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!
Changeable certainly sums up the prevailing weather conditions on the Isle of Skye. I took this whilst walking back to the Cottage we rented last November. The squally showers and fleeting sunlight across the Island of Rona and Sound of Raasay with the Western Mainland of Scotland in the distance.
These conditions, whilst often challenging, make this Island such a great place for landscape photography when coupled with the stunning array of locations it has to offer in a relatively small area.
The Cottage we had was nestled above the Bay you can see here with the stunning headland of Brothers Point just jutting out into the middle distance. It is memories like this that have me wishing I was heading back there soon!
Photographing a lighthouse just after stormy conditions is one thing, photographing the Ornsay Lighthouse after a storm passed on over a much forgotten part of the Isle of Skye with snow capped mountains as the backdrop was just something else!
Designed by engineers Thomas and David Stevenson, Isle Ornsay Lighthouse was established on 10th November 1857 and for all these years until the decline of steamers from the mainland of Scotland has continued, albeit in lower numbers, to protect shipping in and around the sleat peninsula.

To say its picturesque is an understatement, Isleornsay and Ornsay Lighthouse is simply breath taking and I'm so very surprised that its not covered or featured more heavily by photographers, in fact perhaps that's the very reason it isn't.
There are honey pot locations and then there are locations like Isleornsay.
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.

DBC Class 60 no 60044 at Collingham in horrible conditions with the morning's Lindsay to Kingsbury Tanks.
Challenging conditions with crazy winds and splashing waves made for a crazy shoot along Saint Mary Lake in Glacier National Park. No matter what the conditions are this place is off the hook and I can't wait to go back!
A memorable evening at Elgol where conditions were constantly changing as Storm Dennis barreled across the Isle of Skye. We were treated to ever changing conditions, including a rising tide, gale force winds, driving rain, hail pellets, snow, grey skies, broken clouds, flat light which was often quickly followed with moments of gorgeous golden hour light.
We were a group of 7 togs dashing about capturing as many images as we could, in conditions we had only dreamed of before. For some reason, a majority of us eventually ended up at the JCB (Joe Cornish Boulder) . . . fortunately we all ‘played well’ together and sharp elbows were rarely needed. In the distance can be seen the snow capped Cuillins.
I flew from Minnesota to spend nearly a week with 5 friends/togs on a winter holiday on Skye. I even got the opportunity to meet and shoot with SkyeWeasel.
This was the end of my first day on Skye, as I was walking back to the car in darkness I thought to myself how lucky I was!

Given favorable atmospheric conditions, sunrise at Paradise can be stunning and double that when it’s peak fall colors as it was the first weekend in October. An explosion of autumnal color carpeted the Paradise landscape in fiery reds, yellows and oranges – it was sensory elation but manic when trying to zero in on a composition so I settled on this view. While the morning sun bathed the face of Mount Rainier in soul-tingling light , the autumnally painted ridge in this image would remain in shadow until the sun rose higher – but by then the special light on the mountain would be long gone. There’s a waterfall coming through that gulch down into Edith Creek basin – hidden in this image. Earlier I had scouted the Golden Gate trail to see whether I could include that waterfall but I couldn’t get Mount Rainier placed compellingly in the background. Since that didn’t work out I planted myself along Skyline trail to get this image. I originally had the entire mountain in frame but the foreground meadow had too many random clumps of vegetation and trees, so I opted to crop for a tighter shot later. There had been some fresh snowfall during the past week so the mountain looked less bare.

Beautiful atmospheric conditions on an autumn morning in the Lakes District from a drone's point of view
Conditions de prises de vues très diificiles dans cette cathédrale, peu de lumière.
L’orgue de la cathédrale Saint-Bertrand de Comminges possède l’un des plus beaux buffets Renaissance conservé à ce jour et classé Monument Historique depuis 1840. Commandé par Jean de Mauléon, évêque du Comminges, il fut réalisé après l’achèvement des stalles du chœur en 1551.
Comme les stalles, ce buffet serait l’œuvre de Nicolas Bachelier, architecte et sculpteur français (1487 – 1556) à qui l’on doit, entre autre, le célèbre Hôtel d’Assézat à Toulouse.
Le nom du facteur et la composition d’origine de l’instrument nous sont inconnus. Il subira de nombreux avatars au cours des siècles et, en 1793, les tuyaux de montre seront fondus et l’instrument abandonné.
De l’instrument Renaissance enfermé dans ce buffet, il ne reste rien. Pour imaginer en quoi pouvait consister l’instrument commandé par Jean de Mauléon, évêque du Comminges, on en est réduit à formuler des hypothèses, en se référant d’une part à la composition connue d’orgues de cette époque, à la structure du buffet, et d’autre part, à la littérature pour clavier éditée autour des années 1550. Les parties les plus anciennes (2 sommiers de grand orgue de 48 notes et deux petits sommiers de pédale, plus quelques jeux anciens, bourdons et flûtes) remontent aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.
Bernard Raupp, facteur d’orgues à Mirande, a retrouvé des dessins sur des soupapes des sommiers de grand orgue, qui peuvent être attribués à Jean-François Lépine. Le reste résulte des reconstructions successives menées au cours des siècles suivants.
En 1896, les frères Magen reconstruisent l’orgue et livrent un instrument à 2 claviers et pédale.
En 1970, Robert Chauvin restaure les sommiers du Grand Orgue, puis sous la direction de Pierre Lacroix, la reconstruction de l’instrument actuel est confiée à Jean-Pierre Swiderski et réalisée en plusieurs tranches, de 1975 à 1981. À l’exception de 218 tuyaux du XVIIe siècle et de 243 tuyaux de Magen, la tuyauterie est entièrement neuve. Réalisée à la demande, elle a été harmonisée par Jean-Pierre Swiderski pour les jeux de fonds et Georges Lhôte pour les jeux d’anches. L’instrument conserve encore deux sommiers de 14 jeux au Grand Orgue et deux sommiers 4 jeux à la pédale remontant au XVIIe siècle.
Depuis 1974, la commune de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, propriétaire, a délégué ses pouvoirs à l’Association des Amis de l’Orgue de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, en vue de la restauration et de l’entretien de l’instrument.
Very difficult shooting conditions in this cathedral, little light.
The organ of the Saint-Bertrand de Comminges cathedral has one of the most beautiful Renaissance cases preserved to date and classified as a Historic Monument since 1840. Commissioned by Jean de Mauléon, bishop of Comminges, it was made after the completion of the stalls of the choir in 1551.
Like the stalls, this buffet would be the work of Nicolas Bachelier, French architect and sculptor (1487 – 1556) to whom we owe, among other things, the famous Hôtel d’Assézat in Toulouse.
The name of the maker and the original composition of the instrument are unknown to us. It will undergo many avatars over the centuries and, in 1793, the watch stems will be melted down and the instrument abandoned.
Of the Renaissance instrument enclosed in this case, nothing remains. To imagine what the instrument ordered by Jean de Mauléon, bishop of Comminges, could consist of, one is reduced to formulating hypotheses, by referring on the one hand to the known composition of organs of this period, to the structure of the buffet, and on the other hand, to keyboard literature published around the 1550s. in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Bernard Raupp, organ builder in Mirande, found drawings on the valves of the windchests of the great organ, which can be attributed to Jean-François Lépine. The rest is the result of successive reconstructions carried out over the following centuries.
In 1896, the Magen brothers rebuilt the organ and delivered an instrument with 2 keyboards and pedal.
In 1970, Robert Chauvin restored the windchests of the Grand Orgue, then under the direction of Pierre Lacroix, the reconstruction of the current instrument was entrusted to Jean-Pierre Swiderski and carried out in several stages, from 1975 to 1981. With the exception of 218 pipes from the 17th century and 243 pipes from Magen, the pipework is completely new. Produced on demand, it was harmonized by Jean-Pierre Swiderski for the back stops and Georges Lhôte for the reed stops. The instrument still retains two 14-stop windchests in the Grand Orgue and two 4-stop pedal windchests dating back to the 17th century.
Since 1974, the municipality of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, owner, has delegated its powers to the Association of Friends of the Organ of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, with a view to the restoration and maintenance of the tool.
Cold wind, fog, and drizzle are certainly not the best conditions for a walk outside. But after having to spend a lot of time in the office over the past few days, I felt an urgent need for some nature around me yesterday.
And so, I spent a little over two hours exploring the area on the Czech side of the border.
This exploration also led me past this tree at a distance, which, standing out against the foggy background, immediately caught my attention.
The weather conditions were perfect for this type of photo.
However, the trip would have been worthwhile even without the photos I brought along. After all, being outside in nature is always worthwhile, at any kind of weather.
Kalter Wind, Nebel und Nieselregen sind mit Sicherheit nicht die besten Rahmenbedingungen für einen Spaziergangim Freien. Doch nachdem ich in den letzten Tagen viel Zeit im Büro verbringen musste, verspürte ich gestern das dringende Bedürfnis nach viel Natur um mich herum.
Und so habe ich für etwas mehr als zwei Stunden die Gegend auf der Tschechischen Seite der Grenze erkundet.
Diese Erkundung führte mich auch in einiger Enfernung an diesem Baum vorbei welcher, wie er sich so schon vor dem nebelverhangenen Hintergrund abhob, meine Aufmerksamkeit sofort für sich gewonnen hatte.
Denn für diese Art von Fotos waren die Wetterbedingungen optimal.
Der Ausflug hätte sich jedoch auch ohne die Fotos gelohnt, die ich mit gebracht habe. Denn draußen in der Natur zu sein lohnt sich eben immer. Bei jedem Wetter.

The conditions along the Oregon Coast were starting to get us down with the gloomy overcast, wind and on and off again rain. Then we came across these rocks with layers of sea salt turned orange pointing out to the sea stacks and sun breaking through the gloom. There is hope in just about any situation and in photography there is no such thing as bad light. One just needs to rise to the occasion!
Conditions have been very good this autumn for spotting lots of different fungi in our woodland and I came across this little cluster looking so fragile on the ground surrounded by fallen leaves. I am not sure what type they are but they do have a detain charm about them don't you think.
Conditions are not always favorable to see bears catching salmon. The first day plenty of bears were in the water but the fish were hiding downstream. The next day the fish ran, perhaps because it had rained overnight and raised the river. But now, first thing in the morning, there were no bears. After a few peaceful hours they arrived, twenty or so by afternoon, and began devouring the salmon. We heard forty bears came the next day, but it was pouring rain and we did not make the trip.

Beautiful light conditions on a drizzly morning late last year when we were out hiking with some friends. This heavily leaning tree reaches out to the trails, seemingly trying to greet the passing people.
At Trione-Annadel State Park.
I was out on Christmas eve in the misty conditions and came across the disappearing lines to a Pylon in the mist.
I have a single photo of the pylon out of shot,on right to upload another time.
A bit different i thought.
Hi Guys,
I'm back from an incredible vacation to the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park, Montana. We also visited the Pacific Northwest again on this trip. I had a great time and have many, many new images to share. Conditions were ideal for shooting, although a large forest fire was sparked by lightning just north of the Icefields Parkway while at the parks in Canada. Skies became hazy during the latter part of the visit, and as I understand there were road closures during parts of the day on the Icefields Parkway shortly after we left.
I hope everyone s doing well and I'll catch up with all of my contacts soon! This is a view of early morning reflections on Waterfowl Lake which is located on the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, Alberta. As always, thanks for the visits, comments and faves! :-)
An afternoon of challenging conditions, I got the briefest of gifts for my efforts climbing Cairn Gorm the interesting way via the Fiacaill Buttress. It's moments like these that are the cherry on top for me, The ridge in the distance is the route I took up. An enjoyable and exposed scramble in the Cairngorm National Park, Scotland.
The dawn view from Lambert's Castle (National Trust), Dorset acrosss the Marshwood Vale. With temperatures dropping below zero and clear nights the conditions were perfect for a carpet of fog as the the sun came up. The golden yellow colour being caused by the rising sun.
My favourite conditions, a massive temperature inversion due to a switch wot a warm southerly system, great sunrise, lovely golden light and a big storm cloud approaching. The only thing missing was a rainbow... This is a 5 x exposure 2 shot panoramic stitch. The only unpleasant thing was the 3.30am alarm call…

I took this from our living room window two years ago. There was so much snow that Ross went out to plow a path around the house so I could feed the birdies. We watched Die Hard and Die Hard 2 last week ( so good ) and each of them ended with this version of the song "Let it Snow" by Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra from 1945. - what a voice eh !
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTQqpYBHQ8
Let It Snow!", also known as simply "Let It Snow", is a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945 in Hollywood, California, during a heatwave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions.
no snow this year, only rain and wind.
This was the first of two days spent on the Conway Scenic Raileoad as part of a four day mini railfan vacation in Northern New England that would feature GP38s in glorious conditions...simply the kind of trip dreams are made of!
Instead of running all the way to Fabyans as in prior fall seasons, this year the Conway Scenic is running two daily round trips between North Conway and Crawfords with the addition of a third 'bus train' for passengers arriving by motor coach from Portland off a cruise ship as a day shore excursion. That means that now there are six trains running through the Notch every day with a scheduled meet at Bartlett and Sawyers River...it truly is astonishing and a joy to see this line so busy!
The returning 9 AM eastbound Mountaineer is passing the old granite milepost 62 as they climb Intervale Hill on the two mile tangent up from the truss bridge over the East Branch at the bottom of the hill. This spot was one of the most famous photo locations along the old Maine Central's Mountain Sub mainline because you could capture the entirety of a 100 car freight strung out as they climbed the grade. This is one of only two places where you can include Mount Washington with the train and on those rare clear days like this it is a sight to behold rising dramatically 16 miles away.
Located in the Presidential Range Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288.2 ft and the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River. The summit is probably most famous for having the highest wind speed ever recorded on earth (not associated with a tornado or tropical cyclone) of 231 mph recorded on April 12, 1934 by the observatory located there!
Leading the train are GP38s 255 and 252 which are right at home here having been built in November 1966 for the Maine Central Railroad as part of an order of 13 of the model which were the first batch of second generation diesel locomotives purchased by the road. They both regularly operated here for the first 17 years of their lives until the last thru freight ran in 1983 after Guilford purchased the MEC and shuttered the Mountain Sub. In fact 252 had the ignominious duty of leading the final YR-1 from Saint Johnsbury on September 2, 1983.
255 came to Conway Scenic in 2022 and wore her Vermont Rail System red paint until just this past June when she received this new 'old' dress. The VTR red was from her nearly two decade second career as Clarendon & Pittsford 203 after having being sold by MEC successor Guilford Transportation in the early 1990s. 252 meanwhile was the last of her class in service on Guilford, lasting more than three decades, and having seen her other dozen siblings retired and scrapped or sold. She came to Conway Scenic in March 2010 along with GP35 216 in a trade with Pan Am Railways for FP9s 6505 and 6516 that would become Pan Am's OCS power.

This time during our visit to Montana de Oro state park, I git excited as the sunset drew near. There were no signs of the ever-present summer fog, and as if my prayers had been answered, there was a good chunk of clouds in the sky. But as the golden hour began, the wind started to pick up and push the clouds inland. In this type of scenario, I usually panic and go for the first available spot to settle down and photograph. But thankfully, his time, I didn’t do that and instead decided to drive around to see what would happen.
This one hill seemed to be blocking the passage of clouds inland, and I knew the clouds would have some color on them come sunset. So while I hiked to the coast, I kept an eye on this small peak, and just as the sunset started, we had beautiful orangish pink colors on the clouds. Since I was paying attention, I got some shots when the light was at its best. While it's not the best composition, I loved this image's beautiful vivid colors.
Flying into rough conditions does not faze him when he knows that there are fish at the end of his journey.
Fabulous Winter Trees....
The Waterfalls at Hilton Falls Conservation area are amazing and fun to photograph in the best of weather conditions. In mid February was the first time Karen and I have been to the falls in the winter; mostly due to the three mile long trek in cold conditions and the slippery ice covered trail, which is better suited for snowshoes and cross country skis than my blundstones... (note to myself get some crampons or anti slip footwear next time) I only took one spill... landing hard on my posterior, other than my pride no real damage.
Even though the trip was slow and slippery it was well worth the hike. we got some great shots...
This shot taken on our way into the falls is of the walking trail; a wide, though icy and slippery swath cut through the forest. the groomed trail helps visitors to the park navigate through the terrain without endangering the public in this well travelled conservation area... The sun was hanging low on the horizon and squinted through the tree tops to form this beautiful sun burst as light splintered in all directions. such a glorious and fabulous sight.
On this trip we choose the main trail, as we know the ground off the groomed trail would be extremely dangerous in the deep snow. in the summer we have ventured through the off trail areas beyond the main path. it a rough terrain; full of steep mossy covered rocks and fallen trees, sharp stumps and loose rocks...some very deep holes and rocky crevices that could easily swallow and seriously injure the novice hiker..
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

Winter wonderland conditions at the Yorkshire Dales Railway as Lancashire and Yorkshire A Class 52322 takes the empty coaching stock to Bolton Abbey in readiness for the days " Murder Mystery Dining Train " running some 80 minutes late due to frozen points at Embsay. This would turn out to be the only out and return steam trip of the day as access to water for the engine was not possible.

Dawn near Lichfield, Staffordshire.
The beauty of Fuji Velvia is that you could get some really nice and vibrant colours from sunrises and sunsets. Getting the exposure right in such conditions was tricky though and, without the immediate feedback of digital, I'd have taken at least half-a-dozen shots (and probably more) bracketed at 1/3 stop intervals.
A full-frame scan, this image is as close as I can get to the slide.

With conditions like these you can't blame this chap for taking a selfie on the summit of Coniston Old Man. This view looks south and as can be seen the sea of cloud stretched to the horizon.
Great conditions at the Waddensea from the shore in Friesland. Playing with the constantly changing light and clouds is a real treat. In the background the Wadden island Ameland is visible with the lighthouse "Bornrif".
While the storm conditions prevented much color in the sunrise this morning, it still provided a dramatic backdrop at the always nice South Tufas.
Reminder that the Los Angeles DWP is keeping Mono lake artificially low below the state-mandated level and actively harming its ecosystems in order to supply only ~1-2% of just the city of LA's water supply. The city of LA uses ~30% of its water on watering grass lawns.

Quite difficult lighting conditions here, bright in the foreground but a little darker and hazy in the background, I think it’s come out ok though.
This is Bamford edge in the Peak District, it’s looking down on Ladybower reservoir. It’s certainly a lovely view and not too difficult to access, a bit of a uphill walk but only for 20 minutes or so.
Because so many people are not working at the moment in the uk there are a lot of people in the countryside and when you come somewhere like this you notice everybody doing selfies. To be honest when I’m out with my camera or phone the last thing I think of doing is a selfie, I think this view is far more attractive than my face😂😂😂.
For those interested in what the view is like from the reservoir looking up to Bamford edge check out one of my previous photos.
The number of sunrises in a lifetime is finite. Are you making the best of it?
Our second group of Africa Big Cats adventurers have been treated to some incredible conditions. Just in the past two days, we have captured elephants tussling, giraffes fighting, topis dueling, lionesses successfully hunting a warthog, two separate cheetah hunting attempts, three different leopards, not to mention thunder, lighting and a supercell-esque storm cloud! Definitely stay tuned for more pictures, better yet, join us in 2024!
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.
