I am sitting, staring at the wall
for hours
not counting time I think
about you, about you
one, two, three,
or maybe four
my city buried in snow
my heart is thawing
one, two three,
or maybe four
my heart is burning
and in my head you
I can't sleep
I have already predicted it all

about you, about you

The weather forecasters are predicting that we might get some winter weather in the next few days, so far we have got off relatively lightly . I doubt however it will be as cold as Arctic Norway this was taken around lunchtime in December and whilst there was no sunlight, the snow does make it appear brighter then I was anticipating . The light has an unusual blueish tone through the short Arctic day .
The image is looking down toward the Malangen fiord about thirty miles south of Tromso
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
We had gorgeous sunshine when arriving at Siglufjordur in Iceland's North, but suddenly lenticular clouds started forming and we knew we would get a storm and three hours later we were sitting in the very thick of it.
The groundhog predicted an early spring here in Ottawa. Right now we’re being hit by another big snowstorm and I’m not very optimistic about the prediction. I haven’t been able to take many photos with the frigid temps and cold this winter so I’ll be digging into my older files for a while.
Here’s hoping this little gosling will bring some luck and is taking his first tentative step forward into spring!
Have a great weekend Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
08-november-2021: in the beautiful mountain environment between "Sella Nevea" Ski Resort (1162m a.s.l.) and Plains (1551m a.s.l.) of mount "Jôf di Montasio" (2754m a.s.l.), the summit in the background of this shot.
We are off on a birding trip to British Columbia! I won’t have much time to enjoy all your new photos until our return in mid-June. The trip couldn’t have come at a better time. A microburst storm went through our area in Saturday and we, along with most of the city and across the river in Quebec, have been without power since 15:45, May 21. Internet connection almost non-existent. So much damage that the hydro company cannot predict when repairs will be complete. The airport is mostly operational, thank goodness :)
Ottawa International Airport, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. May 23, 2022.
By mid November most of the mallards will be gone, I hope the long Indian summers this year will not make them linger too long before what is predicted to be a very severe winter.
Well it certainly took a little longer than the predicted 5hr journey time to get there. Nine hours with only one stop for coffee and recharge the battery for my phone.
Two bad accidents on the A19 and the M90 created tailbacks for over ten miles. On both occasions we stood still for over an hour.
So you can appreciate the delight the next morning, when we were treated to this beautiful sunrise behind the castle.
Named after it's Gaelic name, Dun Fhoithear, literally meaning "fort on the shelving slope"
As far as castles go, it's difficult to imagine a more remote and dramatic location than Dunnatar.
Perhaps with the most impenetrable position of all Scottish castles, this one sits on top of it's own cliff peninsular on the road to Aberdeen, defended on all sides by the forces of nature.
Dunnatar Castle also comes with a good dose of dastardly history with an intrepid mix of torching, smuggling and pillaging.
Add to this some seriously stunning scenery and vistas to rival the best.
There are 50metre high cliffs on three sides of the site. While those are pounded by the North Sea, the fourth is joined to the land. This section was once a peninsular, but it's access was destroyed in favour of a cliff pathway. As a result you can only reach Dunnatar via a narrow, twisting route that ends in a tunnel, making it one of the most difficult Scottish castles to get into.
One of the most sacred Hindu temples of Nepal – Pashupatinath Temple is located on both banks of Bagmati River on the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu.
Pashupatinath is the most important temple dedicated to god Shiva. Every year this temple attracts hundreds of elderly followers of Hinduism.
They arrive here to find shelter for the last several weeks of their lives, to meet death, be cremated on the banks of the river and travel their last journey with the waters of the sacred river Bagmati, which later meets the holy river Ganges. Hinduists from every corner of Nepal and India are arriving here to die.
It is believed that those who die in Pashupatinath Temple are reborn as a human, regardless of any misconduct that could worsen their karma. The exact day of their death is predicted by astrologers of the temple. If you are attracted to the places where the spirit of death can be felt, then consider Pashupatinath as your first destination. It is a temple with special atmosphere of death; death is present in almost every ritual and every corner of it.
En futurologie, la singularité est un concept selon lequel, à partir d'un point hypothétique de son évolution technologique, la civilisation humaine connaîtra une croissance technologique exponentielle, d'un ordre supérieur, qui, pour beaucoup, se nommerait intelligence artificielle. Au-delà de ce point, le progrès ne serait plus l'œuvre que d'intelligences artificielles, elles-mêmes en constante progression. Il induirait des changements tels sur la société humaine, que l'individu d'avant la Singularité ne peut ni les appréhender ni les prédire de manière fiable. Le risque pourrait en être la perte du pouvoir humain sur son destin. Les futurologues et les transhumanistes l'attendent en général pour la troisième décennie du XXIe siècle. Pour Ray Kurzweil, c'est l'instant de l'histoire où l'accélération technologique deviendra si rapide que tous nos modèles prédictifs actuels seront caducs. La Singularité incarnerait, d'une manière non anthropomorphique, l'intelligence à venir, enfin débarrassée de ses limites corporelles.

“If the oak is before the ash,
Then we’ll only get a splash,
“If the ash is before the oak,
Then we’re sure to get a soak”.
This West Country, (UK), rhyme, indicates that the tree that gets it’s leaves first, predicts either a dry or wet summer.
The ash trees in this photo were just beginning to come into leaf on 22nd of April, while the oak tree in the background already had a good covering of leaves. The oaks are usually one of the last trees to get their new leaves, this year they were very early. It remains to be seen how accurate the rhyme proves to be in predicting the summer weather!
Light Filter dark clouds and an odd light filter through the trees predicting rain to come soon, shot in North Carolina.
The weather forecast predicted today to be sunny so I decided to get up early and see the sun rise. This was taken about a quarter past five. *yawn*
You can predict exactly when the Robin will have it's main feed. During the morning and afternoon it skirts the periphery of the five feeding area's in our garden, picking off the odd seed or nuts dropped by the other bird, but just as the Witching Hour starts they will appear, one at a time and feed for a couple of minutes facing into the setting sun.
I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other :-)

The weather forecast predicted a sea of fog in the morning, with a ceiling of 600 meters. I set off for the Belchen – a Jura hill offering views into the Swiss Plateau. However, I had bad luck with the weather. The wind was incredibly strong. Blurs of clouds raced past me as I reached the summit at 5 a.m. I unpacked my Shen Hao 6x17 cm camera. I had to hold the tripod steady to keep it from toppling over in the wind. To make matters worse, the light meter refused to work. But luckily, I had an app on my phone. You can see the result here.

Winter is coming and Colorado has already had its first snow. 2020 was a very snowy winter, and right now forecasts are predicting above average snow for our area in Colorado. Good for skiing, but it can make it challenging for wildlife.

With a calm sunny day predicted I hoped the weather would suitable for some fall reflections. It was, and soon the brisk morning gave way to a bright autumn day.

Gazipasa
The unknown or predicted history of Gazipaşa goes deep within the historical perspective. In general, this historical adventure begins in the 2000s BC. The Luwians, a branch of the Hittites, lived in the region that the Hittites called the Kizzuvatna (Çukurova region) and Arzava (Antalya region) countries. Since Gazipaşa is in this region, it is highly probable that the historical journey of the district started with the Luwians - Hittites. As a matter of fact, the lion remains in the ruins around Karatepe (Sivaslı) confirm this information.
Another important milestone in Gazipaşa's historical journey is 628 BC. There are two cities in history with the name of Selinus. Selinus, which was founded as a city-state at this date by the Greek Cave-Hyblaia people in Sicily, and Selinus in the south of Anatolia. It is a port city established in the Cilicia Region and on both sides of the Hacımusa (Kestros) Stream. Its castle, on the other hand, is at the location of the current castle ruins and was an island at that time. From here, maritime trade was carried out with the trade centers of that day, especially Egypt.
The city, which passed from the Greek administration to Roman rule in 197 BC due to Antiochus, was built in AD. In the 1st century, the Roman King Trojan, who went on the eastern expedition of the Mediterranean coast, got sick and came to the port of Selinus and was the guest of a merchant's house. Hadrian, who would succeed him on the throne, came to Selinus and took the corpse to Rome, and had a tomb built in commemoration. For this reason, it is known that Selinus was called Traianapolis for a while, and in the Christian period, it was the Episcopal center affiliated to the Archbishopric of Seleukeia - Silifke. The period of the Roman Empire, which started in the 1st century BC, continued until the 6th century in Gazipaşa, which is within the Anatolian borders of this state.
M.S. Starting from the 6th century, the Southern Mediterranean was dominated by the Byzantine Empire, in the first half of the 12th century, it was attached to the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and in the period of the Turkification of Pamphylia together with Gazipaşa, Antalya and Alanya, Selinus became the ruler of the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat I in 1221. In the year 1225, Alanya was started to be known as Selinti because of the fact that the five big streams that originate from the Taurus Mountains and flow through the city center and mix into the sea from here until 1225 cause floods from time to time. However, the conquest of the Seljuks, except for Alanya, was short-lived and the Armenians, who took advantage of the defeat of Gıyaseddin II by the İlhanlılar in the Kösedağ War in 1243, recaptured this place and remained in their hands until the conquest of the Karamanoğlus in 1275. During the Mongolian invasion of Anatolia in the 1270s, Selinti was located within the borders of Konya and its affiliated regions of the Anatolian Seljuk State.
During the period of Anatolian principalities, Antalya and its surroundings remained in the Teke Principality since 1335, while Alanya, Selinti and the eastern and northern regions came under the rule of Karamanoğulları, whose center was Konya.
Gedik Ahmet Pasha, the Commander of the Naval Forces (Captain Derya) of Fatih Sultan Mehmet in the Ottoman Period, took Alanya in 1470 and Selinti, Anamur and Silifke regions in 1472 from the Karamanoğlu Principality and included them under Ottoman rule. Famous traveler Evliya Çelebi states on page 126 of his famous Travelogue, "In the 18th century, Selinti accident is a town within the borders of İçel (Mersin) with 26 villages connected to Silifke Sanjak and paying a tax of 80 coins annually. It is surrounded by well-kept mosques and houses by the sea. It has lush green mountains. It has a pier 70 miles from Cyprus."
the predicted solar storm arrived on Friday night, it came with clouds over many areas luckily it cleared to see Strong Thermal Emission with Velocity Enhancement or STEVE and a picket fence
.
The forecast predicted clouds, so arising early I brought coffee and cameras to the roof.
It was very pleasant, about 40ºF and almost windless. I found that I miss the old swamp cooler, the top of which made a nice table for my gear.
I'm happy I bought my food yesterday, because todays roads are a mess, 50cm snow came throughout the night
he predicted yesterday didn't happen today :-) Laurence J. Peter.

*Reichsburg Cochem im ersten Sonnenlicht*
In mid-August I made another attempt to photograph Cochem Castle and the city in the morning mist during sunrise. A favorable location is the so-called Pinner Cross, a viewing point to which you can hike from below and from above. Unfortunately, as is so often the case, the weather didn't do what the many weather apps had predicted, because the fog wasn't in the valley, but over the surrounding Moselle mountains. That's why it took an hour after sunrise for the sun to appear.
Mitte August machte ich einen erneuten Versuch, die Burg Cochem und die Stadt im Morgennebel während des Sonnenaufgangs zu fotografieren. Ein günstiger Standort ist das sogenannte Pinner Kreuz, ein Aussichtspunkt, zu dem man von unten und von oben wandern kann. Leider machte das Wetter wie so oft nicht das, was die vielen Wetter-Apps vorhergesagt hatten, denn der Nebel war nicht im Tal, sondern über den umliegenden Moselbergen. Deshalb dauerte es eine Stunde nach Sonnenaufgang, bis die Sonne sich zeigte.
A migratory bird that is famous for appearing just before the start of the rainy season. In the countryside, people still predict rains by its sightings. In many parts of India, it migrates all the way to Africa and comes back just in time for the rains which is the breeding season. But in South India, this is a resident bird and can be seen late summers, rainy seasons and sometimes in the winters too.
This species of Cuckoo is a brood parasite and lays its eggs in other birds nests. It would eat one of the hosts eggs and drop its own in them. The bird prefers Bulbuls, both Red Vented and White throated, tailorbirds etc.. as hosts for its eggs.
We sighted two of them in the area I visited during the weekend. The place was teeming with butterflies and no wonder there were so many cuckoo's there. This cuckoo caught caterpillars in the dry bushes and then flew over to the trees and consumed it there. This happened a couple of times and that is when I took this shot!
Thank you so much in advance for your views and feedback.
52 Weeks of 2022. Environment.
Dragonflies are an ancient family of insects. They have been around for 300 million years and predate the dinosaurs. There are over 5,000 species spanning all continents except the Antartica. They are important bio-indicators for environmental health both of water and land.
Summer in Melbourne was milder than predicted this year, and it seems like it is bleeding into autumn, for the weather is warming up and everywhere gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
I took an afternoon stroll in the late summer sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Julia's Rose" which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. This coffee coloured rose bush is a favourite of mine, as I love the shape of the flowers as they expand into full bloom.
Introduced in 1976 by Wisbech Plant Farm in the United Kingdom, "Julia's Rose" is an unusual colour blend of coffee, lavender and pink blushes on long smooth stems. A tall open bush, this rose repeat flowers often in clusters from October to May and in cooler weather can become completely coffee-coloured.
with a predicted 18 to 24 inches of snow hitting this week in North Dakota, it's nice to see some positive signs of spring...these flowers will get buried, but will survive, with the extra moisture, hopefully they will really take off and bloom more.
As predicted a CME (coronal mass ejection) sparked a strong G3 class geomagnetic storm yesterday. Thankfully it cleared after midnight and I was able to witness some very colourful displays, even seeing red rather than just what the camera picked up. The storm is ongoing with another possible impact to come. From Space Weather:
"The lights spread across multiple US states including Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and North Dakota. At maximum, the lights descended as far south as Colorado."
— My watch can predict the future!
— That's impossible! Can you prove it?
— Sure! — glances at the watch — Right now it's saying you have no panties.
— You see? That is wrong, I have panties on right now.
— Oh, I'm sorry, its 10 minutes fast...

Colour re-edit of a shot from June 2017. Perfect for a rainy day in the West of Scotland today with slow moving thunderstorms predicted for later. Enjoy!
The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.
Weather app predicted 💯 low cloud cover - so I drove to my favorite woodland and was greeted by constant rain, zero wind and zero mist. Which seems to happen everytime I'm up that way. So I continued on and found paths that I hadn't walked before which for woodland I've walked through many mnay times was awesome. Most paths are either dog runs cyclists, or footpaths. But they sometimes throw up magical tree shapes, if upur really lucky 100 year old beech trees which survived the 1985 hurricane 🌀 which are now showing signs of age and fungal infections. They aren't long for the Tree world. So I've been photographing some of them recently they are so huge its hard to fit them in a frame. You can see the one of them in the previous photo I posted.

Our lives are full of decisions that lead us down such paths. Paths where it is impossible to predict where they will lead us.
Of course, we usually have a wish as to where we would like to end up. And we usually have a fear in our luggage. The fear that the path will lead us to a place we cannot handle.
Both are completely normal. Because where knowledge is lacking, imagination sets in. It's always been that way. And so it's completely okay if we're afraid of the unknown. This fear is a protective mechanism that increases our awareness and ensures that we pay attention to where we place our feet. Something that makes us slow down but minimizes the risk of accidents.
So when you find yourself on the path into the unknown, not only accept your wishes and visions, but also your fears.
In the end we always get somewhere. And in my experience, it's rarely the place we want and never the place we're most afraid of. So take the first step and let yourself be surprised.
Unser Leben ist voll von Entscheidungen, die uns auf solche Wege führen. Wege, bei denen es nicht absehbar ist, wohin sie uns leiten.
Sicherlich haben wir meist einen Wunsch, wo wir am Ende landen möchten. Und wir haben meist auch eine Angst mit im Reisegepäck. Die Angst, daß der Weg uns an einen Ort führt, mit dem wir nicht umgehen können.
Beides ist völlig normal. Denn wo das Wissen fehlt setzt die Fantasie ein. Das war schon immer so. Und so ist es auch völlig in Ordnung, wenn wir Angst vor dem Unbekannten haben. Diese Angst ist ein Schutzmechanismus, der unsere Aufmerksamkeit erhöht und dafür sorgt, dass wir darauf achten, wohin wir unsere Füße stellen. Etwas, was uns zwar langsamer werden lässt, jedoch die Unfallgefahr minimiert.
Also nehmt nicht nur Eure Wünsche und Visionen an, wenn Ihr mal wieder auf dem Weg ins Ungewisse seid, sondern auch Eure Ängst.
Schlußendlich kommen wir immer irgendwo an. Und nach meiner Erfahrung ist es selten der Ort den wir uns wünschen und nie der Ort vor dem wir am meisten Angst hatten. Also macht den ersten Schritt und lasst Euch überraschen.

Sunday storm prediction for the lakeshore,
WHERE...Mason, Oceana, Muskegon, Ottawa, Allegan and Van Buren counties.
WHEN...From 1 AM Sunday to 1 AM EST Monday.
IMPACTS...Significant erosion of beaches and dunes, inundation of low-lying areas along the lakeshore and in river mouths, and road closures are possible.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong fall storm system will move through the Great Lakes tonight and Sunday. Winds will increase substantially out of the west on Sunday bringing a rise in water levels as well as producing large battering waves. Wave heights will likely reach the 12 to 16 foot range on Sunday. Peak wind gusts will top out in the 50 to 60 mph range.
This shot of the Grand Haven lighthouse was taken October 22 of 2019. I do not think the light will be this good on Sunday as they are also predicting rain al day long. So probably not much sun light at all.
If this looks promising I might head out that way, we will see.
They predicted wet and heavy snow from Winter Storm Riley. I think they nailed that one. The ground was bare and waterlogged when it started last night, and the temperature has remained above freezing, yet the snow has become quite deep by mid-day and is still coming down strong. I just saw a line snap outside my window, and there are broken branches in the back yard. It all looks quite beautiful though, with the big flakes coming down.
(update: This tree returned to it's upright position as the snow melted quickly, but another storm is rolling in already, Nor'Easter Quinn)
As predicted , we were greeted on our arrival in Te Anau, New Zealand, with very heavy rain and it hasn't stopped raining since. We had an early cruise at Milford Sound booked this morning. We were about 3/4 of the way there when we were turned back due to a landslide!
The upside of all the rain is the beautiful waterfalls it creates that cascade down the sides of the mountains.
