Another shot from Hound Tor on Dartmoor National Park. I just love those granite outcrops, the perfect setting for a fantasy film. Have a look for the person scrambling around in between the rocks to get a sense of scale!
This was one of those days when I was so glad to be out with the camera. As we walked to the top of Lancing ring we walked into low cloud then almost as soon as we walked into it it dissipated, I thought damm my luck some nice conditions have passed me by but as we got to the top of the hill and looked down and across the Adur valley cloud and mist were floating about in the breeze like a line full of washing. I could not believe my luck as I shot away at low cloud and mist below me as the conditions constantly changed.
This is a ten shot hand held panorama to capture the line of cloud and misty conditions across the valley, I just wish I could have got a bit closer in than I did but a barbed wire fence held me back, me and barbed wire fences do not get on.
More to come from here and others in the next two weeks before we head up to Northumberland .
Going into the communal garden with Ross early yesterday morning, so he can do his stuff! I noticed this beautiful cloudscape. The clouds had gone later on!
Some unusual cloud formations this evening, these birdlike shapes caught my attention. ©Peter Zabulis

As is the norm for June the bright sunny day was eventually to change to a stormy one. It takes time for the clouds to build but eventually they turn black and you know you need to get inside at the double!
Note the large Buddha head on the opposite shore...
Spectacular cloud display seen from the Weather Station Observatory on Mikazuki-yama, Chichi-jima (in the Ogasawara Islands chain, Tokyo Prefecture).
The original showed a slight distortion (concave horizon). I considered removing it, but then opted for actually increasing it a bit to add some dynamics to the scene.

Kinderdijk is well known for its numerous windmills. In the Netherlands, the drainage system is an important matter. The Dutch need a large drainage system in order to keep the inhabitants from drowning, because some parts of the Netherlands are below sea level. In the Alblasserwaard, problems with water became more and more apparent in the 13th century. The Dutch dug large canals to get rid of the excess water in the polders. These canals are called "weteringen", and they can still be found all over the country. However, this method was sufficient only for a short period of time. The ground started to lower again because of its structure and the level of the river began to rise at the same time. An additional way of maintaining the level of the water in the polders was required. The Dutch decided to build a series of windmills. The windmills would pump water into a reservoir until the level of the river had reached a certain level, in which pumping water into the river was made possible again. Gaining full control over the water was never possible. In the past, the residents of the Netherlands suffered from many severe floods.
