It's really hard to predict when a sunset will be good for stacking. I thought that last time lapse would come out well in lighten mode, but actually darken mode worked better. This picture is the result f keeping the darkest pixel at each point of the previous time lapse video (and then boosting brightness and colors, which tend to come out dark and muddy from all the blending). You can also see the paths of a bird and a rower on the water.

The weather forecasters are predicting that we might get some winter weather in the next few days, so far we have got off relatively lightly . I doubt however it will be as cold as Arctic Norway this was taken around lunchtime in December and whilst there was no sunlight, the snow does make it appear brighter then I was anticipating . The light has an unusual blueish tone through the short Arctic day .
The image is looking down toward the Malangen fiord about thirty miles south of Tromso
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
We had gorgeous sunshine when arriving at Siglufjordur in Iceland's North, but suddenly lenticular clouds started forming and we knew we would get a storm and three hours later we were sitting in the very thick of it.
The groundhog predicted an early spring here in Ottawa. Right now we’re being hit by another big snowstorm and I’m not very optimistic about the prediction. I haven’t been able to take many photos with the frigid temps and cold this winter so I’ll be digging into my older files for a while.
Here’s hoping this little gosling will bring some luck and is taking his first tentative step forward into spring!
Have a great weekend Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
08-november-2021: in the beautiful mountain environment between "Sella Nevea" Ski Resort (1162m a.s.l.) and Plains (1551m a.s.l.) of mount "Jôf di Montasio" (2754m a.s.l.), the summit in the background of this shot.
However, roughly 1 in 3 people worldwide still view the vaccine with distrust and uncertainty. Instead of a safety guarantee, they see the jab as a new risk that must be overcome. And when we look at the countries, which have very different health care systems and distribution plans, different perspectives are beginning to emerge. Confidence in the safety, efficiency and general distribution of the vaccine is very high in China, India and the UK, and lower than the US average. It is possible that uncertainty among the public will decrease as more people get the vaccine, but in March vaccination rates were still very low. 17 percent of respondents worldwide say they have been partially or fully vaccinated, while 83 percent have not received any dose. And it's unclear when vaccines will be available to anyone who wants one. Nearly 4 in 5 respondents who want the vaccine expect to receive it this year - but given the slow pace of global distribution, this seems unlikely. In January, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) predicted that immunization programs for most of the world's population will continue through mid-2022. This is critical, as a slow or uneven rollout jeopardizes the pursuit of herd immunity in the short term. As long as not enough people are vaccinated worldwide, there is a risk that a vaccine-immune variant will develop. It is unknown what proportion of the population needs to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to induce herd immunity.

Well it certainly took a little longer than the predicted 5hr journey time to get there. Nine hours with only one stop for coffee and recharge the battery for my phone.
Two bad accidents on the A19 and the M90 created tailbacks for over ten miles. On both occasions we stood still for over an hour.
So you can appreciate the delight the next morning, when we were treated to this beautiful sunrise behind the castle.
Named after it's Gaelic name, Dun Fhoithear, literally meaning "fort on the shelving slope"
As far as castles go, it's difficult to imagine a more remote and dramatic location than Dunnatar.
Perhaps with the most impenetrable position of all Scottish castles, this one sits on top of it's own cliff peninsular on the road to Aberdeen, defended on all sides by the forces of nature.
Dunnatar Castle also comes with a good dose of dastardly history with an intrepid mix of torching, smuggling and pillaging.
Add to this some seriously stunning scenery and vistas to rival the best.
There are 50metre high cliffs on three sides of the site. While those are pounded by the North Sea, the fourth is joined to the land. This section was once a peninsular, but it's access was destroyed in favour of a cliff pathway. As a result you can only reach Dunnatar via a narrow, twisting route that ends in a tunnel, making it one of the most difficult Scottish castles to get into.
Strong winds and rain predicted for today and this evening, so Marnie and I had a good walk this morning. Here's my goodbye to 2024.
To be honest, I'm hoping the weather will be bad enough this evening to put off lots of the fireworks, as they really do cause Marnie a lot of trauma, and therefore, me too !
Whatever the weather, have a good night and an even better 2025 my Flickr friends !
Thanks for all your support in 2024 -- so appreciated !

Fourth time lucky to eventually see some gorgeous evening light in this wonderful woodland in Devon. The weather has been so difficult to predict with contradictory forecasts but we struck gold or rather sapphire.
What an amazing evening feasting our eyes on the magical spring wild flowers in full bloom. It was so peaceful with the exception of two noisy Buzzards high up in the trees probably trying to copulate.
We watched the the most incredible sunlight beaming through the woods casting wonderful light and shade across the magenta bluebells. I must admit the scene wasn’t easy to photograph with the high dynamic range but extremely enjoyable. After taking a few images along the pathway the sun dropped quickly leaving the wood in darkness. It didn’t end there though as we were walking back to the car a fox ran across the footpath in front of us. Minutes later we spotted three deers close by in the adjacent field.
So here’s my first image of bluebells in 2023 and I hope you like it and can imagine yourselves in this mystical wood.
Light Filter dark clouds and an odd light filter through the trees predicting rain to come soon, shot in North Carolina.
“If the oak is before the ash,
Then we’ll only get a splash,
“If the ash is before the oak,
Then we’re sure to get a soak”.
This West Country, (UK), rhyme, indicates that the tree that gets it’s leaves first, predicts either a dry or wet summer.
The ash trees in this photo were just beginning to come into leaf on 22nd of April, while the oak tree in the background already had a good covering of leaves. The oaks are usually one of the last trees to get their new leaves, this year they were very early. It remains to be seen how accurate the rhyme proves to be in predicting the summer weather!
Neowise was addicting for us and we found ourselves where the skis were predicted to be clear. We ended up at Carrizo Plains on this night and I was able to get both the setting moon and the Comet . The moon is actually just a crescent, but with the 10 second exposure it appeared fuller.
An interesting note: The Satellite WISE was launched from our very own Vandenberg AFB on 12/14/2009 for the purpose of Wide Field Infared exploration. In Sept of 2010 it ran out of the necessary cooling hydrogen for that purpose and went into hibernation. It was reactivated in Sept of 2013 to use the still viable camera to search for Near Earth Objects (NEO), thus officially being renamed to NEOWISE. It discovered the Comet which they also named NEOWISE in March of 2020.

Tonight's sunset looks potentially promising - it's hard to predict, but the variable clouds and wind mean it's worth a shot. I've also been testing a sunset quality prediction app which puts the odds of colorful clouds tonight at 45%...
I'm trying to decide where to go - I want a wide open view to the northwest to see sunset at this time of year. I've been wanting to try a timelapse from the southeast corner of one of these ponds, maybe tonight is a good night to try that.
The weather forecast predicted today to be sunny so I decided to get up early and see the sun rise. This was taken about a quarter past five. *yawn*
I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other :-)

Often a sky like this predicts rain but yesterday we had top temperature in the country which is not easy when we are closer to the South Pole than almost all other cities. Our friend eats breakfast with this view every day but is moving soon to another part of the city. She wanted me to get a sunrise picture and me wanting to help a lady finally got myself there on a day with a sunrise :)
Fog and rain today, but tomorrow things will be icing up. Freezing rain and high winds are predicted for weekend. Probably a good day to catch up in Flickrland 😊

There were many fast Carolina wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus) active at the Springfield Nature Center. Perhaps they were telling me the rain was starting and there was snow fall in the forecast also. We did get 3-4 inches (5-8 cm) but not the predicted amount.
So the consensus among the groundhogs who predicted whether we have an early spring or not, is that we will have an early spring. Although that made a lot of people happy, my husband and I decided we would go out and enjoy that huge dump of snow we got last week before it was all gone! We snowshoed part of the Bruce Trail at Burnt Point. It was an amazing hike. I cannot remember the last time the trees were so full of fresh snow. Truthfully, I am enjoying the winter!
Predicting a 'hung' result for the Calder Valley?
For the record, an unidentified Northern class 158 working the late-running 10.53am Wigan North Western - Leeds (2I11).
Bit of a laff, probably won't leave it up........
......or maybe I will.

the predicted solar storm arrived on Friday night, it came with clouds over many areas luckily it cleared to see Strong Thermal Emission with Velocity Enhancement or STEVE and a picket fence
The only sure way to safely predict what will happen in the future is to travel through time the slow way and observe what happens.
The phrase ‘only time will tell’ means we won’t know what will happen until it does. A case of stating the obvious.

The forecast predicted clouds, so arising early I brought coffee and cameras to the roof.
It was very pleasant, about 40ºF and almost windless. I found that I miss the old swamp cooler, the top of which made a nice table for my gear.
I'm happy I bought my food yesterday, because todays roads are a mess, 50cm snow came throughout the night
Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, United States, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899, and the last in 1958, with one of the last concept cars built in 1956, the Packard Predictor.
— My watch can predict the future!
— That's impossible! Can you prove it?
— Sure! — glances at the watch — Right now it's saying you have no panties.
— You see? That is wrong, I have panties on right now.
— Oh, I'm sorry, its 10 minutes fast...
52 Weeks of 2022. Environment.
Dragonflies are an ancient family of insects. They have been around for 300 million years and predate the dinosaurs. There are over 5,000 species spanning all continents except the Antartica. They are important bio-indicators for environmental health both of water and land.
North Thompson River
Kamloops BC
This is one of my favourite views of the North Thompson. You can see here that this stretch of the river really meanders a lot. The nearest bit of water, this side of the bridge, is actually an oxbow (a meander that got cut off from the actual flow of the river). Most of the year this is a shallow wetland and a protected riparian habitat.
Around the end of May at high water, the wetland will become part of the river again for a few weeks, The snowpack up in the mountains is at a very high level this year and so flooding is predicted. The City of Kamloops is making preparations for flooding and have advised property owners along the river to start making sandbags and other preparations now. Social distancing will mean that neighbours won't be working together on such tasks when it comes down to the crunch.
The first snow arrived at the higher locations in central Germany. So I took the opportunity to take some pictures in the fresh snow at the last weekend. Saddly the weather forecast predicts rising temperature for the next days :(
This version is for my friend Richard who suggested a dark background. As he predicted this image has more contrast.
Summer in Melbourne was milder than predicted this year, and it seems like it is bleeding into autumn, for the weather is warming up and everywhere gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
I took an afternoon stroll in the late summer sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Julia's Rose" which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. This coffee coloured rose bush is a favourite of mine, as I love the shape of the flowers as they expand into full bloom.
Introduced in 1976 by Wisbech Plant Farm in the United Kingdom, "Julia's Rose" is an unusual colour blend of coffee, lavender and pink blushes on long smooth stems. A tall open bush, this rose repeat flowers often in clusters from October to May and in cooler weather can become completely coffee-coloured.
As predicted by this years "Finch Forecast" there's been a relatively healthy influx of Evening Grosbeaks into Northeast Ohio. I say "relatively" because the population of these beautiful birds has been declining in recent years thought to be a result of the destruction of large areas of their boreal breeding grounds. Let's hope this can be addressed to help keep the numbers from decreasing. A huge thanks to one of Cuyahoga County's most talented birders who discovered this lovely finch.
