With a forecast for clear skies this weekend I couldn't resist a visit down to Dorset to try and capture the Milky Way.
I ended up at Portland Bill next to the lighthouse capturing this shot of the Pulpit Rock.
Pulpit Rock was intentionally left as a quarrying relic and was formed with religious associations; the large slab of rock leaning against the main stack depicted an open bible leaning on a pulpit. At the time of its creation, Portland had gained an influx of a variety of religious groups and active places of worship following the transformation of Portland Roads into a harbour of refuge. The related government works, such as the fortifications built to defend the harbour, along with the Royal Navy's increasing presence at Portland, resulted in large increases to the island's population.

Thank you so much for your visit!
Back to Trout Lake and an early morning frost on the Sunshine Coast. The weather called for a touch of snow on this day, which led to plenty of interesting candy coated trees. My thought on this shot was to use the red frost covered trees, to imitate a shadow, to the white frost covered trees. In turn, that would help give the illusion of dimension.
When I saw the ducks land and begin to swim, they turned and angled straight for my shot, as if it were planned. Perhaps it is true when they say, "luck favours the prepared".
Finding a moment of quiet serenity and a reminder that everything will be alright. This stone walled setting with its soft lamp , candles and flowers is the perfect spot for Fika , the Swedish pause for a coffee , a treat and appreciation.
The sign that says Everything is going to be OK , perfectly captures that feeling of comfort , calm and looking forward to a stress free moment ..
A moody day looking at North Cascade National Park's Diablo Lake. For some reason there weren't many folks here, enjoying the light rain. The silence was delightfully deafening.
Seems we photographers can no longer head out in July or August for good landscape shots in the Pacific NW. The air is unhealthy and smothers the scenic views with all the continual, chronic summer wildfires. For those who love experiencing nature's gifts this is heartbreaking.
Speaking of silence, that's how this planetary crisis is being addressed by those in power. Regardless of your take on climate change the facts and damage are undeniably right in front of us. It is agonizing witnessing this tragedy grow worse with each year.......We photographers get it, may the rest wake up and address it soon.
Stepping off my soapbox now. Enjoy your Wednesday!
Your comments, faves and suggestions are always appreciated. Thank you!

Checked the weather forecast last night and knew sunrise coincided with low tide. It looked promising so I set the alarm for 05:00.
Quick coffee and out of the door for 05:30 and the ride up the Wirral to Rock Ferry. I've not been for a long ride this lockdown other than to Chester and went the back route taking in Eastham, Port Sunlight, River Park and finally Rock Ferry. As it began to get light I could see the cloud was a dappled pattern with a sliver of clear sky beneath that was beginning to light up with colour. The slipway is aptly named so I walked down what can loosely be described as a beach.
I didn't see anyone except for a man who was paddling a kayak/canoe on an eerily calm River Mersey. He disappeared in the direction of Liverpool, past Tranmere oil terminal hugging the Wirral side of the river. No idea where he went and I didn't see him return in the hour or so I spent here.
When I got home I did a search for why these type of clouds form. You learn something new everyday.
Wiki entry.....
A mackerel sky is a common term for clouds made up of rows of cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds displaying an undulating, rippling pattern similar in appearance to fish scales; this is caused by high altitude atmospheric waves.
Taken about 10 minutes before sunrise.

At a recent campsite, morning light started around the corner and we had to wait our turn for any warmth of the sun to reach us. Until then, everything was wet with dew, which usually means a good forecast for the day to come: "When the dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass; When grass is dry at morning light, look for rain before the night."
Was forecast 100% cloud this morning so nearly stayed in bed, but seeing i was off work i took a chance and hey presto breaks in the cloud and plenty of them

...the weather forecast isn't always right ;-)
Paläon-Museum in Schöningen, Germany
The weather forecast had been for a sunny day for my first visit to the British Museum. I was hoping for a blue sky and some interesting shadows to be cast by the glass roof. Alas it was not to be although even on a dull day there were still some nice muted colours to be seen. The weather hasn’t been on my side just recently and I’m starting to develop a genuine fondness for “muted” (EM121499)
Ok it is still not may in germany. But I was crawling in my file archive from last year and found one of my usual "single-tree-images".
Just a symbol against the cold eastern weather :-)
On a decent forecast and with 5Z47 activated I made the move to sub zero Cumbria this morning for the second day of the LSL crew training runs.
Immaculate two-tone green LSL 47805 'Roger Hosking MA' was captured on the approach to Grayrigg loops, running 10E.
Not the planned shot and never done anything here before but by following the Beck this angle opened up.

This is Gracie Jo, the semi-feral cat we are trying to coax indoors. Today's forecast was for a "wintry mix", lots of wind, etc. At lunch time, Gracie Jo ran pretty quickly to the back door (before I could take her food up to her heated area in the workshop), so it seemed like a good time to try whisking her inside. I got her into the laundry room without her biting or scratching me. Just about that time the wind picked up and the rain turned to sleet & I think Gracie Jo must have been okay with being inside for a little while.
The weather forecast all week had pointed to a good weekend, so my son & I planned a (long) daytrip to the Trossachs.
Our plan was to walk the Meall nan Tarmachan ridge: a circular route taking in the Munro of Meall nan Tarmachan.
But as can be seen from the shot (& the title), the weather didn't quite work out as we had hoped, with the cloud level stubbornly sticking around the 500-600m level. Thus we curtailed the plan to a sometimes soggy there and back up Meall nan Tarmachan (see shot in comments for 'visibility at the summit!).

After taking this shot i realised that the sign actually looks like an abstract painting of the landscape. Well, sort of.
Shot is taken at sunset in the forelands of the river IJssel near Olst.
I'm stuck indoors today, so here's one from the archives that I've just rediscovered. It shows the beautiful Konik ponies at my favourite nature reserve. It repays a viewing in large screen if you have the time.
The forecast showed that that on Wednesday there was going to be a good sunset and the sunrise of the following morning was also promising. Normally when I see that kind of forecast I check my shoot plans for the most promising option for the conditions and pick one or the other. Well recently we have had such bad conditions that I made the call to do both a sunset and a sunrise shot. If I was shooting in winter that plan would not be a problem with plenty of time between events but during July in Scotland set and rise are about 4 hours apart. At least I’m not in Norway!
So I find myself standing here on the beach near Kingsbarns on the north east coast of Fife waiting for the sunrise, having driven about a hundred miles had about an hours sleep since I was shooting the Kelpies at sunset, and wondering to myself ‘WTF? Am I mad?’. Well the answer is probably yes but at least whilst I was there I did manage to get a few decent images that I’ll be posting over the next few weeks. I hope it was all worth it.
I didn't expect to take any photo's on this day as the rain was heavy and the monotone sky lacked drama. Thankfully the weather improved mid afternoon. The light produced looked amazing.
Looking down the length of Ullswater from Pooley Bridge
Despite the pessimistic forecast, the Cumbrian Coast was totally clear from mid afternoon until sunset, which was ideal today as both the monthly test train and an extra Heysham flask service was operating. 37116 is seen doing the honours again, this time at Holmegate Farm, working 1Q47 Derby - Carlisle. 37421 was on the rear. I had not been to this location for some years, since the 37's finished on passenger workings. In that time, both lines have been relayed with CWR, and the familiar sound of wheels over jointed track is a thing of the past, at this location at least.

Slight morning fog, remnants of yesterdays fire, some clouds and sunny spells, and many more bombs are expected in Aleppo.
Ambition and an MSC cruise ship in harbour in St Georges, Granada. Through the morning rain clouds came over with more rain in the afternoon as well.
Today's Forecast: Blistering Heat and Bone-Dry! Chances of this dry stream bed filling with water: Less than nil.
I had the questionably good fortune of spending a night camping in my vehicle in this foreboding and forsaken landscape. Nothing stirred during the day (except I did spot a lizard). After sunset, however, the desert came to life. I heard various types of critters making noises throughout a rather sleepless night.
