Getting back to basics with my favourite subject - coastal landscapes. Give me a stretch of natural coast to wander about , with a camera, and I'm a happy man. Well, an accurate weather app could maybe make me a wee bit happier perhaps. Especially when you get up at 430am, make the trek over to the coast & find out someone forgot to tell the sun it was supposed to rise.
I do have an obsession with weather apps; Weather, Willy Weather, Accuweather, Alpenglow & Clear Outside are my current faves, especially Clear Outside for forecast cloud coverage at various heights. I haven't tried examining the spleen of a pig yet, which apparently is the most accurate way of forecasting weather 🐷 ⛈ Does anyone know any good spleenless weather Apps can I add to my collection of Apps to reliably get the weather forecasts wrong ? 😂
Weather forecast for the hour:
Accuweather = Scattered thunderstorms, Chance of precipitation 70%...
National Weather Service = Scattered thunderstorms, Chance of precipitation 40%...

A couple of hours later on that day of July 26, 2019, at Furnace Creek, the temperature reached 46°5 c - 115.7° f (according to our car while we were there) and 47°c - 116,6°f according to www.accuweather.com/. It went worst in the following days, reaching 52°c - 125.6°f on July 29. Still a few degrees from the all time World record, right there : "Furnace Creek holds the record for the highest reliably recorded air temperature on Earth at 134 °F (56.7 °C) on July 10, 1913" (Wkpd)

There are not many occasions where you'll find your heart pumping faster than when standing on an open beach in a fierce lightning storm but at midnight last night, I sprinted from my car to set up the tripod between heavy squalls at Perch Rock Lighthouse.
I used a weather radar app (AccuWeather on Android) to inform me when the rain was about to clear and for how long which last night, proved itself invaluable. I set up the tripod and adjusted the settings on my Sony a7R3 and repeatedly pressed the shutter release cable button every 15" until I eventually managed to capture a lightning strike right next to Perch Rock Lighthouse.
The inclusion of the crane platform to the left pleases me immensely for it adds an extra layer of interest as well as helping to balance out the composition. Having returned home at 6.30am, I think a couple of hours sleep is in order. Have a great day everyone.

Take it! (attributed to Yogi Berra, who didn't say most of the things he said). Still colder than Anchorage, Alaska and McMurdo Station in Antarctica here today, and the weekend is looking even chillier.... And now AccuWeather thinks we need 4-8 inches of coming-down-sideways blizzard snow on a 3F high Sunday, which we most certainly don't.
As Yogi would also say, you could look it up: quoteinvestigator.com/2013/07/25/fork-road/
And then you could look that up: manythingsconsidered.com/who-said-that/
It continues to be warm here and I haven't seen a lot of migrating birds, not counting all the Mallards shown here and thousands of starlings....
October 28 Wichita AccuWeather forecast: Some sun; High 92; windy with the temperature breaking the record of 83 from 2016; strong winds and dry conditions can lead to an elevated fire risk and blowing dust.
AccuWeather reports a -5 RealFeel in the small town of Chillicothe, Illinois as IAIS SIPE crawls by the depot, now sporting brand new, much larger lettering. (When I was here last chasing PESI, it did not look like that.) Leading today is the single best engine on the roster - the IAIS 152, an EMD SD38 sporting a beautiful RS3K.

[This morning, the website IQAir says that the "PM2.5 concentration is currently 5.7 times the World Health Organization annual PM2.5 guideline value". Accuweather says that "The air has reached a high level of pollution and is unhealthy for sensitive groups".]
According to the accuweather, we will have 4"-8" snow on Today. So I went to the local golf court again to take the pictures when the snowfall is not too much. And when I were back home, it became little bit heavy.
When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.

Mammatus clouds are bubble-shaped or pouch-like cloud structures. They are also a somewhat rare example of clouds in sinking air as most clouds form in rising air. Although mammatus most frequently form on the underside of a cumulonimbus, they can develop underneath cirrocumulus, altostratus, altocumulus and stratocumulus. For a mammatus to form, the sinking air must be cooler than the air around it and have high liquid water or ice content. Mammatus result from the sinking of moist air into dry air. They could be described as upside-down clouds.

Now, I really am not an early riser. I wish I was, but I'm not. I consider 8.30/9am a good start... But for some reason this morning I got up at 5am and went out to take some photos. Given town was covered in fog (Accuweather lied) I went back up to the hills where there was some sunlight.

On any given day, if it's windy and cloudy, the first thing I will think is to grab my camera, walk by the river and the bridge and take a few shots. That's what I did during that day, although AccuWeather was not ... THAT accurate and I had to find shelter under the bridge as the rain came in earlier than expected.
Ότι ημέρα κι αν είναι, εφόσον ο ουρανός είναι συννεφιασμένος και έχει και αέρα, ένα από τα πρώτα πράγματα που θα σκεφτώ να κάνω είναι να πάρω τη φωτογραφική μου και να πεταχτώ μέχρι το ποτάμι και τη γέφυρα που είναι κοντά στο σπίτι μου. Αυτό έκανα και τη συγκεκριμένη μέρα. Δυστυχώς το application για τον καιρό δεν ήταν και ... τόσο ακριβές, οπότε αναγκάστηκα να αναζητήσω καταφύγιο κάτω από τη γέφυρα καθώς η βροχή ήρθε λίγο νωρίτερα από ότι την περίμενα.

Just some target practice walking around the home place last night...this Cottontail appeared to be frozen in place, but I knew better. It was 107 degrees at the time! Our AccuWeather unit informed me that we hit 117 F (47.2 C) with a "feels like" heat index of 123 (56.1 C). I went outdoors and walked around for 20 minutes to experience that historic level of heat and I can report that it had a distinctive bite to it, especially in the direct sunlight.
I checked accuweather at 4:30am and it reported 20% clouds in the morning but it was actually more like 6%. 😃 So I strolled around Pabco trails just snapping away.
If the expression “red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky in the morning, sailors take warning” is right, what’s this? There is some truth to that saying, as Jesus points out in Matthew 16: 2-3, He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” Weather prediction has improved greatly since those days with apps like my locally available AccuWeather, though I’ve found its accuracy to be somewhere around the plus or minus 95% range. Oh, I believe the climate prognosticators do their dead level best to nail such a relative science down yet get it so wrong. I also believe one of God’s favorite jokes must be to mess with them, “Hey, angels! Watch this…” Keeps them humble, I suppose. Before you think too highly of yourself in that regard, you must realize that you likely cannot interpret the signs of the times either.
To find the answer to this image you must turn back further in the Bible than Matthew… much further. Genesis 1:3-5 states, “And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” That had to be astonishing! No light whatsoever, then BOOM! Have you ever thought about that separating “the light from the darkness” bit? That comes as a result of a planet in stable orbit around a star, turning on its axis. There’s more science in that statement than most know.
Charging up Highway 276 toward the Blue Ridge Parkway this particular morning, I was aware of the time, the physics to get there, the nature around me, and the point I wanted to intersect Earth’s orbit at the moment of sunrise… all for naught. The “prognosticators” got it wrong with the supposedly ‘mostly clear morning’ in total overcast. It seems mountain weather is speculative at best. The Sun rose, as it’s prone to do, but I didn’t see it. I felt that the joke wasn’t just on the weatherman this morning. I backtracked on the parkway looking for perhaps a consolation photo.
Rounding the mountain north of Graveyard Fields, the sky opened to this. I hurried to the next overlook, with Looking Glass Mountain nearby, realizing that this was the best joke ever. God, the God of creation in Genesis, the Giver of all good things threw me a bone of something so primordial in its beauty — BOOM! — quite like Genesis. The sky was in constant flux with sunbeams moving and blinking in and out of existence at the will of the wind. Being awestruck is a great way to start the day. I highly recommend it … especially if your camera’s a little heavier as a result.
BBC Weather, AccuWeather, Eye in Sky, MetOffice all said there would be 2 hours of sun over Leek and the Roaches this morning. I spent 2 hours in snowstorm waiting. And waiting. And waiting... until I gave up and went home. Next time, Staffordshire!
Records have been shattered as the polar vortex unleashed the harshest cold in years on the Midwestern United States during the final days of January.
After the polar vortex plunged southward, temperatures plummeted under 20 below zero F from North Dakota to northern Illinois during the morning hours of both Wednesday and Thursday.
Biting winds made the extreme cold more life-threatening as AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures dropped under 50 below zero. Frostbite can occur in mere minutes on exposed skin in these conditions.
A potent storm will drop southward along the Pacific coast and hit California hard with torrential rain, heavy snow and widespread travel disruptions late this week, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. Impacts will be felt statewide, but the most significant impacts are forecast for Southern California.

The crew of IAIS 6988 is tending to the locomotive as it lays over in Annawan between its second and third excursion runs of the day. Meanwhile, clouds gather over the aptly-named "Iowa Bolt" as a storm system gathers strength not much further to the west. This storm system was not supposed to happen. After getting rained on with torrential downpours the day before, I made sure to check all my weather apps before I left home. All three of them (Weatherbug, Storm, and AccuWeather) all said it would be warm and partly cloudy, with no rain at all in the Annawan area. So I didn't grab my rain gear at all, a decision that would soon be regretful.
One of the advantages of the weather here in Seattle is that during times rain, which is about 3 days a week (or so it has seemed lately), it gives us the opportunity to venture out and find those parts of our city that have subjects that can be photographed indoors.
Such is the case in the photo you see above, taken at the Volunteer Park Conservatory in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, about 200 yards from where both Bruce and Brandon Lee are memorialized and buried. The conservatory features five different temperature zones, which contain a variety of plant species from all over the world, including a Cacti garden with temperatures of up to 80 degrees in the middle of winter here in Seattle. Now that's my kind of place! Especially in regard to the winter that's being predicted for this region.
What are some of the better places/opportunities you have when the weather isn't quite cooperating near you?
Yes, boys and girls, it's 104F actual degrees today. Accuweather Realfeel® heat index is 108F (42C).
But if you think I'm taking off my shirt in front of Hippyhappyhay, you've got another think coming.
Views of the Mummy Range from Many Parks Curve, Rocky Mountain NP. A first for us with this type of cloud; I had no idea what it was until we did a little research and found this info.....
Lenticular clouds have been regularly confused for UFOs throughout history due to the their smooth, round or oval lens-shaped structure. The clouds are not uncommon, but are most regularly found near mountainous areas and can appear singular or stacked like pancakes.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Jesse Ferrell, lenticular clouds are formed when air moves over mountains, cooling sufficiently for condensation to take place. Lenticular clouds are different from other clouds because they don't move, he said. "They are continually reformed over the same location by new air rising up and over a mountain, condensing and producing the clouds," Ferrell said.
Have a great week....and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!

While most of my friends in the lower 48 are enduring sweltering heat - we are basking in ideal temperatures. I just read the AccuWeather report for our little corner of the boreal forest, and I was shocked to see that in a week and a half, our low overnight temperature is predicted to be in the twenties. It's a good thing that Doc. has all of his large outside projects done.

In horrible conditions (not what accuweather said it would be like!) a very nice surprise passing Gemünden am Main is 141 228-7 with 3 coaches. I have no idea where it was heading from or going to, but more detail on this museum locomotve is contained in here:
Still haven't been shooting…digging deeper into the archives. I found a few more images from Big Springs that I spent some time processing. I really am eager to get out and see some local waterfalls, so let's get this winter started! Earlier this week Accuweather showed 4 days of rain at the end of the month, and now that has turned into MAYBE a day?? Went with a square crop to cut some junk out of the top. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
Changdeokgung Palace, Seoul, Republic of Korea on a wet and wild day.
Tropical Storm Meari was just starting to strike Korea, and the after affects stayed with us for much of our time in the country.
Good for watching rain being shed from graceful palace roofs. Good for practicing being as competent with an umbrella as the locals.
The AccuWeather.com Long-Range Forecasting Team still expects a stormy winter for the U.S. with the worst in terms of snow and cold targeting the Midwest and interior Northwest.
Big Midwestern cities, such as Chicago and Minneapolis, will lie in the heart of this zone.
While the worst of winter will be focused over the Midwest and Northwest, it does not mean other parts of the country are off the hook.
Above-normal snowfall is also forecast for the interior Northeast and northern New England.
A region-by-region breakdown is given after the following discussion on factors behind the forecast.
Factors Behind the Forecast
A weak to moderate La Niña is a key factor in the 2011-2012 Winter Forecast.
"La Niña, a phenomenon that occurs when sea surface temperatures across the equatorial central and eastern Pacific are below normal, is what made last year's winter so awful for the Midwest and Northeast," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Heather Buchman stated in the initial release of the 2011-2012 Winter Forecast.
La Niña winters feature a stronger northern jet stream, an area of strong winds high above the Earth's surface. This positioning and strength of the jet stream over the northern portion of North America tends to cause storms to track across the northern tier of the U.S., spelling harsh winters from the northern Plains to the Ohio Valley.

I had my camera on a tripod and was holding my little fold up umbrella over it as it was raining heavily by this stage at day break.
You can see this is a slow exposure, from the movement of the ferry.
The colour turned from a warm colour of the long exposures of night time, to blue as the sun struggled to shine its light from behind the heavily overcast sky and downpour of rain.
Images continued to attract me so I continued taking pictures!
UPDATE:
After a week of solid rain we are having the heaviest July rainfall on record

I invited a Duke grad student from China along with me on my last foray to the Blue Ridge, last Tuesday and Wednesday. My intention was to do some night photography at Max Patch Mountain, though, per typical, my Accuweather app, which is correct plus or minus 100% (think about it) fell squarely into the “minus” category with widespread overcast hunkered over Max Patch into the night. That didn’t matter, because that was the only night available to me, so there we were... and my young charge, so unused to such wilderness, enjoyed every second of his time there, including hiking back in the dark. It had rained heavily on our drive up from Durham, and though the rain had moved off, the result was still evident as we hiked to the top… everything was quite wet.
Who doesn’t enjoy a good hike in the mountains? As a photographer, though, my intent is to hike back with a decent photo or two if at all possible. This was the only obliging composition that night… but it speaks to me. This is the only break in the clouds at sunset. The sun’s warmth reached out far enough through the dreary overcast to affect the wet mountain pass below for mist to rise brilliantly into the sunlight… and in that, I see an allegory to an answer to many prevalent problems facing this nation.
I’ve seen and heard issues of every worldview slung around without order or structure as answers to the problems of life. Everything from pacifism to feminism, to socialism, to pantheism, to pragmatism and much more have been offered as answers to our problems… have you ever noticed how idealism, in general, just anything with ‘ist’ or ‘ism’ attached is more often steeped in Godless opinion regardless of truth? Often, that understanding leads to issues of “social justice”… I’ve come to know that when the words “social” and “justice” come together within those worldviews, it becomes little more than another can of worms that makes things worse… nobody needs that. How do you live rationally in that understanding? The Universe conforms to a moral order, which assumes there is a definition of truth, that being what conforms to reality… absolute truth. What that means is that in order to keep from “cutting against the grain of the Universe (Sin Is Folly, Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.)” we must conform to that reality – that moral order – to make rational sense of this life.
So how do we live to bring such rationality to bear? Abraham Kuyper gives us an approach: “If the battle is to be fought with honor and hope of victory, then principle must be arrayed against principle: then it must be felt that in Modernism the vast energy of an all-embracing life-system assails us, then also it must be understood that we have to take our stand in a life-system of equally comprehensive and far-reaching power.” When you understand the light of God and how it can affect those it reaches out to with warmth and peace and depth and understanding and love, you begin to understand there is a far better answer than the “isms” we’re assailed with.
Here’s a stunning lecture on the subject by Chuck Colson. It’s as relevant now as it was then. Please give it some thought… and get inspired! www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2609&v=qPal82KvVHo
The map function here has lost its mind again. Anyone else experiencing that? Max Patch, the Jewel of the Appalachian Trail, should stand alone as its own location. I shot this from the Carolina side of the state line near there, but the map chose the closest community in Tennessee instead with no way to edit it... keep working on it Flickr!
