Well the hour by hour weather forecast was clear all night with low level Aurora activity
We met Launceston photographer Ben Swanson who was chasing some Aurora Australis images also

The moonset at 11.15pm when I changed the ISO to allow for the lighting change
I didn`t change the white balance
The colour of the night sky without the moonlight is always a bit of a lottery
This shows how the moonlight effects your night images

I stopped it then to shoot panos as the Milky Way had rotated into position running east / west around 3am
With the weather as fickle as it was I didn`t want to miss the opportunity at this scene

The weather forecast called for incoming clouds ahead of our next weather system. Armed with that info, I headed out to Fullerton Beach.
I decided to wipe the dust off of my ND filter and a two shot panorama for this look back at the city.
With a decent weather forecast for Saturday morning I decided to explore the Durham coast, an area I've not photographed before. The low winter sun was worth braving the freezing temperatures for, and with a number of freight workings and ECML diversions there was plenty of traffic on the line to make the trip worthwhile.

Crimdon was a popular resort with many mining families taking their holidays in the area. Today the area has been much improved as part of the Durham Heritage coast. The viaduct dates from 1905.

The weather forecast was to clear out from the West later in the day and so I ventured to Red Bank for the returning Pathfinder Tours 'The Settle & Carlisle Explorer'. Seen here making up time on the descent to Winwick Junction and long time mate and railtour stalwart Bob Hilton 'window leaning' out of the first coach. A bonus was the Blue/Grey MK2 set behind two DRS Blue locos.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit für weiße Weihnachten in Deutschland sind in diesem Jahr sehr gering.
Vielleicht liegt ab 800 bis 900 Meter etwas Schnee.
Ab Mitte der kommenden Woche soll sich ein Hoch bei uns aufbauen, das wahrscheinlich bis zum vierten Advent und darüber hinaus anhält.
Es wird mild und windig.
Nach einem stürmischen Wochenende sind die Aussichten laut den DWD-Wetterexperten am Montag „milder bis sehr milder“, bei Temperaturen zwischen 7 und 12 Grad.
Im Süden mit Föhnsturm bis zu 14 Grad.
Der Hundertjährige Kalender gibt Hoffnung:.
20. bis 28. Dezember Regen, in höheren Lagen der erste Schnee, der liegen bleibt.

The weather forecast was that the day was going to be a washout, but they were wrong! It a was quite windy, but finding a sheltered spot out of the wind helped me to capture some macro shots.
The weather forecast for Melbourne had warned of another hot day, so we decided to check out of our Hotel by 9:30am and head straight for the airport – even though our Flight didn’t leave until 6:20pm! We assumed – or at least hoped – the airport terminal would have air conditioning! (It did!); why swelter in the heat when we could enjoy cool temperatures?!?
Officialdom was a little surprised that we were checking in so early ("You don't even have a Gate Number on your Boarding Pass!"), but before too long, we were sitting in an empty Lounge, gazing out on to a very busy runway... Wellington Airport is very small; Singapore Airlines land their Boeing 777 on our short runway, but apart from that, all other Airlines (and you can count the number on one hand) use Boeing 737, Airbus A320 or smaller (There’s even an elderly Convair 580 still in regular use!).
Consequently, we were somewhat intrigued - fascinated - by the variety, size and colourful liveries of the aircraft coming and going every few seconds...! And better still: there was plenty of opportunity to photograph some of these planes – even though there was a large plate glass window in front of us!
However, when we saw our Air New Zealand A320 touch down in the middle of the afternoon, (above) we knew it was definitely time to say "Goodbye"!

It had been a wonderful 10 days, we'd met some wonderful people, and we'd seen some amazing Sights, but from the moment we saw this small black and white-liveried A320 with the Koru and Silver Fern painted boldly on the rear of its fuselage, we just wanted to go home...
But we will return...!

The first upload from my visit to Beadnell this morning.
The weather forecast looked good for the east coast so I had decided to visit this location as I have only been once before, I now find myself asking why I haven't been more often! Its a great location with some beautiful south facing rocks making it wonderful at this time of year for both sunrise and sunset photos. The rock is a beautiful colour changing from a red to yellows as you move from the harbour east towards a point that faces out into the north sea. The harbour itself presents some good photo opportunities and is noted for being the only west facing harbour on the east coast.
I will be back!

The weather forecast yesterday was for a first class sunrise on the Northumbrian coast, so decided to head out early to capture it. Personally I would have preferred more clouds, but it wasn't to be. So here's a shot from the beach at Bamburgh.
Except for leveling, SOOC.It looked like a thunderstorm was coming, but the sun won out. Thanks for your patience. Still catching up!

This is what we are expecting the next 7 days.. Nights aren't much better.. Sure am glad I have AC...
Saturday, 6 July 2019, 5:15 pm - here comes the rain and thunder. Our weather forecast for today, 6 July 2019, from the Weather Network:
"A multi-day severe storm threat looms for the Prairies. This weekend is ripe with storm risk, with Saturday's thunderstorms set to fire for the afternoon and evening, along with some tornado chance on the table for southern Alberta -- something visitors to the Calgary Stampede should keep an eye on."
This morning, 6 July 2019, I am posting 7 more photos taken three days ago, on a drive south to Frank Lake. Yet again, when I checked the weather forecast, it said continuing rain for day after day after day. However, the sun was shining when I decided to drive south. The clouds were sufficiently photogenic for me to change my plans and, instead of calling in at the Saskatoon Farm, I drove straight to the Lake.
The previous time I was at Frank Lake, there was one Coot, two Canada Geese, and a Red-winged and a Yellow-headed Blackbird. Two days ago, it was so much better! The Barn Swallows were there, having built their nest a few feet away from their previous nest site. The Eared Grebes had their tiny, adorable babies, sometimes riding on their back, other times swimming separately. Same thing with the Coots - some had very young babies; others had somewhat older youngsters. One Coot adult and baby were walking in thick mud, searching for food. They both looked such a mess, as if they had rolled in the mud. A pair of Western Grebes could be seen far in the distance.
"In the fall, almost the entire population of Eared Grebes flies to Mono Lake, California, or Great Salt Lake, Utah, to fatten up on brine shrimp and alkali flies before migrating farther south. Here they more than double their weight, and the sizes of their muscles and organs change. The pectoral (chest) muscles shrink to the point of flightlessness and the digestive organs grow significantly. Before departure for the wintering grounds, the process reverses; the digestive organs shrink back to about one-fourth their peak size, and the heart and pectoral muscles grow quickly to allow for flight." From AllAboutBirds.

The sky began to change - the white clouds were taken over by rather menacing black ones and it became windy and the rain started. I really didn't want to drive back home on the very busy highway in pouring rain, but after waiting and hoping for it to end, I eventually had no choice but to risk it. As it turned out, there was hardly any traffic going north.
It has been raining on and off for something like three weeks now, and everyone is tired of the rain. The famous 9-day Calgary Stampede runs from 5-14 July this year and rain during Stampede makes things so unpleasant! Judging by my Stampede photos posted on Flickr, I haven't been since 2013, when I went with my daughter - surely it hasn't been that long? I know I haven't been the last few years, as it was feeling just too much to deal with. Happy to be away from the huge masses of people and the sickening smell of grease, ha, ha! Of course, not going means not getting any mini-donuts, too. Happy Stampeding, everyone! May the sun shine ....
The weather forecast this week was impressive for once! This led to a self-imposed challenge to post a sunset shot a day for a week on Facebook. A great way to spend an hour or so a night! These are the ones that I chose: in retrospect maybe not technically the best but I was still quite pleased with the outcome! There are many more to sift through: it has been a brilliant week!
The weather forecast was iffy, and we considered hiking another day. THANK GOODNESS we went, because it was a perfect day's hike: not too hot, not too cold; a little breeze to keep things fresh; and a trail with snow nicely packed down, but not icy. It was a bit unusual for us, because we could see from the cloud movement there were big winds afoot, but this time, they were from the north, and we were completely sheltered from them the entire hike. An odd thing happened as well. Early, we met a fellow descending on a mountain bike. He looked a little worried, because he lost track of his dog Cypress. When we returned to the trailhead, we saw that his car was gone, so we're assuming there was a happy ending to his story. Total return distance, 7.4 km's, total elevation gain, 706 m's, moving time, 2 hrs, 27 minutes; total time, 3 hrs, 17 minutes.
I should know better than to trust weather forecasters, yes? Today they promised sunny, Saturday (my next day off) they promise clouds. Without a good, cloudy sky today, I decided to save the beach for Saturday - today I would check out a new location (new for me), Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. So of course, the entire time at the refuge I'm seeing really great cloudy skies - and thinking about all the long exposures I could be doing. I thought of dashing down to the beach but decided against it. I figured as soon as I did the clouds would break and I did want to explore Bombay Hook. I'd had enough after five hours and almost headed home - then thought, oh what the hell, the beach was an hour away. I had time, I might not get clouds but I had time.
Well, the clouds did break a little, not as dramatic as they had been earlier. But as I walked onto the beach, I saw that I'd caught low tide. As many times as I've been to this spot, I have never managed to catch it at low tide - I always thought there were just six of these pilings. I'm glad I didn't give in to my pessimist! :)
The weather forecast for tomorrow calls for snow. Today though, the crocus are finally poking out of the ground.
Spring is definitely here!
Ziva is the weather-girl and is very happy because she had predicted snowfall and now all the crew can play in the snow.
Since the weather forecast for the rest of the Easter isn't good, we went out at sea again this morning, to get some more photos of the white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) and common guillemots before the rain set in this afternoon.
In addition, we also got good photos of an unexpected species, when I spotted three red-throated divers in a still bay this morning. I have never seen them on the island I'm from before, and I think I got my best photos of them so far.
Yesterday we had 13 eagles up close, today we had 10. Right before going back to the harbour after the first raindrops, six of the eagles gathered around us in all directions. Pretty fun! We didn't get all of them to catch our fish, but half of them did.
This one is from the same spot last year, since I just got home from today's trip.
It is ringed and called 1116. Here it was 13 years old, but I also photographed it later on, when it was nearly 16. (They can live for more than 20 years in the wild.)
It was ringed in a nest in Finnøy in Ryfylke further south.

I don't remember the weather forecast saying that we would be getting snow today, 28 October 2016 - I'm sure it only said rain. Anyway, it's snowing again this morning, with a temperature of 0°C (32°F) and windchill -2°C (28°F).
Usually, I don't have three long day outings within five days, except during the Christmas Bird Counts, but two days ago, I was lucky enough to go with friends, Shirley and Anne, for a day's outing SW and SE of the city.
We had a very early start, 7:00 am, and drove west of the city to start with, driving to the far end of Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66). While at Elbow Falls, we saw a pair of American Dippers flying from rock to rock. They were vocalizing, too, which I had never heard before.
Though there seemed to be very few birds to be seen all day, we were so lucky to see a total of four Moose - two at each of two different locations SW of the city. It is always nice to see a Moose, and to see four in one day was a real treat. The second two were fairly young ones.
From Elbow Falls Trail, we drove down through the Millarville area and finally ended up east of High River. We found one of the Great Horned Owls that everyone had been following earlier in the year, along with a nearby little American Tree Sparrow. We did see a few Hawks, including a Rough-legged Hawk on a hay bale and a very dark morph Hawk later in the day.
A great day, ladies - thank you so much for inviting me along and thanks so much, Shirley, for driving! Greatly appreciated. So glad we didn't have today's weather instead!
Predicted rain came close but did not arrive at White Sands National Monument near Alamogordo, NM on the evening of the full moon.
Due to the weather forecast predicted for this weekend (which so far has been spot on with rain at sunset) I went out for a couple of hours Friday evening after work visited Langstone Harbour, Hampshire and had a go at capturing the sunset close to the remaining structure of the Hayling Billy Line Rail Station.
Due to the blustery westerly wind I tried a long exposure to provide some mystical drama to image and experienced a bit of colour in the sky.
75 second exposure using a Lee 'Little Stopper' 6 stop ND filter + 0.9 ND grad filter over the sky.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
The weather forecast for a week is not good for photography. But, the first real cold weather of the season will turn on the bucks. I'll be out some. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
It is the 1st of May and the weather forecast is predicting a warm (well hot for autumnal May) 23°C day today, meaning most likely an overnight northerly. And that usually means good skies at the beach in the morning, so I was up early and down to the beach.
And I was not disappointed. 18 minutes before sunrise.
There were a couple of other photographers present and already a few crabbers on the pier, but fishing and crabbing is now banned on Sundays from 10am to 5pm.
Later this year the pier is closing for NZ$11 million in earthquake repairs (damage mainly from the 2011 series of quakes, but also the Valentines Day quake this year). People are amazed at the cost of the repairs considering it was built less than 20 years ago for NZ$4 million. It is expected to be closed for around 18 months.
Please do not invite my image to a group where there are compulsory comments, favs or awards. I will fav and comment on photos at my own discretion.
According to the weather forecast, it should be mostly cloudy that night. Luckily the weather didn't hold up and it was clear most of the night with a few hazy clouds. However, the Northern Lights came very late, the show started around one o'clock in the morning. This was a bit unexpected and since I didn't know how long the lights would dance, I didn't take the time to drive to Goðafoss, about 15 minutes away. Instead, I took photos in an open field right next to my accommodation, which turned out to be a stroke of luck because the lights dance across the entire northern sky from west to east. At Goðafoss, the waterfall in the foreground gives direction and I would have missed a large part of the spectacle there.
Well, the weather forecast for Kananaskis for yesterday, 24 September 2019, was not exactly accurate - sun, with cloud in the afternoon. They kind of forgot to mention the strong wind, light rain .... and SNOW! For a few minutes, it was one kind of weather, then a few more minutes of a different kind, repeated throughout the afternoon.
Our temperatures are falling - forecast for rain tomorrow, rain and snow the next day, then two days of snow with temps down to 0C and -1C. What a way to celebrate the first few days of fall. The expected snow will probably remove quite a few of the golden leaves, so I wanted anther chance to see and photograph them while I had the chance.
The sky was blue when I set out yesterday morning and I felt quite hopeful. When I go to Kananaskis, I always go south from the city. I had no idea where I would be going, but I knew that it wouldn't be as far as I would have liked. As it turned out, I had a few surprises along the way, so it was a real mixed day of photo opportunities - my favourite kind of day.
After stopping to take a few scenic shots on the way to the main highway through Kananaskis, I eventually reached the area where the American Pikas live. I really lucked out almost straight away, as the only few photos I took were when one Pika showed itself, and that was within maybe ten minutes. By this time, the wind was strong and it was snowing, and it was cold! Time to get out of there, as the scree slope is treacherous enough on a calm, clear day.
Driving further north, I was delighted to see a convoy of maybe a dozen beautiful old cars heading in my direction. Couldn't resist, so I followed them when they turned off into a small picnic area. I asked if I could take a few quick photos and they were happy enough for me to do that. One car owner did comment about blurry photos because of the falling snow, but surprisingly my photos came out sharp enough.
Further on, I made a quick stop at another pull-off and was happy to notice a few mushrooms. When I turned around to head for home, I was even happier. I pulled over to take a photo of one of the mountain peaks. One tiny white speck in the distance, just off the road, caught my eye. When I went to check it out, I found myself staring at a little group of Shaggy Mane/Ink Cap mushrooms. The largest one had already started the process of curling up the rim of its cap and dripping a black ink. So much rain this year has resulted in such an amazing fungi season.
Much closer to home, I decided to take a side road that has such beautiful hill and mountain views. An old wooden barn was a welcome surprise - I don't remember seeing this one before.
So, a lovely day out, driving 320 km, with such a mixture of weather and sightings. So glad I did decide to go - as usual, a very last minute decision, but basically, I just need to grab my cameras and go : )
The weather forecast was rain and thick cloud, however a hint of blue sky tempted me out, and for 2 hours patches of sunshine broke through the clouds briefly, it was definitely a case of chasing the light and occasionally catching it.
I was rest day today. Weather forecast was cack so I'd no rail-related plans on the board.
That was until word came through that the 05.46 BIF - CAR had been terminated at Workington and the job stopped northbound. I headed straight down there to take a butcher's.
Turned out that 37409 had sat down with some electrical malaise and was immobilised in P2. Assistance was required and an at that point unidentified loco had been summoned from Kingmoor.
Here the shut-down set is seen in a station that was deserted due to the pax being outside awaiting their replacement buses.
After several days of anticipation, Toronto received the winter storm that has hit large portions of North America.
This lonely pedestrian has opted to walk in the street to avoid slippery sidewalks. The scarcity of car traffic this morning makes walking in the street an option.
I could enjoy imaging of the comet in the morning in the weekend, though weather forecast was not fair. The comet was low in the northeast, about 8 degrees at the beginning of exposure and about 13 degrees at the end of exposure.
The comet was drifting toward east a bit southward in Lacerta. It was getting brighter steadily. Dust coma was small and round. Dust tail was fan-shaped toward north northwest faintly and widely. Ion halo was round and beautiful, a bit bigger than before, and a bit wider toward north as before. Ion tail was toward north a bit eastward. North is up, and east is to the left.
Here is a frame of the comet taken on February 15, 2024. I made the vertical angular size of the frame the same.

The weather forecast for yesterday, 27 August 2021, was originally for rain, and I almost cancelled out for a Fungi Foray west of Calgary. This was the first chance I had to get out and look for fungi this season, so I would have been very disappointed to miss it. Deciding to risk it, I joined a few others to go on a three-hour walk through the forest, searching for mushrooms and anything else of interest. We were so lucky that the rain stayed away.
We were successful in finding a number of small or very tiny fungi species, but there was a very obvious lack of larger species, especially Boletes. Makes one wonder if perhaps someone had very recently been through the forest, collecting all the Boletes to cook. Our leader, Karel, found one of my absolute favourite mushrooms, Strawberries and Cream fungus / Hydnellum peckii. It was still young so did not have any of the ruby coloured droplets on the top surface. (Two previously posted photos in comments.)
Three hours of searching produced enough species to make the walk worthwhile. My photos are not going to be too interesting and most definitely not spectacular. It's always a real challenge to get photos when there is a group of people standing around the leader - some tall people, too : )
After the walk, I decided to call in at another forested area before driving home. Just a twenty-minute walk and most unrewarding. In 2019, this area had many beautiful mushrooms. The photo I posted today of Wolf's Milk slime was taken at this location. We did see some on our foray, but my photos were rather blown out.
The weather forecast looked good for this morning, so I thought I would head to **** as I have seen some fantastic shots of this place, most recently from Dougie and Anita. I knew what the place was like, so my brother came along as I enjoy the company and there is a very long (and spooky!) tunnel that goes under the cliffs so you can get to this spot. It was then I found these rocks and never realised the Jetty beside the rocks was so narrow!
I apologise in advance as the photo is quite grainy, I have tried my best to reduce the noise in Lightroom 4..
Thanks for viewing.

60002 Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970-2020 passes Pelaw, working 6N85 08.58 Lynemouth Power Station - Tyne Coal Terminal biomass empties.
The weather forecast for this morning was for full sun (with cloud rolling in later) and, unlike the previous day, it was correct and there was indeed a cloudless sky. If the forecast had been correct, I'd planned to head for the Ashington area for a shot of the mid-morning biomass arrival around Woodhorn. But when I checked Realtime Trains, that working had been activated exactly three hours ahead of booked departure (so automatically) and did not have a loco shown (the previous day it had had a loco shown hours in advance), so I guessed it wouldn't run. The early train had, however, but on Saturdays there are two schedules for the empties returning (at 08.58 and 09.59 from Lynemouth) - and both had been activated manually, with neither initially showing a loco.
Having had lots of early mornings for several consecutive weeks, I decided to snooze for a bit longer. By the time I'd stirred again, RTT showed 60002 allocated to the earlier train and there was not now enough time to go north of the Tyne (and, anyway, I had remembered - slightly incorrectly for April, it turns out - that the sun is not quite on the front for the earlier path). So Pelaw it would be, although I have done shots here repeatedly over the years!
I did, however, just have time to divert via Fellgate to look at the possibility of a shot from ground level (the bottom of the embankment, by the boundary fence) immediately west of the Metro station, using the pole. I'd seen shots here a few years ago, but knew that the vegetation had grown up since. I spent a few minutes wandering around without actually raising the pole, and decided that it might be better to experiment later with Metro services (which I didn't actually do) - plus I wasn't sure my pole was high enough to make it anything more than a "train on a railway line" shot.
The usual shot I do at Pelaw is from the tall concrete bridge over the Metro reversing sidings, east of the station. But since you can park very close to the station on Saturdays (it's resident permit holders only on weekdays), I thought I'd try the shot from the footbridge at the station - or at least have a look at it. To avoid the Metro OHL masts as well as a signal, you stand fairly head-on (although actually not much more so than on the other footbridge now that the trees have grown back). Again, I've done the shot several times, although I don't think with a biomass train. I photographed a four-car class 156 DMU.
And then I wondered what the shot was like from the Metro station platform. So, with 6N85 already at Park Lane Jn. and therefore less than five minutes away, I went to have a look - and I liked the angle I found. The PIS display showed the next Metro services due in two minutes and in nine minutes, while RTT was showing 6N85 expected at Heworth in three. The chances of being bowled were looking low. The first Metro service arrived, passengers boarded and alighted, and just as the door closing tone sounded, 60002 appeared under the bridge at Heworth. No sweat - although I did have to ask a couple of people waiting for the next Metro and walking backwards and forwards on the edge of my shot if they could stay back for a moment.
6N87 was, of course, approaching a red signal (they still "double block", I believe, with heavy rail trains being at least two signal sections behind Metro services), and was going very slowly. I fired a burst of thirty-one frames (although I think there might have a few more during that burst which, for some reason, didn't save to the memory card or didn't actually take - there are four occasions between frames where the train moves forward a greater distance), and this was the twenty-eighth, chosen because the shadow of Down Line signal T47 is between the first and second wagons. I was stood as far back as I could to be this wide, thus maximising the space to the left of the OHL mast on the right and its supporting cable, although afterwards I'd wished I'd stood slightly to the right and hidden the reflection of the sun in the DOO mirror on the extreme left. I could have changed to a wider lens (31mm, equivalent to 46.5mm; this is equivalent to 75mm), but it all fitted using this lens.
The train was moving so slowly (I think it briefly came to a halt) that I was able to walk back along the platform and take a second shot! I also tried to beat it down to the next footbridge (which meant returning to the car for my ladders, but I then drove down the access road), but as I got out of the car I heard the 60 accelerating from its signal stop.

The weather forecast was grim, (high winds and rain) so I stayed home and worked on a few shots in "lightroom".
As it turned out the weather is actually bright sunny and calm; so I am off out for a walk.
Stay home, stay safe, get vaccinated when you can.
(The ends in sight but its not over yet)
Because the weather forecast was acceptable, and this may well have been the last year (like every year, recently...) that upplementary night trains to Briançon were scheduled in February and March to bring skiers to their destination, I descended to the Briançon region on the busiest Saturday, when the regular night train was accompanied by three extra trains. Since this year, the regular night train no longer employs the venerable BB 67300 class locos, but ex-BB 75000 locos which have been converted for hauling passenger trains and renumbered in the BB 75300 class. Here, BB 75333 and 75340 (accompanied by shunter Y 8248) are parked at Briançon station, awaiting their duty the next evening. Briançon, 26-02-2016.
Weather forecasts not conclusive, so decided to go local in case it turned out unsuitable. We shouldn't have worried the light was great and didn't cloud over until early afternoon. This was our first stop 'The Pool' in Melbourne South Derbyshire.
We only saw one pair today, the ♂ came in close eventually, but the ♀ was quite shy staying distant.

The weather forecast wasn't great, but it ended up not raining on Sunday. So I met up with NJ again for two hours of wandering. Thanks again, NJ! Pender Street, downtown Vancouver. November 10, 2013.
