In Birmingham tonight the weather said we could expect snow! I wouldn't mind it making one last return!!
The forecast was for sunny intervals, so we headed along the winding single track road to the isolated village of Elgol on the Isle of Skye. We'd hoped we might be able to take a boat trip to Loch Coruisk but it turned out to be too windy for the boats to run. We headed for the rocky coast and waited for the sunny intervals - though these turned out to be rather fleeting - but the views across the loch to the mountains are still impressive and dramatic, whatever the weather.
The shot below was the most that the cloud cleared off the mountain tops.
The forecast was calling for clear skies but the skies I was looking at were anything but clear. If the forecast for Forster was wrong, what confidence could I have that the forecast for Port Macquarie would be right?
Despite my doubts I decided to lay my faith in the powers of weather apps and made my way to Tacking Point Lighthouse. Apparently the 'partly cloudy' status was moving to 'clear' at around 9pm so when I arrived at 11pm to the sight of clouds I was a little heart broken.
Fortunately things did look like they were moving in the right direction so I got to work at setting myself up ready and quickly discovered that the clouds weren't my only obstacle. Firstly - the moon was throwing glare into my lens which I resolved with a change of lenses. Apparently Nikons 16-35 f4 isn't victim to the same flare as Nikons 14-24 f2.8 is at 16mm (go figure). Next was my desire to shoot with two cameras but only one intervalometer. Than my missing XQD card, than...
In the end it all came together, my clouds cleared, my cameras worked and I retreated to the car with my blanket..
View large on black and, as always, thanks for looking.
Most of the time this was the typical weather while hiking through the high mountain plateau in Hadangervidda. The only exception here was that there was no heavy cold summer shower.
Thank you for all of your favorites and comments and don't hold back on constructive criticism since that is what truly makes us better photographers
54 degrees this afternoon, tomorrow morning forecast is for 9 degrees F with light snow and some wind. It has been a wonderful Fall season.
The forecast for today was a dark and dull one, but i took a risk to get some autumn photos in Brighton.
Here we see Brighton & Hove 677 (Elisabeth Howard) on Regency Route 29 to Tunbridge Wells via Lewes - Uckfield - Crowborough. 09th November 2011.
Full eclipse of the moon sequence on the night of Monday December 20th into Tuesday morning December 21st, 2010. Photographed from Heritage Eagle Bend, Aurora, Colorado.
The exposures vary all the way from a start of 1/800 sec at f16 down to roughly .6 sec at f5.6. I just looked at the LCD and tried to vary my exposure to get approximately the same or similar brightness. Hard to do in the middle of the night with lost sleep!
Sorry folks, I had to modify this a tiny bit and re-upload. This caused those who may have FAVed this image to lose it. Again sorry but I had a typo in my name that I had to correct.
We were supposed to have a cloud cover this evening but it never materialized. As a matter of interest, the forecast was for possible light spitting snow but I never saw that either. Was either too sleepy or it just bypassed us giving us this opportunity!
I only picked a few shots out of the full sequence. The entire group of photos was taken with a Canon 100-400 lens set at 400mm on a Canon camera with 1.3X multiplication viewfinder factor. A fun project but cold and sleepless!
Although the forecast was for a warm day, the wind gusts in the region were predicted to be as high as 50 km's per hour, so we elected to explore the more sheltered route to the Memorial Lakes above Kananaskis Village. Ordinarily, Larry and I do not separate on our scrambles, but Larry was keen to summit Bogart Tower, and I was concerned about the strong winds, as well as our lack of strong documentation of the exact route. So I let Larry go ahead, and took photos from ridge below the Tower.
CZJ Pancolar 50mm f1.8
Pancolar is really amazing lens with wonderful color rendition and sharpness.
Inside the Western Australian Art Gallery is a room, Forecast-"An invitation to feel. Find a place to rest, listen to the sky moving, notice the wind in the leaves, paint the trees in your family, Stay with them as they fade"
In conjunction with Edith Cowan University an interdisciplinary exhibition with an ecological, meteorological message. For more information: artgallery.wa.gov.au/whats-on/exhibitions/forecast-survey...
Further on there was a large exhibition of Aboriginal Artists and I got to meet a couple of them ( took their photo!).
The forecast for Thursday evening was looking promising, there was a predicted KP4 due to a CME and a cloud free sky, we thought this would be our big chance, finally a break in the weather so we could get to see the Northern Lights! We drove all the way to Kirkjufell (as the conditions were looking most favourable there) with the plan to camp in the car over night to give us the best chance of capturing a good image and then we could do sunrise in the morning and drive back to the hotel. This certainly was not the case!
Kirkjufell looks to most people to be a giant mountain with it's impressive silhouette, however at a tiny 463m, it is actually smaller than Mam Tor (for all you locals).
When we arrived, we couldn't even see Kirkjufell due to the low cloud, fog and snow storms. We kept our fingers crossed that it would clear up.... We got absolutely battered for most of the night by strong winds and heavy snow storms!!! Sunrise didn't exist, although I was able to capture some big stopper images from the water, making the most of the shore and snow lines. Who needs good weather eh?
To top it all off, we were warned by the locals to head back to Reykjavik as quickly as possible as a huge storm was going to hit Iceland within the next few hours, little did we know at that point, we'd be receiving a phone call from our hotel to our room informing us that whilst our car was parked 'safely' outside the hotel, a flag pole had blown over in the storms and landed on our car! I swear we can't go away without some kind of drama occurring! Suppose it wouldn't be an adventure otherwise!

Despite the weather forecast I headed up to Lake Pearson for a three days, and managed a couple of short walks between bands of rain. This photo needs no introduction to those from Canterbury, NZ, and is Castle Hill Station taken from the popular walk into the rocks area. Rain is falling in the peaks at the western end of Craigieburn Range, but thankfully the weather let me walk around the rocks with only the odd shower reaching me.

We are in for some wintery weather over the next few days. As is typical there won't be any sun so I did enjoy this lovely sunrise this morning.
Well Its #escaypeDay and I just realized i hadn't shared this image here. This is from last summer when we all ended up at this spot to shoot sunset.
With a weather forecast for unpleasant winds, I nearly never made it out the door to return to Death Valley this season. But ultimately I drug myself out and wow was I glad I did. Making my way north from the southern end of the park, I spotted a scene that stopped me immediately in my tracks, which was a vast river of purple flowers spilling out of a canyon in the Black Mountains and flowing down to the salt flat below. My previous experience with such spectacular blooms in Death Valley was a single visit in 2016 and rivers of purple were not something I recall from then. Out of nearly every canyon in the Black Mountains a purple river seemed to be flowing, and this particular canyon mouth and alluvial fan seemed to have the biggest. After looking at the flowers up close I continued on north but quickly realized that this was my best subject when the light would dip behind the Panamint Range to the west. I returned and to my complete surprise not only did a spotlight of light shine upon the alluvial fan but also on the foreground patch of desert sunflowers, with a shady stretch of salt flat in between. I frantically rattled off exposures and focus stacks as the light quickly changed. The purple this year was so new to me in this park. I recall just a small amount of them scattered on that one weekend in 2016, but they rivaled the desert gold sunflowers in the extent of their coverage. It is fascinating to imagine the billions of airborne seeds wafting up into the steep slopes of the Black Mountains, waiting to be washed down into the canyons and alluvial fans below with the right amount of rain. This results in the seeds being distributed wherever the water flowed, creating these fascinating and beautiful rivers of purple I will not forget. The purple flowers, phacelia crenulata, notch-leaf scorpion-weed perhaps in part earned their name by having a similar effect on people as poison oak when touched, but they were spectacular to behold.
The weather forecast for yesterday, 24 December 2019, did say that any fog would clear in the afternoon, but, trust me, it didn't. I made the huge mistake of driving east of the city in the hope of maybe finding a Snowy Owl. I only drove 100 km, then turned around and drove in dense fog back to the city, where the sun was shining. Talk about a white-knuckle experience! Visibility was down to maybe one power pole away. All I did was drive along three very short backroads, knowing that this particular tree would still be there, so that I would at least go home with a couple of photos.
On 5 January 2019, a similar thing happened to me, though I ended up driving 235 km in extremely dense fog. I took an almost identical photo of this tree on that day.
Forecast was a nice windless and sunny morning....the sun didn't show up, the wind did though...but well it's Holland...
In this case I didn't mind the lacking sun...
Forecast here is for the temp to go up from the AM temp of 4 C, to 20 or 24 C today. It is sunny and my squirrels are busy eating every peanut they can grab before the blue jays fly off with them. Pretty comical.
I had a request for a couple of photo ideas from my publisher yesterday, so today I am going to be making some new props and I hope my new babies are cooperative and interact in a "usable" way so they make it into the children's book we are working on.
Sorry to be missing so many great photos on flickr these days and thanks you all for your faithful visits and comments..I try to check in on a few different folks every time I log on...
Happy New Year to all!!
Let's all toast to a better year ahead! Be safe out there.
It doesn't sound like the year is going to start with good weather. Tomorrow's forecast is for 6-8 inches of snow with high winds, followed by some bitter cold temps. A real slap in the face after a warm December.
The weather forecast has been very much accurate ... the forecast indicated that our sunny weather would lessen and that rain would be, again, prominent, this week.
About ten minutes after taking this shot it did begin to rain and thankfully I was not too far from home. Fingers are crossed for my golf, tomorrow!!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
We are back into serious winter weather again! This morning, 7 March 2017, the temperature is -14C (windchill -23C), with snow forecast for tonight and the next four days. Apparently, March is our snowiest month.
I was looking at a folder of winter photos taken just over a year ago, on 3 January 2016, during a Nanton Christmas Bird Count. Thought I'd post another shot taken along this particular road, as this is one of my favourite views.
Some years, the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the town of Nanton is held late in December. Other years, it ends up being held early January, sometimes delayed because of really bad weather. The Count that took place on 3 January 2016, was part of the 2015 Bird Count.
As you can see, the weather was bright and sunny for us this day. What you can't see was that it was very cold for the first part of the day, then warming up to a more pleasant cold later on! I think it was -21C when we started. On the January 2014 trip for the 2013 Count, on the hour-long drive south of Calgary, we hit -34C (-29.2F)!!!!! Again, this year, there was no or very little wind, which makes all the difference. Also, the only walking we had to do was when we called in at various farms and acreages.
We drove through such beautiful scenery when we were covering the SW quadrant of the Christmas Bird Count circle that centered on the town of Nanton. A landscape over which the occasional Golden Eagle soars (we saw 5!) and in which some years - but definitely not this day! - numerous Sharp-tailed Grouse wander on the ground or perch in trees.
I think the highlight of the day, certainly for me, were all the beautiful Pine Grosbeaks that we saw. We had been told about a farm family who had lots of these Grosbeaks at their feeders, and we are so glad that we arranged to call in. We also saw a Gray Jay there, to add to our species list. My small group of 4 friends and myself, travelling in two cars, did see 5 Golden Eagles, too, which was a thrill, but they were way off in the distance and I couldn't get any closer photos
I absolutely love this area SW of Nanton! Some of these backroads (not this one) are extremely steep and almost look vertical when seen from a distance. Some years, the whole area is white, covered in deep snow, so that you can't tell where the roadside ends and the ditch begins. This Count, it wasn't too bad, thank goodness, though I might have felt differently if I had been one of the two drivers for our group!
Around lunch time, we returned to the Truch family's place as we happened to be very nearby, and ate our lunch in the warmth of their cosy home.
After driving (being driven, for me, which is always pure luxury) the backroads from about 8:00 a.m. till around 3:30 p.m., we returned to the wonderful home of the Truch family. Not only do Bill and Leah Truch and their son, Mike, always welcome everyone with open arms, they also provide a much-appreciated breakfast snack for us and then, at the end of the day, a delicious supper. Have to say that I love travelling these scenic backroads, but I also really enjoy getting together with everyone afterwards. This is one of my favourite Bird Counts, and perhaps the most favourite.
Just before leaving for Calgary at the end of the day, we were shown the family's Llamas, two Donkeys, Peacocks, and several tiny white Quail. I should have taken photos of these animals when it was daylight.
Thanks so much for doing all the driving, Tony and Andrew, and thanks, Leah, Bill and Mike for all the effort and time you put into your warm welcome! It was another well-organized Count, Mike, as usual - thanks.
On the weather forecast on national TV here in Norway, they have a photo competition every day. I use to have photos there now and then, but have never won the prize of the week...yet 😉 But it's a little fun to have my photos on TV anyway.
Today the theme was Football Weather, and I got to use this one from my latest confirmand photo shoot - and it won today's competition. Fun for the confirmand I guess, to be on national TV 😉
(And two days ago I found out that one of my bonfire self portraits by Eigerøy lighthouse was published on two pages of Norway's largest photography magazine. Fun!)
My album of portraits and people here.

Checked the forecast yesterday evening, looked promising for a nice sunrise. When I arrived this morning there was a thunderstorm approaching. Did get a nice sky though.
45596 bows out with a weekend working at the Great Central Railway.
Taking it easy at Kinchley Lane
Despite Saturday's forecast of full sun from sunrise to sunset, this was one of only a few workings to pass in full light.
Today the forecast was for rain so I took Amber off to the nearby fields and woods. It did rain a bit but not too bad. So just a couple of images for today the only bit of sunshine and a couple of my favourite tree.
I can forecast the weather and I am always accurate. I dabble in fortunes too. Come back tomorrow and have your fortune read.
I had a few days to shoot this when the tide was high enough. Looking at the forecast I chose the one where it was raining as it helped with the mood I wanted to create.

What it is really , a weather forecast every bit as accurate as the person on the television after the news . Whether it is the slate or the presenter with the fancy map with symbols and isobars , the weather at the moment is not doing as it is told . That sun and blue sky is proving rather elusive these days !!

The forecast for Jupiter is for stormy weather at low northern latitudes. A prominent string of alternating storms is visible, forming a ‘vortex street’ as some planetary astronomers call it. This is a wave pattern of nested cyclones and anticyclones, locked together like the alternating gears of a machine moving clockwise and counterclockwise. If the storms get close enough to each other and merge together, they could build an even larger storm, potentially rivalling the current size of the Great Red Spot. The staggered pattern of cyclones and anticyclones prevents individual storms from merging. Activity is also seen interior to these storms; in the 1990s Hubble didn’t see any cyclones or anticyclones with built-in thunderstorms, but these storms have sprung up in the last decade. Strong colour differences indicate that Hubble is seeing different cloud heights and depths as well.
The orange moon Io photobombs this view of Jupiter’s multicoloured cloud tops, casting a shadow toward the planet’s western limb. Hubble’s resolution is so sharp that it can see Io’s mottled-orange appearance, the result of its numerous active volcanoes. These volcanoes were first discovered when the Voyager 1 spacecraft flew by in 1979. The moon’s molten interior is overlaid by a thin crust through which the volcanoes eject material. Sulphur takes on various hues at different temperatures, which is why Io’s surface is so colourful. This photo was taken on 12 November 2022.
