There is an array of wind turbines on a hill about 2k from our home. This morning I was talking to a friend about the weather & told him that the cloud base was such that I could see the blades as they swept below the cloud but disappeared as they went 'over the top'.

Went to Bournemouth to see the Annual summer Air Show, but it rained pretty heavily and the cloudbase was so low nothing much flew for the two days I was there.
This lifeguard looked like he was having a good time on the jetski though. Its a tough life. I'll stick to being (almost) dry, standing on the beach.
Ariadne moored Kilronan, Inishmore, Aran. Very low cloudbase.

It was late & close to midnight. I went out about an hour before the storm was supposed visit our area. Storm slowed way down but was producing some nice ambient lighting against the lower cloudbase.
So I decided to stick around & see what was going to happen.
I wasn't going to be disappointed.

The Imagine Peace Tower (Icelandic: Friðasúlan, 'the peace column') is a memorial to John Lennon from his widow, Yoko Ono, located on Viðey Island in Kollafjörður Bay near Reykjavík, Iceland.
Installed in 2007, it consists of a tall tower of light, projected from a white stone monument that has the words "Imagine Peace" carved into it in 24 languages. These words, and the name of the tower, are a reference to Lennon's campaign for peace, and his 1971 song "Imagine".
Description :
The Tower consists of 15 searchlights with prisms that act as mirrors, reflecting the column of light vertically into the sky from a 10-metre wide wishing well.
It often reaches cloudbase and indeed can be seen penetrating the cloud cover. On a clear night, it appears to reach an altitude of at least 4,000 metres. The power for the lights is provided by Iceland's unique geothermal energy grid. It uses approximately 75 kW of power.
Buried underneath the light tower are over 1 million written wishes that Ono gathered over the years for another project called Wish Trees. Iceland was selected for the project because of its beauty and its eco-friendly use of geothermal energy.
Operation :
The tower is lit every year from 9 October, Lennon's birthday, through 8 December, the date he was shot, from 31 December until 6 January (an Icelandic new year period), and for one week around the spring equinox.
On 9 October 2021, it was lit for the 15th time on John Lennon's birthday.
The monument was lit on 24 February 2022, with Ono saying the off-season lighting was "to show solidarity with Ukraine and emphasize the call for peace."
I never understood this, Colonel White was a Captain Scarlet repaint, Captain's Black and Blue were repaints. Then why, oh why, did they include Green's console in the Cloudbase playset, and have a regular Scarlet with no modifications sitting at it? (Rant over)
Custom micro figure of Lt Green, to sit at the console that Vivid Imaginations made but neglected to include a figure with. A repainted Captain Scarlet figure.

We had inadvertently turned off the TF-5 motorway and onto the TF-42 in our efforts to try and continue along the coast. We passed Garachico and its rock, then having reached Los Silos I decided that the roads were becoming smaller and I'd like to get back onto something resembling a dual carriageway (at least!), seeing as I was in a left-hand drive Toyota Yaris - completely alien to me.
Louise exclaimed that if we turn off we could join up with the motorway again at El Tanque. 'Great idea!' - let's cut across through Tierra del Trigo and we'll meet up with it. It was only 5km or so, but our map was just an A4 page - no relief info of what was to come, so we turned left and subsequently headed over one of the most amazing, yet scary roads I've ever driven on ...
The Los Silos to Tierra del Trigo road is described as 15% average gradient for 2km with dangerous hairpin bends. I stopped on a flatter part just over halfway up to take this shot, with the road we've been up to the bottom right. The cloudbase above - we would head up another 1,000ft or so into that, but later.
From the tourism info - "What really puts Tierra del Trigo on the map and makes it a place of interest, is the amazing road that zigzags its way down to the coastal farmland near Los Silos.
A conspicuous warning sign at the top of this road cautions would-be users about the danger of falling rocks and points out that great care must be taken.
There are websites that describe the road as one of the most difficult cycling routes in the whole world. It comes recommended only for extreme cycling experts due to its hairpin bends and steep incline. The incredible road from Santiago del Teide to the mountain village of Masca is its only rival in the Canary Islands."
Pat had stated as we turned onto the road 'I hope we're not going over that mountain.' Yep, and then some! It was brilliant. Four of us in a Yaris and honestly I had to drop from second to first just to keep moving up the slope.

A waterspout and nearby funnel-cloud hang from a dark cloudbase, over Tywyn, whilst at Ynyslas the dog-walkers and kiters seem unaware! Early September 2011.
