This is Black Tor from our fantastic day hiking on Dartmoor last Saturday. The approach was rocky and would have been perfect for a Lord of the Ring's scene! The first part of our hike was pretty windy and drizzly but upon reaching the tor the weather started to change. I got some pretty nice conditions for a photo with sunlit rocks and dark clouds in the back. There's some terrific views from up there - both, into the distant countryside as well as towards Black-a-Tor Copse (see previous upload). As we just visited another tor called Black Tor the week before I wonder how many granite stacks carry the same name...
Yesterday we visited the fabulous double stone circle of Grey Wethers. This Bronze Age site features 2 large stone circles close to each other, the centre of both circles is almost perfectly North-South oriented. When the circles were excavated they found large amounts of charcoal in the centre. The reason for erecting 2 stone circles next to each other remains a mystery only Bronze Age folk would be able to answer.
I took this one on our way from Pew Tor towards Windy Post Cross (see previous upload). We had a really lovely and sunny picnic up at Pew Tor but the weather was quite volatile last Saturday and the dark clouds moved in quickly. We followed the Grimstone and Scortridge Leat, a little stream crossing the open moorland in between the tors. There were Dartmoor ponies and sheep scattered around in the landscape. While we approached this lovely couple I noticed a patch of bright sunshine moving towards us so I quickly got the camera ready and waited for the ponies to be in the sunshine for my photo.
Something I've noticed about piers. No matter the weather or the time of day, there is always somebody fishing on them.

The nature around Aachen is really worth seeing. There are hills and the forest area is extensive. Add to that the beautiful meadows and a walk there will certainly do you good. This photo I took at a green open field where I walked barefoot in the grass with my shoes in the hand. For me that is freedom and I felt one with the earth.

De natuur rondom Aken is echt de moeite waard. Er zijn heuvels te vinden en het bosgebied is uitgestrekt. Voeg daarbij de prachtige weilanden en een wandeling daar zal je zeker goed doen. Tijdens de wandeling liep ik een groot deel op blote voeten met mijn schoenen in mijn hand in het heerlijke licht vochtige groene gras en op zulke momenten kom je dan echt tot rust.

Mixed Light Series
The time of day that draws me in where electric light and natural evening light meet creating a few moments of a special blend that alters both.
I processed the image with a painterly abstraction expressing my impression of the moment.

Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls with water flowing below a lava field and right out of rocks. There are a couple of observation decks from where you can get good views and photographs.

Thank you friends for trying to identify the flower in my previous post. It is San Marzano tomato flower from my garden. God's creations are wonderful !
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. It is much appreciated.
It's eight miles around Mackinac Island on this narrow bicycle/horse carriage road. On a cold, rainy, foggy October day, the entire road belonged to me.
Another take from the fascinating Grey Wethers double stone circle. A few standing stones of the first circle are in the foreground, the second stone circle in the background.
This was the last photo I took here before we continued our walk back into the forest. Ironically, after about 3 min walk small gaps in the clouds opened up and for a brief moment the stone circles were illuminated against a dark grey background - would have been epic lighting for this location! At least I could feast my eyes on it but we were too far away for me to take any good photo at that point.
To quote Arnie: I'll be back!

Dark clouds over Lake Shikaribetsu in the south-eastern part of Daisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido, Japan.
The scene deems well suited for black-and-white rendering. Therefore, I converted the original colour photo, and added some noise (let’s call it grain… 😉) to give it a more film-like look.
Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33.

I had seen this reed bed at the beginning of my walk and before the sun had appeared. On my return I was greeted with this.
Great potential late summer!
It was a strange weather. I saw beautiful sunshine, then heavy dark sky and snow was falling heavily. And I just wanted to capture this.

September was still hot & humid within the wide open plains of Nebraska. The drought this time of year is normal. The heat is not. Was lucky to get this lone storm that afternoon.
The winding down of the storm season is right on time. We did have a few night storms with some good lighting. But my time is limited this time of year. Was only able to get this event.
A photogenic storm was what I need & what was received that afternoon. It was the last storm that I chased for 2022.
Thanks for Watching & Supporting my Photography here on Flickr!

Southwest of of Overton Nebraska...
This set of images is what I live for... Those epic moments when you finally hunted/found what your looking for. It does take a lot of patience to storm chase. The waiting, the planning, the doing. But the rewards at the end are priceless. My antlers on the wall.
Now for some storm chasers... the Holy Grail of Storm chasing is a Tornado. But not for me. It is events like this that give the full definition of Storm Chasing. It really what storm chasing Eye Candy is all about! It is the "Why" or the understanding of why I do this!
One the edge of this Nebraska Supercell I felt the AWE of Mother Nature!
Surreal!
Epic
Awesome!

Oh Yeah... Lightning Storm that evening... It came in late, and I had gear packed and ready in case a storm started to brew. Only a 30% chance but that means its gonna storm in Nebraska.
NWS had just issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Phelps & Kearney Nebraska Counties and it was moving right in my direction. I had time to get into position and wait for the show to begin! I ALWAYS have front row tickets to this type of show!
