The weather plays around every evening - the clouds had a summit in the sky and some strange light rays scanned the landscape.
Stitched from six images.
Cranes, Dawn Clouds. © Copyright 2018 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A flock of sandhill cranes flies beneath dawn clouds.
When I began photographing (mostly) migratory birds in the Western United States I was largely ignorant about what I was seeing. One of my first bird photography forays was essentially an accident. I happened to run into a friend in a coffee stand line one morning and she (who is a true "birder") happened to say, more or less, "I think you might like to go visit this place I know of." Given the way I sometimes work, that serendipitous nudge was sufficient to get me to drive a few hours before dawn the following weekend to visit this place I'd never heard of before. I arrived. There were tons of birds. (And I discovered the power of the sound of the birds, too!) I had no idea what I was seeing, but I liked it and I made photographs. I was hooked.
As I started to edge over toward an active compulsion to photograph birds more seriously I began to recall a earlier hints about this world that I had ignored. One was all the way back in a college "natural science" short course, where the prof (who seemed a bit "odd" to me then) went on about snowy egrets (which I mostly ignored) and made us read Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac." I didn't fully "get" Leopold's book at the time, but it planted a seed. (Re-reading it years later I understood more fully the power of Leopold's vision and his writing, and I recommend the book.) One thing that I DID retain from reading that book was an idea that there was something special about sandhill cranes, which were among the birds that I finally discovered in the real world on that first morning when I acted on my friend's coffee line suggestion. The birds in this photograph are sandhill cranes, which seem to me increasingly to be magical birds. In fact it is their characteristic cry that is my strongest audio association with the places where wild birds are found. I photographed this group very early in the morning as their trajectory took them below the edge of dawn-tinged clouds.

Glad to hear you all had a wonderful start to 2011. For all the enquiries....we are the lucky ones that are not flooded in. But wet wet wet it is..... with much more coming. Our new weather station on the roof is working well and soon will be going live world wide again.
Cheers from mozzie land :)
ps...will get to visit you all shortly. The computer hard drive has crashed (again) this time gone for warranty replacement. Just on a tiny old laptop now and will go blind with this little screen.
Oh what a start to the New year LOL....yes we are all still laughing.
The pool pump died, the chlorinator is on its way out, the toot broke down and just received a phone call from family using my other car that it won't start. Hallelujah! Now I wonder what is next? And I did not kill a China man :)
We are just laughing now and know it will only get better. Hey we have our health, healthy kids, grand children. What more can anyone ask for.
pps...oh I forgot the ride on lawn mower just lost a drive as well, and the amp testing machine is kaputt. OK I will start our New Year as from now ;-)
the sunset last night last quite some time, and whilst the sun could not be seen, the sky was an intense red/ yellow where it sets and the clouds to the right of where the sun sets had the most immense light cast over them.

An evening at Nauset Light Beach. One cloud overhead with setting-sun light starting to play on the clouds and horizon.
The vertical banding, like shadows is interesting. The sun was low, so I'm not sure what this is the camera's processor or a natural phenomenon.

Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII. Based on his sprite.
This is the 6th variation I have made of this figure. I wanted to use updated parts Lego has released and I based it on his sprite in game somewhat, hence the choice of the brighter blue.

Mammatus are pouch-like cloud structures and a rare example of clouds in sinking air. As updrafts carry precipitation enriched air to the cloud top, upward momentum is lost and the air begins to spread out horizontally, becoming a part of the anvil cloud. Because of its high concentration of precipitation particles, the saturated air is heavier than the surrounding air and sinks back towards the earth.

I love long exposures, everything to do with night time, the dark, sunrise and sunset.
I like to take pictures mainly at night , sometimes during the day and in dull and fading light and I will sometimes display the time and date the picture was taken too.
I tend to take pictures of Light trails, Motorway traffic, Street lights, Buildings, Landscapes, Bokeh, Night bokeh and Hexagonal Night Bokeh in England.
All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.
I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.
All of my pictures are copy right, © All rights reserved, you MAY NOT use any of my pictures without my written consent, you also MAY NOT change, alter, adjust or rearrange my pictures in anyway what so ever.
