Hurricane Matthew is forecast to pass close to south Florida (where we are) by early next week. When this happens, the weather disturbance will be seen in the very same area where I took these time lapse shots (facing east/southeast). While we will take all the necessary precautions, I am also preparing my weatherproof cameras for what is sure to be one heck of a photo op!
"Matthew" has now been upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane, as of 5:00 p.m., 09.30.2016

The Fürstenzug (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. With a length of 102 metres (335 ft), it is known as the largest porcelain artwork in the world. (wikipedia)

The Herald was designed by Giovanni Michelotti and engineered by chief engineer Harry Webster. and originally launched at the Royal Albert Hall in 1959. Powered by a 948cc S4 OHV engine of the earlier Standard Pennant.
The range was updated in 1961 following an influx of funds after Standard-Triumphs take over by British Leyland. The model was relaunched in 1961 as the Triumph Herald 1200, powered by an 1147cc S4 OHV engine The new model featured white rubber bumpers, a wooden laminate dashboard and improved seating. Quality control was also tightened up. Twin carburettors were no longer fitted to any of the range as standard although they remained an option, the standard being a single down-draught Solex carburettor. Claimed maximum power of the Herald 1200 was 39 bhp against the 34.5bhp of the older model. Disc brakes also became an option from 1962. Sales of the Saloon increased, The convertible was popular as a 4-seater with decent weatherproofing and the estate made a practical alternative to the Morris Minor Traveller. The coupé was dropped from the range in late 1964 as it was by then in direct competition with the Triumph Spitfire.
Despite the introduction of the Herald 13/60 the 1200 Saloon remained in production until Spring 1970.

This stunning sculpture by local artist Stephen Carvill is a recent addition to the North Pier on Bridlington's Harbour.
A gansey (or guernsey) is a hardwearing, hand knitted, woollen jumper which has been worn by fishermen around the coast of Britain for many years.
A tough weatherproof garment, usually navy blue, its purpose was more than just to keep the fishermen warm and dry.
Each gansey has a unique pattern which varied from village to village and from family to family. If there was a shipwreck or accident the bodies washed up on the shore could be identified by their gansey as being from a particular village and family. In this way the fisherman could be returned to their family for burial.
The weatherproof Finnish Lapphund is a tough and substantial reindeer herder from north of the Arctic Circle. This remarkably empathetic breed is among the friendliest of all dogs'once he's satisfied that you aren't a reindeer rustler. Finnish Lapphunds, with their luscious coat, sweet spitz-like face, and profusely coated tail that curves over the back, are instantly recognizable as Nordic dogs.

The Fürstenzug is located on the outer wall of the Stallhof (Stables Courtyard) of Dresden Castle.
In the Spring or Summer, this couch might attract a little more attention as a possible sleeping quarter. Now, not so much. No possibility of cover for protection from the weather. This time of year, you really need something with some walls, so you can lay some weatherproofing, or at the very least blankets, to try and keep SOME heat in.
The weather is changing in Washington's North Cascades, bringing an interplay of light and dark. I hiked to several sub-peaks on this day to record this scene. I used a Nikon D610 with one of my old Nikkor 35-200mm lenses. Fully manual lens, which I often use for hiking though not weatherproof. I really like its rendition and doesn't hurt that it focuses down to about 6 inches.
Top of Utiwai track at Mana. The top and bottom of the track was mint but the middle needs a touch of weatherproofing.
This picture reminded me that the cables at the front are a bit long as we ran out of time building the bike lol.
Living in Canada during winter means getting in touch with the cold. Thanks to Wim Hof (The Iceman) method and training I was able to endure more. I’m now grateful that I am in a cold place! In fact our bodies can handle a lot more than we think. That doesn't reduce the fact that Canadian Winter is tough. In this photo my muse is waiting for the bus, from this post I would like to say big Kudos to all the Canadian bus drivers! Winter road conditions are NOT easy... Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Three ladybirds ('Bishy-Barnabees') looking for somewhere safe and weatherproof.. unfortunately, it's under the lid of our (spit) wheelie bin.
Will move them if they're still there come bin day..

Excerpt from www.thestar.com:
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.
Excerpt from greatwar100reads.wordpress.com:
The cenotaph in Acton stands on Mill St E between Elgin and John, in front of Trinity United Church. It was unveiled on 11 November 1920, notably on the same day as the Unknown Soldier was interred in Westminster Abbey.
The land was donated by the Methodist Church. The Stanstead granite monument was erected by the citizens of Acton, in honoured memory of her soldiers who fought and those who fell. A wreath surrounds a maple leaf (described in the 25 November Free Press as a weatherproof alloy of copper and bronze, from Canadian mines) above the names of 21 local men. Battles are listed on the sides – Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, Amiens, Arras, Bourlon Wood, Cambrai, Douai and Mons on the right side, and Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy, St. Eloi, Sanctuary Wood, Hooge and The Somme on the left.
The stele is 7.5 by 6 feet at the base and 16 feet high. It was made by the McIntosh Granite Company of Toronto. Two side panels were added after WW2.
Nestled on the edge of a small town in rural North Nottinghamshire, Tuxford Windmill is one of the finest examples of a traditional working windmill. It's a Grade II Listed Building. The mill was erected in 1810 an remained in operation until the 1920s when it was damaged in a storm. The 38ft tower corn windmill was built before 1840 and out of use by 1906. At just over 200 years old, the windmill is the only privately owned commercial windmill to fund it’s on going restoration in Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK, which mills grain using traditional stones, using wind-power only. The grains it uses for milling are mostly grown by the Turner family who farm in South Lincolnshire and are members of the British Soil Association. The rest of the milling grains are British grown and are sourced through a grain merchant. You can taste delicious goodies all made from the Mill's flour, at its Tearoom.
It's a 4-storey black tower mill with an ogee cap and four sails. Received an *SPAB Mill Section plaque for the restoration in 1995. The mill is built of red brick, tarred to create a weatherproof black exterior. There are two window openings at ground floor level and two doorways with 20th-century doors. The tower supports a white-painted cap and four sails with a fantail.
*The Mills Section of the SPAB is the UK's national organisation devoted to protecting and promoting traditional windmills and watermills.

I wanted to show the interesting case shape of this vintage Seiko – the snow-turning-to-rain effect over the watch is an added bonus.
It’s a Seiko 6300-8009 from August 1977. I had my watchman make it as water resistant as he could, although I wouldn’t go swimming in it as we kept the original crown in place.
While I love the case shape, which Seiko used on their high end King Seiko line at the time, the crown is a little on the small side for me. It’s not the easiest one to wind.
Nevertheless, she’s a fantastic timekeeper – gaining two seconds in 12 hours on the wrist or when left crown up. No complaints there!

Nathalie and I are leaving for Tokyo on Tuesday... i think this is pretty close to the gear selection that we'll be taking... as opposed to the previous trips, this one will be almost exclusively urban/street photography and a lot of night/low-light photography.. here's the gear selection and some attempt at reason.. would appreciate any opinions...
Cameras
1. Nikon D3: The D3 is basically a point-and-shoot camera that takes near perfect images. It's motto should be "Just press the fucking button." The reality is that this is the only camera I need to bring, but I'm just not interested in "near perfect images". I'll bring the D3 along primarily for low-light shooting. Back alley street scenes at night, wandering around before dawn, stuff like that. I don't think that I'll be lugging around the D3 during the day. Too freaking heavy.
2. Ricoh GR-D: Both Nat and I will be bringing along our Ricoh GR-Ds for daylight street shooting. The GR-D is a funny camera. It sucks compared to almost any point and shoot you can buy, at least in terms of normal metrics. It's noisy as hell... Even at ISO100. However, if you set it to black and white jpeg mode, and shoot it at ISO 400, it's amazing. The images look like Tri-X film.. Absolutely lovely with no post processing needed. Furthermore, the camera is a joy to hold and to use. It's metal. It has a lovely 28/2.4 prime lens. It can be shot fully manual or in aperture-mode. It's a great camera.. Just no good in low light.
3. Ricoh GR-1: This is Nat's primary walk around camera for the daytime. The GR-1 is a lovely point-and-shoot film camera with a razor-sharp 28/2.8 lens.
4. Olympus Stylus Epic DLX: Both Nat and I will be bringing these. I picked them up at a pawn shop the other week for $20 USD each. They're wonderful little point and shoots. They have a sharp 35/2.8 prime lens and are weatherproof. It is also a good one to carry around with cheap ISO 400 color film. And if it's raining, this is the camera to take out shooting. Also... it's a lot of fun at night when shooting in "night-flash" mode with Delta 3200.. Also a good (i.e. cheap) camera to take out when late-night drinking might be involved...
5. Leica M6 TTL with 35/2.0 Summicron-M: For low light street/interior shooting. I really love the photos that I get from this camera. Although this is Nat's camera, it's the one that I'm hoping to do most of my film shooting with.
6. Nikon F3HP: I'll be bringing this for shooting film at night with the 50/1.4 and in case that Nat wants to shoot her Leica.. Will probably be loaded up with Neopan 1600 at night.
7. Yashica-Mat 124G: My one "whimsical" camera for this trip.. I'll take this out when I want to slow down and capture a different scene than I would normally try and take with the 35mm... Will probably have it loaded with Neopan 400 in the daytime and with Provia 400X (pushed to 1600) at night.
Film
Arista Premium 400: Almost certainly rebranded Kodak Tri-X 400. It's an amazing deal from freestyle photo at $1.99/roll. This will be a great film to shoot in the day and can be pulled to ISO 200 or pushed to 800 or to even 1600.
Fuji Superia X-Tra 400: A cheap (but good) color film for use in the olympus stylus epic for daytime shooting. I also like to digitally convert this to black and white with color filtering. Great for control over contrast.
Fujichrome Provia 400X: A really expensive and lovely film for low-light shooting in the Yashica-Mat. I'm going to push this to 1600 and try some night shots with it in well lit places like Kabuki-cho.
Ilford Delta 3200: For night shooting (with flash) in the Olympus Stylus Epics.
Not pictured: A ton of Fuji Neopan 400 and 1600 for night shooting...
No polaroids this year. I thought about bringing the 110A, but I think that it would be too distracting. No Holgas, either.. It would be fun to go with just a Polaroid or a Holga, but with the other cameras, it's just too distracting.
I had to be very careful taking this photo. My camera is not weatherproof, so I had to be careful not to get it too much into the rain :) I'ts also nice to be able to get a reflection somewhere, where usually there is no reflection. This photo was taken in the center of Kosice, this is the State Theater.

My whirlwind tour of the lakes continues with Ennerdale water. Cloudy, moody, and yet peaceful and calm. We met a three legged dog on the beach who liked to bark, and family units enjoying the freedom of a fair weathered Sunday.
Warm enough to wander without being weatherproof, I stumbled through the foliage to find these perfectly positioned stones, leading my eye out towards the horizon.
Adelaide City
Harriett Street close to the Gilles Street corner is one of
the very oldest residential precincts remaining in the
city, with several cottages dating from the 1840s and
1850s.
Mrs Margaret Gibbs lived in this house and conducted a
small private school in the adjacent house from the early
1850s until her death in 1873. This was one of Adelaide's
earliest schools and illustrates the type of private education most accessible to colonial children before the introduction of state schools.
This particular building is a good example of a brick cottage of the 1840s once quite common but now rarely found in south Adelaide. Its form is one typical of early vernacular cottages
with a double fronted plan and gabled roof, but using brick in the English bond. Its original appearance is enhanced by the slate roof cladding and small paned casement windows. The
bull nosed veranda is of later date. Lean-to walling has been clumsily incorporated into the gables, and the condition of the structure is poor, due to salt damp attack. The slate roof
cladding (now unfortunately painted) requires maintenance to weatherproof the structure.
The cottage forms part of a group of early buildings which includes the former Beresford Arms on the corner of Gilles Street.
This year, there is a tourist bus which takes you all the way to Slap Pericnik, in the heart of the Vrata Valley.
I took the bus to the falls, and made the climb up to get close (I had my weatherproof Nikon D750 with me) and took some photos before walking back down to Mojstrana.
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 was waiting for a friend to arrive and found myself with half an hour to spare. My K-1 and lens are weatherproof, but the front element soon becomes victim to spray in conditions like this. It was still reasonably clear for this picture.
…..A throwback to October in Cumbria - it was really heaving it down this day, but no problem when you wear the right clothes! It was handy also having a weatherproof Phone - the ideal companion, just slipped it out of my pocket & ‘clicked’ & straight back in the pocket again! For the interested, this is a walk along the old railway line connecting Penrith to Keswick & beyond, the old tunnel was reopened a couple of years ago as part of the flood damaged repairs - thankfully it was not destroyed when they built the by-pass fly-over.

The story of East Riddlesden Hall has been shaped over the years by the contrasting influences of town and countryside, agriculture and industry, civil war and peace. This intimate 17th century manor house built above the River Aire was once at the heart of the agricultural estate of Riddlesden.
The early site
A manor has existed on this site since the 7th century.
Following the Norman invasion in 1066 and subsequent conquest, ownership of the site is believed to have passed from an Anglo-Saxon family to the Norman de Montalt’s.
1300s
A medieval hall was built in the early 1300s by descendants of the Norman de Montalt family, where the now-ruined Starkie wing stands.
1400s
In 1466 a house was constructed south of the medieval hall by the Paslew family.
Between 1466-1590 the house was extended to double its original size. This range of dates has been established through a test of the ornate plasterwork ceilings which are still in evidence in the Hall today.
1600s
In the 17th century the Hall was transformed into a comfortable manor house by James Murgatroyd, who had made his fortune in the Halifax woollen cloth industry. James bought the manor and 2000 acre estate of Riddlesden from the Rishworth family in 1638 for approximately £6,000, which would be valued at £6,000,000 today.
James was a keen builder and East Riddlesden was intended as a home for his eldest son John.
The property purchased by James looked very different from that which we see today. His alterations to the house were extensive and ostentatious.
The south end was remodelled to create the current two-storey block, and changes were made to the original medieval hall. The Great Hall was built as a temporary weatherproof structure to link the new Murgatroyd block with the original medieval hall during the re-building programme.
Sadly, James died in 1653 before his alterations to the property were completed.
The architecture and external decoration helped to create an impression of the owner’s quirky sense of style which is still revealed to us today.
Post 1600s
History still continued to be written at East Riddlesden Hall after James' death, and for 300 years after, the house was loved by a number of families before being saved from demolition in 1933

The play of light and shadows on a drop of water nestled in a feather has always fascinated me.
This droplet also emphasizes the weatherproof nature of feathers..
A typical vaned feather features a main shaft, called the rachis. Fused to the rachis are a series of branches, or barbs; the barbs themselves are also branched and form the barbules. These barbules have minute hooks called barbicels for cross-attachment. [...] Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures.
Wishing you a wonderful Thursday and thanks so much for dropping by.

The downpour during this February weekend made it challenging to keep the lens dry. So I said screw it, and thanked the Pentax gods for their excellent weatherproofing. Wish I could say the same for my clothing.
The EXIF seems to be lost, which is a little unfortunate. Taken with a Pentax K-5IIs, Sigma 28mm f1.8 EX DG Aspherical Macro.
I found this interesting brick wall while exploring the ghost town of Pony, Montana, last summer.
Ghost towns of the American West are typically similar to Northern California’s Bodie — boarded up wooden buildings, many in decrepit states, with no hope for revival in the future.
Pony is a little different.
Many of the unused structures here, such as the bank and the magnificent two-story brick schoolhouse, are still weatherproof and could be renovated and used again.
The town was actually named for a person, Tecumsah “Pony” Smith, a prospector who found gold in local Willow Creek in 1866, according to the Montana State Historical Society.
Today, the entire downtown of Pony is considered a state historic district.
People flooded to Pony to try to find their fortunes, but the gold in the creek was not as plentiful as hoped.

Next door's cat Shaggy had been sleeping outside on our flat corrugated roof during the autumn. When the bad weather came I felt I had to find something light and weatherproof for her quickly. Last winter she slept under a large plank so she deserves something better than that. This polystyrene box seemed to be an ideal fast fix. She seems delighted with it and only comes out when it's time to eat next door. I have recently improved the roof and will keep an eye on her.
I've got somethin' here, it's a chance / I'm'a make my changes as I go and the city lights dance away stars / I've met all kinds of reasons why the seasons leave their scars / I am thin as cinnamon and tarnished like these metal cars / That drive along the rivers of tar / I am weatherproof as the rain / And I've fooled every lover into drinking up my pain / I am hanging by the edges of my name, but I am warm / So comfortable forgetting 'bout the storm (Adrianne Lenker)

Some things are just so miserable when experienced that it's hard to see the beauty at the time. The freezing rain and high winds on a Sunday afternoon and evening in December resulted in many beautiful scenes -- if you're a camera, or maybe even the weatherproof "Forward" statue on the State Street corner of the Square. For humans, not so much, though the intrepid bicyclist seems to be managing. Me, I just clicked off a quick series from under my umbrella and hoped for the best -- and that not too much rain would blow onto my camera.
