The weather forecast says there is a chance of rain. We will wait and see. Actually I took this shot last summer, and if I remember correctly, we did get a bit of rain then. But, today's forecast for rain brought only a few sprinkles.
It was more than a little eerie up in Rhosydd. The weather forecast had warned of awful weather but I was desperate to feel the freedom of the mountains, and reset my senses. I knew I had to get up there early to stay ahead of the storm and from some distance off in Blaenau Ffestiniog I could see the clouds blanketing the tops of the mountains. I didn't hang about at Tanygrisiau and lower down in Cwmorthin to wait for some light but pushed on against the mizzle and quickening wind. Up on the cwm, the shoulder between the mountains, I found the ruins of Rhosydd mine constantly being veiled in cloud, thickening one moment, clearing the next, just seconds at a time as the wind blew the cloud across my field of vision. I moved quickly to a few viewpoints grabbing a shot each time the cloud cleared just long enough for a clear picture, but by the time I got to the barracks the wind was really forceful. It came out of no where, at least three times a violent, howling gust that nearly tipped me and my tripod over, and bowled little Darcy in her pink coat in a feint pink blur across one shot. It was so strong I felt uneasy like a force was trying to push me off the mountain, "go: get out!" The dark shapes moving in and out of full vision spooked me and I decided I had had enough and wanted to get down into the valley before something unpleasant happened. But up there on your own, amongst those dark ruins, it's easy to imagine things move. And once they did.
I was up on the higher levels of Dinorwic quarry when a wintry squall came rushing in. I had been caught out earlier, whilst using the old track to gain elevation. The hail came in so fast, and thickly, that with no shelter around I decided to get down on all fours on the track and tuck little Darcy under me. We stayed like that, crouched in the open, until there was a lull in the weather. I decided our best option was to cut back down to one of the terraces below where there were some substantial ruins, some at least with partial roofs. Quickly we headed along to one dark slate building, the wind and hail chasing us all the way. I was just moving down its side and on the verge of turning round the end of it to duck out of the wind when I almost went full tilt into lip-smacking range of a fearsome looking dark bearded and hooded man who loomed up right in front of me. The shock to both of us was instantaneous. The immediate fear on his face made him look terrifying to me, and in my terror I probably looked shockingly terrifying to him too. We both let out a feeble little cry that was thankfully muffled by the wind (although if I'm honest I think his scream was quite a bit louder than mine). But what a shock we both got! And an observer would have laughed their socks off seeing how shit scared we were by each other. But I know in future he was going to be more circumspect in sticking his head round the corner to see what the weather was doing, and I was definitely going to take a wider berth when rounding the side of a ruined building to get shelter.
But he's damned lucky my silent assassin training didn't kick in or he could have been dead in one quick chop. I can be a bit jumpy some times.
Most people will say we did the proper thing on the day Storm Ciara visited the British Isles. The nation had been solemnly warned by weather forecasters on all channels that staying indoors was the only sensible option as winds of almost 100 miles per hour were due to arrive and make a thorough examination of the landscape. It was an unwelcome interruption to our three day visit to North Wales when every moment was precious and full of photographic intent, but we decided that there would be other adventures ahead of us if we put our own personal safety ahead of artistic ambition.
And so we put on a pot of coffee and settled down in front of "Whisky Galore" instead. My brother Dave had spotted the fact that our rented cottage boasted a DVD player and decided to bring the entertainment with him. If you haven't seen this film (and I'm talking about the 1949 version rather than the more recent offering that I cannot vouch for), then I highly recommend it on a dark damp Sunday afternoon, preferably along with a glass of something Scottish and peaty. And I beg you please, without ice or other form of diluting substance.
During the film we all kept an eye on events outside the window of course. Only a couple of miles of flat open land separated our temporary home from the North coast of Wales, and apart from the odd brave motorist and one seagull notably flying backwards, all we could hear was huge amounts of air being moved rapidly from one place to another. Until early in the afternoon it began to ease. When we stepped outside, the first thing we noticed was that the recycling bins had been distributed extravagantly across the road outside the cottage. Passing cars had evidently had to engage in a bit of obstacle dodging during the morning.
It's only about 17 miles from where we were staying to Penmon Lighthouse, but the journey took two hours. There are two bridges onto Anglesey, and the larger one, the Britannia Bridge remained closed, while seemingly all of the traffic in North Wales convened at a single roundabout near Bangor to cross the stately Menai Bridge in single file. As we queued, Dave joked that the tractor in front of us was probably going all the way to Penmon. It seemed less funny when it really did lead us almost all of the way to our destination.
We'd gone to North Wales primarily to shoot in the mountains of Snowdonia, but somehow managed to visit no less than four lighthouses. Penmon, on the leeward side of Anglesey was number two, and we managed to catch it in between some brutal squalls. As Dave headed towards the edge of the water the instruction came through by phone for him to stand still and look heroic while he worked out his own composition.
After a cursory glance I'd ignored the Penmon pictures until today, as I couldn't work out how to edit them satisfactorily, and other images from the trip seemed easier to work on. But it's a bank holiday weekend and the blazing sun that we were promised today failed to materialise so I decided to persevere until I got something I felt reasonably content with. At this rate I might even manage to produce a shot from Llandwyn Island on the first evening when the mountains of Snowdonia disappeared into the distant cloud. No promises though!
The weather forecast for this day was not good, and the rain steadily increased by the time 2102 with the JTOS departed for Port Clinton. The grade is Nesquehoning, PA is a challenge on a normal day, but wet rails and leaves only complicated things for the engineer. It was a borderline religious experience standing and listening to them work the grade. The sharp barks of 2102, along with the beautiful whistle, echoed off the mountains as the crew did their best to prevent wheel slip with a heavy train and no diesel. Just before their arrival, I opted to switch into my 24-70 mm lens to capture the full scene, and the plume did not disappoint, as they roared through this classic scene in coal country. This is one of the times from my photography career I have just been glad to have witnessed the occasion, and the photograph was the secondary prize.
The weather forecast called for rain all day long, again.... Mother Nature had other plans and blessed us with about 3 hours of sunlight, mid-morning.
The weather forecast appears to have been correct as the rain doesn't look too far away!!

Due to the weather forecast being heavy cloud for sunset tonight I decided to get up at 4-30am and shoot the sunrise at Petersfield Lake, Hampshire.
When I arrived around 5am the light was just starting to breakthrough and I was able to capture these beautiful serene colours reflecting on the still waters of the lake.
I decided on the long exposure to remove the ducks that were wide awake and milling around at this unearthly hour of the day and this image was taken well before sunrise at 5-53am!

Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
A dusting of snow over snowdonia mountains end of October 2018.And if you look just below the summit of snowdon there is a diesel there.
The weather forecast for this morning was for strong winds and showers, which is exactly what I got when taking this shot at Manesty Park. It actually worked in my favour as the rain and rapidly moving leaves made for a nicely diffused background in this scene.
At that day, weather forecast was as wrong as could be. They told us that above 2000 m we should have clear sky above a sea of clouds and best distant view. The truth in reality was a thick high fog starting at around 2000 m altitude or even higher :-)
The humid air came in from south ovest, so I went to the western dolomites on my way back home. Val de Mesdi at Kolfuschg is a wonderful place that I love and the humid air was beginning to wrap the higher mountians, anyhow there was some fascinating blue shine over the little vallley. I took several single shots for some panoramas, each of them has its own charm in my view given the different angles of view.
This is the narrowest version with concentrated view to the Val de Mesdi. 2 shots from the tripod were taken with the 210 mm lens (which would be 136 mm for 24x36) and merged in photoshop.
I went for an earlier than usual walk this morning and ut was quite misty but thankfully nice and warm!

The day had started with quite a lot of cloud cover - I couldn't help thinking that perhaps we'd contributed to it... Rebuilt Bulleid Pacific 34027 "Taw Valley" pollutes the Worcestershire air as it rounds Safari Curve on the Severn Valley Railway during a Matt Fielding photo charter
Shot taken looking out to sea from the harbour wall at Watchet, Somerset - where a line from Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner (the poet lived nearby) is written on the wall. The full line reads 'The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew'
For the first time in over 50 days i went to the airport again, because the weatherprediction was quite good. Turned out that for once the weather forecast was right. I was treated on some very nice shows by the planes.
looking at weather forecast it may well be a run of archive digs for a few days, being exhausted at work doesn't get your creative juices going either, so there you have it.
I don't like baby photos ... a lot ... come to think of it I don't think I like babies in general, so I wouldn't subject you to a baby photo without a good reason , and the reason is that I do love this photo and I (without false modesty) claim that this is more than a baby shot , this is indeed a portrait! ,
the dude is genuinely taken by what he sees, I can't remember what that was ..
The year is 1985.
what did we listened to in 1985?

Weather forecasters are making a meal out of the bit of snow. It is winter what the heck do they expect?
Home Stafford UK 8th December 2017
On a fabulous spring day like today, Torontonians come out of the woodwork to bask in the sunshine. They are even more eager to bask today since the weather forecast predicts snow flurries for tomorrow.
With a bad weather forecast for Saturday a while back and some other plans we went out for a hike on Friday.
We both had the whole week off and did enjoy the days off with some nice days and also a few days with some rain and lower temperatures
Decided to visit the Boswachterij Gees nature reserve while the weather would still be nice. Followed some of the available trails did enjoy the time spend there.
Took as we basically always do one of our Canon Eos 3 cameras with us. Decided to load it with some Ilford XP2 Super 400 for a change
Developing was done with our Cinestill Cs41 kit at 39c and 4 minutes after some struggles with the spool. Did have some issues loading the film. So I ended up with a film with some scratches and spots, but still do like the results
This was the ninth film with the new batch of developer mixed on September 9 2020
Curious if we can reach over 25 films again and 10 months with this new batch.
The previous developer batch was used to develop 28 films (135-36 format) over an period of 10 months without any problems.
The Cinestill CS41 does stay in good working condition if kept cool, dark and oxygen free.
The weather forecast for 5/5/15 in Staffordshire, Middle England.....
A day of sunshine, showers and extremely strong winds. A very blustery day indeed. I've seen deer in this field in the past, they're usually further up the hill near the copse, just to the left. No deer today though :( but at least the sun shone through at last :))
If you look carefully, you can see 5 Oak trees fading into the distance!
Happy 5/5/15 everyone!

The weather forecast had been merely for "overcast" conditions, but when I got up on Saturday morning preparing for a fun day out with Blanca to visit Bandon and play with my new camera, it was not only foggy but raining and absolutely dismal!! Still, I did not let that stop me!
Bandon is an artsy, touristy little town on the Oregon coast with some spectacular rock formations on the beach. The rain kept most people off the beach and we actually had a great morning walk. Then I did some shopping and in the afternoon returned back through Bandon. This time, the cloud cover broke for just some moments here and there, so we got some great light on our second beach walk. I'm already impressed with the D750 though I'm still struggling to learn where everything is.
Greetings everyone, I hope your Tuesday is off to a fantastic start! Sharing a snapshot from my recent adventure in Indiana. Despite the initial weather forecasts, the morning turned out to be quite eventful, and this vintage towing truck added a touch of charm to the scene. Wishing you all a wonderful day ahead!
The weather forecast called for no snow (no White Christmas). Yet I woke to this. What's even more interesting (intriguing) is that the sun rose as a "Cross". Whether this was caused by the atmospheric optics of falling snow, lens flare, or something else, it seemed fitting for this day. Three minute later, this phenomena was gone! www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/51774069607

The ferry Hamnavoe decided because of the weather forecast that it would not be possible to operate the scheduled 16.00 sailing from Stromness to Scrabster, so her captain decided (the same as Pentland Ferries on the other side of the Pentland Firth) to depart early to get out through Hoy Sound because it was going to be Wind against the Tide and what you see is the Sea Conditions in Hoy Sound as she heads over to Scrabster.
The return journey went from Scrabster along the North Coast of Caithness/Scotland towards Stroma (almost Gills Bay where the Pentalina ferry goes to) before then crossing over towards Orkney and Scapaflow coming back through Hoxa Sound and on up to Stromness.
There will be NO crossings from either of the 2 ferry companies on Saturday, 16.11.24, because of the sea conditions. The next expected sailings will be on Sunday afternoon, 17.11.24, weather permitting.
Weather forecast cloud at the time the super blue blood moon was due to set, and I couldn't face getting up at that time anyway - so I made a few shots of its rise instead.
Looking at the weather forecast decided on a trip to Hatch Hill this morning before getting to work on the ark this afternoon. It was warm but cloudy which meant there was lots of butterfly activity but they weren't completely supercharged.
I must have seen 8 to 10 mating pairs of Chalkhill Blues and it seems there season is in full swing. I was lucky to catch some of the pairs really well isolated making life easier when taking the shots.
the weather forecast is fantastic for the next days, so i decided to travel a bit through the rhoen mountains to enjoy the weather and the nature.
i am sorry that i wasn't able to catch up all recent postings of my friends and contacts after my return from switzerland. there is always too less time and sometimes i really have set priorities for some private things... i hope you understand. but i will do my best to catch up soon - promised.
see you soon. i won't stay long.
Up at 5am the other morning to venture out with friend and fellow flickr photographer Paul Hollins to South Newcastle Beach for a low tide sunrise.
We knew in advance from the weather forecast and radar that there would be little cloud, but we saw that as a challenge to create an image that didn't rely on a stunning sky or clouds!!
So where better than the Southern end of Newcastle Beach as there are awesome rippled rocks generally covered with moss - make them the stand-out feature!!
I decided to shoot this low and in portrait format to emphasize the crevices and patterns - the harsh sunrise light helps create nice shadows and further enhances the look I was after - hope you agree!!!
Have an awesome day and week, hope your weekend is even better!!!
Sincere thanks for any comments, views or favorites for this or any of my other images!!!

After reading the weather forecast, I knew that in the crater lake that night was clear sky. On the way, the sky was getting thicker and thicker. I was very depressed. At the shooting point, a beam of light appeared on the horizon. Seeing this dramatic sunset, it took seven hours to drive and everything was worth it.
Dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.

The weather forecast on the Japanese television on 2019-10-12.
""Typhoon Hagibis developed from a tropical disturbance located a couple hundred miles north of the Marshall Islands on October 2, 2019. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a red tropical cyclone formation alert - noting that the disturbance could undergo rapid intensification upon being identified as a tropical depression.
On the next day, October 3, both the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression 20W.
The depression stayed at the same intensity as it travelled west toward the Mariana Islands on October 4, but on October 5, 20W began undergoing rapid intensification and early that day, the system was issued with the name "Hagibis" by the JMA, which means speed in Filipino.
Sea surface temperatures and wind shear became extremely favourable for tropical cyclogenesis and Hagibis started extremely rapid intensification on October 6, and became a Category 5 super typhoon in under 12 hours - the second of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season.
Edging closer to the uninhabited areas of the Mariana Islands, Hagibis displayed excellent convection as well as a well defined circulation. The system developed a pinhole eye and made landfall on the Northern Mariana Islands, at peak intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (120 mph) and a central pressure of 915 hPa (27.02 inHg).
Land interaction did not affect Hagibis too much, but as the system continued to mature, it underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, which is usual for all tropical cyclones of a similar intensity.
The inner eyewall was robbed of its needed moisture and Hagibis began to weaken, but it formed a large and cloud-filled eye, which then became clear and it reached its second peak. Travelling toward Japan, Hagibis encountered high vertical wind shear and its inner eyewall began to degrade, and the outer eyewalls rapidly eroded as its center began to be exposed.
On October 12, Hagibis made landfall on Japan at 19:00 p.m JST (10:00 UTC) on the Izu Peninsula near Shizuoka. Then, an hour later at 20:00 p.m. JST, (11:00 UTC), Hagibis made its second landfall on Japan in the Greater Tokyo Area. Wind shear was now at 60 knots (69 mph; 111 km/h), and Hagibis' structure became torn apart as it sped at 34 knots (39 mph; 63 km/h) north-northeast toward more hostile conditions.
On October 13, Hagibis became an extratropical low and the JMA and JTWC issued their final advisories on the system. Hagibis caused catastrophic destruction across much of eastern Japan. A large tornado, which struck the Ichihara area of Chiba Prefecture during the onset of Hagibis, along with a 5.7 magnitude earthquake off the coast, has caused additional damage to these affected areas.""

A beautiful aurora night in a fjord north of Alta (drove there extra from Skaidi, as the weather forecast in the west was much more promising) during full moon (hence, the blue sky). It was an awesome, "two-step" display - the first display was pretty decent and actually almost tricked us into leaving by going very quiet in the end. Roughly 45 min later (not really wanting to "call it a night") a more impressive show embarked over us! The surroundings were near perfect: a couple of clouds to spice up the sky, full moon and a blue shimmer, water and snow-covered mountains due north! It was a tad too windy for my taste (no wind = reflection in water), but, meh, it is never perfect and this was already damned close and one of the best aurora nights I had during all my trips up north.
Beautiful, impressive and awesome! (had a tear in my eye, but keep it a secret!)

When I was young, it was common to see barometers or barographs in people’s houses. They helped people forecast the weather, by measuring changes in atmospheric pressure – before the advent of regular TV weather shows, radar and computerised weather models.
This photo shows the ink bottle of my barograph. The ink is for the pen that draws the pressure line on the graph-paper, as a wind-up clock spins the graph-paper. You can see the silhouette of the pen in the back ground – and lines moving up, indicating higher pressure.
Today, it’s very unusual to see barographs in houses around here.

The weather forecast has promised sunny intervals and rainy showers.Normally at this time of year that is code for a very good sky.It didn't materialise but you have to make the best of what nature gives you.

The weather forecast stated a 0% probability of rain, but this was our first shot of the day and we all got a fair soaking in the process!
Most southbound services ran late too, the 1V91 05.33 Holyhead to Cardiff Central was 45 minutes to the bad.
30th May 2019:
The weather forecast told us that it would be much better and brighter this afternoon, so I waited and waited ..... without the sun coming out.
Time was running out and the other photos I had as backup looked dreadful, so I waited a bit more. Finally our Blackbird came into the garden and I grabbed a shot through the patio window.
Hope it cheers up again soon, this dull weather isn't doing me any good. :0(
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
With the shadows lengthening by the minute, 66725 Sunderland and 66719 Metroland take the Soham line at Ely Dock Jn., working the last leg of the Norfolk railhead treatment train, 3S01 08.51 Stowmarket DGL - Stowmarket DGL via Diss, Cromer, Norwich, Acle, Great Yarmouth, Reedham, Theford, Ely, and Bury St. Edmunds.
I'd been working in Ely and, with the weather forecast being for cloudless skies all day, had taken my camera with me - probably for the last time until next March. I'd originally planned to go to Manea for some more close-up pictures of the semaphores (including one looking towards Ely, which I'd so far failed to get in sun), but to do those shots requires the pole to be extended close to its full height - and I thought it slightly too windy.
So I came here instead, arriving just in time for 4L13 (ex-Hams Hall) - which I thought was going to stop to allow 4E20 (to Masborough) to come across the single line from Soham, but I realised too late that it was running straight through (as booked) and wasn't ready... but it had no containers at the front, and the copious loco exhaust "blew down", and would have spoiled the shot. But 4L38 (ex-East Midlands Gateway) was running very late and wasn't far behind; it had DB red 66086 on the front and plenty of containers, and made a much better picture.
DCR's 56103 was at March on a VSTP Chaddesden - Brandon working (empty boxes for Saturday's sand to Ravenhead), having been put in there at lunchtime because Freightliner had earlier run a train to Brandon and it was still unloading; it wasn't late, but the schedules clashed - badly! The empties from Brandon set off on time, not long after I arrived here, and once they'd cleared Ely West Curve the DCR train was allowed to continue on its way - four and a quarter hours late! I rushed round to a spot I'd never used on Ely West Curve, arriving there just in time to set up (it was sheltered, so I could use the pole), but only when I got there did I realise the sun was straight down the track (the shot I'd seen had been taken in June, when the sun was much further round at this time of day).
I then rushed back here for the RHTT, but needn't have worried too much as it is booked to be overtaken by an Ipswich-bound "FLIRT", and it did indeed stand time. But the shadows were getting longer as I waited, and I wasn't sure the back of the train would be shadow-free (it pretty much was - I've not removed any shadows from this image). But I had to use a 75mm equivalent lens in order to shoot past the shadow of the bridge.

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.
