Just about a year ago great friend Mark and I had the fortune to witness an epic dawn sky that was easily the best of the year.
I've spent an entire year waiting for one to come my way again, but it's not been that sort of year, so here's another one from that morning of many.

Amazing storm clouds at Melbourne, Derbyshire at sunset this evening, within minutes I was being hailed and sleeted on and then within another 5 minutes it was clear again...awesome weather
An epic dawn sky along Sawley cut a few weeks ago.
Long exposure used to smooth out the choppy waters a little
"Chandrabhaga Roars Beneath the Clouds"
Billowing clouds roll in like ancient giants, cloaking the horizon in shades of charcoal and silver. The wind howls across the shore, stirring up foamy waves that crash relentlessly onto the golden sands. Every gust and surge feels like nature's own heartbeat — wild, untamed, and alive. In this moment, Chandrabhaga doesn’t whisper tranquility — it roars with power, majesty, and raw coastal emotion
A boat in the dock of Nafplio, the Peloponnese in Greece, facing the small Venetian castle of Bourtzi.
In an age of ash and ember, these windmills rose like ironclad leviathans moored in a sea of reeds. They were not made of wood and hope, but of cold, forged steel and reinforced concrete, ancient dreadnoughts anchored to a dying earth. Their colossal sails, jagged and heavy as the wings of fallen angels, groaned against the sulfurous gale, churning the very soul of the storm. Beneath a sky that bled a final, desperate gold, they stood as the last bastions of a defiant humanity—machines built to outlast the stars and outface the encroaching void.
They were the silent executioners of the horizon, where the gears of destiny ground the dreams of men into the dust of eternity. As the shadows lengthened, their dark silhouettes became one with the obsidian waters, reflections of a skeletal army waiting for a war that never ends. These were the true masters of the wasteland: grim, unyielding, and magnificent in their desolation. They did not merely watch the world end; they stood as its armored tombstone, guarding the legacy of our fire against the absolute silence of the dark.
The sea lay unnaturally still, as if stripped of will, waiting beneath a sky that had begun to descend. Vast and suffocating, the clouds carried the weight of ancient shadows and silent sentences long since decided. Light bled along the horizon, trapped between fire and void, clinging to existence not in hope, but in defiance, aware that this was its final reckoning.
No thunder announced the moment, no voice dared to break the silence. The world understood what was coming. Every ending leaves a scar, every silence a warning. And at the burning edge of the horizon, where the last glow surrendered to darkness, time itself bent, diminished, before the cold permanence of eternity.
A painterly look at the (partially burned) forest on the mount of Parnitha, Athens, Greece. And in the distance, that light.
Another view of the famous shipwreck of "Dimitrios" (formerly named "Klintholm"), a small cargo ship in the beach of Valtaki, just outside Gythio in the Peloponnese, Greece. You can check the interesting story of the shipwreck in wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitrios_(shipwreck)

It is the component of tension and uncertainty which excites me everytime again, when I go out with the camera. Not seldom I find myself in a world full of miracles. Mostly unexpected and always unique.

Playing hooky from work is a human right. I like to stroke that right as little as possible but when I do.....
Afternoon heat stirs the air, and by late day the sky starts to build. Towering clouds rise over the horizon, stacking higher and darker until they burst into summer’s show; rolling thunder, flickers of lightning, and the scent of rain on dry ground. By evening, the storm drifts on, leaving behind a washed sky and glowing light.
The heart of Tønsberg awakens under a blazing winter sunrise. Historic facades, draped in snow, stand silent as the horizon ignites in orange and gold. From the rooftop vantage point, the city’s blend of old architecture and modern lines becomes a canvas for nature’s fleeting masterpiece.
Fun Fact
Tønsberg is Norway’s oldest town, with roots tracing back to the Viking Age. Its historic streets and buildings create a unique contrast when paired with the dramatic winter skies of the Nordic dawn.
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus, at about 2400 light years from us.
It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop,a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. In modern usage, the names Veil Nebula, Cirrus Nebula, and Filamentary Nebula generally refer to all the visible structure of the remnant, or even to the entire loop itself. The structure is so large that several NGC numbers were assigned to various arcs of the nebula. There are three main visual components: 1. The Western Veil (also known as Caldwell 34), consisting of NGC 6960 (the "Witch's Broom", Lacework Nebula, "Filamentary Nebula"; 2. The Eastern Veil (also known as Caldwell 33), whose brightest area is NGC 6992, trailing off farther south into NGC 6995 (together with NGC 6992 also known as "Network Nebula"; 3. Pickering's Triangle (or Pickering's Triangular Wisp), brightest at the north central edge of the loop, but visible in photographs continuing toward the central area of the loop.
The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in the daytime. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 36 times the area of the full Moon.

Tornado captured 5 miles North of Vernon, Texas earlier this month. I decided to chase off of the dryline away from the convergence up north. Spun up quickly as I was sitting there watching. Lucky day.
