The predicted amounts of snow no longer reached the Amper valley. There was certainly more further south towards the Alps. Now it's all snow again from yesterday and it's getting milder again.

The tomatoes, like almost everything after the long, cold winter, were late this Summer. But now they're finally in their glory and heirloom tomato sandwiches are the usual choice for lunch. I think the fragrance of tomato vines on a steamy Summer afternoon is one of the best Summer smells! Have a great weekend, and good luck to everyone here on the east coast of the U.S. - it looks like it's going to be a wet, windy and wild weekend as Irene makes landfall and roars northward. I guess the good news is that the temperatures will be in the 70's....if it were Winter, the predicted 6-12 inches of rain would translate into A LOT of snow..... :)
Predicting where an otter might bring ashore prey can be tricky. On this occasion today, it brought the fish out, not where I predicted, but about 15 feet in front of where we were lying!
Ah well.
... of colour! In our garden Spring is definitely springing. A profusion of colour all around ...
Apologies for absence of late - Flickr hit me with changing the mobile site - as I use that most of the time I was not best pleased with a new layout and navigation ... Soo still faffing around trying to get to grips with it - I am back on the Mac for ease of use at the moment ...
Will try and catch you all soon xx
I think it is possible to some extent. However, the accuracy varies depending on the master's ability to read palmistry.
Predicting mid-90s today. Summertime!!!

Our big magnolia came in at a bad time this year, with a hard freeze predicted for the next day. Fortunately, Mickie cut a few branches off and put them in a vase in the dining room, so I moved them to the studio - just the other end of the dining room these days! - and photographed them. I like the different stages of blossoming represented here. Tiring a bit of plain black backgrounds, I thought this blue-green complimented the blossoms nicely. Hoping you agree.
Le château de Polignac est un château fort se dressant dans la commune française de Polignac près du Puy-en-Velay, dans le département de la Haute-Loire.
Localisation et situation
Gravure représentant le château de Polignac, vers le milieu du XIXe siècle.
Le château de Polignac au XVIe siècle d'après Gaston de Jourda de Vaux.
Situé à 5 km au nord-ouest du Puy, le château fort de Polignac (on dit aussi la forteresse de Polignac) occupe une butte ou plate-forme basaltique, fragment d'une ancienne coulée volcanique. Le sommet de la butte, à peu près plat, mesure environ 120 m sur 90 m et sa grande longueur est orientée plus ou moins nord-ouest/sud-est1. Elle est à 806 m d'altitude) et domine la vallée de Polignac et le bassin du Puy par des falaises abruptes hautes d'environ 100 m, sauf vers le nord où une triple ligne de remparts a été aménagée.
L'archéologue Laurent d'Agostino (2008) voit, dans la position stratégique du château entre Anicium (Le Puy-en-Velay, futur siège épiscopal au Moyen Âge) et Ruessium (Saint-Paulien, chef-lieu de la cité vellave durant l'Antiquité), l'indice d'une occupation antique.
Historique et construction
La première mention du château date d'environ 929-935 : un acte est passé dans le « castrum quod vocatur Podianacus » ; les vicomtes de Polignac sont quant à eux déjà mentionnés dès la fin du IXe siècle.
Propriétaires du château depuis au moins le XIe siècle, les vicomtes héréditaires du Velay en prirent le nom et en firent leur résidence ordinaire jusqu'au début du XVIIe siècle.
La forteresse, qui occupait un emplacement stratégique commandant les routes à l'ouest et au nord de la ville du Puy, pouvait abriter 800 soldats en plus de la famille et de ses domestiques.
Bien à l'abri dans leur forteresse, les seigneurs de Polignac purent devenir les maîtres du pays.
Alliés des rois de France mais de caractère indépendant, il n'hésitèrent à se rebeller contre l'autorité royale de Louis VI le Gros (1080-1137) puis de Louis XI (1423-1483).
La chapelle seigneuriale Saint-Andéol4 est attestée dès 10753. Elle est incluse dans l'enceinte du château et rattachée au prieuré de Pébrac (près de Langeac en Auvergne), ce dernier fondé vers 1062. En 1128 l'église Saint-Martin est rattachée au prieuré Saint-Andéol (et donc par filiation elle est rattachée au prieuré de Pébrac). Une autre source ajoute qu'en 1142, l'évêque du Puy Humbert d'Albon († 1147) donne la chapelle Saint-Andéol en même temps que l'église Saint-Martin au prieuré de prieuré de Pébrac, qui possèdent ces biens jusqu'à la Révolution.
Le logis seigneurial fut sans doute reconstruit en dur au XIIe siècle, époque où une lutte sans merci opposait les Polignac aux évêques du Puy pour la perception des péages6 sur la route du pèlerinage à Notre-Dame du Puy-en-Velay. Il fut restauré et agrandi à la fin du XVe siècle ou au début du XVIe siècle.

Le donjon, désigné comme la « grosse tour » dans les sources anciennes, fut édifié par Randon Armand X, vicomte de 1385 à 1421, comme l'indique une inscription latine gravée sur une pierre blanche encastrée à l'angle nord-ouest. Son voûtement fut réparé de 1565 à 1566 par Philiberte de Clermont, vicomtesse et douairière de Polignac (femme de François-Armand XVI), qui l'enchapa dans un glacis.
Le 17 juillet 1532, le château reçut la visite de François Ier et sa suite : il fut reçu par le vicomte François-Armand XVI qui, au devant d'une centaine de gentilshommes, était allé à sa rencontre à Brioude. Le roi et les princes furent logés dans les bâtiments en dur et les courtisans dans un grand corps de logis en charpente dressé sur l'esplanade à cet effet. À cette occasion, le roi gratifia les Polignac du surnom « rois des montagnes ».
Lors des guerres de Religion, les Polignac prirent le parti d'Henri III puis de son successeur, Henri IV, faisant du château le bastion des royalistes face au Puy ligueur. La forteresse contribua au triomphe de la cause royaliste.
Une chapelle voûtée et peinte fut édifiée dans l'enceinte au XVIIe siècle.
Abandonnée au cours du XVIIe siècle par les vicomtes de Polignac, qui lui préfèrent leur Château de Lavoûte-Polignac, la forteresse était déjà en ruines au moment de la Révolution. Celle-ci voit les Polignac émigrer et la forteresse, vendue comme bien national, servir de carrière de pierres.
En 1830, à son retour d'émigration, le deuxième duc de Polignac racheta les ruines. Sa famille fit restaurer une partie du château durant le XIXe siècle : le chemin de ronde, des portes, le donjon. Prosper Mérimée, premier inspecteur des monuments historiques, classa le site en 18409.
Côté oriental de la forteresse de Polignac,
vers 1900.
Le donjon voit son couronnement (voûte et mâchicoulis) rétabli de 1893 à 1897, d'après des gravures anciennes.
Cette résurrection du château vient démentir la sombre prédiction du photographe Ernest Lacan (1828-1879)10 au milieu du XIXe siècle :
« le précieux monument, comme tant d'autres, tombe pierre à pierre ; bientôt il disparaîtra comme les générations qui l'ont habité mais, grâce à la photographie, il restera tel qu'il est encore, dans ce dessin tracé par la lumière. »
Les restaurations se poursuivent aujourd'hui sous l'égide de la Fondation Forteresse de Polignac.
This movie has equal billing with Walker Bros for Walkers "unkown until now" major screen role as JC (thats Joan Crawford and not Jesus Christ!) in his remake entitled "Mildred Pierced" about a woman who eventually owns a chain of tattoo and piercing centres.

The colours here in southern Ontario/Cornwall due to the forest fires made the sun filtered yellow and red especially during sunset. Here sun dropping down below the trees as Yellow Sun, Blue Clouds.
Glad now the wildfires significantly reduced in our province Ontario.
Enjoy, and have a great week that is predicted to rain every day starting tomorrow in our region !!!
45118 The Royal Artilleryman approaches Copleys Brook (west of Melton Mowbray), working the outward leg of Locomotive InterCity Ltd.'s "The Master Cutler", 1Z45 08.35 Leeds - St. Pancras International. 47593 Galloway Princess is on the rear. [Pole, 5/6 sections (~6.8m)]
Although this railtour was on my radar, I hadn't intended going out for it because the weather forecast was poor. In fact, had the weather forecast for today been good, I would have likely spent the day at the Mid Norfolk Railway Diesel Gala! But with clear skies predicted for a few hours immediately after sunrise I'd gone out (very early) to the Grantham area for the diverted Caledonian Sleeper, and then moved to a couple of spots north of Newark for several southbound class 91 workings as the clouds were not filling in quite as quickly as expected.
Since Melton Mowbray wasn't particularly far away, I went over for this, which was due at about 11.15am. The weather app was now showing some breaks in the cloud for a bit longer, although there was also a passing shower. I could see a small patch of blue sky in the distance and some brightness on some very distant fields, although it didn't look like it would arrive in time... but you can always be hopeful!
1Z45 lost a few minutes around East Midlands Parkway, and was about ten minutes late when it reached Syston. Signalling maps showed it didn't immediately get a clear signal, and I was wondering (hoping?) if it might be held to run behind the Cross Country passenger train. But that was not to be, although 1Z45 is recorded passing Frisby twelve minutes late. The light levels, however, were increasing as the cloud thinned. I heard the train approaching, and the cloud thinned even more as it came into view. It was far from full sun (the sun completely cleared the cloud for a short period a few minutes after 1Z45 had passed), but the slightly diffuse lighting has probably improved the image as by this time of day less than four weeks before the summer solstice the light is quite harsh - just look at some of the pictures from the Swanage Railway Diesel Gala two weeks previously.
But I couldn't believe how much the light had improved - just ten minutes before the train had been due, a light rain shower was just finishing!
Unfortunately, today was slightly windy, and the wind caught the pole and angled it slightly downwards. Adding in extra sky would have been tricky although not impossible, but I didn't have any extra sky to work with. It was therefore much easier to give the image a 16:9 crop. This was the first time I'd done a shot looking this way from this spot, where you are stood slightly below track level, and I had been wishing I'd done the shot from further back, on the other side of the stream, which would have made it a bit easier.

The resident Bald Eagle pair at Radnor Lake in Oak Hill Tennessee have eggs on the nest so the male is busy working overtime hunting for both, and the Rangers are predicting they will hatch eaglets within just a few days, so it will get even busier soon.

There are invitations you simply cannot turn down. Spending a night at 3571m on Jungfraujoch definitely falls into this category.
When my buddy Benjamin Barakat informed me about the invitation to visit the high altitude research station and that we would get access to the restricted areas on the Spinx Observatory, I was really excited. The place has been on top of my wish list for quite a while.
The alpine high altitude environment did not make it an easy shooting. When we arrived in the afternoon, there was snowfall, but the forecast predicted that it would clear during the night. Shortly before sunset the clouds parted, but our high hopes were damped when thick fog rolled in shortly after nightfall.
We nevertheless decided to brave the cold on the science platform of the Spinx Observatory and were finally rewarded with completely clear skies.

So...Fog was predicted at Epping. So I made the two hour drive to get there and when I arrived there was none.
Not the end of the world, Ive learnt to take the weather forecast with a pinch of salt.
Still....had a nice morning there, and its a really lovely place to shoot. Mist or no mist.

predicts high of 85...low of 65... preciptation.. yes.. on my golden hair.. i have a nice home.......... aaaaaaaaaaaaah florida..
this shot was taken at my daughters little lake at early sunrise..
having woken up with a hot flashes.. I thought this would soothe anyones ailments for a little moment..
celebrating 2000 views!!
The predicted high cloud turned up and coloured up up just nicely at Sunrise.
This is the view from a lookout in Waverton which is a suburb of Sydney Australia
This is an alternate take from my previously posted bridge shot. This one just 5 minutes after the big orange blast, but still worthy of mention.
Rob and I arrived early this morning in Rio Vista, and by first twilight, it was clear we were going to be in for a treat. We scouted several Rio Vista waterfront compositions and finally decided to get down on the rocks as the tide was beginning to recede. I've been seeing many skunks in the early hours, live and otherwise, and as I started down the loose rip rap, a familiar black and white furry thing was scurrying to get out of my path. Luckily it was one of dozens of feral cats that live along this waterfront.
Mister golden sun arrived as predicted, and the sky burn commenced. I went with a 9-stop ND filter to smooth the water and burn in a little extra water reflection. Lens is the DFA 25mm f/4.
A good time was had by all.
Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.

Creative intro: life path is not a math, you can’t predict it (you can become a doctor or drug addict). You can’t calculate your fate, (one wrong step and it would became difficult to fix broken seem) sometimes it is too late to fulfill our dreams. Tonight I feel Lucifer’s grope around my neck, there is no turning back from my chosen railroad track.
Creative thoughts: railroad is a symbol of our life our path, it is like a destiny, we don't know why we choose left railroad track and why we choose to become a gambler or a prostitute, why we choose railroad right track and why someone become a thief or why we choose middle track and we become poet writer or painter etc. The problem is life is short as one adventure trip, many of us don't have time and chance to go back at right track, I mean right way. I spend 1 month making photos on a railroad searching for the answer, which track to choose, what move to do in my “headless” life but still I didn't find the answer. I know one thing that some poor souls never get chance to choose life path I mean about little babies that died in birth process (* I worked in hospital shortly and once I got order to bring few months dead baby in a morgue). A lot of people live poor today, some rich families live like a modern kings & queens but there is some kind of justice because nothing is forever, you can't bring your fortune or pain & disease in heaven and hell.

A -2 degree start to this morning so was so pleased to capture the frost today. Have been busy at work the last few frosty mornings and the forecast mid week didn't predict any so was pleasantly surprised when I glanced at my phone yesterday and saw the forecast.
I'm terrible at predicting which pictures will get lots of favorites, but suspect this one will be popular.
Hell, for me, would be Yosemite Valley. What picture could you possibly take that hasn't been taken already? I'll give Ansel Adams credit - he lived there year-found (he was managing the gift shop, IIRC) so for him, it really was a case of "photographing what you know."
Yes, I took pictures of the fireworks, and they came out OK. Maybe I'll post one, but I promise you it will look the same as all the others, except less polished, technically.
I have not seen the brine trucks out either. Well ! If we get it, I will shoot photos. I think it's just more gas coming out of their backside.
By chance I arrived at the Grand Geyser in Yellowstone just before it was predicted to erupt. After a few minutes wait, it went off nicely, but the dark overcast was unfavorable for photography. Near the end of the Grand Geyser show, a smaller geyser next to it called Vent Geyser erupted like a tea kettle, and that made for a little better image.
Grand Geyser info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Geyser
NOAA predicted kp 7 last night. Perhaps it was that high somewhere, but not over Iceland. 7 pic panorama, shadows lifted but otherwise no correction. 8 sec exposure = too long. 7 pic pano
Addendum: apparently the kp index is not predicting the "intensity" of the lights.
The forecast hadn’t predicted it, but there were other factors which gave me hope, such as recent rain and a drop in temperature and as I climbed to the top of the hill and emerged from the trees just before sunrise, I was very happy to see great big balls of the fluffy stuff aka mist. Big thanks to the elves in their mist factory who worked overtime that morning.
I shoot with an Olympus and I love the LIVE BULB/LIVE TIME feature on these cameras which really helped when photographing this shot of the moving mist.
What it does for you, is give a regular update on the exposure as it is progressing, while the shutter is open. So the photographer is able to see the image & histogram ‘develop’ in-camera and stop the exposure once the shutter has been open for enough time.
For yesterday, the weather forecast predicted sun. Finally!! So, Edgar_Thissen and I went on a blind date to one of Holland's most beautiful zoos; Blijdorp in Rotterdam. How well our little blind date went, since it turned out that we both are equally enthousiastic and obsessed with getting that one shot right.... Must have been a crazy sight; two people, flat on their stomachs in front of the duck pond, oblivious of the rest of the people that had to step more or less over them to pass, shouting at each other "Ooh, look at that one" and "Yeah!, I got 'em!". But we had great fun. Normally, when you are with other people that are not so photo fanatic, you just can't take your time to get a shot right, but this worked out brilliantly. Before we knew it we were thrown out of the zoo because they wanted to close...
So, if you find some similarity between Edgar's and my photos, it figures!
This was one of the last shots of that day. The sun was setting over the duck pond and turned the water into the most amazing colors. We stayed there until it was dark and the colors changed constantly. Used the flash to light up the duckie. While shooting this, we said to each other; 'No one is going to believe that this was the real color of the water". But it was.....
With mild temperatures predicted and minimal wind, I decided to make a quick trip to Lake Monger this morning. There were not a lot of birds but some patience was rewarded with this photo of Pink Eared Ducks perched on a small sand bar a comfortable distance from the edge. Accompanying this pair were another two pairs that were more interested in sleeping than anything else.
The Photographer's Ephemeris was predicting an epic sunrise this morning, so I set the alarms and got up super early only to discover mostly clear skies.
Resigned to shoot something since I was already awake, I noticed the (almost) full moon descending in the west... I had about an hour before it would set below the horizon.
Fortunately, the Scripps Pier is very close to my home, and I made the quick trip down to the beach for this shot.
The moon is easily mistaken for the sun in these types of photos, because the color temperature of the light is identical to our sun. If you think about it, this makes sense because the moonlight really IS sunlight... just reflected off the surface of the moon.
It was really fun to be the only person out on the beach, it was such a quiet and peaceful morning.

The weather forecast predicted 98% high-level and 0% low-level clouds for sunrise this morning... which was not quite accurate.
We did get some colour in the sky... but not much... and not for long... and not where I needed it.
But hey... this photo is not about Table Mountain or the sky... this photo is all about the foreground!
This is another panorama captured with my multi-camera panoramic-rig.

As predicted earlier my enforced Flickr layoff is still ongoing.
A move of house and a health matter have taken most of my time. Matters were made worse when on the morning we exchanged contracts for the sale of our long term home we received news that our proposed property purchase was likely to fall through. In this current economic climate we didn't want to loose our sale so ended up moving out and took up a kind offer of short term accommodation from my pal Mark. The house purchase duly fell through and we moved to Scarborough where we have no w-fi and the internet reception is next to no use. Ordinarily we would have visited local coffee shops to take advantage of their wi-fi but my doc is still telling me to keep well clear of any indoor venues.
In the meantime we are using Scarborough as a great base to explore.
This picture was taken on a trip to Whitby. It was 07.00 o'clock in the morning, the town was beautifully quiet with next to no one else on the streets. The 1909 built swing bridge that crosses the River Esk has just opened to allow a couple of small fishing craft out of the inner harbour. The sun would soon make an appearance and the town would slowly come back to life.
I will struggle for online access so please do accept my apologies for my absence and inability to respond to the postings of my valued Flickr contacts. Fingers crossed normality will return once we have moved home.
They predicted showers early today but I went out anyway. The skies were pretty interesting though, and it was raining here when I shot this. I happened to catch a lightning strike in the distance too. I shot this with a 1 second exposure and it was about a minute before sunrise. My feet got soaked cause the tide was coming in and pretty rough.
