Wet outing with family to sunflower fields.. in the rain!
again I should not be surprised, the weather forecast said sunny
But it rained almost the whole two hours... but still I'm happy with the photos
The weather forecast in The Lakes was bleak so I decided to come here in the Peak District as it was half way to home. The water was low to see action in the drains but the autumn colours are gorgeous.
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week.

The forecast was for clear skies and it was the new moon, so I got up at 2am for this and was back in bed on the stroke of 4. Wifey was not impressed as it had been -3 degrees and I was chilled to the bone. Good to be out in the silent frosty night along with the other creatures such as the Barn Owl I drove past.
As you can see our part of the world is not the best for viewing the MW in April, if at all. Rather a weak showing, but hey, Scotland has other world class assets. The glow in the sky is probably the town of Peebles. I have other shots where I've lit the trig pillar in the photo but I preferred this one.
The forecast called for a cloudy, overcast day, and it was at the start of the day. Knowing that I had plans later in the day, I decided to go out and take my shot of the day. When I got near the edge of the Bay, I was lucky to have the clouds opened up a little just in time for to let the sun out. Probably wouldn't have gone out, if it wasn't for the
13/365 4/215
That's got to be the best visual weather forecast I've seen, forecast for tomorrow morning is wind gusting to 50 mph, heavy rain, the potential for thunderstorms, maybe some hail!
Caithness, Scotland.
Forecast was good so we were up bright and earlish, in time to head out for a coastal walk. Starting at Port St Mary, down to Spanish Point with views over to the Calf of Man, then rounds the headland and up to Port Erin. A short diversion to have a look at Bradda Head Tower before cutting back inland to complete the 12 mile circuit back to Port Erin.
The weather forecast looked promising so I got up early to shoot sunrise. But to my surprise, the sun was never to be seen. I never thought the weather forecast could be THAT wrong!

With sunny conditions forecasted, it was time to cross the border from Austria to Italy. Unfortunately, the town and surrounding area of Mezzocorona and Trento was filled with human induced air pollution, which blocked the sun's rays and with little wind, the air pollution could not disperse.
Anyway, a slight breeze did pick-up from 13:00, which lifted some of the air pollution enabling some photography to be done. Here we see Rail Traction Group / Lokomotion engine EU43-001 rounding the curve in Mezzocorona on the afternoon of the 20/2/23 with a mixed freight enroute towards Trento and beyond.
Yesterday, 30 August 2021, I decided, after seeing rain in the forecast for a few coming days, to do a long drive NE of Calgary, to the Badlands. Knowing that it was getting dark earlier and earlier in the evenings, I knew that I was running out of days on which I would be able to do these long drives. My main destinations to call in at were south of Drumheller.
I had longed to go out there for so many years. It must have been 30+ years ago that I first saw one particular area of the Badlands of Alberta. A few times, I had been fairly close when I went on several botany trips out that way, but when you are carpooling, you can't just go wherever you want. So, on 29 September 2014, my youngest daughter and I decided that we both wanted to make this trip. Since then, I believe I have only driven that way once more, on 5 August 2019, until my trip yesterday. I was out for nine hours and much of that time was actual driving. The further east I went, the more I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere.
Amazingly, the weather was good, with blue sky most of the time. It still seems strange to see blue sky and not overcast and smoky from the British Columbia wildfires. I think the temperature got up to about 28C, so not unbearably hot.
The first thing I photographed was a rather attractive moth, resting next to my front door outside. It may have been the moth that I had photographed earlier, on my bathroom ceiling.
About half way on the drive, I drove several back roads to take another look at an old barn I fell in love with last winter, while searching for a Snowy Owl. I was shocked and saddened to find no sign of the old barn except for a pile of wood that had collapsed or been pulled down. Maybe it was becoming dangerously unsafe in the farmyard?
Feeling somewhat 'down', I continued on my way and eventually stopped to take a handful of photos of this fine church. It seems so out of place on the prairies. The church building, inspired by a typical Danish church, was finished in 1936, though there has been a church on this site since the first settlers arrived in Dalum in 1918.
Two new-to-me grain elevators were enjoyed and quickly photographed. It's not very often that I find one that I have never seen before.
A couple of times, I stopped to take a few photos of wild Sunflowers that were growing at the edge of gravel roads. An attractive moth was at rest on one of the flowers. Insects seem to really like these bright and cheery wildflowers.
It was a pleasant surprise to discover that there were not a lot of people at the Hoodoos. I have been there when there were endless crowds of visitors all over the place, making it difficult to take photos, and to find a parking spot. These natural "works of art" are so beautiful and interesting.
Driving further south, I stopped at one of my favourite places - an old almost-ghost town. Here, there are two lovely old country churches, old barns, old cars and tractors/farm equipment. Also, a very old, extremely weathered grain elevator that lost its roof in a storm a few years ago. Such a shame that it has never been replaced. I love the Badlands setting for this prairie sentinel.
A final place to call in at was The Last Saloon, where I bought some Sweet Potato Fries 'to go'. This is a very popular place, including with motorcyclists.
Having left home in the morning a few minutes after 9:00 am, I finally reached home about 6:00 pm, happy and tired out. A great day, full of lots of things to see. Though they were all familiar, they are always fun to see and photograph again. Hope to get in a few more drives in the next three or four weeks, before the snow arrives and stays on the ground for seven months! Where did the summer go?!
with cooler weather forecast for the next week this could be my last one for at least four months. October 11th 2015
The weather in Los Angeles has been unusually hot this summer and the forecast each day seems to be exactly the same--sunshine and clear skies--which is the complete opposite of what I like to shoot. As a result, I've used the last month to go through my archived photos of the previous year to both check on my progress and find gems I'd either never gotten around to reviewing or simply forgot about.
After thinking about it off and on for a while, I finally made the decision to drive to California with the dog in early November, giving me roughly a month to close down my business, pack up my belongings and make sure the car was cross country ready.
Our road trip began on December 14th but our last evening of photography prior to leaving came on the 6th. My car was heading into the shop the following morning and my intention was to leave as soon as the repairs were completed. I had planned to head to a few locations that had become my regular spots for sunsets but never made it to any of them. While driving through Taneytown, MD, I came over a hill and was started by the unbelievable sky in front of me me. I pulled off the road and shot here until all color and light had disappeared. Until today, I had completely forgotten about one of the most incredible skies I've ever seen.

Yesterday was a cold, snowy, dreary day and getting a good photograph just was not in the forecast. So, I just did the best I could...this little winding road with the snow on each shoulder just happened to catch my eye a few days ago and so, here it is.
Three bracketed photos were taken and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS5.

There was a forecast for auroral storms due to the arrival of the effects of a Cornal Mass Ejection from the sun. So I drove out to Cleary Summit the first pass of the White Mountains NE of Fairbanks.
There were at least 20 other folks who did the same thing as it was a bit crowded at the turn off.
I was hoping for some color, but the aurora was a bit mild, but obviously present.
It is calendar time of year. Please look into my web site: www.budsalaskaphotos.com and order up my 2013 calendar with 30 or so photos of Alaskan wildlife and landscapes.
GBRf 66764 escapes the thick cloud hanging over East Anglia as it leads the 6E88 Middleton Towers to Goole Glassworks sand train. With a promising forecast across the Fens (bright skies from mid morning onwards), a final trip for 2022 was planned on the winter solstice. Clearly the weather forecasters had already left for Christmas as heavy rain and cloud dominated the weather until nearly 3pm! Sunshine finally appeared here at Oldeamere with minutes to go before this working. However, the sun started dipping again at just the wrong moment, creating this heavily cropped version. (Photo taken with pole)
The Slate-Colored Dark-eyed Junco has appeared here, but we are still experiencing warm spells. There was a brief snow shower about two weeks ago, but no real snow yet.
Window Wednesday
In the Spring the sunrises through the front door of my home. We got a little sunshine this afternoon, and the temperature hit 61°F.
Weather forecasts looking good for the week, summer may finally be here!
But I'm still working my way through the avalanche of photos that has landed on me in the last week, and might not get to see any sunshine as i'll be busy in the digital darkroom. I've had a photo-shoot of the island from a boat for a new client, fantastic wedding and the 'wight riveria' cycle event all to be processed with about 1000 shots to work through from each event.
So I found this one from a few weeks back to remind me what it looks like.

Flickr friend johnnycanuck asked me if the cloudless California skies I photograph as backdrop to my architectural subjects are the norm....the answer is yes but, in the interest of fairness and to make those less fortunate than myself feel better, I should say that we do have our stormy days (see above). Yes, that is a cable in the upper right (we have to watch TV when confined to our homes during these storms!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=teXOPAFMOp0
The forecast is snowy with 100% chance of amazing music as we kick off this week at our Siren's Winter Park!!!

Posted on April 1st ... (all fools day) ! It is of course a composite of the same tractor as he went up and down. Enjoy.

With all the crazy weather in the mid-west we were forecast to get 4-7" but it's just not materializing. What we have gotten so far is a big nothing burger. But temperature wise things are getting ugly - heading for below zero for lows over the next couple of nights. If I win the lottery I'll move to a warmer climate - but there is little to no chance of that happening.
Forecast storms saw us leaving earlier than usual to try our luck on the Darling Downs. Things developed more than expected, and after our shots at Aubigny we headed over towards Cecil Plains, and as it happened managed to drive between cells. This shot is between Aubigny and Nangwee. 6 January 2021.
