I invite you to visit all my photo-gallery. Thanks
Just wandering around downtown Los Angeles, CA, and I walk around a corner and see this. I think I just stood there for about 10 minutes before I even reached for the camera hanging around my neck. Weird building!

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.

After the thunderstorm, we got a nice treat. Fortunately, I was on a spot with unobstructed view to capture it. The portrait orientation helped to include all the colors of that moment.

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.

Our neighbour over our back fence has this wonderful Wollemi pine growing in his garden. This tree species was only known in fossil records until a small number (less than 100) were found growing in the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales in Australia in 1994. It is a very old species dating back to the time of the dinosaurs. Some interesting information is available on Wikipedia.
This particular specimen is about 10 feet tall. Last year, it was looking quite sick and slightly burnt looking, but it has recovered well this year.
Between storms, rain, and lockdown, I am on the hunt for interesting local photographic subjects. There is always something around!
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
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 was a very prolific session, concerning TLEs. More than 120 events were observed during the evening of Nov. 11, 2023 over #thunderstorms at E. Aegean Sea and W. Turkey. This is a so called "Jellyfish" red sprite event (a term used by sprite-chasers). That is, a group of "carrot" sprites stacked together, creating a red "dome" on top and a "forest" of tendrils at the bottom. The mountains of Evia isl. can also be seen with wind turbines on top of them. The light behind them comes from the parent lightning.
TLEs (like red sprites) are upper atmospheric electrical discharges and they appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).
I've used a #Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 40 k iso.
Check our recent #paper about TLEs from Greek-based observers, here: doi.org/10.3390/environsciproc2023026009.

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.

‘Twas a beautiful display of convective blowoff from the previous evening’s storms over NW Missouri.
Green Park, MO
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.

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.
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.

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.

Excerpt from www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-heritage-buildin...:
The building in question is at 3725 St-Denis Street, between Cherrier and Roy streets, in the Plateau–Mont-Royal borough.
It was built at the end of the 19th century for the Soeurs de la Providence, a nuns' order founded in 1843 by Émilie Gamelin.
Built: c. 1885
Original purpose: Institut des Sourdes-Muettes, under the Soeurs de la Providence.
Area: 20,183.30 m2
City's property evaluation: $22,632,000
The building housed a centre for the deaf and mute for nearly 100 years.
The nuns established Montreal's Institut des Sourdes-Muettes there — an institution for the deaf and mute — which they ran until 1975.
The building was then sold to a Quebec government ministry in 1979. It most recently housed the CSSS — the administrative offices of the Quebec health care and social services agency — until its dissolution earlier this year.
Reorganized and merged under Health Minister Gaétan Barrette, the CSSS became the CIUSSS (Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux).
"There are interiors of the building that are very interesting to the public — the chapel, the dome," Bumbaru said.
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.

CSSs Kingsbury Job, one of the few jobs that doesn’t run under wires, cruises out of LaPorte passing a small lake outside of town.
Witnessing a completely unique sunset each evening like this "one and only" example shown above and confident that the next day will present another unique scene.

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.
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.
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.
