Early morning spring shadows heading out of the small South Island town of Glenorchy, New Zealand towards Mount Aspiring National Park. Looming directly ahead is Mount Earnslaw (Pikirakatahi) the 15th highest in New Zealand at 2,830 metres or 9,250 feet.
Cwmorthin Quarry is a slate quarry west of the village of Tanygrisiau, north Wales. Quarrying on the site started in 1810. In 1860 it was connected to the Ffestiniog Railway. In 1900 it was acquired by the nearby Oakeley Quarry and the two were connected underground. In 1970 it closed along with Oakeley. There was small scale working in the 1980s and 1990s, the mine finally closed in 1997. LLyn Cwmorthin. 1/2

I think this is probably one of the best--if not THE BEST--locations for taking photographs of Mt Rainier. It was only a minute or two from my house too! Imagine that! ...but we have since moved! (recently) Same general area, but probably about 10 miles away. I've found another spot since moving that comes in a close second! I haven't actually had time (with the move) to take advantage of it, but surely I will soon!

After a short pause, I find my courage and allow my mind to venture further within this vision like some drunken bee. Or am I floating about like a ghost? A whisper on the breeze catches my ear. A voice? Focusing on the ledge of a single petal, I find an anchor. I must catch my bearings. Why is my vision fogged? For some odd reason, the smell is becoming a bit more pleasant. My stomach is no longer hurling in knots. Ahead of me, the warm glow feels quite inviting. From out of the light, loom long giant arms. As I peer closer they appear to beckon me forward? The effect of the breeze or something else? "Come to me..." Now, I am hearing voices. It must have been the wind. I must move forward.
Continuing the adventure into nature. I will be catching up this weekend and look forward to being back. Happy Friday my Flickr friends!

Enjoy a view of the Seattle skyline on Christmas Day.
At first, the scene appeared to be fairly typical for winter, and not very dramatic. However, as the temperature rapidly continued to decline, the movement of the clouds caught my attention, but not for the reason you might expect.
The clouds not only seemed to decelerate, but they also traversed over the skyline at an oddly slow pace.
Creeping.
You can tell because I took several long exposures. This image was captured in 15 seconds. While you can see the effect of the exposure on the waters of Elliott Bay, the motion of the clouds appear to defy the length of time passing, temporarily suspended over the city.
Hovering.
Looming.

Lenticular clouds can mean different things in different places. These lenticular clouds signal an approaching front. Heavy rain arrived within hours of taking the photo which shows the road along Lake Ohau leading into Hopkins Valley, Southern Alps, New Zealand.

Cycling up Glen Tanar, I round a corner and am presented with the imposing heights of Mount Keen. A little way to go yet before I reach the foot of the climb, but I'm getting there!
Mount Keen is the most Easterly of all the Munros and although it is the closest to where I live, although I've climbed 10 others before climbing this, my 11th Munro. It stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet) and forms an almost perfect cone in its prominence. I made the ascent from Glen Tanar, cycling 6 miles in by bike (with an ascent of 210 meters / 689 feet), taking about 1.5 hours. This left me a final climb of just over 2 miles, with an ascent of 549 Meters (1801 feet), which I did surprisingly quickly (for me) at not much more than an hour. Including stops the whole trip was just over 4.5 hours, not bad for a 50 year old covering 16 miles of tough ground.
Deansgate Square in Manchester has these four incredible tower blocks. The scariest thing about them was I noticed a window being replaced in an apartment near the top of one of the towers. I felt a sudden terror at being in that room without a window!

Palm tree shadows loom over a quiet beach on Barbados' platinum coast. Not far offshore sits a breakwater presenting photographic opportunities.

Hastings beach and the impending rain cloud. Due to school and bank holidays I haven't been near a pc for days, hence yet another iPhone one.

A storm brewing in the evening at my familiar sunrise spot at the east end.
Hey another Flickr display format change? hmm I actually kind like it this time. It sort of resembles the original format. Looks nice and clean. Finally, thank you, FLICKR
