuff on a mountain grade.
Out early again to capture this crop and it's lone tree in the blue hour.
I have passed this location a few times of late so had to return with the camera.
As one can see the soil conditions this crop has grown in.
Have taken a few other compositions in this location near Oakhanger, Hampshire.
Please note,I was given permission by the farmer, whom i have got to know recently to wander around their fields.
Weather conditions are kinda rough today, heavy rain and snowfall are forecasted.
A blanket of snow is still visible outside in our area and right now it’s snowing heavily again.
So I thought it’s a good day for a winter photo ;-)
At least it’s finally really wet outside and that’s good for nature after the dry weeks lately.
Archive shot. It was -5 degrees C that morning. I had to give up when I could no longer feel my fingers - this, with gloves on.
Weather
I don’t think I’ve posted different weather conditions before. So here are lots of rain; snow; clouds; The Moon; rainbows; fog and mist and other stuff all coming your way every now and then.
Very shortly after I’d taken the slow shutter-speed shot of the water, this chap ran along the edge of the bathing pool and simply leapt into the churning sea and paddled off in search of his wave. I just managed to crank up my iso enough to catch him and I fired off a couple of shots. It all happened so quickly.
This is a composite of the two images.
