Virga backlit by the setting sun. I spotted this while doing 60mph on a country road trying to outrun the dust. I was able to reach across and take this shot out the passenger window all while eating a slim jim and managing to not spill any of my... beverage.
Uma vista mágica da Pedra do sino - Teresópolis - Rj. Os tons do céu encantam com suas variações, na nuvem em primeiro plano a mão que se estende.
- Hj, um dia especial -
A great song:
Negramaro - Nuvole e Le Lenzuola
...
ore
che lente
e inossidabili
attraversano il silenzio del mio cielo
e si nascondono ad un tratto
dietro nuvole
che straziano il sereno
le senti riaffiorare quando tutto
tutto sembra aver trovato il giusto peso

Approaching storm clouds over Onkaparinga Hills. This was the 1st storm that hit Adelaide and the Clipsal 500 this afternoon.
Decided to re-process this with Photomatix (instead of Aurora HDR), Photoshop and, of course, a black and white, added organic noise and a touch of warmth.
Lots of shadow & midtone detail.
My flickr photostream looks better on Fluidr

This was taken last summer in the Ashton, ID area. A very unique cloud formation. It was horribly dry in this area as you can see by the parched vegetation in the foreground.
I know this looks exactly like a European Clouded Yellow but that species does not occur in Sub-Saharan Africa where I took this photograph. This is a male which has solid brown wing borders lacking the yellow spots of the female.
Changing the subject completely I had a really odd surge in views yesterday. I normally get 3 to 4000 views per day, more if I have something on Explore. But yesterday I had a surge of 121,000 views. There was no single photograph responsible, but several hundred of my photographs received 3 to 400 views, including old photographs which hardly receive any. Nothing went onto Explore yesterday either. The viewing pattern is back to normal today. My total viewing figures blasted through the seven million mark yesterday.
First morning after descending from Mount Kinabalu. Did a long exposure of the fog sweeping in, if look closely, you can see the light rays between the trees!
Thanks Nora for arranging the accommodation here for us, beautiful place to watch the clouds and Mount Kinabalu.
Atracado en el puerto de Las Palmas.
El "Sea Cloud Spirit" es un buque de tres mástiles con 28 velas. El velamen ocupa una superficie de alrededor de 4 100 m². El mástil principal se eleva 57,90 metros por encima de la línea de flotación. En condiciones óptimas de viento, puede alcanzar hasta una velocidad de 12 nudos. Su eslora es de aproximadamente 138 metros, incluido el bauprés (Wikipedia).
Storm clouds approaching in the evening would eventually create some pretty strong thunderstorms over night. Between the hot summers, cold winters, hail storms and tornadoes, North Texas is considered to have the most violent weather in the country. Keller, Texas, USA, March 2015
But no rain in the clouds as is the usual here lately. The drought streak of 52 days with 0.51 inches of rain continues.... though it was pleasantly cooler yesterday.
Oconaluftee Valley Overlook, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, NC
Planning my trip and sitting over photos of the Smokies, I gathered that Oconaluftee Valley Overlook and Clingmans Dome are the places to be for sunrise. This was then also confirmed by a park ranger, who also suggested these places.
During the summer months the sun is rising to the left of the frame, the side light really showing off the mountains and hills.
Around sunrise - this was taken 20 minutes after the official sunrise time - the clouds all but vanished and were replaced by fog that started rolling in. I had no idea that just a short ways further up, at Newfound Gap, the mountains were completely shrouded in fog.
