With overcast conditions and the threat of rain looming, I didn't hold much hope for seeing many birds this morning however, I was surprised to see this Nankeen Kestrel sitting in the hollow of a dead tree soaking up the little bit of morning sun as it sporadically peeped through the dark grey clouds. These are such small birds but their piercing gaze penetrates and reminds you how effective they are at hunting.
FCAB train 240 navigates the rugged martianesque landscape of Northern Chile, snaking through a series of s-curves near Los Morros under heavy, low-hanging clouds.
Though rare, even in the driest desert on Earth, there are dreary, overcast days. So, when we woke up to a dark skies on the pass, we sought out angles otherwise unfavorable in sunny conditions. We quickly came up on empty sulfuric acid train 240, a typical mid-morning westbound battling the summit near the loops, and followed her back to the coast.
Perhaps nowhere I've been felt as far from home
2nd in consist is EMD GR12 #1401, one of the original units to FCAB 's roster, purchased in 1961. GL22 #1458 trailed 3rd and is new enough to FCAB to not be listed on most online rosters.
Back to the Lake District today, Ashness Jetty at Derwent water.
I could not have asked for better conditions, as we went there in October of 2019 we caught some lovely Autumn colours and those colours were beautifully reflected in Derwent Water that day.
The conditions were perfect, a nice sky and no wind, this and a few others made my day, This is another shot that I have not edited before and now wish I had as I think this will go on my wall somewhere.
This area is a draw for photographers, I had already got to the Ashness bridge early to shoot that, as we were leaving a minibus turned up and a bunch of togs got out, that was the time to go.
I was crouched behind my tripod here when all of a sudden another tripod was plonked against mine in this small area, I said to the guy could you just give me a few moments to take my shots, one of us could have had a wet day !!!.
One of the draw backs of shooting a honeypot spot I guess .
Look out for stormy conditions tomorrow when storm Chandra drops in to say hello.
Winter conditions in the Rhinogydd hills a great breathing space within Snowdonia.

That's definitely one of my favorite regions to shoot.
Image taken at 2.700mm focal length. Seeing conditions were quite good that night.
Saturation and contrast are increased to highlight the mineral composition of the moon's surface.
Conditions here with the snow and umbrella color almost make this scene B&W right out of the camera.
Posting this a bit super quick as I was only there this morning.
I have just spent a week in the Lake District being totally rained on. I do have one or two photos to post but it wasn't the best, it was just a massive recce really!
So I was very happy to be here this morning amidst some epic Autumn conditions.
When Danny planned a surprise birthday outing for me and told me to bring a camera, I quickly suspected Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington. The Mediterranean greenhouse gives a great floral show in February and March. Then Saturday, March 18, we received snow with white-out conditions and a travel advisory. We had to postpone the surprise until March 26. What I didn't know is that RBG Centre is running a frog exhibit, so I got to visit one of my favourite photo destinations AND have a wonderful surprise. Thank you, Danny!
Project 365, 2023 Edition: Day 84/365
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Of course the title is sarcastic, but nevertheless, in my humble opinion, the snowless, depressing winter makes for a perfect backdrop for old Soviet rolling stock. The picture shows DR1AMv-283 upon arrival at Elektrinių traukinių depas-1 (Elektrodepas I) as a midday LTG Link Turmantas to Vilnius service at the first day of the year 2025. The trainset has passed the Vilinus city limits approx. 700 meters before and is about to stop at the first stop in the Naujoji Vilnia city part. The stop, as the name suggests, is located directly next to the electric trains depot, which mainly serve the commuter trains around Vilnius, as most of the country's network remains unelectrified.

Bald eagle catching its dinner right after sunset. Light was dwindling away fast and the eagle was across the shore, so the conditions were less than ideal, but it was still fun to capture a few action shots!
Took this down West wales I have seen moon halo's before but never one this clear and bright. These conditions are created by the light hitting ice crystals in the atomsphere.
I spent three days down West Wales and had some amazing conditions with crazy sunsets and halos :) will be having a good catch up tonight! :)
conditions not to good
a bit murky ....
10 days isolation just one visit in the middle for a food scavenge

-8°C and a decent breeze blowing, big ice-chunks piled up on the beach — tomorrow rain is forecast…
This early morning we had some misty conditions in the center of the Netherlands. It's always nice to take some pictures with these conditions.
Some stunning conditions created by the 'Beast from the East'. I enjoyed a couple of very productive days around Lincolnshire. Here is the first of my offerings. this one will be added to my Heathland project, which you can view here.....
Last weekend the conditions at Emerald Lake lodge were just amazing. The fog and clouds did not obscure the Milky Way while I was shooting there and in this particular shot the lights from the lodge looked really crazy piercing through the haze. The Milky Way is slightly subdued due to the haze.
Four shot composite blended to balance the lodge lights and the sky. ISO6400 f2.8 14mm, 25s, 20s, 15s, 10s
Challenging conditions for the second Saphos Trains 'Fellsman' charter of the year again with Peppercorn A2 class 4-6-2 No 60532 'Blue Peter. The sound of the whistle before we got the sight of her under the occupation bridge was superb. What wasn't superb though was the sound of the diesel giving the A2 a big push up to the summit. Nonetheless still a wonderful sight in this remote setting and well worth the hike in excellent company.
Wednesday 1st July 2026 Blea Moor
Background Story: I took this photo on Nov 23rd, 2013 from my dining room window first thing in the morning. The atmospheric condition was a combination of light snow and fog caused perhaps because the ground was still warm. I was fascinated by this scene because it looked mysterious and beautiful, something i don't often encounter in my area. I live on Lake Ontario, Canada.

In Torres del Paine, you are basically looking at the same mountain range from a variety of perspectives. But while the view doesn't change a lot, the conditions certainly do. The light and clouds are always doing something different over the peaks. This was taken from the boardwalk behind the Explora Hotel shortly before sunset.
The ferry Hamnavoe decided because of the weather forecast that it would not be possible to operate the scheduled 16.00 sailing from Stromness to Scrabster, so her captain decided (the same as Pentland Ferries on the other side of the Pentland Firth) to depart early to get out through Hoy Sound because it was going to be Wind against the Tide and what you see is the Sea Conditions in Hoy Sound as she heads over to Scrabster.
The return journey went from Scrabster along the North Coast of Caithness/Scotland towards Stroma (almost Gills Bay where the Pentalina ferry goes to) before then crossing over towards Orkney and Scapaflow coming back through Hoxa Sound and on up to Stromness.
There will be NO crossings from either of the 2 ferry companies on Saturday, 16.11.24, because of the sea conditions. The next expected sailings will be on Sunday afternoon, 17.11.24, weather permitting.
Icy conditions remain in the Appalachian Region of northeastern Kentucky. The Cabin Creek Covered Bridge sits at the eastern edge of Lewis County in a remote and hilly area.
A late afternoon dog walk up in the Peak District.
Met up with Mike at Stanage Edge with the hope of catching a decent sunset and maybe a good splash of heather. Conditions were looking good for the former but the heather was now looking past it's best. The surrounding hillsides were a pale magenta rather than the full on riot of purple.
We wandered up the path to the edge with the flip flop masses. As we neared the top it was evident we were going to be swarmed with midges. Out came the Jungle Formula and so we thought we were protected! How wrong were we!? We had some respite as a gentle breeze wafted through but it was hell! There were clouds of the buggers. So much so we had to bale out. The descent back down to the car park was the worst. There were people turning round half way up the path it was that bad!
So we headed off for some refreshment and come up with an alternative. Magpie Mine was suggested so that's where we ended up. Cows in the field but they were just youngsters and pretty harmless, thankfully, after last weeks episode!
So, all the time up Stanage I'd carried my tripod with me. I get to Magpie with a glorious sunset brewing, out comes the Benro only to find my blinkin' L bracket was still at home in the drawer... FFS! Not the first time I have done it, it's the product of having F lenses with a Z system. First world problems I know but still annoying :)
Anyway, the sunset was the best I have seen for ages and this was a quick handheld grab shot. Pep got a good walk and it was also good to catch up with the pirate :)
Will we see conditions like this again before the end of the 'Jacobite' season?
Blue skies and autumnal colours, the wishlist for this October. Back in 2014, K4 No. 61994 'The Great Marquess' climbs away from Essan Bothy and round the shores of Loch Eilt.
Great conditions (temporarily!) on the north Glen Shiel ridge, looking towards the Five Sisters and The Saddle.
Alkborough Flats, Lincolnshire. Perfect conditions for beardies - except for an unscheduled mist which took a while to clear. Very good numbers of the birds which showed very well. Thanks for any likes/comments - appreciated.
Black Redstart / phoenicurus ochruros. Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire. 21/10/22.
'GREY BIRD, GREY DAY.'
If it looks as though this beautiful female Black Redstart was photographed in foggy conditions, she was!
She was favouring the lighthouse garden at Flamborough Head, accompanied by another female plus one male. They were newly arrived migrant birds and moved on after a couple of days.
Weather conditions were much improved over yesterday but we were still burdened with dense fog all day long. I had trouble seeing this tiny red-breasted nuthatch even though it was only about 15 meters away. I think this stern little guy was taking a hard look at me too😊.

Another from the garden which has been a magnet for bees this year. The geranium didn't stand a chance...! Have a great weekend, everyone. I'm off to the Lake District for a few days so keep your fingers crossed for anything less than monsoon conditions on the fells! :)
Blizzard conditions in Rutland as the 6D49 05.23 Tunstead to Luton Crescent Road crosses Uppingham Brook.
In the right conditions, with the ideal balance of light and shade, bluebells thrive. Their favourite habitat is a coppiced woodland. This is where the tree cover does not become overcrowded and is cut back in a well-manged way throughout the years. The canopy this creates allows light through to the forest floor but maintains a level of shadiness that bluebells tend to prefer.
Death_Valley, usually hotter than humans can handle in the Summer, was a tolerable temperature in January. #ThroughHerLens
In very murky conditions former London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Black 5 No. 44871 thunders past Lower Moor having just departed Evesham with The Cathedrals Express charter en route from London Victoria to Worcester Shrub Hill.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photograph is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.
Despite being in drought conditions, Abrams Falls still had some nice water flow. It is well worth the 3 mile hike in and provides many opportunities to make different compositions. The fall color was on display, and after taking the photographs, it was an enjoyable place to relax for a while. Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, USA, October 2022

In conditions that I can only describe as perfect, IC 2716 approaches Warroad after a crew change at the Middlebro/Warroad border crossing for a clear run south of Lake of the Woods to Baudette and Rainy River. I absolutely loved the frost covering everything. Conditions like these held up for only a little while longer. The frosty conditions diminished further east towards Roosevelt and Williams making this shot one of the day's best.
When conditions are met (rain, temperature and light), in spring, there's an explosion of colors emerging from the dormant seeds below of the desert of Atacama, to transform it as a garden where endemic flowers with different colors and shapes.
Absolutely wonderful conditions in the New Forest yesterday which I very nearly missed! I had set the alarm for 04.15, however a quick glance out of the window suggested that the dawn might not be that special so I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.
Fortunately I woke again at 05.00 and by then the Moon could be seen through some thin cloud with a hint of mist forming. I hurriedly got ready and headed into the ‘Forest deciding to see what conditions were like at Mogshade.
I’m so pleased I made the effort as mornings like this don’t come around that often. A classic case of; ‘if you don’t go, you don’t know’!
Buachaille Etive Mor, Glencoe
This was the special morning on our trip, the conditions could honestly not have been better. One of those times with perfect light, colours, snow, frost, ice and all without any wind which made it feel warmer than it actually was.
This is one of that famous pointy mountain, with a slight different foreground take.
I hope you don't mind but looking at my images made over the 3 day trip you will be seeing a good few images..hopefully you will enjoy them all.

These are the regulator valve houses at the bottom of the Caban Coch dam being pounded by overflowing water crashing down. In usual conditions the valves let out a controlled volume of water to keep the Afon Elan flowing on to the River Wye a few miles to the east, rather then just allow it to dry up. However, when the Elan Valley reservoirs are full to overflowing there is no point in the valves being open, as the water just comes pouring over the top of the dam as you see it here. I did rather like the sunlight catching the falling water.
