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.

There was no sun but some good clouds to be seen on our recent walk along the beach at West WIttering.

While on the left (previous photo) Mr sleek and thin was pleasantly floating about in peace with ease, this monster was forming on my right, overtaking one sphere of space in the cloudzone.

The straight rays of light at the top left corner of the photograph are real. By watching the image carefully at full zoom you should be able to see very tiny black "dots". These dots are birds.
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.
