Stinging nettles, weeds and wild trees have taken hold on the lawn at Clouds, the old home of Lady Idina Sackville, which was famous for it's wild dinner parties and nights of wife-swapping, where guests would roll a dice or blow feathers at each other in an adjacent room, to determine the evening's pairings. The house has been falling into disrepair since it was bought, in 1969, by a civil servant who worked for Kenya's Land Adjudication & Settlement Department for 75,000 Kenyan Shillings (£560). The family of born-again Christians say they can't afford to maintain the buildings. They said they rarely have parties because they don't drink alcohol and they don't have many friends. They keep sheep in the old kitchen, the dining room is now a maize store and they keep potatoes in the old gatehouses. They felled an avenue of more than 20 gum trees in 2003, after one of them collapsed onto the house. They said they would like to restore it to its former glories but can't afford to.

I had a feeling it was going to be a nice sunset on Friday night so I headed beachwards. As is often the case, I was indecisive about which shot I liked most so I've gone with a multi-upload. I liked each of these for different reasons. The shots were taken on the foreshore at Beaumaris, I thought the leading marker here might add a little interest. Just after I packed up my gear about 12 swans returned in the most perfect formation...
I took a few wide angle shots too and might upload a couple later.
"I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I hope we can just win the whole thing and I can run off into the sunset and say good-bye..."
It was a chemtrailed kind of day on the first day of February. Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. HAARP clouds and even a chemhalo was also observed later on. (Sunday morning, February 1, 2015; 9:42 a.m.)
*Weather update:
A large low pressure area was in the Gulf of Alaska with a large high pressure area over the western U.S. The low pressure area was generating frontal systems and are sending them along the jet stream toward the west coast. When they hit the ridge, they are weakened and forced northward. However, while the frontal systems dissipate when they hit the ridge, each one of them weakens the ridge a little. This means that the next system would survive a little longer and would be able to push rainfall a little farther inland.
Closer to home... Today, much of Northern California was to be partly cloudy to partly sunny with above normal temps. But by Thursday through Saturday, things could finally get interesting. Each day, stronger frontal systems was to slam into the high pressure ridge. The computer models are not in agreement with how much the ridge was to weaken with each passing frontal system. As frontal systems 'pound' the ridge, my feeling on this is that the Thursday frontal system that is forecast was to bring rain to the coast, and coastal and northern mountains with a few showers elsewhere. The Friday system was to bring moderate precipitation to the coast and coastal mountains but the precipitation amounts will drop off as the system moves inland. By Saturday, I think the high pressure ridge would have been beaten up enough to allow the Saturday front to bring light to moderate rain to all of Northern California (hopefully)!
Another one where a Bible verse might be good ... This time showing equal parts landscape

i was going for a hike and i saw this gigantic phalanx of thunderclouds heading towards me and i broke out my camera and took a couple of pictures and now i'm posting them because i think they make the clouds look vaguely like an invading army and a run-on sentence thank you.

Mahabaleshwar, India. This is a natural silhouette the agent of which is the thick could blanket characteristic of the great heights of Mahabaleshwar.
It was the wet season and throughout the day large rain clouds loomed over the hills on the horizon. Ususally it would start raining about 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
Couldn't help taking it and uploading it, :)
I wonder what was the cause to building this shape! LoL

I only found out later when I stopped in the next island

actually, this is a simple cloud where a straight cloud/smoke from a plane/jet comes from and then I used a plug-in..
booom, it became like that...
