Departed Samdrup Jongkhar to our next overnight Trashigang.
Spectecular trip with mostly low cloudbase and from time to time clear skies and our first distant sights on eastern Bhutan.
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.

"You leave me no alternative. Captain Scarlet, I sentence you to death."
"I understand, sir."
"However, as you are indestructible, there'd be little point in standing you up before a firing squad. Dismissed. "

Storm clouds overhead in Northern Nebraska on 19 May, 2009. There's no post-production sharpening here - just precipitation-free cloud base along a very specific line. This was the collision zone for two cells in a multi-cell cluster. In the distance you can see the beginnings of a cyclical wall-cloud forming, but the only thing these storms ended up producing was some golf-ball sized hail later in the day. This was one of my favorite shots from my first Midwest chasing expedition...
Bournemouth Pier.
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. Fun.

Indications of wavelets over W99, despite the SSW flow, on 2006.11.29. The cloudbase is estimated to be 7000 to 10000 feet MSL and the cloud features, especially in the highlighted area, are indicative of wavelets formed by the high-speed airmass flowing from the SSW over the Allegheny Plateau and Ridges.
Usually the best conditions for wave at Petersburg require high-speed NW winds from 850mb to 300mb (5000' to 30,000' MSL), but this photo demonstrates that smaller wavelets can form even when the winds are from the SSW.
Photos taken at 11:10 a.m. GMT-5 / EST on 2006.11.29 from WV State Route 42 a few miles North of Petersburg. The mid-point faces roughly south west.
