Cwmorthin Quarry is a slate quarry west of the village of Tanygrisiau, north Wales. Quarrying on the site started in 1810. In 1860 it was connected to the Ffestiniog Railway. In 1900 it was acquired by the nearby Oakeley Quarry and the two were connected underground. In 1970 it closed along with Oakeley. There was small scale working in the 1980s and 1990s, the mine finally closed in 1997. LLyn Cwmorthin. 1/2
Early morning spring shadows heading out of the small South Island town of Glenorchy, New Zealand towards Mount Aspiring National Park. Looming directly ahead is Mount Earnslaw (Pikirakatahi) the 15th highest in New Zealand at 2,830 metres or 9,250 feet.
Taken on a misty morning at Whiteleaf Cross, Buckinghamshire, just adored the overhang on this majestic tree.

Part of an exhibit about Anatolian, Persian, Indian, Cairene (Egyptian) and Spanish carpets. It contains many fine pieces, but I was most surprised to learn about Pleasure Tents, which are comprised of various woven elements, including airy screens.

Lenticular clouds can mean different things in different places. These lenticular clouds signal an approaching front. Heavy rain arrived within hours of taking the photo which shows the road along Lake Ohau leading into Hopkins Valley, Southern Alps, New Zealand.
Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand
Enjoy a view of the Seattle skyline on Christmas Day.
At first, the scene appeared to be fairly typical for winter, and not very dramatic. However, as the temperature rapidly continued to decline, the movement of the clouds caught my attention, but not for the reason you might expect.
The clouds not only seemed to decelerate, but they also traversed over the skyline at an oddly slow pace.
Creeping.
You can tell because I took several long exposures. This image was captured in 15 seconds. While you can see the effect of the exposure on the waters of Elliott Bay, the motion of the clouds appear to defy the length of time passing, temporarily suspended over the city.
Hovering.
Looming.

Cycling up Glen Tanar, I round a corner and am presented with the imposing heights of Mount Keen. A little way to go yet before I reach the foot of the climb, but I'm getting there!
Mount Keen is the most Easterly of all the Munros and although it is the closest to where I live, although I've climbed 10 others before climbing this, my 11th Munro. It stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet) and forms an almost perfect cone in its prominence. I made the ascent from Glen Tanar, cycling 6 miles in by bike (with an ascent of 210 meters / 689 feet), taking about 1.5 hours. This left me a final climb of just over 2 miles, with an ascent of 549 Meters (1801 feet), which I did surprisingly quickly (for me) at not much more than an hour. Including stops the whole trip was just over 4.5 hours, not bad for a 50 year old covering 16 miles of tough ground.
Hastings beach and the impending rain cloud. Due to school and bank holidays I haven't been near a pc for days, hence yet another iPhone one.
