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.
Another dodgy weather forecast but desperate to be out, I decided to do a short (4 miles) walk between Great Rollright and Hook Norton.
Getting off the bus I decided to do a mile detour to a favourite viewpoint and found this group of lovelies in the way straddling the footpath. I gingerly fished my camera out of the rucksack to get a shot and despite giving them a fairly wide berth, one decided to follow me at quite a trot, and had nearly caught up before deciding I wasn't worth the effort. Got to the view but it was disappointingly flat and grey but blue sky on the way. Then I had to cross the field again to resume my walk. Luckily on the return trip they ignored me.
On my home the mist had lifted and it was lovely and warm ~ looking across to beautiful Arran!

Weather
It came down straight and hard this morning! It seems like it's going to be a pretty nice week, but there will be humidity. Thank goodness the air quality is good around here though it is quite uncomfortable with all the humidity.
Well, the weather forecast for Kananaskis for 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/light snow today, then three days of snow with temps down to around -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 that 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 eight or ten 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/Inky 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 : )
It will feel like 82F later today with thunderstorms then plunge into the 40's tomorrow & 30's overnight Saturday night!
The weather forecast was cloudy with scattered showers so rather than climb to a summit in the clouds we opted for a relatively long walk to a remote loch on the western coast of the Isle of Lewis. The walk is down a valley between two ridges of hills that ends at Loch Cheann Chuisil.
This view is looking north with Suaineabhal in the distance left of center. This panorama is a stich of four images. After taking these images it was time to pack the camera as the "scattered showers" would soon be soaking us.
After checking the weather forecast for the next few days, I decided to do a drive N and E of the city the day before yesterday. I knew I would check a few backroads for a Snowy Owl (none were found), but that was not the purpose of my trip, as I have already seen several Snowies this winter, 2020/2021. I wanted to revisit a few old barns that I had seen before and keep my eyes open for any unfamiliar ones, too. The last drive I did out of the city was on 1 February, so almost three weeks ago! Brutally cold, snowy weather, with windchills that dropped to as low as -42C, kept me safely at home. How good it feels to have milder weather now!
One of the locations I wanted to visit again was a ranch with three wonderful, white dairy barns. Two of the barns are very long and quite impressive. The first time I had seen them was in January 2014, when friend, Phil Quinn, took me out for a day drive north of the city. It must have been the worst day of that winter, with blowing snow swirling across some of the roads and a white sky as well as a white ground. Everything was white. The next time I saw them, from a distance, was on 3 November 2020, when I came across them unexpectedly, not realizing just how far I had driven. Unfortunately, almost all of the barns seen yesterday were on roads that had just enough traffic on them to make it really difficult to take photos - there was always at least one car right behind me when I wanted to stop and there was no shoulder to pull over.
On my way home late afternoon, I quickly checked a favourite barn, just in case there was a Great Horned Owl sitting in the window. I had also photographed an owl there in December 2019 - both times an adult. This made a very nice ending to an enjoyable few hours, far away from crowded city parks.
The weather forecast promised blue skies and sunshine all day...........they lied!
So after freezing my nuts off for over an hour I was slowly losing the will to live, when suddenly I could hear 5043 working very hard from a dead stop at Church Fenton two miles away. The noise just got louder and louder as she burst into view and simply roared past scaring the ducks under the bridge in the process.
Incredible!
The weather forecast predicts warmer temperatures for at least the next two weeks...Yeaaaa!!!

It was supposed to be a very sunny day. 2012 will stay as a surprising year for meteorologists, and also for those who rely on their predictions!
I was surprised to see that snow was forecast for Oberon next week, that see if it happens, it could change I hope not.
Weather forecast for next few days is rain, wind, and falling temperatures.
I need to think about a new outfit
The weather forecast was for little wind today, so we took the Smith-Dorrien Highway through Spray Lakes Provincial Park to the Rummel Lake area. The trail to Rummel Lake is very popular, but we opted for the more challenging and less frequented Rummel Ridge. The views were sublime!

The weather forecast (from the captain) the previous evening had predicted overcast skies with continuous drizzle for the 12th May at Olden. The actual day was glorious, from sunrise to sunset. The bus driver on the bus that took us up to Briksdal Glacier actually thanked us for bringing the good weather. He said this was the first sunny and warm day of the year so far! I always prefer nice weather to a nice weather forecast.
Weather forecast was rain rain and again rain. So I went out with boots, but no rain at all. Luckily I had court shoes with me!!!

Weather forecast
Monday: Cloudy with a bit of Rain
Tuesday: Cloudy with a bit of snow!
Photo edited with www.tuxpi.com thanks to FayFL
The weather forecast was for cloudy skies so I was pleasantly surprised to look up and see a very clear sky when I poked my head outside our apartment in the early hours of the morning.
The goal in taking this photograph was to have a "reference" image of the portion of the Milky Way. Of the parts of the Milky Way that I can see, this is the furthest from the "Galactic Core" or "Galactic Centre" (i.e., the brightest part of the Milky Way). It is a relatively feature-rich portion of the Milky Way, and it is a portion that many photographers in the Northern Hemisphere are unable to see.
----------
A selection of the more notable features that are visible in this image ...
- The "Southern Pointers" - Alpha and Beta Centauri (a.k.a. Hadar).
- The Southern Cross.
- The Coalsack Dark Nebula.
- The Jewel Box open star cluster.
- The globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139, Caldwell C80).
- The diffuse nebula "Eta Carinae" (NGC 3372, Caldwell C92)
----------
Some final thoughts ...
The post-processing carried out in Lightroom on this photograph was targeted at ...
- Repression of fine scale high ISO / low light speckle noise.
- Enhancement of the elevated background light levels along the Milky Way. texture / structure / mid-scale signals related to the stars.
- A change to the ambient color of the image.
Some of the more important changes to the default settings ...
- Use of a number of Graduated and Radial filters.
- A reduction in the Temperature and a slight shift in the Tint from green towards magenta.
- An increase in the Exposure and Contrast.
- Application of the maximum level of the Clarity filter.
- Selective reduction in the Red, Purple and Magenta Saturation.
- Default Sharpening.
- A modest amount of Luminance noise reduction.
- The maximum amount of Color noise reduction with zero Detail and 100 Smoothness.
- Use of the Vignetting correction (and zero geometric Distortion) for a typical Zeiss wide-angle lens (in the absence of lens profiles for the Hasselblad "C" lenses).
- Application of the maximum level of the Dehaze filter.
Overall, I'm quite happy with the result, especially when I remind myself that this photograph was taken in the middle of a city that has the elevated ambient light levels that accompany a population of around 400,000.

Despite our incompetent weather forecasters indicating last autumn the 2015-16 UK winter would be Arctic, it's taken until March for York to experience its first covering of snow. The way things are looking now, it'll be gone by mid-afternoon! Three-car Class 185 'Desiro' DMU 185 121 approaches the site of Burton Lane Junction, on the northern edge of the city, whilst forming First Trans Pennine's 10.50 Scarborough-Liverpool Lime Street service. @11.38

The weather forecast was for very high winds in the mountains, and so we settled on exploring Brown-Lowery Provincial Park once again. A lovely walk in the woods and out of the wind!

the weather forecast called for 0.5" of ice followed by rain, but what fell last night was mostly sleet.
now, with 30F temps, it makes for a sloppy, soaking, cold mess of a 6 mile run even if i try to stick to running in tire tracks on the side streets.
i’ve learned the hard way that these conditions are just right for a slip and fall after your feet get a good soaking in icy water, start to go numb and your shoes get sleet packed into the treads.
This one goes back quite awhile. The date in the corner says April 6, 2005. This was shot on a 35mm film camera.
Notice anything odd going on?
No, the picture hasn't been horizontally flipped, just the hemisphere has. This was taken in Australia on my last trip out there.
I'm posting this because 1, I haven't shot anything new in awhile, 2, there's no plans for any shooting coming up, and 3, my girlfriend and I have been talking about how much we're wanting a road trip! And this picture is from a couple week solo road trip.
So, *cheers* to the approaching Summer! Naps on porches, naps in the grass, naps by a river, naps on the top of a trail, and, of course, naps in a car with the windows down and my feet up! Man, bring on the warm sunny weather and exploring road trips :-) :-)
There's a sense of living I only experience/tap into when I'm free to roam, explore, and drive.
But, till the next one, this picture will have to count. Cheers, mate!
(ps- when the next break in the weather forecast calls for clear night skies- you can bet I'll be out there shooting stars!!)
The weather forecast says it will be rainy tomorrow. This must be the last view of this year's cherry blossoms.
With the weather forecast calling for cloudless skies,we made a predawn departure from the Twin Cities for the express purpose of getting this shot. There's a narrow window of decent light this time of year and luck would have to be on our side to get a train.
Contrary to what the weather fairies predicted there wa a pretty good cloud deck in place as we arrived to find a northbound holding out of town for a meet. A good sign for sure, now if the clouds would just thin a little before the southbound got there.
The railfan gods smiled briefly as the train and the best sun we saw all day showed up at the same time. Power could have been a little cleaner, but at least our effort wasn't totally in vain. Next time the fishing gear is coming along.
Believing the weather forecast on the internet more than on the TV I decided to head for Hatfield Moors again, but much earlier.
Sadly 30 miles into my journey I realised that I had messed up again - the camera was still at home! I decided to turn back would mean arriving too late after what I had learnt last week. So I kept going and arrived around 0805.
For the first time I had taken my 'new' Iphone with me so was able to at least get record shots - the first time I had tried the camera on the phone.
I did see at least 8 adders, mainly early on. Many were more in the open than on my visit the previous week, and also not that active. The results were generally very poor. It didn't help that I had little idea as to how to use the camera. This was my best effort from over 100. I also took some videos and they were all awful.
The weather forecast for 10 October 2017 in Gloucestershire was pretty good and the lure of a Stanier Pacific with the possibility of two shots at interesting locations was too much to resist. The 'master-plan' was to grab a shot of it at Kemble in the early afternoon and at Standish Junction in the late afternoon with the return working.
Virtually on-time at Kemble is 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' working Steam Dreams 'The Cathedrals Express' which departed Southend at 09.06 with a destination of Gloucester. It is seen having burst out of the 400 yards long Kemble Tunnel and passing through the station at quite a speed. Of note is the recent addition of a diagonal yellow-stripe on the cab-side (just about visible), these were put on a number of steam engines in the mid-1960s indicating that they were not permitted to work south of Crewe under the 25KV wires, some Coronations received the stripe, but 46233 was not one of them. This marvellous locomotive is due to be taken off main-line duties this winter and is to be repainted into a shade of red and according to comments read in The Railway Magazine it has not yet been decided whether it is to be LMS or BR livery. The engine appears to be less shiny than is the norm for a preserved locomotive and a patina of dirt is adding to the look of these machines towards the end of their service for BR.
I mentioned Kemble Tunnel earlier; it would appear that in 1836 when the line was being surveyed the local squire, Robert Gordon sold some of his land to the railway at a cost of £250 per acre (which sounds like a large amount for over 180-years ago) and insisted on a tunnel being built so that he would not be able to see the railway from his home, 'Kemble House' - the power of money, it was as bad then as it is now!
The second part of the master-plan fell apart as 46233 had some problems with its tender before the return run, meaning a late departure at after 19.00 hours, far too late for a photograph at Standish Junction!
The weather forecasters were right today, mostly cloudy indeed. Left Binghampton in perfect sunlight, felt like the middle of February weather and temp wise by the time I got to Bath. But oh well there are ALCO's to hunt, here B&H tri weekly turn to Painted Post heads south after picking up a long cut of tank cars.
Despite weather forecasts for hot temps and rain, yesterday and today were surprisingly nice days in Shenandoah National Park and both days I had some great Bear sightings!
This photo is from this evening. I took this photo of a 2 year old curiously checking us out, but doing it in a very cautious manner. After s/he sniffed us out, the cute little one ran back into the brambles and out of view.
Had been watching the weather forecast about week ago (due the potential Weather event). In the last couple days, the snow totals they were forecasting kept going up an inch each day.
It was Sunday and I had checked the forecast and they were expecting 6 inches of snow (That kind of snowfall in one weather event is an absolute rarity here). It started flurrying just before 8pm. And accumulated overnight.
This morning it started to pick up in intensity right around 8am. Around 10am I went outside and swept our sidewalk and driveway with a broom. And also cleared off the car.
Sometime around 2pm my wife took the tape measure outside and measured almost 6 inches of snow. We still have several hours left of snowfall before it ends. We could easily end up with 8 or more inches!

The weather forecast segment of CBC's (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) daily Toronto evening news is hosted by weatherman Jay Scotland. Recently he has asked viewers to submit weather-related photos to be posted during the nightly news. If the photo is selected, the photographer's name would be put into a lucky draw for some CBC souvenirs.
During a recent photowalk with flickr friend Will and Ipernity friend John, I took a photo of the foggy High Park. After I got home, I thought perhaps I can try my luck on the competition.
Well, don't ask me why, tonight I had a hunch that my photo might show up, so I set up camera just in case. Well, my sixth sense was right!
There was a brief interruption, and a click, in the middle of the video, as I also wanted to take a photo in case the video doesn't turn out. My camera allows a photo to be taken during the video-recording.
This is the original photo:
The weather forecast was for lots of wind at my usual site, and since I did not want to waste the only decent night close to January's New Moon I decided to set up my gear at the back of the house. It means shooting through coastal humidity and Christchurch's light pollution reflecting on it, but whatever … on such a big and bright object it's half manageable.

Unfortunately I left the white balance setting on Custom Auto rather than Colour Temp., and I struggled a bit getting the colours right ...
Despite a weather forecast with rain and light thunderstorm two days in a row (there was neither...), I had the urge to go out for some more stranger interactions.
Upon seeing her walking by one of my usual spots, I instantly knew I had to ask her for a portrait. Strangely, this seems to happen fewer and fewer - I don't know if I'm getting very picky or it's because of the weather and the way people dress. Don't get me wrong, there are of course a lot of people worth photographing, but this special "pull" occurs very rarely.
Anyway, Maria didn't hesitate when I approached her. I had her walk over to the spot I wanted her in and made some shots. She was very friendly, warm and easy to talk to. Maria used to be a hairdresser but has decided to become an office employee instead.
She didn't have much time, so we shook hands and after thanking her she went on.
Thanks a lot, Maria! I hope you like your picture! I'll be happy to send you a larger copy.

Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated!
Last night the weather forecasters were predicting that our area (the higher ground up where I reside, at least) was going to get 10 centimeters of snow. Yep, you heard me right ... snow! Now, I can't wait to get a nice fresh batch ... two feet or so ... of the white stuff so that I can really give those tracks I bought for the Argo late last winter a good workout. But heck, it's not even mid-October and the leaves have hardly begun to turn color ... so, it's just a tad early and a little hard to get your head around!
Still, I shouldn't have worried. Despite having a myriad of resources available to them, most weather forecasters today seem to excel ... really excel ... at only one thing: telling you what the weather is like right at the moment they are talking to you. So, we didn't get that ten centimeters of snow last night ... didn't even get a single flake as far as I can tell.
Still, on the drive home this afternoon, the flakes really did start to fly! Didn't last long, but a little did collect on the windshields of vehicle parked in driveways. In all my years ... well, not really that many :-) ... I've never seen it snowing down here this early. So, it seemed appropriate to put up an image which would perhaps send shivers down your spine.
Don't know what these guys are doing with that dipnet, but I think they just might be gatheing up some small pieces of that very pure iceberg ice to take home and put in their freezer so that they can take some of it out on cold winter nights and put it in their rum or whiskey. Tonight might be a good time to break it out.
By the way, that tall berg you see there in the background is the same one, albeit shot from a different angle, as the one in my Iceberg In Morning Light shot that I put up here on Flickr earlier : www.flickr.com/photos/33774669@N00/6032213553/in/photostream. So, now I think you can better see why we spent quite a bit of the afternoon in anticipation that it would fall.

The weather forecast suggested #SpaceX would need to "thread the needle" for good weather.
Mission accomplished. At 1:29pm (ET) Thursday, the #CRS22 #Falcon9 launched, sending to the 7,000lbs of supplies to the International Space Station.
It was a hazy but pretty launch, at least for the few seconds before it flew into the clouds.

Tonight our local weather forecasters were warning that there could be severe storms, including large, golf-ball sized hail, high winds, down-pours, and lightning. We did not get a drop of rain in our southwest suburb, but the clouds at sunset were massive. I was unloading groceries from the car when I saw the "light show" from a high, slow moving cloud, so decided to try to capture the colors. This series is the result. My settings were the same for every shot, so I cannot account for the differences in color; no enhancement. I shot handheld on manual, continuous shooting mode, standing in the middle of my front lawn using distant lights in the neighborhood to key off of for focus.
