A beautiful sunrise greeted me after a 2:30 am departure from home and several hours on the road.

One night while sitting in our lounge room down in Burnie, Tasmania, we started to notice everything turning pink outside the windows. I grabbed the only camera at hand which was the big medium format film 3D camera, and grabbed this single shot from our front garden. It was changing fast and this was all gone and just another dull grey evening within 20 seconds!
It was just a mix of a briefly vivid sunset behind me shining through a very narrow gap in the clouds lighting up some unusually low cloud that had rolled in over us leaving a very shaded deep blue sky beyond the lower level of the low clouds. It made for a momentarily eerie scene.
Being such a hasty shot, I didn't have time to grab a tripod, and from memory, the exposure time was very slow - perhaps just 1/15th of a second, hence it is not perfectly focussed or steady, but I just had to grab something from this single amazing minute of colour.
Original colour slide was taken around 2007 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.

Timeless Land
Yothu Yindi
This is a timeless land
This is our land...
Just like the wise man
Who taught me the beauty
Of the creation times
The point where the mountain
Meets with the sky
Sparks a fire within my sould
Watching Mother Nature around me
Woman, creators, history
Finding these people Up in the mountain
Sharing the same old song
This is a timeless land
This is our land...
This is a timeless land
This is our land...
Well, Covid free by the looks of it, and at last feeling well enough to spend some time in front of my PC to process some images from our trip to outback NSW nearly two weeks ago now.
We were driving along a 280km dirt road, and the land was flat, for as far as the eye could see in every direction.
Then, out of literally nowhere, out of my peripheral vision, I spotted this Knarly old tree.
Skidding to a stop on a red dirt road raises some awesome dust clouds, let me tell you.
A few minutes after I shot this, we were back out of the car, chasing emus.
Brilliant amazing trip with my better half.
Hope you like “Timeless Land”
Cheers, Mike
This is a mono version of a massive squall that moved northward down the Vatnsdalur Valley in North Iceland. The small farm of Leysingjastaðir in the foreground with the ramparts of the the Víðidalsfjall Range behind. The main peak of the range at 970m, masked by the storm.
For literature fans, this is the landscape of "Burial Rites"by author and fellow Tasmanian, Hannah Kent. The book tells the tragic tale of the last woman to be executed in Iceland. Much of the book is set at the Kornsá farm - somewhere in the storm and out of shot to the left.

As the storm was moving away, there were several lightning bolts with Acropolis and the Parthenon on the foreground. One can also observe the temple of Olympian Zeus with Zappeion (lower left edge) and Acropolis Museum (the orthogonal building between the temple and Acropolis).

This peaceful Riverland sunrise started with a lively display looking for all the world (to my eye) like a volcanic eruption as the lava burst forth from seams in the rock. From this, the sunrise went through many other mesmerising stages that lasted almost an hour. An amazing start to the day!
Originally taken in 1997, this black and white shot was a rescue job from a pretty badly lit colour slide. I could not quite get the colours looking like they should due to the brightly backlit cloud, so I transformed it into a more timeless black and white look. Taken at the peaceful little town of Franklin on the Huon River in Tasmania, looking north, the hills in the background are all part of the mountains that form a backdrop to the west of Hobart, including Mount Wellington. They all had a wonderful dusting of mid winter snow.
Original shot was taken with a Pentax Z-70 SLR. Lens was a Sigma 28-80mm zoom. Film was possibly Fuji Sensia 100.

Actually, I have no idea what this little bay is called - it may not even have a name as I literally tripped over it whilst looking for a suitable Milky Way vantage point.
While it wasn't so good for astro (a couple of big trees overhead), being there right on twilight was a lucky break. Had to wait a while for a set to roll through and yield some white water but it was worth it.

This was our last night on the ship as we were steaming NW directly toward the Florida Coast, and the sunset in the west was directly ahead of the bow. Almost as if the captain pointed the ship directly at the setting sun! A magical sunset at sea developed. Magnificent! And we were headed straight at it! Was pretty windy, but absolutely incredible for the dozen or so of us out on the bow witnessing this. A truly awesome sea-sunset. Spectacular! Thank you for looking.

Volcan Cumbre Vieja, La Palma, Canaries, Espagne.
L'éruption venait juste de se terminer quelques jours avant
mais il restait de jolies émanations de gaz
qui tapissaient le fond des cratères.

The eruption had just ended a few days before
but there were still pretty gas fumes
that lined the bottom of the craters.

It was a pretty wild evening, with lots of thunder and interesting clouds as sunset approached. It had been close to 100F during the day, but with a lot of wind and some rain, there was a dramatic drop in the temperature. It went from over 90 to 69 in a few minutes.
The most photogenic lightning bolts on this day, occured towards the southern parts of the city, near mt. Imittos (on the left). Moments with 3 or 4 bolts simultaneously. I selected two captures from that day. Taken on 31.08.2024, in Athens, Greece, looking southwards. Canon 5Dmk4, Sigma Art 14 mm, f/4, 1/25'', iso 100, NiSi ND64 nano IR filter.

The Canadian wildfire season began early and continues to burn. It has become the worst season on record. As a result poor air quality and muddy/murky light have claimed the skies over Canada, northern United States and has even reached Europe.
Down in Port Fairy, they don't bother with solar panels to collect the sun's energy. They just tap straight into the sun! ; )
This big cat is just waiting to pounce as the sun rises.

A pseudo forced perspective of my AUTOart 1/18th scale model E-Type Jaguar Series 1 roadster with the backdrop of a silhouetted sunrise in the Riverland near Mannum in South Australia.
Another lovely colourful sunrise was in progress until a sudden rain shower tried its best to blot it out. This was a lovely moment where the two were in balance. One thing I did notice while watching the rain landing on the previously mirrored surface of the Murray River was the noise the rain made - it was exactly like the sound of sizzling bacon! Maybe I was just hungry! : )
Rais de lumière aux travers de la forêt,
sur les pentes du Mont Aiguille en Isère.
Rayos de luz a través del bosque

Raggi di luce attraverso la foresta,

Rays of light through the forest,
on the slopes of Mont Aiguille in Isère.
This was a bright "mock sun" about 22 degrees off to one side of the sun, often called a sundog - formally called a parhelion.
Happy Nice Wonderful Clouds Tuesday!
It was a decent chase day (and night). As the storm moves away, there is a sharp boundary between that and the clear starry night sky. A distant bolt completes the frame.

👎 Rejection:
On 19 August 2025, the administrator for the Flickr group "CSSS: Earth - Landscape Dominate" rejected this photo. (The acronym 'CSSS' stands for 'cloud, storm, sunset, or sunrise.) So, let's examine things. The image displays dissipating storm clouds; sunset will arrive within the hour; the beach landscape comprises half the image. So what's the problem? Unexplained nonsense.
