Wednesday’s forecast promised crystal-clear skies, and I couldn’t resist the call of this magical spot. As soon as I saw it, I jumped into action, pulling together a last-minute plan for a return visit.
Even with an early start, rush hour traffic had other ideas, and I arrived later than planned. Scouting quickly became a race against time, but thankfully, my previous visit gave me a solid head start. After exploring a bit, I found a couple of spots perfect for capturing the #milkyway rising verticalling and framed against the southern horizon.
This shot is a 5x5 35mm pano, capturing one of the smaller ponds around #lakeninan—a serene reminder of how patience and planning can lead to magic.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Just a standard summer day in Glasgow - enjoy!
The forecast said that the day would be cool and foggy, so we made what turned out to be the right decision to head for higher ground, and were fortunate to find the sunshine on the top of Exmoor above the hamlet of Stoke Pero for my first 'proper' photoshoot of the year! Conditions were fantastic with the mist/fog rolling in and out all afternoon. This fogbow - the first I've seen for many a year - persisted for more than an hour.

Can we really trust a meteorologist?
Have a great Sunday dear friends.

The forecast was for a mix of sun and clouds, but it was a bluebird day as far as we were concerned. We've done this scramble many times, but never tire of it. We walked around 6.5 km's return distance, gaining, with all the ups and downs 769 m's of elevation, taking 4 hours to do so.
The forecast warned of rain. As the afternoon wore on the first signs of rain appeared on the horizon. The quality of the light changed making for moody pictures. Not sombre; but clam, quiet, peaceful.

All week the weather forecast had predicted a glorious sun from 6am onwards, then it hinted at clear skies, followed by clouds and then back to clear. We stuck to our game plan and Eddie duly arrived on my doorstep at 3:45am as planned. We quickly swapped cars and headed off... the sat nav pre-programmed the night before (up here for thinking , down there for dancing... you know what I'm like). Not much traffic on the roads at this time of a morning apart from heavy goods keeping the shoppers happy.
We passed over a bridge we didn't know and drove past a ship we couldn't see. Still we were on course and arrived at the beach car park just as the sat nav had predicted - I usually make at least one wrong turn on our travels so this was a first. However, the car park appeared to be locked but it pays to check and on closer inspection they were just badly aligned and leaning so with a bit of heaving and pushing we managed to prize them apart and squeeze the car through. A quick change of shoes for wellies and we were on our way to the beach.
Now those that have visited before will know you have to cross over the dunes before you see the lighthouse and on first sight the vista was not as one would have hoped. Although we were an hour ahead of sunrise, a band of light sat between the horizon and one solid bank of motionless cloud mocking us as it deliberately bisected our intending shots. My first hour of shooting produced nothing worthy of processing and posting. Only with the imminent arrival of the sun from behind the Wirral peninsula did the cloud give in and start to disperse.
What had started as a potentially disappointing trip out was beginning to show signs of hope and excitement. We both quickly moved location, set-up again and clicked away. This is my second frame as the cloud began to break with the rising sun, still not visible on the horizon, under lighting and warming the sky. I began to dream of our changing fortune and hoped...
Forecast Sydney weather this week:
Cloudy. Very high (near 100%) chance of rain. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds south to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h tending south to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h before dawn then increasing to 25 to 40 km/h in the morning. Large and powerful surf conditions in the evening are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing. S20N_877
Another shitty forecast today which ended up doing the exact opposite of what was said. Weather was forecast sunshine and cloud all day, clearing out late evening to clear skies for the night.. well it actually rained the entire day, no sun at all in Carlisle. St Bees however was sunny all afternoon from dinnertime through till early evening, and it looked like it was going to clear out like it had been said so. Having seen 68007 and 68023 go in to Sellafield last night and seeing the quadruple allocated to 6C46 on TOPS, I made the effort to go out for tonight's working in the hope that the TPE one was leading and based on the forecast it looked promising. Well I got there and arrived at my spot in full bling, stood there for an hour or so in sun, then at about 7pm a change of wind direction just pushed all the blue sky out to sea, as you can see towards the right of this shot. Along with the sun went my hopes for a decent shot. In fact, by the time this passed, it was at the darkest it had been all day and the sun was never to be seen again. Claps of thunder and hail showers were rolling in as this passed but it had to be recorded nonetheless.
The weather forecasting has been an absolute shambles in the last two weeks and I've spent nearly all day every day venturing out, doing so much walking that my feet have blistered and still not got anything to show for my hard work. I can only try again going out every day until I get something.
Window Wednesday(s)
It was quite damp out there today! I haven't taken a photo out of the front door in a long time; it's been too cold, but today, it got into the 50s, so it was warm enough.

After the heavy rain we are receiving strong winds

Wind Forecast on the weather this morning, looking at the sky i think they might be right! Some amazing colours in that sky!
Despite what the weather forecast said, it should have been a lovely day: bright blue sky, stunning sand, sparkling waters, fabulous city skyline backdrop: even a pirate ship. Instead he lay there freezing his nuts off, amongst the odd snowflake, pale skin and ginger hairlets only partially concealed by tartan boxer shorts that appeared to be two sizes smaller than required. His pirate ship, The Black Pearl lay in tatters, shredded on the shore by several winter storms. All chance of escape or rescue had perished long ago. Now the Irish had raised their flag on one of the masts, and having gained EU funding were now in the process of restoration with a view to launching the first ecologically sustainable wooden space craft mission to Mars. Ah well, he thought, might as well just lie on the beach forever and hope something better turns up one day. Afterall, it's not his fault the world has gone insane. Who knows what will come his way? Nothing has been planned.
A few days ago we had snow on deck for the Sunday forecast at lower elevations. Plenty of precipitation and the temperatures were supposed to dip below freezing, but just barely. As is often the case, the snowflake has turned into a more familiar rain cloud....bummer.
I really hope we get snow in Portland this winter. I know I can head east and get all the snow I can handle, but the city just looks so pretty under a fresh coat.

Despite the forecast the sun was out for much of the day between MacTier and Parry Sound, ON. There was little southbound traffic in the area after CP114 went through, but I hung around town and passed the time shopping until the CP112 appeared on the radar. I was happy to see the fresh paint and made a beeline to this site for the intercept. Thankfully it was late in the afternoon and the CN northbound trains were at the crossover, which caused enough of a delay for me to get down to the lake.
I have to say *thank goodness* for the fresh paint on some of these CP locomotives! Having something bright to contrast against the darker backgrounds makes a big difference, in my opinion. It's not much fun when there's an eyesore in the picture and it's the lead locomotive.
CSX rear-remote.
I heard a 7400 was heading up late in the day too!

The forecast for this morning was clear and sunny but obviously nobody told Rothley about it...
British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 sounded (& looked) great as it accelerated away from the 10mph limit out of Rothley station with the 10.00 ex-Loughborough Santa Express to Leicester North.
The weather forecast said strong winds and sun. So I had to go to the coast and shoot some waves. Fortunately I had brought water proof clothing, because I didn't always get away from the splashes in time...
Here's a shot of what it looks like when a wave recedes at the same spot:

Weather forecast said it would be clear this morning, so I had an early rise. Leekstermeer (Lake Leek) 16-02-2018, near Groningen, The Netherlands. Fuji X-T2, 10-24mm f/4. 25 sec. f/11 10mm. ND gradient hard edge 0.9 (3stops) + ND reversed gradient soft edge 0.9.
The weather forecast was for a very warm day, and so we decided to attempt Loder Peak, hoping the winds would not be crazy like they usually are. Magic! Hardly a breath of wind, but man was it hot! Our GPS misbehaved, and we don't have a track for this one, but this trail is about 7 km's return distance walking, gaining about 770 m's, and this time we took about 5 hours.

Happy rest of the week all!
FORECAST: HEATWAVE UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND!
I just hope no wildfires develop!
Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
Using a model similar to what meteorologists use to forecast weather and a computer simulation of the physics of evaporating ices, scientists have found evidence of snow and ice features on Pluto that, until now, had only been seen on Earth.
Formed by erosion, the features, known as “penitentes,” are bowl-shaped depressions with blade-like spires around the edge that rise several hundreds of feet.
The research, led by John Moores of York University, Toronto, and done in collaboration with scientists at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, indicates that these icy features may also exist on other planets where environmental conditions are similar.
The identification of these ridges in Pluto’s informally named Tartarus Dorsa area suggests that the presence of an atmosphere is necessary for the formation of penitentes – which Moores says would explain why they have not previously been seen on other airless icy satellites or dwarf planets. “But exotic differences in the environment give rise to features with very different scales,” he adds. “This test of our terrestrial models for penitentes suggests that we may find these features elsewhere in the solar system, and in other solar systems, where the conditions are right."
The research team, which also includes York’s Christina Smith, Anthony Toigo of APL and Scott Guzewich of Goddard Space Flight Center, compared its model to ridges on Pluto imaged by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft in 2015. Pluto’s ridges are much larger – more than 1,600 feet (about 500 meters) tall and separated by two to three miles (about three to five kilometers) – than their Earthly counterparts.
“This gargantuan size is predicted by the same theory that explains the formation of these features on Earth,” says Moores. “In fact, we were able to match the size and separation, the direction of the ridges, as well as their age: three pieces of evidence that support our identification of these ridges as penitentes.”
Moores says though Pluto's environment is very different from Earth’s -- it is much colder, the air much thinner, the sun much dimmer and the snow and ice on the surface are made from methane and nitrogen instead of water -- the same laws of nature apply. He adds that both NASA and APL were instrumental in the collaboration that led to this new finding; both provided background information on Pluto's atmosphere using a model similar to what meteorologists use to forecast weather on Earth. This was one of the key ingredients in Moores’ own models of the penitentes, without which this discovery would not have been made.
Forecast said sun later. I will have to go back for this shot with sun - some of my rout was not for wet weather - quite sloppy with mud or grass at a steep angle. The road to Buttertubs in the distance
Hera and I imagined ourselves differently :-|
The weather forecast reported sun!
And for that I buttoned Hera 30 little buttons on this stunning dream dress!

We had rain forecast for the evening, so I headed to San Jose Japantown, located in the heart of Silicon Valley. The rain did not come, nevertheless it was fun strolling through Japantown with camera and tripod. I thought this discontinued gas station and restaurant in the back makes for a good composition.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photos from three RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
