The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.
January in Melbourne, Australia means summer sunshine. Searing heat, warm nights, beaches filling up with swimmers and families. Also the bay has plenty of white sails as the flotillas of yachts race by. Plus last week I saw the hot-air balloons enjoying the still air.
Fortunately, we haven't had a really bad bushfire season though our lovely Grampian National Park was not that lucky. Today is being declared as an extreme fire danger day with a 42 degree C day, high winds and dry thunderstorms predicted..
Schools are starting Term 1 from tomorrow.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." Peter Drucker.
The surroundings of Taipei 101, which was the world's tallest building in the past, are one of the busiest areas of the capital city of Taiwan. I had always wanted to create an image that showed the daily chaotic invasion of the streets by motorcycles, cars and other vehicles at the end of the workday.
Taipei, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, is a city in constant transformation. In this area new skyscrapers are being built every day. The walkway from which I took the photographs was going to be demolished soon, a real shame because the view from there is truly impressive.
To obtain this result I mixed a total of 20 photographs taken at the same point: 3 exposures for the city buildings, 1 for the sky and the other 16 for composing traffic trails.

"La mejor forma de predecir el futuro es creándolo." Peter Drucker.
Los alrededores del Taipei 101, el que fuera edificio más alto del mundo en su momento, son una de las zonas con más tráfico de la capital de Taiwan. Siempre había querido realizar una fotografía que reflejara la caótica invasión diaria de las calles por parte de motos, coches y demás vehículos al acabar la jornada de trabajo.
Taipei, una de las urbes más densamente pobladas del mundo, es una ciudad en continua transformación. En esta zona la construcción de nuevos rascacielos es constante. La propia pasarela desde la que realicé las fotografías iba a ser demolida próximamente, una verdadera pena porque la vista desde allí es verdaderamente impresionante.
Para obtener este resultado he mezclado un total de 20 fotografías tomadas en el mismo punto: 3 exposiciones para los edificios de la ciudad, 1 para el cielo y las otras 16 para componer las luces del tráfico.
Funny idea:
"A stone that predicts the weather
Wet - it's raining
Dry - it is not raining
It casts a shadow - the sun is shining
White - it's snowing
Cold - it's cold
You can not see - there is fog
He is not there - there was a tornado."
Walking through the city I saw this stone. A fun idea.
So the rain never hit us today like they predicted for Miami... but boy I don't think I've EVER seen a rainbow like this.... Absolutely breathtaking and massive... and it looks like it is emanating right from one of the many little islands that dot Biscayne Bay.
If you look carefully you can even see pieces of another rainbow to the left and top of this one. That's not an iPhone error, this really is an image of a double-rainbow.
Scientists predict that when climate change eventually leads to the extinction of the human species there will be a new dawn...
It will be the Jealopus that will evolve and take our place...

I seem to have this knack, much like the Met Office of predicting the wrong weather!
Just the other day I posted a hopeful spring pic of snowdrops! It had been a glorious day, 10c, sunshine, the smells of the earth warming......
This morning while walking the dogs round the field I was followed by a snow storm (literally!) I just about out walked it, came inside and took a pic from my sons room! Hence the Dragon & the Dinosaur on the window!
Starting from the great outdoor . Scotland has a lot to offer when it comes to scenic and landscape . Throughout the seasons , 3 cold and 1 less cold the landscape , light and colour are forever changing . Loch Etive is one of those places worth heading towards . A short paddle away you will face the grand scenery , the snow top mountains and the abounding wildlife . It might be cold for a few hours but certainly it’s scenic .
The weather forecast can be diabolical . The BBC weather forecast will make you stay at home . Looking at the predicted weather only a day in advance the wind was supposedly meant to blow to 20 to 30 miles per hour . However on the day it was certainly flat calm . Just like fake news it’s certainly disappointing .
Companionship is and always be an important factor in extreme kayaking . Kayak fishing is a safe sport , group kayaking is extremely safe and help is always at hand .
Fishing and catching make us do go back , fresh and scenic , top destination for a great cool adventure . Scotland and loch etive today , somewhere else tomorrow , keeping on paddling .
Not predicted, i noticed the high waves from the other side of the harbour and nipped across to bag a shot or two. More to come.

I've been waiting to the bitter end to see how the woolly bears would predict the coming winter. I was elated to see that this tried and true nature forecaster is predicting a nice mild winter! Wonderful! The saying goes, that if a woolly bear has a broad red band the winter will be warm, but if the red band is narrow we're in for a real nasty winter.
Catching up with 2018...though there is no time remaining on the meter...2019 arrived as predicted...I did not.
Almost There.
Before Christmas 2018 I had the opportunity to take some photos of a shop (not mine)...the culmination of years of orderly accumulation. Finally, I am adding this photo I took of a photo in the shop. I actually think it was the shop owner's personal cat, but then the photo seemed so perfect...as if taken from a magazine. Anyway, I liked the grainy effect.
These were taken with a tripod.

As predicted 43251 emerged heading in the Up direction on the Down line at Castle Gresley working 1Q76 a Derby R.T.C. circular.
the predicted kp level of the auroras was only an unimpressive 3 (out of 9 possible). But the long exposure exagerates the auroras quite a bit but also increases the "comma" effect on the stars. - 9°C tonight but no wind ;)
Well the rain arrived as predicted to make it a soggy start to the Jubilee, but i'm continuing with my own personal sunny spell and photos from my sunny wildflower photo-shoot from earlier in the week. These next two were taken with the new 50mm, I primarily got it to work as a portrait lens (low light at weddings) but its nice to give it a workout on the landscape, the tight composition (it's about 80mm on a crop sensor body) and shallow dof making for some interesting choices.

It's been rainy weather for two days straight and they're predicting a third and fourth. It didn't stop the neighbohood kids from celebrating the beginning of the weekend.
Who says youth is wasted on the young?
It was predicted in the forecast....we chose not to believe it....we got it.
She always wanted a white wedding...but chose to have it in October for fear that guests would not show...9.7 inches of the white stuff later...she was right....some guests did not show, but it was the most beautiful day ever!
And now they are going from snow to sand...for their honeymoon.
I am super excited to get started on this one! But right now I am off to cook some chili on this snowy day.
I predict the Dip would have been super brief this year .... but it has been cancelled due to all the ice on the lake unfortunately. They plan on rescheduling for a later date - we'll keep you posted!
With a morning of sun predicted, the reality couldn’t have been further from it (shock) not to mention the lack of buses initially this morning compared to last week’s strike offering. The sun made a bit of a feeble attempt as SP40109 passed the camera on Convent Road, Ashford heading for Kingston
As predicted, the snow enforced a walk to work today although I did manage to hop on a bus about half way there. I didn't mind though as I got the opportunity to take a few photos en route.

Laut Aussage von:www.Nabu.de
Das Tagpfauenauge war Schmetterling des Jahres 2009 in Deutschland.
Ein Porträt des Tagpfauenauges: 🐛Anders als die hoch spezialisierten Raupen sind die Falter wenig wählerisch. Im zeitigen Frühjahr werden Weiden, Huflattich, Schlehen und Löwenzahn besucht, im Sommer mit Vorliebe rote und blauviolette Blüten.Das Tagpfauenauge, wissenschaftlich Inachis io, gehört zur Familie der Edelfalter, seine Flügelspannweite beträgt fünf bis sechs Zentimeter.Und wie bei Kleinem Fuchs, Admiral und Landkärtchen ernähren sich die Raupen nahezu ausschließlich von Brennnesseln, weshalb diese Arten auch als Brennnesselfalter zusammengefasst werden.Die jungen Raupen sind zunächst grüngelb gefärbt, später werden sie leuchtend schwarz mit weißen Punkten. Sie tragen fleischige, bedornte Fortsätze. Die Raupen treten in großen Nestern auf, sie leben also gemeinschaftlich und überziehen dabei mehrere Brennnesselpflanzen mit ihrem Gespinst. Bevorzugt werden dabei sonnige Standorte.Dank ihrer typischen Flügeloberseiten mit vier bunten Augen auf braunrotem Grund kann man das Tagpfauenauge kaum verwechseln. Die großen Augen sollen möglichst Fressfeinde abschrecken, umgekehrt dient die graubraune Flügelunterseite der Tarnung im zusammengeklappten Zustand.Anders als die hoch spezialisierten Raupen sind die Falter wenig wählerisch, mehr als 200 Nektarpflanzen wurden registriert. Im zeitigen Frühjahr werden Weiden, Huflattich, Schlehen, Pflaumen und Löwenzahn besucht, im Sommer mit Vorliebe rote und blauviolette Blüten. Wichtig sind dabei Disteln, Wasserdost, Flockenblumen und Skabiosen, Klee und Luzerne. Gerne fliegt das Tagpfauenauge auch Schmetterlingsflieder (Buddleia) im Garten oder auf Siedlungsbrachen und Bahnflächen an. 🐛
According from www.Nabu.de
A portrait of the daycare eye: unlike the highly specialized caterpillars, the moths are not very picky. In early spring, pastures, hoof slattish, slopes and dandelion are preferred to be red and blue -violet flowers in summer. The day -to -day eye, scientific inachis io, belongs to the family of the noble butterfly, its wing span is five to six centimeters. As with a small fox, admiral and country cards, the caterpillars eat almost exclusively from fuel, why are these types Also combined as a nettle butterfly. The young caterpillars are first colored, later they become bright black with white dots. They wear fleshy, so far. The caterpillars occur in large nests, so they live together and cover several nettle plants with their web. Sunny locations are preferred, thanks to their typical wing tops with four colorful eyes on a brown -red background you can hardly confuse the dayfall eye. The big eyes are supposed to scare as predictors as possible, conversely, the gray -brown underside of the camouflage is used in the composite condition. Other than the highly specialized caterpillars, the moths are little selective, more than 200 nectar plants have been registered. In early spring, pastures, hoof slattish, slopes, plums and dandelions are visited, in summer red and blue -violet flowers. It is important to thistle, water dost, flake flowers and skaboses, clover and lucerne. The dayfall eye also likes to fly butterfly lilac (Buddleia) in the garden or on settlement wasteland and railway areas.
This is one of my very close friends. his name I Dan.
Here he is predicting a Vancouver Canucks win while we were watching the game last night.

RBC Is First Bank to Predict Canada Headed For Recession in 2023
Economy to contract by annualized 0.5% pace in middle of year
‘Inflation has been too strong for too long’: economists

FIRST BANK
Private Company
Royal Bank of Canada became the first of the country’s major banks to predict the nation’s economy will fall into a recession next year amid four-decade high inflation, historic labor shortages and aggressive interest-rate hikes.
In a new set of projections released on Thursday, Canada’s largest bank said it expects back-to-back quarters of negative growth in 2023, a situation economists refer to as a technical recession.
The recession call illustrates the extent to which Canada’s resource-heavy economy -- which has been benefiting from the recent boom in energy prices -- remains vulnerable to global economic headwinds and higher borrowing costs that threaten to stall expansions in most major advanced economies.
Canada’s central bank will need to continue hiking into the slowdown to temper inflation expectations threatening to entrench price pressures, RBC said.
“Though higher rates will technically push Canada toward a contraction, the Bank of Canada now has little choice but to act,” according to the report, which was written by economists Nathan Janzen and Claire Fan. “Inflation has been too strong for too long and is starting to creep into longer-run business and consumer expectations.”
Earlier this week, the central bank’s quarterly surveys of executives and consumers showed inflation expectations over the next couple of years have hit a record in Canada: 78% of businesses expect the consumer price index to exceed 3% over next two years.
Still, the recession in Canada will likely be moderate and short-lived by historical standards and will be reversed once inflation settles enough for central banks to lower rates, RBC said.
The Canadian economy is expected to contract by an annualized 0.5% pace in the second and third quarters of 2023, according to the new forecasts. Growth will average 0.8% next year, down from 3.7% this year.
As the economic contraction plays out in 2023, Canada’s unemployment rate will likely rise about 1.5 percentage points to 6.6%, they said, adding that it wouldn’t take long to unwind that weakness in 2024 and beyond.
Toronto Office Vacancies Rise to a Record on Recession Fears
Royal Bank projects the Bank of Canada will increase its benchmark policy rate to 3.25% by the end of this year, from 1.5% right now. The central bank is widely expected to hike the overnight rate by three quarters of a percentage point at its next decision on July 13.
RBC cited a number of headwinds facing the nation’s economy.
While Canadians continue to fuel a recovery in the travel and hospitality sectors and higher commodity prices have boosted the mining and energy industries, RBC said soaring prices are cutting into households’ purchasing power. The housiing market, meanwhile, is sliding in some regions with prices in Toronto down 11% in four months.
Canada will also feel the spillover from slowing global growth. The US unemployment rate is expected to climb and emerging markets will struggle with higher food and energy prices and borrowing costs, acting as a drag on Canadian exports.
Even without rate hikes, labor shortages would be hampering Canada’s economy as businesses struggle to find workers to grow, Fan and Janzen said.
This was taken in March 2013. Might be worth nipping up to this spot after work tomorrow, so glad I finish at 3pm :-)
Living very near the coast I rarely used to venture inland.
However these days, it's the opposite and I'm finding myself in newly discovered woodland, well at least new to me ;-)
Mist was predicted yesterday morning and there was some about but not as much as I'd hoped for.
Despite this, the mist did do me a favour and diffused the light enabling me to capture a contrasty scene.
Unlike a plethora of super saturated colours I see these days, I like the muted winter palette.
Thanks for looking 😊

While predicting where the birds will overnight on this refuge is an iffy proposition, this shallow lake just off the tour-route road is a regular hangout. The trick is to check it out early to see if any pathfinder birds have already selected it. If so, they will continually vocalize to the overflying birds trying to entice them to drop down and join them (increasing safety in numbers). There are several blinds here that you can select for different vantage positions. It's still early, and this lake was eventually completely filled with overnighting birds.

Snow begins to drift when wind speeds exceed a threshold velocity of 5 meters per second. Of course, the quality of the snow already on the ground has much to do with this too, and its physical composition changes with the drifting process. The mechanisms involved can be difficult to predict. Extensive research and complex equations have been created in efforts to make those predictions.
Likewise, the reasons for which the majestic snowy owl seem to drift southward in unpredictable irruptions every few years are just as uncertain. The reproduction and survival of these exalted raptors of the north seem to be intimately tied to those of a rodent, the lemming. So population growth of the birds and the lemmings are at least part of the reason that some of these birds have traveled as far south as Bermuda. Each year, it seems, at least a few birds manage to make it to our region. I hope we will have ample opportunity to see them again this year. #SnowyOwl
It predicted many indivdual design features of Fords over the following three years. While it was a 'pushmobile', the press releases stated that it was planned around a gas turbine engine.
Have not shoot landscape for a while, as I had been busy in some projects lately, and not many interestingness in local also at this time of the year also.
When Yiupai reported sunset 24 hours earlier, I have no idea to go until I saw the cloud was going to make. I rushed to this spot to record the sunset burn.
Again, this sunset burn was predicted by Yiupai sunset forecast 24 hours earlier.
Experts make different forecasts: someone predicts a tough scenario, and someone is sure that the economy will not suffer much. Personally, I believe that any crises open up new opportunities, motivate, reveal our strengths and weaknesses, which should be worked on. Crises come and go, recession is replaced by growth. It has always been so. All that remains is not to panic, adapt and move forward.
⠀
And what do you think about this? Should we wait for an economic crisis or not? What does it depend on? Share 🙏 in the comments.

Early August 2023...
Storms were predicted & delivered right after midnight. Severe Warned for high winds & hail... This was a sculptured outflow dominate storm. I learned a long time ago doing night storm photography that you have some extra light to make this happen. Not the light from the storm but I use the city lights to help paint the sky.
Sitting now on the so called edge of the city (always expanding). One the few last places I can get good clear view of the sky to the west without power-lines... Probably the last year I can take snaps from this location since there is construction going on all around.
I forgot one of my nice 4k cams with extra sensitivity for night... Figures I had everything ready but forgot to load the battery. Cam in hand I went to town with this set of images with this most impressive ominous overnight shelf cloud. This was an Night Time Eye Candy Storm. What a beauty!

For the first time in seemingly weeks Friday was predicted to be perfect bluebird weather. Coupled with the news just released the day prior that the Pan Am Railways acquisition by CSXT had been approved I figured I should skip my beloved ex Boston and Albany for once and go to the old Boston and Maine before the changes come. While it won't happen overnight, it will be quicker than we expect before blue dip or ugly patched GEs are rare and intermodal trains on District 3 are but a memory.
With that in mind a look at the turnover revealed that a 22K was tied down at Fitchburg scheduled for an early recrew to bring into Ayer and that an EDPO was out of East Deerfield headed east and counterpart POED was moving with work at Graniteville before going west. Throw in regular AYPO building in Ayer and it was an unusual busy morning to the point that you actually had to make a choice what you wanted to focus on!
Anyway, first up I headed here to find 22K (47th Street Chicago to PAS Ayer) tied down on Main 2 just west of CPF FG as outbound Keolis/MBTA train 403 trails away for Fitchburg and Wachusett on Main 1. The standard NS SD60E has a colorful BNSF and UP GE duo trailing making for some nice variety here in the morning sun just west of Bemis Road at MP 48.3 (from North Station via the Fitchburg Route main) and 328.3 (from Mattawamkeag, ME via Pan Am's Freight Main).

Though all of our planning had us hoping for an epic chase day, but mother nature had other plans...
Traveled to western Nebraska to wait for the initiation of severe storms either in the Northeast section of Colorado or where the cape and moisture signatures were predicted for that afternoon and evening. We had our hopes up. The CAP would prevent any development of storms for us that day...
We had to move from eastern Colorado down to Northwest Kansas. Where....Finally thunderstorm initiation started just to the south of St. Francis Kansas. Not many pics from this set but it was good pickens for a bust chase day!

This morning was a bit of a bust at Kerry Park. I was hoping to arrive and see the fog that they predicted in the forecast and failing that a sliver of a moon should have been rising behind the city just as it was getting light. There wasn't any fog and there was a cloud bank where the moon would have been. D'oh!!
I carry a little LED flashlight in my camera bag which I used to illuminate the street sign. It took me several tries to get the photographer steady. It was below freezing so we were all dancing around a bit to keep warm. I also realized that if I took shorter exposures than him I had a better chance of him standing still throughout my exposure. I guess I could have hollered out and asked him to stand still for me but I prefer to shoot like a ninja. I don't know where the other two photographers went after they set up their cameras but they were missing some of the best light.
The weather forecast predicted some NLC display so I headed out to see it. While quite nice the were visible just barely above the horizon. I was hoping for more clouds like this around the sky this setting allowed to see the milky way at the same time as the NLC - pretty cool :)
Anyway the sky was pretty bright, I had to choose ISO 1600 and even stopped down to f/2.8 to not overexpose the highlights (NLC). This lead to a generally low visibility of the night sky.
NLC happen mostly in summer and when viewed to the north. They are located in the Mesopause, about 90-100km above earth (imagine this, there are clouds in 'space'). Also I have never seen such pattern of clouds (apart from the forum post the other day). These clouds are the highest clouds by a big margin (nex would be 60km lower or so!)

The predicted actions of leaders
Who fall into helplessness
Who becomes passive, indecisive, and depressed
What to do when we are faced by failure
From childhood to adulthood
The accumulation of negative experience
From one season to the next
Sensing loss of influence
And the failure of accomplishment
Then emphasizing caution and risk aversion
By weighing loss
And not promoting gain
How to then
Regain pervasiveness
Take positive action
And aggressively take risks

Took this shot last night when I went out with the pup for a bit, kind of nice seeing some bare ground but that's only around the spruce trees that reflect and catcht the sun . This is right beside my place in my neighbours pasture. Right now it's great to be able to almost walk normally again.
By tomorrow morning everything should be nice and white again as there predicting 10" of snow by tomorrow night.
Hope your all having a great weekend. I know spring will be here for us soon.
This shot really comes to life when viewd in the light box.
