This was the most powerful waterfall I ever visited. Luckily my non-weatherproof Olympus OM-D was tough enough to survive the shower without damage.
High tide and a stormy wind, a perfect combination for photography. But also a bit complicated. It is a battle to keep everything including myself dry. Did I succeed? No, haha! This wave splash came so high, I did find the sea salt in my ears later that evening. I think this says enough. ;-) The Nikon Z6 proved to be weatherproof. ;-)
So here comes a fox calm as you like walking down our garden path like he/she owns the place . I would wager this character is the culprit for attacking our recycle food caddy on a number of occasions - had to buy a weatherproof box to put the caddy in with a brick or two on the lid !!
Seen this evening and a quick couple of shots through the double glazing !!
For those of you that remember , the pot by the fox is where an apple tree is growing from a pip I planted a couple of years back .
A mist shrouded forest in the French alps near Valmorel.
It was raining very heavily so the weatherproofing of the new camera got a proper testing with no problems. Also, I was using my old 70-300vr lens with the Nikon FTZ adapter and the rubber weather seals on both of those worked flawlessly. The deep lens hood on the 70-300 allowed me to keep taking photos without worrying about getting water droplets on the front of the lens.
Lots of lightning but lots of rain falling on the camera as well. Couldn't find a dry spot for love nor money tonight
This Camera was a present gave it to me,
by a completely stranger I went to bought some
filters and I left with the filters plus this waterproof camera.
I did wash it for hours.
That's why I wanted a roof on my car! Bloody summer!
Pro tip: When going in the backyard to take pictures in the rain, you might want to don a raincoat or carry a roof on a stick.
Toy Project Day 3248
The earthquake damaged Bellamy's and Timber Chamber building one of the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings.
The Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings were administered by the Canterbury Province from 1853 until the abolition of provincial government in 1876.
The buildings are the only purpose-built provincial government buildings in New Zealand still in existence.
The structure of the buildings withstood the September 2010 earthquake with only minor damage, although a large stone chimney had to be carefully removed.
However, in February 2011 the complex suffered significant damage, particularly to the stone buildings, with the roof of the Stone Chamber collapsing completely.
Work since the earthquake has focused on stabilizing and weatherproofing, with deconstructed material carefully catalogued and stored.
The buildings are currently closed to the public.
The Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings were designed by architect Benjamin Woolfield Mountfort, and built in timber and stone in the Gothic Revival style.
The buildings are currently closed to the public.
Der Fürstenzug in Dresden ist ein überlebensgroßes Bild eines Reiterzuges, aufgetragen auf rund 23.000 Fliesen aus Meißner Porzellan. Das 102 Meter lange, als größtes Porzellanwandbild der Welt geltende Kunstwerk stellt die Ahnengalerie der zwischen 1127 und 1873 in Sachsen herrschenden 34 Markgrafen, Herzöge, Kurfürsten und Könige aus dem Geschlecht des Fürstenhauses Wettin dar.
The Procession of Princes in Dresden, Germany, is a large mural of a mounted procession of the rulers of Saxony. It was originally painted between 1871 and 1876 to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Wettin Dynasty, Saxony's ruling family. In order to make the work weatherproof, it was replaced with approximately 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907.
As you approach the museum in Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, there is a wonderful walkway constructed of Coade stone which is a type of stoneware developed in 18th century London by Eleanor Coade. Virtually weatherproof, this walkway reflects the paleontology of the area. Ammonites are an extinct group of marine invertebrates that are related to octopuses & squid today.
Detroit Bridge, A5063, Trafford Road swing bridge, Trafford Park, Manchester - 1953. Originally used as a railway bridge crossing the ship canal.
My gear and I got 110% completely drenched as I tried to get a shot of the waterfall. The spray coming from the Seljalandsfoss waterfall which is 60m (approx. 200ft) in height was intense due to the wind and I thank goodness that my Nikon and lens are weatherproof. The wind was swirling and it was almost impossible to get a clean shot because the spray would hit my lens every second. I took almost 50 shots and this was the closest I got to a clean shot.
Wishing you all a happy 2024.
Wet, windy, dim and no customers,
Weather like this is bad for trade.
I waited for some time for someone to walk into the frame - but to no avail. I was getting wet and cold - and the Lumix GX7 isn't weatherproof (I should have brought one of my Olympus cameras).
So I headed back to the car.

A road misfortune that befell two drivers resulted in a ninety-minute halt amid wind-swept fields, as a long line of vehicles waited for the police, paramedics and fire fighters to sort things out so traffic could resume. So it happened that we arrived in the woods much later than planned. The sun was a couple of hours away from setting but the clouds blocked so much light that it felt like an evening. I half-expected we were going to meet a few people looking for late-October, early-November mushrooms following the rain of the previous few days; not a soul was to be seen, however. The swishing tree branches and the inevitable rustle of our weatherproof jackets as we walked were the only sounds I could hear. A couple of deer darted across a clearing, their white rumps bobbing as they ran. Once, towards the actual evening, a wailing bird cry pierced the hush, making the silence that followed all the more profound. The wind gradually subsided and the pall of clouds seemed to have thinned a little, allowing the warm glow of the sun to paint the trees and grasses...
il tempo cancella la materia ma la memoria resiste alle intemperie
time erases the matter but the memory is weatherproof
“Tommy” was the vision of local artist Ray Lonsdale and lovingly produced over a 5 month period. Made for corten steel, “Tommy” will weather over time to produce a weatherproof rust. The 9 1/2 foot statue of a WW1 soldier is sat at rest at the end of the first world war, contemplating the horrors that unfolded during that time. The artist has truly encapsulated the emotion in his stance and on his face at the very moment when the war ended.

Yes it's a moody sky but it was pouring with rain, take a look at the river.
Not quite the composition (or weather) that I had in mind for this shot but it was dictated by a group of people sheltering from the rain under the far arch of the bridge.
I had to hide them behind the foreground tree.
It was another test for the Sony's weatherproofing 😄
Standing on a promontory overlooking the River Teme, Ludlow Castle was was one of the first stone castles to be built in England after the Norman Conquest some time between 1066 and 1085. It was significantly modified and extended over later years.
Now a ruin.
The original building opened in 1934 in a mercantile area east of Glasgow's city centre, built by Maggie McIver, the "Barras Queen .The area and the ballroom are named after the Glasgow Barrowland market. The building was completely rebuilt after being largely destroyed by fire in 1958, and reopened on 24 December 1960. The Barrowland building includes large street-level halls used for the weekend markets, with a large weatherproof hall above. The front of the building is decorated with a large animated neon sign.
In recent years the ballroom has become a concert venue with a capacity of 1,900 standing, known for its acoustics and its sprung dance floor.Simple Minds filmed the video for their 1983 single, "Waterfront", at Barrowlands . Adjacent to the ballroom itself is the Barrowland Park, where there is a path displaying the names of many artists who have played at the venue. Northern Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers have played sold-out concerts at the venue every St Patrick's Day since 1992, and recorded their Best Served Loud album there in 2016 to celebrate 25 years at Barrowland.
In The Belly of a Bear - Calgary artists Caitlind r.c. Brown, Wayne Garrett and Lane Shordee were the masterminds behind the dome with an interior lined in thick, warm fur. The sphere’s dark look comes from slightly torching the surface layer of its wooden exterior, which also weatherproofs it. The installation was one of the most popular with visitors, perhaps put in mind of Leonard DiCaprio's Revenant character, who sleeps inside a horse’s belly for warmth.
I have started late into the stagrut after a 2 weeeks absence. Immediately after the plane has landed, I rushed home, switched clothes and started out to the floodlands of the austrian danube. I got totally soaked after the heavy rainshower. Luckily my equipment is more weatherproof than I am. I was rewared with this snapshot. Any comment from your side highly appreciated.
Prospect Cottage is a house on the coast in Dungeness, Kent. Originally a Victorian fisherman's hut, the house was purchased by director and artist Derek Jarman in 1987, and was his home until his death in 1994.
Jarman bought the house following the death of his father, at a time when he was looking to leave London. Actress and friend Tilda Swinton recalls Jarman buying "gallons of pitch black paint" to redecorate. The cottage facade of tarred boards and bright yellow paintwork were maintained from the previous owners. The timber walls of the cottage are weatherproofed with tar, and one wall is decorated with lines from the John Donne poem "The Sun Rising". Jarman's 1990 film The Garden was filmed at the house.
James K. Polk was president when this house Greek Revival house was built. The Civil War and the World Wars had not yet been fought. The Titanic had not yet been built. A proverbial ocean of history separates this house from the modern era. Yet here it remains, still standing and with the original facade nearly intact. Certainly someone from the 1840s would still recognize the place. Unfortunately respect for history was the last thing on the minds of whoever bought the place recently. They wasted no time at all in stripping away the architectural character of the house. Most insulting of all was the destruction of the front entryway. The woodwork and trim was discarded, the transom window boarded over, and in went a $300 Home Depot door. The effect is a jolting visual aberration apparent even to those with no interest in historic architecture. My eye tends to be drawn to the front door of any home, and so the insensitivity of this particular renovation is even more glaring. I understand the need to modernize old houses, especially in terms of weatherproofing. But often compromises can be made to preserve the historic look without running up a huge bill. I'm a strong proponent of maintaining the original appearance of at least the street view. Especially in a neighborhood full of older homes. The project stalled out somewhere along the way during the pandemic. No activity here in a couple of months, and no evidence of a building permit. This facts may be related. But for now, the damage has been done, and James K. Polk is undoubtedly rolling in his grave.

A radome (a portmanteau of "radar" and "dome") is a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a radar antenna. The radome is constructed of material transparent to radio waves. Radomes protect the antenna from weather and conceal antenna electronic equipment from view. They also protect nearby personnel from being accidentally struck by quickly rotating antennas.

Some unexpected overnight snow, parts of Dublin & the country covered & time to reach for the camera for some snow scenes on the way to work.
Poor DART 8320, it hasn't turned a wheel in many months & may not go back into service at all.

The theme for Crazy Tuesday this week is pillow/cushions, I chose these ones that I see every day as I pull into the driveway. About 8 years old these weatherproof cushions look bright and colorful and comfy on my front balcony. HCT
As the camera is fixed but the sky rotates through the night, I overlay and rotate 4 layers (lighten mode) on the background layer until the stars match up.

Eglwyseg limestone cliffs near Llangollen.
A long loop walk on Saturday morning started with a sketchy drive up steep narrow roads to Trevor Quarry for 7am in the pitch black. We planned on walking along the cliffs to Worlds End and then heading back along the Offas Dyke path below the cliffs(you can see the path in this photo). About 8 miles in total and the hills are pretty gentle once you get up on the cliffs, it was quite windy and the light was a bit meh. But unfortunately we forgot the food, we could make hot coffee with freshly filtered stream water though! We still completed the loop but by the end of it food was much needed!!!
A bit of information about the landscape:
The cliffs run along the hilltop on the north side of the Vale of Llangollen, which is a rift valley – formed when the ground dropped between two parallel faults in the Earth’s crust.
The limestone was formed when this land was under the sea. The skeletons of various small marine animals built up over time and were compressed to form this rock, which is hard and weatherproof – ideal for buildings. Limestone can also be broken down into lime by a simple heating process which was once carried out at kilns close to each source of quarried limestone. Lime was used to fertilise farmland and for mortar, before cement became widespread.
You say "bokeh", I say "water damage". This was shot in rain using our hotel bathmat as a tripod and makeshift camera cover. Bathmats make better tripods than you'd imagine, as it turns out.
Although shot with a weatherproof lens (always worried about the fact Canon commit to nothing numerical by way of definition in this regard), my six year old 300D definitely isn't. Half-covered in the bathmat, half-sheltered by my leaning hooded form, it survived. I'm delighted by it's longevity - probably 100,000+ shutter actuations and lots of knocks along the way.
What it doesn't do so well is noise control, however. This shot was a wretched thing to clean, and this posted version remains a bit ropey even after an hour or so in LR3 and PS7.0 tidying it up. The white balance was a nightmare too, with no result I was ever entirely happy with. I settled on this one, married with a not insignificant desaturation. Otherwise, I used PS to lessen the distortion of the buildings (exacerbated by the lean-inducing bathmat) and LR to bring that church tower back (somewhat) from the shadows of the sky.
Just for pedants - you're right - it's not a gondola. Sadly I couldn't think of a punning film title with "vaporetto" in the title. It is 60 seconds though.

The Puli is a small-medium breed of Hungarian herding dog known for its long, corded coat. The tight curls of the coat appear similar to dreadlocks. A similar-looking, but much larger breed – also Hungarian – is the Komondor. The plural form of Puli is Pulik in Hungarian. Temperament: Faithful, Intelligent, Energetic, Agile, Loyal, Obedient. No other breed can be mistaken for the Puli, a compact but powerful herder covered from head to tail with profuse, naturally occurring cords. Bred to work closely with humans, these agile and faithful little dynamos are quick learners.
First, there are those dreadlocks, the instantly recognizable feature of the Puli (pronounced "Poo-lee", "Pulik" is the plural). The coat's naturally occurring cords are wooly, dense, and weatherproof. Either corded or brushed out, Puli coats require lots of attention. Under the dreads there's a compact but powerful dog, standing 16 to 17 inches at the shoulder. Pulik are remarkably agile and light on their feet, earning a reputation as the “acrobat of the dog world”.
My mom’s younger brother Steven was a heardsman and he always used Puli dogs as his companion and to herd the catle.
Thank you all for the visit, kind remarks and invites, they are very much appreciated! 💝 I may reply to only a few comments due to my restricted time spent at the computer.

Nikon 58/1.4G
Shot this first in the sequence, but for the earlier close up I had to dig a hole in the the snow to get the sun i the right place. Big tribute to Nikon for building a true weatherproof camera since it had to be buried in the snow, back screen and all...
