Noisy storm going overhead - constant rumbling for 20 minutes or more, and lots of sheet lightning. There was the odd horizontal lighting strike, and with over 50 photos, I captured just one!
Storm still going on, photo taken at 20:30, and now 21:30!

At the weekend I was back at Rumbling bridge and managed an hour or so out with the camera. The weather was dull and overcast but the colour was amazing as ever. The green moss is absolutely electric. I would never have believed such a strong bright colour was possible in such a dark and secluded place.

“They heard a distant rumbling, like thunder on the peaks, or mountains crumbling, or huge waves crashing to shore, and the earth shook with each rumble.
“My husband is coming home,” said the giantess. “I hear his gentle footsteps in the distance.”

A few of many from the chaos last night. Shot from the bedroom and loft window. This is looking South towards Lichfield/Cannock and Cheadle. It took around 45mins for it to reach us and it was then bedlam! I was taking 1sec exposures and the sky was blowing out!
As I type now there is another storm on the way :)
All triggered using the MIOPS set to Lightning mode... brilliant piece of kit...
A freight train rumbles through the town of Truckee on a cold snowy day. Truckee is a great place for railroad shots, but you have to get used to having cold camera hands--really cold camera hands. It's hard to snap that shutter wearing bulky gloves.

Once a proud symbol of London’s rumbling routine, this classic red Routemaster now glides through the streets of Edinburgh with a teapot at the ready. Repainted in nostalgia and refitted for leisure, it offers tourists afternoon tea with a moving view — proving that even a bus can reinvent itself as a rolling parlour with scones, jam, and just a touch of whimsy.

Symbole londonien d’une époque, ce vieux Routemaster rouge a troqué le tumulte des trajets quotidiens pour les douceurs d’Édimbourg. Converti en salon de thé roulant, il propose aux visiteurs une pause gourmande avec vue panoramique. Comme quoi, même les bus ont droit à une seconde vie — pleine de thé, de scones, et de charme britannique.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - The night started out clear and quiet with the Milky Way shining brightly to the south. Then one by one the stars began to disappear, first to the north, then to the west. Flashes of light soon caught my attention, each one closer than the last. Even though I was trying to go to sleep, I could ignore the storm no longer. I went to the opposite side of the 400' high rock formation called Boar's Tusk, where I was camping. The long-dormant remnant of a volcano now came alive with a different kind of rumble. Focusing and exposure were tricky in the pitch black, but eventually I caught this double lightning strike. I felt lucky to witness rain in the Red Desert because under 10 inches falls here annually, with even less in a drought year. The parched ground absorbed the water and released the smell of petrichor. In Southwest Wyoming the Continental Divide splits to form the Great Divide Basin. So the little rain that does fall here never makes it to the ocean and mostly evaporates.

Number 263 of my 365 photo challenge - A longish exposure, stitched panorama, landscape image of the falls at Rumbling Bridge near Dunkeld in Perthshire, Scotland.
Hyperfocal distance is hard at this focal length so the foreground isn't quite as sharp as I would have liked it.
Calm amid the torrent
While scrambling around the rocks at Rumbling Bridge – looking for different angles on the rapids and falls – I stumbled across this pool. I liked the juxtaposition with the fast-flowing river. I also liked the reflection of the trees in it.
While processing the image, I decided to convert it to black and white and pull through the colours of the reflections in the pool. It’s a bit weird… but I like it.

Ooopsy. I lied. THIS is the last Glacier post that I have.
These Mammatus clouds were spread out all the way above and behind us, looking like giant cotton balls of light. You could hear the thunder rumbling as we hiked out, but we stayed high and dry. My wife was busy trying to find a bear, the Turners were busy shooting the goats, Ryan was busy making a new friend :), and the ground squirrels were busy trying to steal a fellow photographers backpack. Not kidding. They were literally trying to figure out how to lift a lens out of his bag. That left Megan Lorenz, her totally cool husband Chris, and I to do a little shooting.
Megs and I are set up, merrily firing away. As the sky starts to light up, Megan says to me "what do you think of this". I look in her LCD screen and see the left side of the lake. Basically no mountain, and very little of the clouds. I try to be gentle.
"Looks pretty good, but if It were mine, I'd probably try to include a little more of the mountain."
She nods thoughtfully, and moves her tripod a centimeter. I look at her LCD again; basically no change. I am really confused now.
"Yeah, that's getting better, but I'd probably try to put the whole peak in the image".
Another whisper of movement to her tripod. Another shot. Same result. Finally, I just can't take it, because the light is getting good, and I don't want her to miss it. I come over and look through the camera to compose the shot for her. Through the viewfinder I see the perfect comp, mountain framed beautifully with epic skies forming above. WTF? The camera is only recording the left 1/3 of the scene, so what I was seeing in the LCD was not even close to what she is seeing in the viewfinder. I'm pretty sure we both thought the other was completely nuts.
Turn camera off, then on. Replace battery. Replace memory card. Nothing is working. Megan is holding it together pretty well, but I'm about to cry. Thank God Ryan is there, because I was completely worthless.... as I am in most emergencies. :) Just kidding, as that is probably not what you want to hear from your pilot.
So I'm now snapping pictures with my camera and Ryan's camera while basically trying to stay out of the way so that he can get into some sub-menu of a sub-menu and get Megan's camera restored back to normal settings. Thanks to his quick work, we all got some shots of the beautiful light.
I remember hiking down, thankful for having such great friends and family to share such a spectacular light show with.
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.

The storm is rumbling outside, it is very dark and dramatic in here. The thunder and lightning today would seem to be just right for a thriller based movie film. We are safe and dry with exceptional Works of Art to view before the Museum closes for the day. This is the end of our trip to amazing Berlin.

This varied walk is a real Perthshire classic. It begins through the beautiful wooded glen of the Hermitage, complete with picturesque follies and attractive waterfalls. The route then continues to visit the dramatic Rumbling Bridge before a return through more open countryside with attractive views. The Hermitage is owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
TERRAIN
Clear waymarked paths, tracks and minor roads.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Buses and trains to Dunkeld, 2km from start of walk.
START
The Hermitage car park off the A9 (charge)
Walk Description
STAGE 1
The walk begins at the Hermitage car park (NTS, parking charge), where there is a seasonal cafe kiosk but no toilets. Begin from the lower part of the car park on the signed path beside the River Braan. Walk through the underpass under the railway and continue along the river bank, joining another path coming in from the right. Eventually the path forks; take the left fork. This soon leads to where a picturesque bridge (with a tunnel beneath) spans the river, overlooking a waterfall. Just to the right is Ossian's Hall - a folly built as the centre piece of The Hermitage, which was created as a wild garden by the son in law of the second Duke of Atholl.
STAGE 2
You can enter the hall which has two chambers and a viewing terrace overlooking the spectacular falls on the River Braan. The building helped to create drama for visitors by revealing the falls only at the last moment, which was considered to increase the effect. From the hall continue on the main path through the woods heading upstream above the Braan - ignoring a branch off to the right.
STAGE 3
Soon you reach Ossian's cave, part of the Hermitage. Keep straight on where a track comes in from the right and a minor path goes left, continuing until another cross-paths with a wall ahead - turn left here, signed for Braan Path to Rumbling Bridge.
STAGE 4
The path leads aross a footbridge through a gate, continuing across open grazing land. Eventually a kissing gate leads out onto a minor road. Turn left downhill along the road, soon reaching and crossing the Rumbling Bridge, an old stone bridge high above a dramatic gorge, with waterfalls below.
STAGE 5
After crossing the bridge continuing briefly along the road before taking a path off to the left - marked with a wooden marker post with a green arrow. The path climbs gently through the trees; there is a viewpoint off to the left at one point, and further on a second viewpoint with a bench and good views back of the Rumbling Bridge. The path continues through pleasant native woodland. When the path emerges at a road go straight across and continue along the track opposite.
STAGE 6
As the track heads uphill, turn left at a junction (signpost 'Braan Walk') and follow the grassy track straight ahead when the main train heads into the garden of the house at Tomgarrow. The track eventually heads to a gate and stile leading into a pine and birchwood. Just before you reach another house fork right onto a footpath which passes the house and then crosses a small bridge and through another gate to enter Ladywell plantation. Turn left at the forest track, still following the signs. Keep on the main track ignoring another track to the right. This passes descends through forestry until it reaches another track where you turn sharp left to complete the descent and emerge on a road.
STAGE 7
Cross the road and descend through the trees to reach a minor road, opposite the Inver car park. Turn right along this road until a junction, then take a left turn to follow the road across Inver Bridge over the River Braan. The road now continues through the hamlet of Inver, with attractive cottages and a large old whitewashed house. At the end it becomes a footpath and leads up to come alongside the busy A9. It continues beside the A9 before emerging at the entrance to the Hermitage car park and the start of the walk.
Late afternoon storms rumbling over the Tetons often bring about some of the most dramatic and unique sunsets.
I thought there might be a bit of lightning activity here tonight out near Howard Springs way. Lots of rumblings in the sky to the south but it all died out before it got here. There were some intense colours in the sunset anyway.

Colas Rail Class 60, No.60056 is pictured rumbling towards the camera at Muston (between Bottesford and Grantham) whilst in charge of 6E82, the 12:16 Rectory Junction - Lindsey Oil Refinery discharged tank service.
Hearing rumblings of a daylight ballast work extra on the eastern end of the Hopewell Sub, Geoff Doane and I made arrangements to head out early in the morning on October 3rd and give chase. The radio was relatively quiet as we pulled into the yard at Havre Boucher to find a small pile of ballast and nothing more. We began to retrace our steps until we came across the short six car extra just west of Tracadie. Over 50% of the cars housed plain bearings which restricted the crew to 15 MPH, whether spreading or not. The sun even presented itself when needed, as shortly before 1000, CBNS 1563 & LLPX 1504 emit some smoke climbing out of Afton Station.
After a total drop off of oil trains, there have been rumblings that they may start to pick up again. Evidence that may be the case showed up on the last day of November when a loaded UP oil train came east off the Moffat. The train started in Helper and took 36 hours to make it to Denver! Note the new construction occurring on the north side of the tracks. Several multi-family homes and a few businesses (including a gas station) are being built here.
This is the first UP oil train to run on the Moffat since April!

Rumbling along the Clark Fork west of Trout Creek, Montana, on the morning of October 4, 2014, is eastbound BNSF MSPOLAU with an all-EMD seven locomotive consist. Three MRL SD45s lead orange GP39-2, SD70MAC and SD70ACe power, followed by another MRL SD45.
Just updating my original post as I thought this was a liverwort. After posting on a community page on Facebook I am reliably informed that this is a Dog Lichen Peltigera sp. probably membrenacea. From the 20 p coin it is obviously quite large. There is another species of Peltigera in the top right corner (probably hymenina). An expert, David Whitaker has helped me out on this and says that with the several species of moss and the rest there may be a dozen lower plant species in this small area which is less than a square foot. We really don't appreciate what is under our feet at times

Waterfalls are not really my strong point, if I even have a strong point....but I do like having a bash at it, this was taken at Rumbling Bridge in Kinross and the light just low enough for a longer exposure...I guess I should invest in a ND filter if I want this kind of effect...anyhow best of a bad bunch.
