That's Mount Hood in the background. This storm moved very quickly from the north, then started heading west towards me just moments after taking these photos.
I had to race my bike home as the storm was at my back the whole time. I took SE Halsey Street west to the I-205 path south.
Troutdale to Happy Valley, by bicycle, is about 16 miles!
The passing stormclouds on the horizon were fillled with light every time the lightning flashed, adding to the peach coloured afterglow from the sunset. The solar powered lamps on the bird-watchinig jetty were shining brightly as were the stars overhead. It all added up to a wonderful light-show!
To the naked eye, all was mostly dark, but the 30 second exposure brought out the light and colours (along with some slight star trails).
3 separate squall lines over the SE Aegean sea, were producing TLEs all night long, during the night of Dec. 4, 2021. This one is from that night. Observe the inclination of the tendrils towards the top of the thundercloud. This inclination is dictated by the temporary, intensified electric field close to the cloud. TLEs appear, under specific circumstances, above active thunderstorms. On this night, more than 300 events were recorded. Surely one of the nights to remember. I've used a Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 51.2k iso. More about the Greek Team chasing red sprites and TLEs in general: antisimvatikos.blogspot.com/2019/05/tles-greek-archive-of...

The day started with snow low in the foothills of Tuolumne County, California. Very dark clouds in the afternoon. Clearing skies just before sunset.
The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts is 1,600-seat, 151,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) concert hall located in Carmel, Indiana.
After years of planning, The Palladium, one of three venues that comprises the Center for the Performing Arts, opened on January 29, 2011 and today serves as a venue for various musical concerts and performances. It is located at 1 Center Green, adjacent to the Carmel City Center. The four-fronted, symmetrical design of The Palladium, massed around the domed central space of the single room concert hall was inspired by Andrea Palladio’s Villa Capra, La Rotonda (1566). The Palladium is based upon the traditional shoebox-shaped concert hall with high ceilings and massive, sound-reflecting walls. The facility also features a limestone façade and movable acoustical panels that can significantly alter the acoustics of the hall.
The Palladium was designed by David M. Schwarz Architects of Washington, D.C. with local consultation by CSO Architects as Architect of Record. Indianapolis-based Shiel Sexton Co. Inc. served as construction manager.
The Palladium is home to the Great American Songbook Foundation. The organization's administrative headquarters are located on the Gallery level.
The other two venues that comprise the Center are the 500 seat Tarkington Theatre and the Studio Theatre – a black box with flexible seating.
Steven Libman was the founding President and CEO of The Center for the Performing Arts from 2009 to 2011. While there, he successfully planned and launched the first few seasons and produced two major opening night festival galas with: Michael Feinstein, Chris Botti, Neil Sedaka, Dionne Warwick, David Hyde Pierce and dancers from American Ballet Theatre. He also produced a PBS special with Michael Feinstein seen by 11 million viewers. The special titled "Michael Feinstein: The Sinatra Project" was nominated for Outstanding Music Direction at the 64th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
In 2012, Tania Castroverde Moskalenko was hired to lead the organization. She was previously the CEO at the Germantown Performing Arts Center in Germantown, TN. Under her leadership, the Center continued to expand the breadth and diversity of programming offered in its three venues and attained increased funding from individual and corporate sources. In March 2015, the Center announced a significant four-year sponsorship agreement with Carmel-based Allied Solutions.
In August 2016 Moskalenko resigned from her position and Board Chair, Jeffrey C. McDermott (Partner, of the law firm Krieg DeVault) assumed the role of Interim President and CEO. In August 2017 McDermott was officially elected by the Center Board as the new full time President/CEO. McDermott will also remain Senior Counsel to Krieg DeVault.

Temperatures and conditions are yo-yo-ing around the ballpark. We had several days 10-20 degrees above normal and now a run 10-15 degrees below normal. While these clouds looked pretty serious, no rain came.
Nov 2018 comment: I'm confused,,, does a "22 degree halo" occur only when the sun is 22 degrees above the horizon? This was mid-day in June, so the surface temp must have been hot, yet these are caused by ice crystals. Anyone??

More than 30 TLEs were observed during the evening of Nov. 13, 2023 over thunderstorms at SE. Aegean Sea. Parent lightning flash seen below. The dark horizontal patches are clouds. Orion nebula can be seen on top.
TLEs (like red sprites) 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 30 k iso.

After more than three months of high temperatures and no sign of rain on the horizon, promising clouds are gracing our sky.
To put this into perspective, my back yard rain gauge has recorded less than 10 inches of rain since October 1, 2020.
These two flyers were enjoying some great conditions at Stanwell Tops just north of Woolongong on the New South Wales coast. The nearer one's name was Jesse (he was one of the flyers standing on the ground in my last post) who saw me with various cameras and tripods, and he was very obliging with some wonderful close swoops. I only just managed to catch this one and keep it within the frame of the medium format camera.
Original colour slide was taken in July 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.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

SOUTH COAST TRACK
Summon up a map of Tasmania and take a good look. You'll find Hobart in the southeast with plenty of roads leading north to Launceston and Devonport. Then take your eye down to the southwest of the island to see a large swath of green. Look closer. There are no roads, no towns and only one tiny port on the southwest tip of the island. You're marvelling at Southwest National Park and all of its wild glory. You'll find the South Coast Track along its southern edge.
Spanning 85 kilometres from Melaleuca to Cockle Creek, this walk takes 6 to 8 days to complete. It meanders through some of the wildest lands on planet Earth, and, because of this wildness, it is recommended that you gain experience on some of Tasmania's other difficult walks before challenging yourself on the South Coast Track. The Overland Track in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park serves as a good warmup.
While there is a rugged road to Cockle Creek, there are no roads to Melaleuca. The small encampment on the southwest side of Southwest National Park has a small airstrip and Port Davey for the landing of boats. You can only fly, boat or walk your way out of Melaleuca. Boats and planes can be arranged in the west coast town of Strahan.
The South Coast Track by Season
It is advisable to take the track during the summer months. It is warmer between September and March but you are at risk of high winds, cold temperatures and a deluge of rain at any time of year. And while it is possible to complete the track alone or during winter, it is highly inadvisable to complete the track alone in winter. After all, you're a long ways from help if you need it. Always hike in groups of 6 or less.
Here is a wonderful quote from the back of David Attenborough's new (2020) book:
"A Life on Our Planet; my witness statement and a vision for the future":
"We share Earth with the living world - the most
remarkable life-support system imaginable,
constructed over billions of years. The planet's
stability has wavered just as its biodiversity has
declined - the two things are bound together.
To restore stability to our planet, therefore, we must restore its biodiversity, the very thing we have removed. It is the only way out of this crisis that we ourselves have created. We must rewild the world."
Today the Turkey Vultures enjoyed the high winds and I was enchanted with the clouds. A very pleasant day to be outdoors.
