Cloud Inversion
View allAll Photos Tagged inversion
We still are waiting for the real winter with snow to come.
But if wafts of mist lying over the Rhine valley like a wet blanket,
it is something wonderful and releasing to walk in the sunshine on
one of the wide plateaus of the Black Forest.
Like here near St. Peter.

Inversionswetterlage
Wir warten immer noch auf den richtigen Winter mit Schnee im
Schwarzwald.
Wenn jedoch Nebelschwaden über dem Rheintal liegen wie eine nasse Wolldecke, fühlt man sich wie befreit, auf einer der sonnigen Hochplateaus -wie hier bei St.Peter- wandern zu können.

Wishing you a great start into the new week, dear friends.

Honesty
.....the ONLY policy!!
Honesty (Lunaria) - in my garden and in my heart. With the latter, unlike the former, it doesn't just appear in spring, there are no stages, no tweaking, no compromises and no exceptions, it is a guiding Light, Take it or leave it.
In the times of inversion and great deceit in which we live, a world where lies are the accepted norm, from the very top down and throughout all media, then speaking the truth is considered a subversive act ..... or at least it soon will be.
It is an interesting contemplation that honesty and truth are not necessarily synonymous. Truth by definition is honest, but without honesty that which is true can be difficult to discern.
This flower also has lovely papery white seed pods that the sun shines through and illuminates in autumn.
Mont Blanc seen from the Swiss Jura. The contrast between dry warmer and cold damper air is a common phenomenon over Lake Geneva during this time of year. Notice that the Mont Blanc is actually not reall white any more. There has been no precipitation since last November.
Down in the valley there was thick fog during the day, but it broke up from a height of about 2,900 meters and then opened up a wonderful, sunny view of the 3,000m and higher mountain peaks. Incredible feeling.
Spring has officially come to Utah!
Taken with further practice on an Olympus Tough TG-6.
While I certainly wouldn't trade in my DSLR for the "grand" landscapes I seriously prefer shooting the most, there have been gaps in my ability to do photography I've been meaning to fill. Having a durable point and shoot I can practically carry on a trail run is one example. Also, anyone who has followed me for some time knows I sometimes travel in challenging terrain where a heavy, bulky camera could be dangerous under certain conditions. Finally, I have wanted to respond a little more quickly at times to wildlife, though granted that isn't usually my top emphasis. But hey: When it's good it's good! ;-) I'm learning a bit about this right now, and just having some fun too... This time of year it feels like all sorts of opportunities are ahead. I could do anything anytime!

I know.....it's that cloud inversion again !!! Having had several requests to post the colour version of this amazing sight.....here it is. For those of you not familiar with this image, please refer back to my first B&W version for details of this special morning. I was not sure about working on the colour image, but it has grown on me, and I hpoe you think it is worthy of some exposure.....feedback will be very much appreciated.

Based on the weather condition of cities along ocean front, I determined that it's a day with cloud inversion, a nature's charm typically only occurs in some remote places, e.g. Mt. Tamalpais. To explore or not to explore was my question, and I felt thankful that my daughter encouraged me to explore. Drove about 30 min in a winding road to reach the Pacific side of a local mountain and I took one shot, yes, only one shot, to record this beautiful moment.

View from Ještěd mountain. Mount Ještěd rises to a height of 1012 meters above sea level and you can find it south of Liberec in northern Bohemia. At the moment, you will find a hotel with a restaurant, a TV station and a nature park on the top. Before the construction of the transmitter, Ještěd was decorated with a large cross.
Struggling to get out these days, so here is one from the old catalogue. Cloud inversion over the Firth of Forth in Scotland
The blue planet. It's only blue because particles in the atmosphere bend light so that it appears blue.
Blue is my favorite color. It's a color that occurs in nature and it's also the color of the cross in the Finnish flag.
Water is usually depicted as blue, even though it has no color. Why does it look blue then? Because it reflects the color of the sky, which appears blue because of those particles.
Many things aren't what they look like. Like this photo, the landscape in it. It exists because of my vision, not because I stumbled upon a view and captured that with my camera.
If you come visit Tampere, this exact view doesn't exist anywhere.
Reality is what we make it. There are things you can't control and things you can. Give up the pursuit of being in full control and embrace the randomness. How things appear to you is a matter of choice, a matter of attitude. Just like in photography the point of view can make a huge difference.
Having something you can be in control of can help cope with a devastating event. I lost my mother very recently and photography has been the way to go for me.

Last week we had a lot of snow and so i couldnt be bothered driving so walked up the road a little. the fog had been down in the valley all day and so i was hoping for a sunset with the cloud hanging in the valley. thankfully it did but this horse wanted in on the action and i personally think actually makes the image!
One from many years ago taken from the upper slopes of Canisp in Assynt Scotland. Looking out over an inversion towards the summit of Cul Mor with the distinctive shape of Stac Pollaidh behind to the right, in the distance on the left is An Teallach.
The original was deleted (Not by me) so it has been to photoshop from a copy which in itself was of a poor quality, hence I will never do the scene justice. The fields 7 village were near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, UK
Playing around with tones of grey by turning light into shadow and shadow into light. This 'negative' representation has its own charm and is still capable of portraying this moment in the life of these old trees.
Scotland on home from Isle of Skye, sure this was near Glen Garry Viewpoint West area if I remember correctly
A similar shot to the previous version but in B&W and taken with the 105mm setting. In this the turbines out in Aberdeen Bay are clearly visible. Taken around the same time as the previous joiner this taken a few minutes later. Colour version available if anyone would prefer to see it but as it is so similar to the previous shot I have not put it up.
