Conditions were really nice this particular morning on Loch Lubnaig. This was one of my first proper outings with the Nikon Z72 and the 24-120mm Nikkor lens. I had always fancied this location to photograph the boat house with the scaffolding adding something different to the scene.
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’!
Conditions calmed down as sunset neared after a wet and windy day around Glencoe, although the low cloud and drizzle hung on for a few hours before the next batch of showers came through in the night
10am here, blowing snow in a bitter wind and dark as night, but exultant inside as the votes in Georgia continue to roll in... feeling brighter already
Monday was a Beautiful May Day till late when the clouds started to move in from the northwest and was clouded over by 5pm. Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
🇫🇷 Le pont a été construit par le comte hongrois István Széchenyi pour assister aux funérailles de son père en 1820, lorsque de mauvaises conditions météorologiques ont empêché l'utilisation d'un pont flottant en bois. Le concepteur britannique de ponts, William Tierney Clark, a été invité à concevoir ce magnifique pont des chaînes. En 1850, le concepteur hongrois János Marschalkó a créé les statues de lions de chaque côté du pont, avec leurs griffes tenant des objets pour symboliser la connexion étroite entre Buda et Pest. La chaussée du pont des chaînes est située au centre du pont, avec des passages pour piétons de chaque côté.
🇬🇧 The bridge was built by the Hungarian Count István Széchenyi so that he could attend his father’s funeral in 1820, when bad weather prevented the use of a wooden pontoon bridge. The British bridge engineer William Tierney Clark was commissioned to design this magnificent chain bridge. In 1850, the Hungarian sculptor János Marschalkó created the lion statues on either side of the bridge, with their paws clutching objects to symbolise the close connection between Buda and Pest. The carriageway of the Chain Bridge is situated in the centre of the bridge, with footpaths on either side.

Der britische Brückenbauingenieur William Tierney Clark wurde beauftragt, diese prächtige Kettenbrücke zu entwerfen. Im Jahr 1850 schuf der ungarische Bildhauer János Marschalkó die Löwenstatuen auf beiden Seiten der Brücke, deren Pranken Gegenstände halten, um die enge Verbindung zwischen Buda und Pest zu symbolisieren. Die Fahrbahn der Kettenbrücke befindet sich in der Mitte der Brücke, mit Fußgängerwegen auf beiden Seiten.

Each February, if the conditions are right, Horsetail falls morphs into something known as the Firefall. It can only happen during about 14 days in late February and the confluence of conditions needed to make it happen is kind of mind boggling.
It requires the right amount of snow in the weeks before, the right amount of sun the days before (to melt the snow) and a sunny day with few or no clouds in or west of the park. When all of those things happen together, a sunset in the park is absolute magic.
I'd first seen the firefall about 3 years ago and while it was interesting it wasn't anything like we saw on Saturday. The volume of water was creating orange mist all around the falls and was truly awesome. One of the other photographers I was traveling with who is my best expert on shooting the park called it the best he's seen in 6 years.

“THE WEATHER OF LOVE
Love
Has a way of wilting
Or blossoming
At the strangest,
Most unpredictable hour.
This is how love is,
An uncontrollable beast
In the form of a flower.
The sun does not always shine on it.
Nor does the rain always pour on it
Nor should it always get beaten by a storm.
Love does not always emit the sweetest scents,
And sometimes it can sting with its thorns.
Water it.
Give it plenty of sunlight.
Nurture it,
And the flower of love will
Outlive you.
Neglect it or keep dissecting it,
And its petals will quickly curl up and die.
This is how love is,
Perfection is a delusional vision.
So love the person who loves you
Unconditionally,
And abandon the one
Who only loves you
Under favorable
Conditions.”

In dreary conditions, NS 9821 East leads 820 out of Antler No. 1 Tunnel on the Pokey main with 105 tidewaters from Weller.
March 14, 2015.
In very typically Pacific Northwest weather conditions, Amtrak train 11, the southbound Coast Starlight, rolls off the lower level of the Steel Bridge in downtown Portland, en route to (likely) sunnier destinations in California. If you're into transit, this is a much better spot to watch light rail than mainline railroad action, as MAX's Yellow, Green, Blue, and Red Line services all funnel across the upper deck of the bridge, with a train passing once every 90 seconds, on average. An S-bahn style downtown subway tunnel has been discussed to alleviate this major bottleneck, but so far has been mired in a political swamp.
Some nice foggy conditions yesterday morning so had a trip up to the roaches for a couple of hours, not been here in over a year and I am sure there was more trees that had fallen over than the last time I was here which made it more chaotic than ever to get compositions.
Moody conditions at the head of the Wasdale Valley.
The cliffs of Great Gable emerged briefly from the clouds and I caught this image. I think the mono treatment helps convey the atmosphere around the summit. I had been up there earlier in poor visibility and this was a reminder of how quickly conditions can change in the Lakeland Fells.
Conditions were much whiter a year ago on the slopes of Chrome Hill. Parkhouse looked impressive in its temporary coat
The weather seems to be in the doldrums at present and little new content is being posted
Just back home from a little break at my daughters in the Cotswolds and I'll have to edit some shots I took down there before posting. So here is one I had in the archives from earlier this year.
This is a fallen silver birch tree that was nestling in the marvellous beds of Ramson's in Hollins Lane Wood, near Silverdale last month. The aroma of the Wild Garlic hits you as you get out of the car here. I popped back the following day when conditions were very different, only to find that all this area had been decimated by a tractor that had been brought in to take this tree away. I suppose that had to be done at some point, but it was a shame to see all the plants crushed!
Misty conditions created these lovely colour and light effects as the rising sun emerged from behind a low cloud front. By shooting for HDR, and positioning the sun behind the branches of the trees, I managed to control the contrast enough to bring out good colour and reasonable detail throughout the image. The layer of mist was quite shallow, as the blue sky top right of the picture will testify, so I had to work fairly quickly before the contrast levels became too great even for HDR to handle effectively.
On the whole though, a pretty straightforward shot on a simply stunning morning, an absolute dream for creating misty glows and colour effects.
Early flowering Lavender.
[ Munstead ]
Bloom times highly depend on weather conditions.
Lavender has long been cultivated for it's
high quality oil.
Rubbish conditions for a photo but great to see the 4th Juvenile, we were thinking number 4 hadn't made it !
Out cloud chasing, when out of no where this storm popped up in Sequoia. Miss the sounds, smells and feel of the rain as for here in the San Joaquin Valley this is a rarity due to drought conditions.
Taken in very dark conditions with the RF800mm lens which isn't renowned for its low light performance.
This is a very light variant and looked to be in good condition. There was another SEO sat on the adjacent post and this one dive bombed it, chasing it away before calmly circling round and alighting on the next post. Wonderful to see - although I sadly missed a shot of the action.
The jaguar, Panthera onca, is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
Unfortunately, the jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat.
This one is a wild old male and he was resting in a river bank at Rio Cuibá, Mato Grosso (Pantanal National Park). Very difficult light conditions, handheld and taken from a little boat.

Conditions in Samburu National Reserve have been very dry for many months, and there is less and less for the endangered Grevy's zebra to forage on. Rangers at the northern Kenya national park have been supplementing the animals' diets by setting up daily hay stations. Here in the plains in the early morning, though, the zebras are managing to find something to eat on their own. ©2022 | John M. Hudson
The Southwest by night is magical especially under the Supermoon. Not a sound to be heard and no one around......My favorite conditions
In the last 9+ years of living in the area, I've been fortunate to get a handful of shots on this picturesque bridge over the Redwood River at North Redwood, MN. With infrequent and unpredictable operations on the line, you have to take what you can get. I'm glad I have has many pictures of them as I do, but many of them are in less than ideal conditions. Finally, everything lined up perfectly on this morning to get an eastbound on the bridge in calm, clear weather. Even better, the train had three locomotives, including the railroad's two former Kennecott Copper GP39-2s and the CAT powered RRVW 2053. A huge thank you to my friend Andrew for giving me a heads up that the train was coming from Delhi, or I would've missed it. I don't think I'll ever do much better than this again!
Since the conditions for outdoor photography were so challenging today, I'm adding this female northern shoveler's portrait that I took along the Mississippi River last Saturday. The lighting was much better then😊. She should be able to shovel in the seeds when feeding with that huge bill😁.
Conditions were perfect last Friday evening at Our Lady's Island for some sunset photography. The lake was very still with little or no winds and nice high clouds illuminated by the setting sun, it was simply beautiful.
All light & rays are natural. On the 30th of April we had perfect conditions (about 3 degrees celsius, sun & fog), so i decided to take an early walk with my dogs on this Sunday. Now we have to wait here until fall to see this again.

Perfect conditions at Bromford Bridge greeted the arrival of 20205 and 20007 running as 6F34 the 09:15 Kings Norton to Old Dalby off for another TfW Tram/Train move. A real pleasure to chat with Mr Payne here.
Stacksteads
Freezing conditions as Stacksteads turns into the Arctic.
Cold but lovely. It’s nice to see a blue sky and the sun.
Wrap up well for winter.

A memorable afternoon and evening at Elgol where conditions were constantly changing as Storm Dudley approached the Isle of Skye. We were treated to ever changing conditions, including a rising tide, nearly gale force winds, grey skies, broken clouds, flat light which was often quickly followed with moments of gorgeous light.
We were a group of 6 togs, known from our adventures in 2020 as the STS, dashing about capturing as many images as we could. Here I decided to capture the incoming tide swirl around the rocks along the Elgol shore. These rocks eventually went under water as the tide rose. In the distance can be seen the snowcapped Cuillins.
I flew from Minnesota to spend a week with 4 friends/togs on a winter holiday on Skye. We even met up with and shot with SkyeWeasel for many of the days.
It was a great day out with friends.

Freezing conditions and a brisk westerly wind helps layer ice on this pier at Balmy Beach, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Conditions that I'd longed to experience on the Settle and Carlisle line, as the 2H90 13.18 Leeds to Carlisle approaches us.
Later we saw two northbound freights here in the sun - wonderful!
Best viewed 'large' so you can see the train!
Brutal shooting conditions on this particular visit to Botallack. Strong winds generated some nice water movement and drama within this particular scene. With a second lockdown coming into force towards the end of the week I spent a good few hours shooting and made my way back up the cliff once it was dark.
Great to also meet fellow Flickr friend Brian Spicer.
Thanks for viewing, take care and have a great weekend :-)
I’d been to this spot a number of times, but I’d never experienced conditions like this. Saying that I was excited for this to unfold would be a considerable understatement. As always, temperamental changing weather brought magic. This was the front end of a storm rolling in - the combination of still water, warm light breaking through the clouds, and haze/rain in the distance didn’t last long. After just a few minutes the wind picked up destroying the reflection - if you look close you can see the rain had already started when I captured this image.
Also, one of my favourite things about editing and reviewing images is finding the little details I missed when I was shooting. If you look close on the right hand side of the image you’ll see a fellow camper in awe of the scene unfolding as well. I had no idea he/she was in this scene when I shot it - I was too excited about the conditions! I still have no idea who this is, but I like to think it's someone I spoke to while camping there. Their body language really echoed how I was feeling in the moment frankly - just drop what you’re doing and get a look at this!
Blizzard conditions at sunrise in Derbyshire's Peak District National park. Waiting in the dark with extreme weather for the sun to rise, there was no sign of the cloud lifting, but I didn't give up hope. Just a few seconds of light was all I got and was all I needed to light up the blizzard.
