Sitting here waiting to feed the dogs and do kennel work. Wearing my thigh highs, thong, mini skirt and cami top over my breast forms.
The night previously I heard about this 641 and even saw a few pictures of it. Rare to see a high hood up here and even more rare to see it leading solo. They made it into Milwaukee by night fall and by then I wrote it off as something that would have been cool to see.
Flash forward over 12 hours when my nap was interrupted by a phone call informing me that 641 had lights out of Pewaukee...and it was sunny...oh snap! I immediately knew where I wanted to catch them. The tense speed filled drive was all for naught as I made it with plenty of time to spare. This was an interesting combo; something I never imagined seeing...ever. But here it is. Interestingly enough this unit is in the process of getting a chopped nose now.

Incredibly high barometric pressure today, and indicating by the red numerals that these numbers are off the scale of flight altimeters. (1050.0 Mb).
Barometric pressure this high usually accompanies clear, calm and cold weather on the ground. At present it is clear and calm, but not unusually cold at -40F (-40C).
The audio report accompanying this image by the National Weather Service used the term CAVU which is an acronym for ceiling and visibility unlimited. I am delighted when this happens, I haven't heard that term used in a weather report for several years.
At this time, barometric pressure at my location (indicated by the red star) is 1045.9 mb and rising.
Both of those very high pressure centers are expected to go higher tonight.
The nest was very high up and towards the back of a dense stand of trees with a lot of underbrush. This shot is at full zoom but not as cropped as my close up shot. I took my shots from the jogging path. Very difficult to see, many sticks and branches in the way. Good nesting site choice for the owls. After a few photos I left her alone.

Thanks to Dallas Performance for letting me use this sick Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo in this shoot for Modulare Wheels.

Lab developed.
A cloud layer that formed in minutes, remained in place for te and then quickly disappeared as fast as it had appeared. I am wondering if there is more humidity here at altitude than 25 years ago? I seem to be seeing more cirrocumulus and cirrostratus than I did 25 years ago. Without a detailed long term survey here is no way of knowing.
High Falls in Clay County, Al. I have not been to High Falls in almost a year. The water flow was up and the midday sun brought out the translucent nature of the mountain water. 4 shot HDR.

High Roller is a 550-foot tall, 520-foot diameter giant Ferris wheel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States. Owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, it opened to the public on March 31, 2014 as the world's tallest Ferris wheel.
Did the drive to High Force, Co Durham today, to meet up with Anita for a day of practice and technique learning. Had a brill time, spent three hours just plotting, shooting and practising long exposure!
Oh yes, and enjoyed some homebaked chocolate cake at the end of the day!
BTW, I once read that this was the highest fall in England, but NO, despite popular belief, it is not, at 21.5 metres (70 ft), the highest waterfall in England: Cautley Spout, in Cumbria's Howgill Fells, is almost 180 metres (600 ft) high; and Hardraw Force, in North Yorkshire, has an unbroken drop of 30 metres (100 ft). - That's where I'm heading soon!!!
High Force was formed where the River Tees crosses the Whin Sill - the hard layer of igneous rock followed by Hadrian's Wall. The waterfall itself consists of three different types of rock. The upper band is made up of whinstone, or dolerite, a hard igneous rock which the waterfall takes a lot of time to erode. The lower section is made up of Carboniferous Limestone, a softer rock which is more easily worn away by the waterfall. Between these two layers is a thinner layer of Carboniferous sandstone, which was baked hard when the Whin Sill was molton 295 million years ago. The wearing away of rock means that the waterfall is slowly moving upstream, leaving a narrow, deep gorge in front of it. The length of the gorge is currently about 700 metres. The bedload (rocks that the river is carrying) is mainly composed of large boulders, which are rolled along the river bed. Upstream of the waterfall, the river is narrow; downstream, it widens and meanders.
The International Space Station passed over at 89 degrees elevation this evening. I grabbed a quick hand-held shot when I stepped outside by chance and noticed it approaching. I had my 600mm lens on the camera already, luckily.
