It was a beautiful but fateful day on April 7, 2022.
I was finally recovering from my broken tibia, when my kneecap snapped in two. Ow! One step forward...

The Rainy Season (and Hurricane Season)! LOL When the clouds
are out and briskly moving, and I can mix in a little sun...I get my
best skyscape-images of the year! Woo-Hoo! Thanks for looking.]

Sprites with halo (red disk over the sprites), on Nov. 21, 2023, over thunderstorms at the Ionian Sea. Halos occur due to the same mechanism responsible for sprites, appear higher than them, at 70–85 km, last for some ms, and look like faint red disks with a typical diameter of less than 100 km.
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.

From the Big Trip 3D slide archives - 2004.
Two fishing fleets riding out the storms in Albany, Western Australia - one being the actual fishing boats, and the other, this wonderful flock of Australian Pelicans (and silver gulls) sitting out the stormy weather as it passed though. This was taken from Emu Point in one of Albany's many and varied coastal harbours. Shortly after I took this, I returned to the car as it started to pour with rain once again and saw through the windscreen the pelicans all with bills wide open catching the raindrops! It was just too wet to get a shot of it, but fascinating to see.

A storm can be impressive not only when it's coming, but also while it's leaving. Its structure and the details will be appreciated from the stormlovers but also from naturelovers. Can you spot the mammatus? This shot was taken with a mod. dslr so there is a slight red/pink hue but it can capture excellently the deep red colors (when they are there) during sunset hour, so I tend to use it more often at that time.

This is my favorite military aircraft. If you ever get a chance, at an air show probably, to see this monster perform a short-field takeoff and landing, you won't believe something this large can go from zero to airborne in 3500 ft. (1064 meters).
Thank you all so very much for your comments and faves, but most of all I thank you for just taking the time to look. I appreciate each and every one of you! Gracias. Merci. Danke. Obrigado. Grazie. Go raibh maith agat. Tapadh leat. Gratias tibi.

Night storm with several CGs. This is a stack of 2 photos, one with a double CG and another with 4 CGs with temporal separation of 1' between the two shots. Relatively dense rain shaft is also visible.
Unfortunately, only 50-100 km away from me, to my NE, more than 320 mm (the 3/5 of the yearly rain of Athens) of rain fell in ~8 hours, creating floods and killing at least 8. The lightning frequency was every 5'' the most, with long periods of 1 strike per 1-2''. This frequency was going on the whole night due to a cut off low on the upper troposphere.

Conjunction of celestial planets together with an isolated thunderstorm cell over the Florida Everglades.
Severe nocturnal storm (possible spc) accompanied by stroboscopic lightning (see 4K video here: youtu.be/7qadUX00Tok) and a prominent green hailcore (shown here). This storm was going on for more than 3 hours, over Evia isl. and the Aegean Sea in Greece. I was observing it from a spot right south of it, in Artemis, E Attica, E of Athens, Greece. Early morning of the 11th of June, 2022. The large frame was shot with a 20 mm Sigma Art lens (slightly cropped) and the small frame was shot with an 85 mm Sigma Art lens. The light in the air is from an approaching plane to LGAV.

Just outside Halifax NS , is charming and quiet beach. Situated in East Lawrwncetown near the more famous beach. I prefer this one. I used two filters on this shot, a 6 stop ND and a grad
The sea is getting slushy, maybe it will freeze by January. However, our temperatures are forecasted to go above 0°C, this week.
More than 25 TLEs were observed during the early morning of Apr. 27, 2023 over thunderstorms at E. Aegean Sea and W. Turkey. Parent lightning flash seen below, between the clouds. Even though clouds were an obstruction, they filled the frame nicely.
TLEs (like red sprites) appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).

What could be more Aussie than a platypus in a gum tree?
I was actually taking 3D images of this pond and surrounds which lie in the Tasmanian Arboretum near Devonport, when I was suddenly surprised by this lively little platypus! Not having anything with me resembling a zoom lens, I was stuck with the camera at hand which was the big 3D World medium format stereo film camera and its fixed 80mm lenses. So, it was a quick re-aim of the tripod mounted camera, a very quick manual refocus, and hope for the best. When a platypus pops to the surface, they usually don't hang around for long.
Any day with a platypus sighting is a good day!
Original colour slide was taken between 2007 and 2009 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.
Following on from the first shot, here the wait produced some great rides on the northerly swell that led the surfers right into the mouth of the Mersey River.
This is where a lot of ships, including the Spirit of Tasmania passenger ferries make their way down into the heart of Devonport's harbour.
These two shots were almost too much of a challenge for the big 3D World stereo camera. It was designed more for static scenery or landscapes and only had a maximum shutter speed of 1/500th of a second. Combined with being stuck with film that was usually just 100 ISO, it did not like dull cloudy days like this for action photography! Both of the shots were in reality almost unviewable as they were very dark and underexposed, so quite a bit of rescue work was needed in post.

The utility wires glint with the light of the setting sun on the right side of the photo, which was taken 18 minutes before sunset.
This part of California has not had precipitation for three weeks. From a wet December to a dry January.... we don't need another dry year!
