These clouds have made it a bit difficult to spot the comet, but the combo with twilight colors was totally worth it. Taken on 12.10.2024, in Athens, Greece.

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.

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.

A view across the tidal sand flats, taken from the Port Germein Jetty in South Australia on a wonderful stormy day.
The view through the silver birch trees looking west from my comfy chair out on the front porch - always a great place to view the sunset and take life easy!
Happy Nice Wonderful Clouds Tuesday!
The beginning of a week or more of very rainy, stormy weather.
This was an extremely fast moving cell and I barely had enough time to run into the field, shoot the panorama and run back into the house before the down pour was upon me.

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.

This is the first time a secondary TLE (possibly a secondary jet) is observed and recorded in Greece. The shot was taken from W. Attica looking over a storm at W. Greece on Sep. 23, 2020.

Another image from the powerful storm we had a couple of weeks ago. Again taken from the safety of indoors from my laundry window!
I say safety, but apparently, in the same storm, someone in South Australia did get electrocuted inside their home when they flipped a light switch right at the moment of a lightning flash!
The brown tinge of smoke can be seen lower right where a local grassfire had been started by a strike. I believe there were as many as 40 to 50 grassfires in the south of our state that night.
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
Vigognes sur la lagune de Salinas à 4300m d'altitude, au Pérou près de Arequipa, et tourbillon d'air soulevant en colonne le sel de cette lagune.

Vicuñas on the Salinas lagoon at 4300m altitude, in Peru near Arequipa, and a whirlwind of air raising the salt of this lagoon in a column.
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.

I have a question for any experts out there. Anyone with knowledge of lightning and atmospherics, and also anyone with working knowledge of camera sensors.
I took these two shots yesterday, more in hope than anything, Being lucky enough to have the Sony RX10 that shoots at 24 frames per second, I pointed at the sky across the street and held the shutter for a second. I got lucky and managed these two shots. Not very exciting looking, being daylight lightning shots, but I am intrigued by the difference in the two shots. They are consecutive frames 1/24th of a second apart. Bolt 1 shows up the brightest, and actually shows the lightning in its ground to air phase and the bolt is only half completed. Lightning bolt 2 shows the completed bolt all the way to the cloud, but is fading in brightness. The bolt itself was very close with barely a second elapsing between flash and the window rattling thunderclap!
My puzzle is the first shot that shows a purple halo around the upward end of the lightning, and a corresponding colour shift across the image in the sky below the top of the lightning.
I'd love to know is this just an issue with the sensor and its response to a sudden intense flash, or is it atmospheric?
My guess is the sensor, but I'd love to hear other opinions or experiences.
These two shots are both cropped heavily from the left half of the wide angle image, hence the slight distortion in the vertical lines of the house.
Rais de lumière aux travers de la forêt,

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 the night of crawlers and upward lightning. Here is an example of the first, covering the whole FOV and more. This was an MCS lasting more than 7 hours throughout the night. Lightning frequency up to more than 1 flash per second at times and lots of hail. Athens, Greece, night of 26.09.2023.

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.

When the afternoon cirrus give a spectacular show of, maybe, the most intense and colorful parhelia I've ever seen, but you also have a construction crane in front of you so, you must try to incorporate it in your frame...

A pulse storm grows over northern Jefferson County, MO, seen from Columbia, IL. The feature under the base looked ominous, but it was nothing threatening.

Down in Port Fairy, they don't bother with solar panels to collect the sun's energy. They just tap straight into the sun! ; )
A fairly large specimen of Eucalypts viminalis. Tree is one of of a pair isolated in the corner of an irrigation paddock on the Macquarie Road south of Cressy in the north of the state and appears to be water stressed.
The mountains in the background form the Great Western Tiers or should they be 'tears' as the landscape saw numerous atrocities committed by white settlers upon the First Nations Peoples of the island.
Fuji XT-1, Contax G Carl Zeiss Biogon 28mm f/2.8 "Frankenzeiss". 1/140th sec at f/8, ISO 200.
The Frankenzeiss comprises the optical block of the Contax Zeiss G lens transplanted into the body of a Minolta PF55 that has been modded to Leica M-mount. It works very well with the gen-1 X-Trans sensor.
