The weather forecast called for clouds, so I took a gamble and drove 90 minutes to this location, which I've been wanting to check out for quite some time. It was a super-low negative tide, so I knew there would be no issues getting through the Hole in the Wall.
I discovered that climbing the rocks from the beach to get to this spot was a little dicey (for me at least), and I almost chickened out. However after watching a couple of other explorers navigate the terrain, I followed their lead, climbing up and over a big boulder.
I had arrived over an hour early, so I picked a composition, set up my tripod, and waited. I snapped several exposures as the sun was setting, but just wasn't feeling it. The lighting was just OK, plus my composition was not the best. After sunset the sky began to illuminate with color. Abandoning my original composition, I quickly shifted positions and set up an alternate composition, including leading lines in the foreground and also the beautiful clouds. One of the best sunsets I've ever seen.

Our weather forecast for tonight was cloudy and an auroral forecast for a storm.
Obviously, the clouds did not materialize. While there is an aurora tonight, it is not a storm as predicted.
I guess weather prediction on both the sun and the earth is difficult.
The weather forecast looked promising so made a visit to Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset today with my Flickr friend Jake to capture the sunset.
The weather conditions were better than our previous visit to this spot last year but sadly the sea was a bit rough due to the westerly wind so did not see much light reflected on the water as we had hoped!

Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
Another mediocre day in southwestern Ontario.
Tomorrow promises to be much better...mostly sunny & near 70!
Still we are way way below historical average temps & way above precipitation values...very soggy putting the farmers back at least a month from getting onto their fields.
There is plenty of standing water.
Warnings have been issued about getting too close to local waterways.
Weather forecasters promises afternoon sun to southernmost Finland. Apparently that means some 50 kilometers away? Challenging to find an area with sunshine AND snow...
A wander along the beach this morning, enjoying this spell of warm weather.
A good time to blow the dust off the crystal ball.
Beautiful weather forecast for the weekend. What to do? ….other than it being Mother’s Day and me shutting daughters from/to the city for the weekend, got to get some seeds in the garden too. Busy busy.
The weather forecast
“An east wind blowing a chill whisper from Moscow, cold on my collar.”
It applies a lot in Scotland.

The weather forecast was not good for this re run of the IT57 end of steam rail tour.Arrival at Settle was met with a heavy downfall of rain and gale force winds.I decided to watch the event just outside Horton in Ribblesdale station taking up my position at 12.45 and by 1.30 the field was full of photographers.Difficult at times to stay on your feet the wind was so strong.In fact some photographers/video had come back from Ribbleshead because the wind was like galeforce they said.
BR Britannia class No 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' arrived at 2.06 past the gallery of watchers.I decided becasue of the weather not to stay and watch the later run with 450407 + 45231.Great day though even with the weather.
Just checked the weather forecast and saw that our first snow of the season is forecast for Friday 6 October 2023, with a temperature of -1°C (windchill -5°C). Of course, it could change by then - here's hoping! Our first snow in fall/winter 2022 was on 22 October.
Four more photos from my long drive SE of Calgary, on 18 September 2023. The pumpkin photo was taken at the Saskatoon Farm on 15 September 2023.
On 18 September 2023, the weather forecast was pretty good, though the mention of wind did concern me a little. However, as time is running out for making long drives, I decided to take the risk. Shortly after leaving home and just out of the city limits, I could see smoke haze hiding the distant hills. I was so tempted to turn around and return home, but instead chose to continue.
Most of my driving was on the main roads, in order to get to my destination as quickljy as possible. The total drive of 473 km took me eight and a half hours, between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm. Much as I would have loved to check out a few back roads, I knew I absolutely had to get home before the light started fading. The wind was strong and stirred up all the dust from the roads and fields and made it a real challenge to take photos. All my images were taken from inside my car and, even then, the rocking motion made things more difficult.
The small ghost town, that I was so keen to revisit yet again, had to be seen from my car, because it was too windy to walk, which was a shame. Fortunately, I have photos taken from a couple of previous visits. If I remember correctly, this was my third visit - the others were in July 2020 and August 2022.
Once I reached the ghost town, I was the only person there, as usual. It is only a small place with a handful of old buildings, but very nicely kept. One of its main buildings is a beautiful country United Church, kept in great condition both inside and out. I had read online beforehand that people can go inside the church and sign their Guest Book, otherwise I probably would not have gone in. Really like the door knobs to the front door. The link below gives a very interesting, detailed history, including an old photo of the church in 1980, before restoration. I would love to have seen it back then.
www.facebook.com/LethbridgeHistoricalSociety/posts/retlaw...
As well as the old ghost town, I also wanted to check on a favourite abandoned house - simple, old and leaning. It was a relief to find that it was still standing.
From there, I took more or less the same route home, Too late in the season for wildflowers. Very few birds to be seen, too, though I did see four hawks that were too far to photograph. Fortunately, I still had a little gas left in the gas tank by the time I reached home. Always a concern when I do a long drive.
Despite the strong wind and the smoke haze, it was a good day. SInce then, we have had a tiny bit of rain, and I noticed that the golden leaves are already falling.
I had to take my motorhome in for a few small issues so it was a good time to take off for a few days. We went to Prescott early Tues and stayed there one night and then went to Sedona. I absolutely LOVED Sedona!! What a gorgeous place. We almost froze to death and the wind was so strong in Prescott, we were almost blown off our feet photographing Prescott Dell. Of course neither of us had checked the weather forecast or taken appropriate clothing. I'm sure it was warmer in Canada!!!! If there's any cold crappy weather out there, it seems to keep finding me.
This may appear warm because of the light but believe me it wasn't!! Yesterday we really wanted to go up in a helicopter to shoot Sedona but it was so cloudy in the afternoon that it wasn't worth the money. We wouldn't have been able to get any good shots in the crappy light.
I'm sure if Mike posts something similar, it will have a a better sky than the original that I went with. He loves to grab a sky from his folder of sky shots so he always has a great sky.
A week ago, on 17 September 2017, after noticing snowflake icons in the weather forecast for Calgary this week, I decided I would do a drive east and north-east of the city. In 2016, I had done a similar drive with my daughter, but this time I did not go as far as Drumheller. Actually, I still drove quite a bit further than I had intended - 346 km, 215 miles. If I had had enough self-discipline, I would have left home much earlier, as it was 11:20 am when I finally got into my car.
My intention was to drive a few back roads, searching for old barns. Most of my drive was on highways, simply for the purpose of saving time, so it wasn't till I was more or less at the furthest point that I actually saw a barn.
I think my first stop was at Sharples - I couldn't see a sign pointing to this old grain elevator, so it took me a while to find the hilly, gravel road leading to it. By this time, unfortunately, there was a haze over the landscape and the light was far from good. Having driven so far, I was determined to take photos. As with any beautiful old elevator or barn, it will be a sad day when this one finally collapses. It certainly does not look in good condition, with its outer layer (fire retardant?) peeling badly.
"The Elevator is marked P&H. This company, Parrish & Heimbecker, was one of the smaller players in the Canadian grain industry with a fewer number of elevators seen when compared to the big boys like UGG (United Grain Growers), Pioneer and the Alberta Wheat Pool (“The Pool”). Interestingly, each elevator company used specific colours on their structures making identifying them a fairly easy task. P&H mostly used either silver like what’s seen here, or a light yellow-ish colour – most other companies stuck to one colour.
The elevator here was built just after the rail line was opened (early 1920s) and the large annex attached was added some twenty years later. An annex like this was a quick and easy way to increase capacity and a large elevator allowed for more efficient loading of rail cars. While solid looking, the building is succumbing to the elements. The siding in particular is starting to peeling away.
There used to be a second elevator here, an AWP, Alberta Wheat Pool built late 1920s, that was torn down in the 1980s." From the link below that leads to an excellent site by Chris and Connie "bigdoer".

While I was standing there, taking photos of the grain elevator and the old barn that isn't seen in this photo, a farmer came down to the gravel road on his tractor and stopped to have a pleasant chat. I guess I could have asked for permission to walk closer to the barn, but it is not on his property. Anyway, I never go close to barns or go inside, as I never ask for permission. That doesn't stop a lot of photographers, but I can't do it.
I told this pleasant man that I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere, and he said that we WERE in the middle of nowhere, ha. I was planning to go back the same way I had come, but he told me that there was an old house the other way, that people photograph. That changed my mind, though I knew I would continue to feel in the middle of nowhere. Definitely worth it, as I also came across a site of old, abandoned miners' cabins before reaching the old house. When coal was no longer mined, the area was left and the railway lines were torn up at a later date.
One other abandoned house I passed was one that my daughter and I had found last year. It was built among the rolling hills, far, far away from any road, and is a very impressive sight. This year, they were doing road work repair by a bridge just a matter of feet away from the only possible place to pull over and stop. Thankfully, I was still able to stop and take photos.
The last place I stopped on the way home was to take a few shots of this row of five old granaries. They are quite popular with photographers. Thought I'd add a black and white version, for a change.
Altogether, a good few hours out. Though I didn't see a lot, the things I did see were most welcome and appreciated. I was glad to get in one more long drive before 'the white stuff' arrives and keeps me close to home. It has already fallen to the west of us.
The weather forecast was catastrophic but the morning sun convinced me I could try my luck. Before the first raindrops fell on dry wetlands soil I was rewarded by this old acquaintance (Swamp Harrier) flying low towards me.
At first, the weather forecast for the OFT-2 Starliner launch was at a 40% probability of favorable conditions. Even when it improved to 50%, it still seemed most likely that at the scheduled launch time of 2:53 pm on Friday, storms would be in the area.
What would end up scrubbing the launch was much less predictable than Florida summer weather. As we were waiting at the gate to LC-41, the MLM that had just docked at the International Space Station fired its thrusters. This was entirely unplanned, and the Space Station began to pitch about .5 degrees per second. To counteract the thrust from the MLM, station controllers fired engines on the Service Module and later the Progress spacecraft. Mission Control would describe this as a "tug-of-war" as they attempted to maintain attitude control. Eventually, the MLM ran out of fuel, and the engines shut down, and ultimately, attitude control was restored.
There's lots of good reporting on today's events, so I won't go into greater detail, but I'll say here that the men and women of the ISS program are badasses for how they handled themselves today.
It was odd following along while sitting a few hundred feet from the Starliner, what was supposed to be the next scheduled spacecraft to dock with the Space Station. Ultimately, it was decided not to send another spacecraft to station until the team knows more about what happened today, so tomorrow's launch was scrubbed.
The next option for launch is August 3 at 1:20 pm.

The weather forecast is for strong southerly winds and snow down to 100m. I was working outside earlier and we had sleet and some snow flurries down to about 10m above sea level. On my way home I called by the beach to see another storm over Banks Peninsula.
Weather forecasters predicted waves of 4 metres height crashing into the west coast of Ireland this weekend, in the end they weren't as big as predicted. They thought they would be so big because they were generated by a storm off Iceland and had such a long distance over sea to build up.
The weather forecast was promising, so it was up early to see what i could get and i was not disappointed. Lovely morning.
Weather forecast last Saturday not promising, but perhaps a bit of sun early. Another 2.30 am start and for once the weather worked out better than expected.Looking at the forecast for this week-end (the longest day), I don't think I'll get another shot this year closer to the solstice.
Sunrise from Hillcrest, Thorpe. Slopes of Thorpe Cloud (NT) on left, and Hamston Hill to right
The view from Meteora rocks is just stunning, i could see those clouds over Trikala plains and i knew where exactly it was raining!
The weather forecast said sun with some clouds, well we got clouds with two minutes of sun. But still made the best of it. We spotted this Bald Eagle on an old tree as we crossed a bridge. The gray clouds didn't help any, but I was happy with the outcome. A bit noisy to my liking, however I so loved the capture I can overlook the noise.
Weather forecast for Toronto: HOT !
Tomorrow : Hot , Hazy, Humid 31 celcius = 87 Fahrenheit
So much for Spring.....Winter was longer than usual...now it seems Spring is shorter than usual.
Global warming?
UPDATE: Tornado warnings for Toronto now ! (Now canceled thank goodness!!)
Sorry if I have yet to comment on all my contact's streams as I have limited my time on the computer.....
My sciatica is not killing me quite as much but it means that I cannot sit for long..which is not good for work OR my Flickr addiction!!
:~)
Have a great week ahead!
With the weather forecast at 22 degrees and 30% chance of showers, I went out after work with my camera. A gig had cancelled on me and I wasn't going to haul my stuff all over town without using it!
Had I scrolled just below the pleasant forecast, I would have seen the severe storm warning. Black clouds appeared and suddenly, downtown Toronto was underwater. It was a wet adventure.
The weather forecasted on this day was obviously 100% accurate, as you can tell by the wonderful sunshine! Soo 6062, 6059, and ICE 6449 are on their knees to keep 9,800 tons of ethanol rolling east.
Fortunately, the weather forecasters got it right today. As predicted, the cloud rolled in from the west as the sun broke the horizon and Bowerman’s Nose is seen here illuminated against the subdued landscape beyond. Although these conditions were sporadic and short-lived, this shot captures one of the most dramatic moments of light. Thanks for looking. Mk
Hard to believe the weather forecast was calling for something other than "sonic clear" while there still may be a colored leaf of 2 clinging on a few trees. I got up early and was quite surprised that for once, they were right. The parkway runs past my city and if it weren't for flame azalea in the spring, I'd consider the south way a total loss until it gets well into NC. The north is very pretty with some 4000 ft mountains and views, but it is a rather difficult place to catch a really good sunrise or set near the road. The problem I've found is the lay of the mountains, much of the year they are running into the sun and it's difficult to get a "perpendicular" view.
This photo was taken at the highest elevation overlook in VA. I find the original architecture of the parkway to be rather incredible, all of the great overlooks and the route it took, and would find it rather difficult to improve upon in that sense. I find today's management to be the other extreme, just a 1/2 step from total negligence and many destructive practices like mowing down the rare flowers, and letting it become "over-run" with various hobbies and lifestyles that have nothing to do with a scenic drive or it's conservation. This is one place where the original designers missed a golden chance to locate a far better overlook for the highpoint. If it were done 1/4 mile south, there is a large sweeping curve that has an incredible vantage point of the rising sun all year, and an awesome view into the piedmont area or "flat lands". The trees growing in that area make it impossible to get a shot. If it were about 1/2 mile north on Thunder Ridge, another long sweeping curve with the best view on VA's section. It is possible to park there and take photos, but the trees make it rather confined, as it is here with the site they chose.
I rode around most of the good spots of this area and have determined that for all long range scenic photography possibilities, fall has ended up here. Very few little clusters of trees still colorful. Soon the "post nuclear" look of winter will be upon us, and I'll be wishing for it's only scenic value to photography...snow! Hoping for lots and lots of 4-6" events that come followed by blue skies with wispy clouds and light breeze, then go away quickly.
Frog spawn in my daughter's pond. A friend, who knows stuff, tells me that when frogs spawn in deeper water like this, instead of close to the edge, it means that there is a lot of dry weather on the way. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
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.
Weather forecast for next week sais we'll get some new snow...
I'm sorry for being quite absent last week...Been so busy. Promiss to catch up on your lovely streams tomorrow! Enjoy your Saturday!X

The weather forecast was ostensibly good for Bishops Itchington in Warwickshire today, so I set off full of optimism. However, after four hours of walking about under dull skies, in a cold breeze, I was ready to give up. During one last patrol of the hill however I noticed something small and silvery - almost on its side - crawling very slowly out of the grass, and finally found what I'd been searching for.
9 October 2019: temperature is -7C (windchill -13C). It snowed again yesterday and more snow is forecast for this coming weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving).
Having seen the weather forecast for another snow storm, I made a quick decision to get back to the mountains - I don't drive there when there is snow on the roads. It was going to be sunny, but unfortunately, it was also very windy, which gave me a lot of not-quite-sharp images. Also, much of the highway through Kananaskis is closed for the winter months, for the protection of the wildlife. There were three or four locations that I wanted to photograph with snow on the peaks. With scenic shots in my mind, I took the south route, this time avoiding the dusty, gravel back road that I love to drive. Normally, I would never do a drive like this on a weekend day - more cars and people.
Much of the drive was similar to my trip with friend, Pam, on 5 September. A little over a month ago already? The first part of my drive, before turning around and heading home, I had done before, but I had never driven myself the most northerly part. I really wanted to make sure I did this while I could, rather than have to leave it till next year, as I might have lost courage by then. Actually, this north stretch had not been in my plans, but as it was not yet noon, I decided to do it, driving further than Pam and I had gone. A couple of extra stops were added - Barrier Lake and Lorette Ponds.
Keeping a close eye on how much gas was left, it was time to turn around and go back home the same way as I had driven earlier in the morning. Lots of animals on the road - mainly cattle! I don't think I have ever seen so many cows on the road before - and, oh, what a mess they were leaving behind them, everywhere! They were as stubborn about moving off the road as the three groups of Bighorn Sheep I came across during the day. I guess cows, too, like licking salt and other minerals off the road surface.
So many people were out to go hiking and there were lots of cars parked in many places. On my return drive, I was not too impressed to see about a dozen cars lined up along the edge of the road - thinking 'hikers' and then suddenly thinking "bear?" As I drove past, I caught a glimpse of three brown shapes in the long grass. I did what I don't like doing - a U-turn and adding myself to the end of the line. My handful of highly zoomed photos were all taken through the windshield, turning them into green-tinted blurs. I have added three of them, just for the record. Not sure if I can rescue any others. I tried to read the blurry number on the pink ear tag, which may have shifted upside down, on her right ear. She was busy feeding in the long grass with her two cubs, totally oblivious of the audience. I didn't notice if many people were out of their cars - I know the female idiot (oops, I mean 'driver') of the car in front of me, got out and walked down the road in the direction of the bears, but I couldn't see where she disappeared to. Eventually, a Park ranger arrived and shooed the beautiful bear family into the trees. Such an unexpected sighting and thrill - definitely the highlight of my 440 km drive. If I am right, I think I had only ever seen two Grizzlies in Alberta in all these years - a female with one cub.
On July 22, 2022, weather forecasters throughout the mid-west were predicting severe, fast-moving storms that would include 60 mph winds, rooftop damage, large, damaging hail, flooding, and downed trees early in the morning July 23, 2022. Sure enough, early in the morning, not far off, thunder could be heard rumbling, skies began to darken, turning an eerie blue-green that we had never seen before. The trees began to quake, and the wind sounded different too. We are used to having to take shelter during these storm warnings, so when the tornado sirens went off, our level of seriousness kicked up a "few notches." I was thinking, "This is the one that is going to take down our 70-foot tree or rip our roof off. The rain went from a torrential downpour to what looked like a wall of water! We had the TV on in another room, so that we could hear the continued warnings. Almost as suddenly as the sirens had blared, the local weather person stated that the tornado warning was canceled for our area. We breathed a big sigh of relief. Thankfully our immediate neighborhood was spared and all that happened in our area was that lots of fallen branches were everywhere. Unfortunately, there were many areas that got hit hard.
Last weekend I was on the NSW south coast with the Flickr Focus - (Australia - Seascape & Landscape Photography) group: Kath, Olga, Danielle, Jason R, Jason B, Tim, Kiall, Trevor, Steve and Sean. We had a great time! Well, I had a great time and the others all seemed to be pretty happy, but that might have something to do with the strange sub-continent beers in the fridge that disappeared by the end of the weekend.
We based ourselves in the Amooran Oceanside Apartments and one of the rooms is large enough to accommodate the 11 of us with our laptops, not that we spent as much time as expected inside.
The weather forecast was for big seas and lots of rain. We drove down on Friday (thanks for the lift, Kath) and filed out to Glasshouse Rocks just down the beach from the apartments for an evening shoot. It was sprinkling, so we weren't quite sure what weather to expect the following morning.
As it turned out, we dodged the rain on the Saturday morning, shooting Camel Rocks with some great sombre skies. After breakfast, we went exploring around Mystery Bay and I found a couple of great locations with Jason R and Tim. In the afternoon, the boys braved the low tide walk around to Horses Head, while the girls - well, where were the girls?
Sunday we were sure was going to be lots of rain and at sunrise, the shoot was called off because it was simply torrential. After breakfast, we went our various ways, taking advantage of the poor weather to explore the coast and mark out future shoot locations. Some of us got as far south as Bermagui before we met up again near Camel Rock for an afternoon shoot.
Despite the grim weather and the grimmer forecast, the afternoon cleared up and we had some absolutely magic light.
After shooting the waves rolling into the river mouth at Wallaga Lake, I wandered around the headland a bit further and bumped into Jason B. He had his camera set up looking over a scene that reminded me of Point Lobos in California and the photographs by Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. I wandered down to see what else I could find and took a few photos. I actually packed up and left four times, only to see one more shot that I simply had to take.
The last shot was the one above and it's taken from where Jason B was standing. He made a tactical error and left before me, so sorry Jason, but everyone knows I get the best photos by looking over someone else's shoulder!
So, thanks to the Flickr group for inviting me. And if you're interested in joining the Flickr Focus - (Australia - Seascape & Landscape Photography) group, sign up to Flickr and search for the Focus group. It's that easy.

With good weather forecast in the capital in mid-June 2021, the opportunity was taken to photo the buses at Marble Arch and along Park Lane. Five of us enjoyed catching up and snapping the comings and goings in a near normal busy London.
The four major open top tour operators were out in force and carrying good loads throughout the day. Big Bus, Golden Tours, TOOT bus (The Original Open Tour) and newcomer Julia Travel (City Sightseeing / Stagecoach) brightened up the scene. A single London Bus example was spotted all alone at Victoria.
TODAY's Weather Forecast in Singapore: 32°C, Current: Mostly Cloudy (but there were clear blue blue skies), Wind: S at 19 km/h, Humidity: 66%...and at 3 o'clock, down at the park, in the midst of shady trees and few mins away from the breeze of the beach.....WE JUST GOT MARRIED!!!! Tadaaah!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
More details to a new blogspot I put up! Hahah
So that explains why I haven't been visiting so much your streams yet as I was pretty happy busy with the little to-dos before this day! Weheheeheheh
And more happy-busy for coming days. But of course, we're finally off to that island escapade! Woooopeeeyyyyy!
I will miss Flickerin' but I will be back soon!!!
♥♥♥

Woot! EXPLORED!
Thanks for all your warm wishes everyone!!!
There is a lot of stuff in my stream which is only dedicated to open minded people ;-)
Any question? Feel free to send me a Flickr-Mail!
Are you interested in me as an emotional being ? If not you could at least have a look on my profile . Or maybe you should have a look on my Faves.
This lichen was chosen as Alberta's Provincial Lichen.
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.
