The prediction was that pearlescent clouds would be visible on Christmas Eve, but unfortunately too much and too thick clouds, so no pearlescent clouds.
De voorspelling was dat er parelmoerwolken zichtbaar zouden zijn op Kerst avond, maar helaas iets te veel en te dikke bewolking, dus geen parelmoerwolken.

The predictions for a dry winter didn't pan out. We hope this will prevent more forest fires this summer. This peak lies above and outside Ski Santa Fe boundaries. 12,404ft, taken at about 11,700 from across the cirque.
Prediction of rain will not hurt these beautiful Forget Me Nots so “Let It Rain”. It’s the middle of April so we expect rain most any day. These present such a soft touch to a garden. Thanks for viewing my work. The rains will not effect Gratitude and Kindness. Enjoy your Spring.

Seems like just a few weeks since I set out this Halloween decoration in my side yard. Not visible from the street, it was one of those things I did more for myself. I just liked the way it made me feel to encounter this eerie specter when I walked back by the edge of the forest. More than once it startled me as I had completely forgotten about it. Over time it had weathered to the point where it totally blended in with its surroundings. A very organic look that suits my mentality much more than the highly contrived decorations commonly associated with holidays.
If Halloween marks the onset of the dark phase of the year in the northern hemisphere, Groundhog Day certainly delineates the return of brightening. The actual groundhog 'prediction' is meaningless to me. It's really just a time marker; a waypoint on the journey of life. Day length is increasing noticeably. Springtime is roaring upon us just as rapidly as Halloween is receding. I suppose it's time to take down this celebration of darkness and begin to embrace the light. Then again I might just let it go for another week or two.
I had special permission to go shooting, I knew light would be special, there was many layers of clouds(I could see). Also, the web site prediction was showing RED on us. This is it, I was starting to think I would never see again those special ray of light !!!
A friend of mine, who also happens to be a former colleague, celebrates her birthday today. A few months back, she left her high-paying but highly stressful job (these always go hand-in-hand, don't they?) to focus on family and things that she really wants to do. It's a story I'm so familiar with.
And so today's photo is for her and for the many others who seek new beginnings, better life choices, and more hopefulness in this generally unpredictable world... myself, included.
Snowfall warning, significant snowfall expected tonight near 15 cm and predicting 2cm per hour. Rapidly accumulating snowfall creating hazardous travel conditions.
I fled to Trondheim because of the weather predictions, and although it was not that bad, I spend two days strolling around in dull grey weather. BTW Trondheim is a nice city with an old center, and very nice places to discover. At the end of a long day (the 7th) I went back to my campsite, a little disappointed, and when I had dinner suddenly the sky opened! I realized I had to go back because the spot in this picture should look great with the sun out. The clouds here are a bonus.
Although I was very eager to see them ASAP, I decided back home in Holland not to speed towards the coast on my first day because weather predictions weren't good for a while. So I took the detour of which you have seen a few shots already. Trondheim fjord is not the classic fjord shot, but this is a rather nice view, and I was lucky the sky opened a little bit before closing again. It's Norway.
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
Predictions for this day were snow on the Veluwe...
After a long expedition we arrived at the Veluwe near Doornspijk...
I have a decent camera but it wasn't able to notice the snow...
There seems to be a lot of berries this autumn, some believe this means that it will be a hard winter - HBW!

I see bright colours after five dull days, So, today is gonna be a lovely day. That's my prediction !. But, I heard people say "You can't predict English weather."
Weather predictions for southern Australian states this weekend are for an icy blast with lots of snow in the high country and some helpful rain for farmers who have been in a significant drought. Let's hope what would be fairly normal at times during winter in fact occurs. Skiers and alpine resorts will be happy too.
We had a Snowy fall this morning as well at the back of our place when in the middle of Galah breakfast, a flock of 18 Sulphur Crested Cockatoos arrived with a massive combined screeching and settled all around. Well, with that noise the Galahs all took off and haven't been back. If neighbours were not awake, they soon would have been but except for 1-2 occasionally, we don't feed the Sulphurs although we love them to bits.
Here are a few of them. It was a rush to grab a camera and get this image before they all headed off. For those who see our occasional bird shots, you will know that we call the ones who do get a few seeds Snowy I and Snowy II.
Note the one with its beautiful sulphur or lemon crest raised!
With the weather predictions for this weekend we didn't go out for a hike. Just stayed at home and did some preparation for our upcoming summer holiday. This year it will a sort of roadtrip in our little country the Netherlands.
We will be starting at Texel and ending in South Limburg.
So this time a few from the first hike in 2020
The trail was nice with some nice views, if the weather only would be better. We still didn't have any snow so far and the temperatures were too high during the winter
But with some clouds and quite a breeze the hike was enjoyable at the Holtingerveld reserve near Havelte
As mostly every time we took one of the Canon Eos 3 cameras we own with us
This time loaded the Eos 3 with some expired (06-2019) Ilford Delta 100
Developing is as always done with our Caffenol recipe, Caffenol-C-L at 22c and stand developing for 50 minutes this time
Caffenol-C-L is our only B/W developer we use, a fresh batch is mixed every time when needed. This was also the first developed film in 2020.
I was sent up to Newcastle for work a couple of months ago and I thought to myself I have never been to Merewether Ocean Baths before to take photo so it would be a great opportunity to do so.
The night before I planned to head out I looked at the prediction and it looked somewhat promising, but nothing spectacular. I woke up the next morning ready to head out and all I could hear was rain, thunder and lightning.
I thought to myself, can I be bothered heading out. I hate shooting in the rain. But seeing as though I was there, and I had this opportunity, I thought just go and see what it's like. I also thought just maybe I might capture some lightning, but I wasn't too hopeful.
When I arrived there were quite a few other photographers there. It was raining and there was lightning going off out to sea. Then just before sunrise the rain stopped but the storm cell continued to move across the ocean producing some magnificent lightning bolts.
I ran into position, grabbed this composition and started shooting. I could not believe what was unfolding before my eyes. It was the most perfect conditions I could have ever hoped for.
I got sunrise, a storm and lightning all in one. It was a truly memorable and magical experience.

Last month I entered the June photo competition and the theme was sunrise/sunset. I entered this photo in the competition and out of 303 entries I won. I just couldn't believe it.
I am truly humbled and thankful to win a competition where the standard of entries were extremely high.
Thank you FOCUS and thanks to the judges, Jarrod Castaing and Kalan Robb for all the effort they put into judging this competition.
I hope you enjoy this image.

Did a recent project at Lynton's Valley of Rocks in N. Devon spanning several weeks to see it in almost every possible climate, including a dawn shoot after an overnight in my new Adventure Wagon for the super early start. This shot was probably my favourite for the clouds and colourful sunset - the weather forecast got it wrong mostly and the trips wasted photography wise with the cloud prediction not happening, or the strong winds on the cliff edge rocking the tripod! Taken using my wildlife camera after breaking the shutter from too many shots on my landscape camera. (No, not a joke :)
