standing out from the crowd

Fast moving clouds caused this atmospheric optical effect to last less than a minute. The brilliance and colors could not be adequately imaged.

A good cg lightning strike from an isolated cell.

For three hours prior to sunset, this isolated storm produced at least a tornado and 2 inch hail to my north and east. By the time sunset occurred is was approaching Sidney, Nebraska with lots of fire and numerous thunderheads. More to follow.

Loin des sépultures célèbres,

Vers un cimetière isolé,

Mon cœur, comme un tambour voilé,

Va battant des marches funèbres.

- Maint joyau dort enseveli

Dans les ténèbres et l'oubli,

Bien loin des pioches et des sondes ;

Mainte fleur épanche à regret

Son parfum doux comme un secret

Dans les solitudes profondes.

Charles Baudelaire

Free english translation

Far from famous graves,

Towards an isolated cemetery,

My heart, like a veiled drum,

Go beating funeral steps.

- Maint sleeps buried jewel

In darkness and oblivion,

Far from picks and shovels;

Many flowers epanche with regret

Its sweet scent like a secret

In deep solitudes.

Charles Baudelaire

I think this acorn is from a red oak and accidentally found its way here from USA so it sits on the mantle-piece as a curiosity. There are some red oaks in UK but they aren't a native species.

This is the most isolated ski lodge on Ben Lomond. But what a majestic location!

PERSONAL NOTE:

I'm glad to report that yesterday, for the first time in nearly five weeks I got out for a photo walk with camera. They were a series of street shots around town taken with my Leica D-Lux 7. It's certainly fun to get back to processing photographs again. I'll post them after this short series concludes.
