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.
Thunderstorm started as seen from the left side of this panoramic shot. Soon it came towards my direction and I have to get off the rooftop.
Two contrails float across the sky, the bottom left being the frozen water from DAL1136 travelling from OMA to ATL at 35,000 feet with A320 N338NW, and the top right being from just two minutes behind EDV4927 from MLI to ATL at the same altitude with CRJ-900LR N148GJ. Well below the ice crystals left by these two aircraft is the frozen Creve Coeur Lake, the largest natural lake in the state of Missouri.

And now, for the long, warm evenings of Summer!
I usually stick to the astronomical seasons marked by the equinox and solstice, but long daylight makes my personal summer late May through early October. Of course, I watch plant life, as well.

Well, it's that time of year again for Aussie rev-heads. The Bathurst 1000 race is coming up this weekend at Mount Panorama in Bathurst, and I am getting in full couch potato mode ready for three days of V8 racing in front of the telly!
Although I don't normally follow the full motorsport season, I do have a special place for this particular race at Mount Panorama motor racing circuit, having been involved in the TV broadcast of the race many years ago. The broadcast itself actually won a TV Week Logie Award during one of my broadcast jobs there, and despite the presenter Bill Woods mentioning my position in the Logies acceptance speech, they strangely haven't sent me the Logie yet! ; )
This is my 1/18th scale die-cast model of the 2009 winner of this iconic race. This 2009 Holden VE Commodore was driven by Will Davison and Garth Tander, who won the Peter Brock King of the Mountain Trophy for 2009.
Taken with a backdrop of the Grampians Mountain range, taken from the Big Hill lookout in Stawell, Victoria. This shot was displayed on my computer screen with the model mounted just in front and lit with an LED desk lamp set on warm white to blend with the sunset colours.
Le long de quelques centaines de mètres et large tunnel de lave de la grotte des trois niveaux (Grotta dei tre livelli) sur l'Etna en Italie.
Le tunnel a deux entrées rendant une traversée possible, une nécessitant mousquetons, corde et baudrier, l'autre faisable sans matériel sauf peut être une corde pour s'aider, mais alors un peu dangereuse.
Along the few hundred meters and wide lava tunnel of the cave of the three levels (Grotta dei tre liveli) on Etna in Italy.
The tunnel has two entrances making a crossing possible, one requiring carabiners, rope and harness, the other doable without equipment except perhaps a rope for assistance, but then a little dangerous.

After a long, hot and dry summer, wildfires started in August 2025 to devastate Spain. This one happened August the 11th in Tres Cantos, north of Madrid, very close to densly populated areas. Fortunatelly the damage was limited due the fast and valiant intervention of firefighters.
… or would that be “meatball’s?” Perhaps it is a contraction for “meatborne pathogens?” Does someone out there realize they spent extra effort to spell this wrong, when spelling it correctly would have taken less work?
Perplexin’g.
Anyway, it was a pretty sunrise.

I grew up with this view of San Francisco Bay from the Berkeley Hills. The telephone poles on the right side of the picture were often an intrusion in sunset photos from the living room or bedrooms.
This photo was taken in mid-Fall, with the sun setting at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco is on the left side, behind a large Monterey Pine.
