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.
Last storm to come today, as predicted. We will have a series of three storms over a four day period. Hopefully the drought in CA is almost over! This was taken from our deck which took us over five hours to clear. It is always so peaceful when a storm ends, and the snow is always appreciated.

I am sitting, staring at the wall
for hours
not counting time I think
about you, about you
one, two, three,
or maybe four
my city buried in snow
my heart is thawing
one, two three,
or maybe four
my heart is burning
and in my head you
I can't sleep
I have already predicted it all
not counting time I think
about you, about you

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
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.
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.

There is always something a little bit problematic when you know that you are moved by a picture because it's realted with you own history. When you post picture on social media, what you want is to test the ability of your picture to affect people living anywhere on the globe. For this reason, you want your pictures to be potentially universaly interessant : in other words, you want it to have equal chance to interest someone living in the cold mountains, in a big city, or on a lonely island.
However, sometimes, you can't help finding appealing images that are especially related to you or the specific place where you live, and so you have absolutely no idea how it will affect people living somewhere else… There's probably good reasons to post such pictures anyway – even if it's a little bit 'risky'. 1. For a lot of people, photography, as an art, should be a representation of it's author state of mind. In this sens, it has to be related with is own history. I am not in such a way of thinking, but I can understand it. 2. There's a problem with the 'universally pleasant pictures' : they are very predictable and conventional. You can see tons of them. Of course, they are always pleasing. But paradoxically, if it is true that we like predicable pictures, it's also true that we want photography to show us something that is really different from what we are used to see. Maybe, art starts only when this limit is crossed.
I don't have such pretension with this shot : it's quite predictive and consensual, I agree. But the very reason it moves me it's because it represent the typical landscapes of the place I am coming from. In this nightly snowy version, it achieves to make it cozy and to make me feel 'Home' when I watch it. I have very little idea what kind effect it can create one someone who is not used to such places. Let's see ...
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 !

Snack time on the fence post ...
Shortly after I captured one of my squirrel buddies photo,
Mother Nature decided that we needed some early Spring rain.
Weather news predicts a very nasty 3 day storm event approaching with very heavy rain, very strong wind gusts and get this maybe wet SNOW.
Yup, the weather presenter was spot on!
Let's stay safe and hope we have no power outages.
Yellow-rumped warblers returned to Winneshiek County today. They aren't going to be too happy here tomorrow, sorry to say, for the rain and hail we're currently having is predicted to turn to heavy snow by then.

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!
This red admiral must have just come out of its chrysalis since it looks so nice and fresh. The forecast is not predicting any frost in the foreseeable future, so it could live for at least a couple more weeks.
Rain was predicted, but look what we got! A beautiful day to be out and about and it didn't rain until we were back home.
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 :-)

Winter is coming and Colorado has already had its first snow. 2020 was a very snowy winter, and right now forecasts are predicting above average snow for our area in Colorado. Good for skiing, but it can make it challenging for wildlife.

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!

Gazipasa
The unknown or predicted history of Gazipaşa goes deep within the historical perspective. In general, this historical adventure begins in the 2000s BC. The Luwians, a branch of the Hittites, lived in the region that the Hittites called the Kizzuvatna (Çukurova region) and Arzava (Antalya region) countries. Since Gazipaşa is in this region, it is highly probable that the historical journey of the district started with the Luwians - Hittites. As a matter of fact, the lion remains in the ruins around Karatepe (Sivaslı) confirm this information.
Another important milestone in Gazipaşa's historical journey is 628 BC. There are two cities in history with the name of Selinus. Selinus, which was founded as a city-state at this date by the Greek Cave-Hyblaia people in Sicily, and Selinus in the south of Anatolia. It is a port city established in the Cilicia Region and on both sides of the Hacımusa (Kestros) Stream. Its castle, on the other hand, is at the location of the current castle ruins and was an island at that time. From here, maritime trade was carried out with the trade centers of that day, especially Egypt.
The city, which passed from the Greek administration to Roman rule in 197 BC due to Antiochus, was built in AD. In the 1st century, the Roman King Trojan, who went on the eastern expedition of the Mediterranean coast, got sick and came to the port of Selinus and was the guest of a merchant's house. Hadrian, who would succeed him on the throne, came to Selinus and took the corpse to Rome, and had a tomb built in commemoration. For this reason, it is known that Selinus was called Traianapolis for a while, and in the Christian period, it was the Episcopal center affiliated to the Archbishopric of Seleukeia - Silifke. The period of the Roman Empire, which started in the 1st century BC, continued until the 6th century in Gazipaşa, which is within the Anatolian borders of this state.
M.S. Starting from the 6th century, the Southern Mediterranean was dominated by the Byzantine Empire, in the first half of the 12th century, it was attached to the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and in the period of the Turkification of Pamphylia together with Gazipaşa, Antalya and Alanya, Selinus became the ruler of the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat I in 1221. In the year 1225, Alanya was started to be known as Selinti because of the fact that the five big streams that originate from the Taurus Mountains and flow through the city center and mix into the sea from here until 1225 cause floods from time to time. However, the conquest of the Seljuks, except for Alanya, was short-lived and the Armenians, who took advantage of the defeat of Gıyaseddin II by the İlhanlılar in the Kösedağ War in 1243, recaptured this place and remained in their hands until the conquest of the Karamanoğlus in 1275. During the Mongolian invasion of Anatolia in the 1270s, Selinti was located within the borders of Konya and its affiliated regions of the Anatolian Seljuk State.
During the period of Anatolian principalities, Antalya and its surroundings remained in the Teke Principality since 1335, while Alanya, Selinti and the eastern and northern regions came under the rule of Karamanoğulları, whose center was Konya.
Gedik Ahmet Pasha, the Commander of the Naval Forces (Captain Derya) of Fatih Sultan Mehmet in the Ottoman Period, took Alanya in 1470 and Selinti, Anamur and Silifke regions in 1472 from the Karamanoğlu Principality and included them under Ottoman rule. Famous traveler Evliya Çelebi states on page 126 of his famous Travelogue, "In the 18th century, Selinti accident is a town within the borders of İçel (Mersin) with 26 villages connected to Silifke Sanjak and paying a tax of 80 coins annually. It is surrounded by well-kept mosques and houses by the sea. It has lush green mountains. It has a pier 70 miles from Cyprus."

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.

Blue creek point, Eufaula lake. Pittsburg County, Oklahoma.... Must be the calm before the storm, the wind stopped blowing yesterday evening and allowed me the opportunity to catch these reflections. The weatherman is predicting heavy snow and ice, unusual around here. Hate to post and run..... but, got to go to work. Have a great week!!!
This probably will be the last wintry shot I post this season. Spring is just a few short days away, if snow is not predicted in the first week of March for my area then it more than likely means it is over. I know may get that late wet snow right at spring but just dont feel it coming this year.
Storm was not as bad as predicted! Electric stayed on - so we had plenty of heat! But beloved Internet off! :((
Very cold - colder still tonight! I was in Georgia most of the today! Don't know if I will have the internet later tonight or tomorrow. I need to get some sleep! As soon as possible I will check on you all! (or ya'all) wink wink
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.
The weather people are predicting possible snow later this week, winter just seems to hang on but no complaints here
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.
Tijdens de krokusvakantie 2022 verbleef ik een week aan de zee, meer bepaald in Koksijde.
Wat ik al een paar jaren op de planning had, probeerde ik deze keer om te zetten, zeker toen ik de weersverwachtingen te zien kreeg die elke dag uiterst zonnig weer aangaven. In realiteit was er wel een kleine dip op dinsdag en woensdag (vooral dan in de Westhoek) maar op vrijdagmorgen 4 maart 2022 was er geen wolkje aan de lucht. Ideaal om vanaf zonsopgang plaats te nemen aan de inrit van de bundel Ramskapelle in de Zeebrugse haven.
Ik wist dat er die ochtend een paar treinen gepland waren (bedankt tipgevers!) en had een drietal plekken virtueel genoteerd waar ik deze wou vastleggen.
Na een twintigtal minuten wachten, kreeg ik een berichtje om te zeggen dat de HSL PB06 in Brugge zat, maar dat eerst nog de 186 240 van DB zou binnenkomen. Dat was al een goed begin.
Twee minuten nadien ging inderdaad het sein open en zag ik de witte - van Akiem geleaste Traxx - met de zogenaamde JLR trein opdagen. Aan een slakkegangetje kwam de trein aan mijn standpunt voorbij. Een fraai begin van de dag!

As the weather forecast predicted bright and sunny weather for the so called Carnival Holidays in the first week of march 2022 and as I was to spent that week with my family at the Belgian coast, it was soon clear for me that I would finally make an attempt to catch some freight trains at the harbour of Zeebrugge.
For trains leaving the port via the sidings of Zwankendamme and Pelikaan the sun would stand correct during the first hours of the day, moreover in the neighboorhoud of the sidings of Ramskapelle there would also be a possibility to make decent photos of trains arriving at destination.
I gahtered some information, and it was soon clear that a couple of trains were due to arrive between 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the loop op Ramskapelle.
First of them was this so called JLR train (Jaguar and Land Rover), pulled by Traxx 186 240 of DB Cargo. A nice start of the day!

This is not a perfect photo, but the red fog, especially against the American flags, seemed ominous. I was walking down W. 33rd Street, between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, to Penn Station, and had passed the Empire State Building, which was almost totally obscured by the fog, on the previous block. I'd love to take this again, with more care, but one cannot predict the weather, especially fog. -- NYC -- January 21, 2017
with a predicted 18 to 24 inches of snow hitting this week in North Dakota, it's nice to see some positive signs of spring...these flowers will get buried, but will survive, with the extra moisture, hopefully they will really take off and bloom more.
As predicted a CME (coronal mass ejection) sparked a strong G3 class geomagnetic storm yesterday. Thankfully it cleared after midnight and I was able to witness some very colourful displays, even seeing red rather than just what the camera picked up. The storm is ongoing with another possible impact to come. From Space Weather:
"The lights spread across multiple US states including Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and North Dakota. At maximum, the lights descended as far south as Colorado."
They predicted wet and heavy snow from Winter Storm Riley. I think they nailed that one. The ground was bare and waterlogged when it started last night, and the temperature has remained above freezing, yet the snow has become quite deep by mid-day and is still coming down strong. I just saw a line snap outside my window, and there are broken branches in the back yard. It all looks quite beautiful though, with the big flakes coming down.
(update: This tree returned to it's upright position as the snow melted quickly, but another storm is rolling in already, Nor'Easter Quinn)
Weather app predicted 💯 low cloud cover - so I drove to my favorite woodland and was greeted by constant rain, zero wind and zero mist. Which seems to happen everytime I'm up that way. So I continued on and found paths that I hadn't walked before which for woodland I've walked through many mnay times was awesome. Most paths are either dog runs cyclists, or footpaths. But they sometimes throw up magical tree shapes, if upur really lucky 100 year old beech trees which survived the 1985 hurricane 🌀 which are now showing signs of age and fungal infections. They aren't long for the Tree world. So I've been photographing some of them recently they are so huge its hard to fit them in a frame. You can see the one of them in the previous photo I posted.

Sunday storm prediction for the lakeshore,
WHERE...Mason, Oceana, Muskegon, Ottawa, Allegan and Van Buren counties.
WHEN...From 1 AM Sunday to 1 AM EST Monday.
IMPACTS...Significant erosion of beaches and dunes, inundation of low-lying areas along the lakeshore and in river mouths, and road closures are possible.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong fall storm system will move through the Great Lakes tonight and Sunday. Winds will increase substantially out of the west on Sunday bringing a rise in water levels as well as producing large battering waves. Wave heights will likely reach the 12 to 16 foot range on Sunday. Peak wind gusts will top out in the 50 to 60 mph range.
This shot of the Grand Haven lighthouse was taken October 22 of 2019. I do not think the light will be this good on Sunday as they are also predicting rain al day long. So probably not much sun light at all.
If this looks promising I might head out that way, we will see.
The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.
As predicted , we were greeted on our arrival in Te Anau, New Zealand, with very heavy rain and it hasn't stopped raining since. We had an early cruise at Milford Sound booked this morning. We were about 3/4 of the way there when we were turned back due to a landslide!
The upside of all the rain is the beautiful waterfalls it creates that cascade down the sides of the mountains.
