Back from our break in Winterton, playing catch-up with the washing and the gardening, and will be doing a Flickr catch-up soon hopefully! We had a great time, the light was fantastic on the beach, where we said 'Hi!' to Ki and Fudge and chased a frisbee or two! Amazingly, we avoided a drenching all week!

I couldn’t resist this view with farm house and the dark clouds homing in, how a view I pass regularly can change so dramatically. Myself and the dogs were a good mile away from home on our early homing walk, on a quiet footpath though the fields. The dogs waited patiently while a framed the photo I wanted, two or three frames just to be sure. Turning around the dogs bounce excitedly, “time to head home boys” I say.
I like to include some BW work every now and again into the stream and upon finding this location I knew from the start it wouldn't be a colour final image.
This gnarly old beast was literally the only tree in about 4 or 5 fields of tall wheat, overseeing everything from the highest point on the land, hence the image title..., you'd really have to wonder how this singular tree came to be here!
Getting to a spot to shoot it from was a challenge as I had to work out where I wanted to be first of all light wise as there were 360 degree options, then try and walk very carefully through existing plough lines so as not to damage any crops, while I was setting this up 3 horse riders came past, no idea what they thought of 1 bloke stood in the middle of a huge crop field looking at a tree ...

The sun going down, in the long exposure, takes on the shape of a jelly bean, partly obscured in this picture by the clouds.
A five minute exposure at sunset, using the Lee Big Stopper.
Note the modern "draw bridge". That is a pontoon bridge that can be moved to side when a ship needs to pass.
Gestern abend, von Westen her Richtung Nord-Ost, die "NINA-App" warnte. Die Wolken zogen dann ab Richtung Karlsruhe und Bruchsal und Starkregen richtete dort Überschwemmungen an.... wir sind knapp davongekommen.

Struggling for anything new to upload so it's back to my holiday snaps.
Enjoy a lovely weekend everyone!

We've had several days of sharp April showers in the Midlands, and this day was no exception.
It's wonderful from a photographic point of view, pure drama!
Thanks for looking and the 'Faves' & comments. Really appreciated.
Actually... it's the road to the Sussex village of Redford (aka the Linch Road). The stormy skies were so eerily dark I just had to grab a shot even though there was nothing much to put in the shot!

It’s quite difficult to capture the Rampion wind farm on the horizon as it’s 8.1 miles from the Brighton coastline. But it does help that each of the 116 turbines is 459.3 ft high.
Fortunately when I took this shot the orange light from the suns rays highlighted the turbines for me, albeit they are a tad blurry.

Vestmannaeyjar or the Westman Islands are a small mostly uninhabited achipelago and lie off the South Coast of Iceland, on the days that we were in this area they were mostly invisible, hidden by mist and low cloud.
This one day however we had visited Seljalandsfoss and the light had been pretty good, on coming out of the big waterfall cave there near to sunset the light was absolutely superb, really kicking off over the islands with a ginormous set of storm clouds drifting over them the low sun was somehow breaking through and illuminating the islands as sillhouettes, it didn't last for very long so was really lucky to be able to get a shot as I already had my longer lens in the bag, an absolute joy to watch.
The ferry to the island can be seen in the far right corner of the image, hadn't noticed that at the time..

The dark clouds, rolling over and down the mountains bordering this lake, were the harbinger of heavy rains. Photographed in the province of Phang Nga, Thailand.
Sunlight transforms these black clouds and displays them in marvellous designs made of amazingly beautiful colours. IT is all about Sun.. Let the Sunlight enlighen us too..
A flock of crows heads to it's night time roost. Crows form large communal roosts at night where thousands of individuals gather in trees. Around here at sundown they can be seen like this flying to their roost site. This is a steady flow of crows lasting over a half hour or more.
Taken earlier this afternoon and possibly the shape of things to come this weekend . Not long after we did have a down pour of hail , who knows what else is to follow - have a great weekend but also a safe one !!

It's Rainy Season and Hurricane Season for us right now in
South Florida (from June 1st to November 1st). We're seeing
'quite-active' weather-development (recently) on a daily-basis.
I have quite a backlog of sunset-images mixed with thunderstorm
activity, and I will be posting those 'weather-event' evenings over
the next few months, along with some summer wildlife captures
and probably some travel-photography, too. Enjoy your summer!

This lifeless landscape is the landscape of Twistleton Scar.
After getting out of bed at 01.30 I headed for this location in the hope of catching some star trails. As normal - the met office let me down badly and instead of totally clear skies - it was raining sideways and the clouds were thick and fast moving.
I slept in the car from 04.15 to 06.15 whilst awaiting my friends to arrive then we all headed up to Scar End.
I have never seen a limestone pavement before and it didnt disapoint at all.
Scattered all over the edges of the Scar are various live and dead trees which have all been sculpted by the strong winds and further over there are a few erratic rocks which stand quite prominently ( I didnt have time to get to see the rocks but will return a few more times ).
To the right of the picture you can see Ingleborough which is one of the Yorkshire 3 peaks.
I'll add a few more pics when I've processed them.
Now I am off to bed !
Multiple exposure from the installation in The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. This artist is really interesting and has many amazing looking works on her website. Her name is Latifa Echakahch and she's Moroccan and French.
