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.
As predicted it was cloudy... in fact it was "light fog". I gave up waiting (and hoping) and headed 40 miles east where I managed to find a small gap in the clouds to photograph the eclipse in a tiny village with a nice old church. This explains the crosses.
I took this with my 10 stop Lee Big Stopper filter as it seemed the best way to deal with some of the risks of looking at the sun. I also used the LCD display.

Stormy weather was predicted for this evening so I thought I would go for a drive and maybe shoot some stormy skies. I didn't leave soon enough because the storm started before I could get out of town or find a decent spot to pull over. I have never seen so much hail come down at once in my lifetime! The photos in the comments are what I could shoot out the car window when it started and then the hail in the street, after I was able to pull over and wait it out. This one was from my deck, about 2 hours after the first storm, and before the next one that's rumbling around out there right now really hits.

A Gallic druid predicted the meeting of Mona Lisa and Napoleon, 400 BC. This memorable meeting took place at Waterloo, in 1815 and so Napoleon received from Leonardo an object capable of dynamizing communications. I am not authorized to say that it was an Apple cell phone designed by Da Vinci and made in China. And also thee was a revolutionary copy of Charlie Hebdo newspaper of which Mona was editor since remote times. Buthow is contact between people from different eras possible? Well, Albert Einstein said that time and space are relative, but what really intrigues me is: why did Napoleon always keep his hand inside his coat ?
The weather was predicting clear skies in the morning, so my brother-in-law Bob and I headed up to Talkeetna to photograph the sunrise and see Denali, the highest mountain peak in North America. It sure was a good morning for it, with pink light hitting the mountain range and ice flowing down the Susitna River with mist rising from it. It was 6 degrees that morning, and my fingers hurt when they were thawing out, but it was worth it to see this sight. I could have raised the ISO to freeze the flowing ice's motion, but prefer the sense of movement. Talkeetna, Alaska, USA, November 2021

Perfect reflections on still water St. Lawrence River at Long Sault last night at 7:30 PM. Rain predicted by Sun Dog that I viewed on canoe one hour before this (posted yesterday).
As predicted the hole in the sky let the arctic sun come flooding in. The whole feel of Lilliehöökbreen changed from brooding, steel grey to pure light, whites and blues. I made the decision to remain on the Plancius for just this zodiac trip out to see the glacial front due to my travelling partner feeling unwell and because the views over the glacier and the fjord I predicted would be "Otherworldly" as the sun appeared, I was right! Arctic landscapes in the arctic sunshine.
.
Surprise!
The predicted snow actually happened!
There hasn't been significant accumulation thus far, nor is there likely to be.
The street was too warm to even get a dusting.
Of course northern New Mexico and the higher elevations are another story. By the time the snow stops tomorrow morning some places up north or at higher elevation could have up to a foot.
The main portion of this storm is heading into the mid-west and is described as a possible mega-storm.
During a blue sky afternoon I picked out a spot where the Milky Way would seem to arise from the San Rafael Swell at 1 AM. I returned with appropriate time to set up, but as I walked to the spot that I had scouted, I noticed clouds moving in from the south. Those clouds were not predicted and were not welcome.
Annoyed, I hurriedly took the 25 shots needed to put this photo together. Under clear skies I would have walked a half mile closer to the Swell so that its size would appear to rival the size of the Milky Way.
I will return next year. The clouds admittedly add some drama, but my plans required clarity.
The two bright objects to the left of the Milky Way are Saturn and Jupiter. The red object to the right of the Milky Way is Antares.
The nigh sky was 24 photos, 8 s each, rotated by StarryLandscapeStacker, then joined with a 225 s landscape shot illuminated by starlight.
Derwentwater, Keswick, Lake District
The drive up was as predicted by the weather forecast - grey, dull, with periodic showers en route, but once we reached the lakes the snow covered peaks did their best to convince us we hadn't chosen the wrong destination. It was still overcast, although the sun was doing its best to lighten the greys as we parked up at Keswick's Lakeside car park. However, first priority of the day, breakfast in town and although it was now 9:30am very few eateries were open but we found one - a local shop for local people! A compulsory Cumbrian breakfast was duly ordered and consumed forthwith.
Afterwards Mrs R decided to potter about the shops and market stalls so I headed back to the car for my gear. My initial jetty shots from the first hour were bland and have already been consigned to the archives. As I'd already seen plenty of images of the submerged gate at the north end I decided to head there, but with the sky being so featureless, it was time to dust off my filters and have another crack at a few long exposures.
Now I know some of you are experts at the "wing it" method of calculating exposures, but I thought I'd play it safe and use the app from a well known filter manufacturer. What a waste of time... literally! All of the app calculated images were underexposed and so on to Plan B... wing it, and I must say a lot more fun.
This just happens to be the last image at 2 mins (I was aiming for 4 and pushing the ETTR theory) before the sun finally broke through and began dispersing the blanket cloud, although that didn't really matter... it was the flock of Canadian geese that photo bombed the shore line and put paid to any more tranquil shots.
Snow is predicted tomorrow, will the plows be out?! Hah...not likely...so hedmre is another from the tops of 2018 folder and the one and only time I shot these moving.
The third Nor'Easter in a week dumped 18 inches of fresh snow on the Boston area during mid-March 2018. This misfortune for the citizens of the Commonwealth provided some good fortune to those of us of the rail persuasion in the form of a Keolis plow train operating on the MBTA northside routes.
A pair of rebuilt original ex Boston and Maine double track Russell snowplows dating from 1949 bracketing GMTX GP38-2 2636 (blt. Sep. 1970 as straight GP38 BO 4809) are on home rails as they work westbound on the former B&M Fitchburg Route mainline near MP 9.8 in this view looking west from the Jackson Street overpass. In this going away view the work train is crossing Elm Street and passing the historic Waltham Tower. The tower was built in 1928 and had call sign OD, and when retired 85 years later in June 2013 it was the last manned interlocking tower left in service on the MBTA system and in the state as a whole. The tower was also the location where the Watertown branch joined the mainline, once a through route from West Cambridge to here it was cut in the middle in 1960 and lasted decades longer as the Watertown Branch on the east end and the Bemis Branch on this end, though all of it is now removed.

John the Baptis - according to the Gospels: the closest predecessor of Jesus Christ, who predicted the coming of the Messiah, lived in the desert as an ascetic, preached and performed sacred ablutions (immersions) of the Jews for the cleansing of sins and repentance. These ablutions later became known as the sacrament of baptism. He washed (baptized) Jesus Christ in the waters of the Jordan River, performing a ritual immersion of Him in the waters of the Jordan River. John the Baptist was beheaded at the request of the Jewish queen Herodias, whose will was conveyed by her daughter Salome (Matthew 14:8, 9). John the Baptist is considered a historical figure and most researchers consider the mention of him in all known manuscripts of Josephus Flavius's "Jewish Antiquities" to be an authentic text, and not a later insertion by Christian copyists.
Іоан Предтеча, Іван Хреститель, Іоанн Предтеча, Іван Предтеча, Йоан Хреститель, Йоан Предтеча, Іоан Хреститель — пророк, мученик, після Діви Марії найбільший святий. Про пророка Господь Ісус Христос казав: «Серед народжених жонами не поставав (пророк) більший від Івана Хрестителя». Іван Хреститель прославляється Церквою, як «янгол, і апостол, і мученик, і пророк, і свічар, і друг Христів, і пророків печатка, і заступник старої та нової благодаті, і серед народжених пречесніший, і світлого Слова глас».
Пророк Іоан Хреститель був сином священика Захарії (з роду Аарона) і праведної Єлизавети (з роду царя Давида), родички Пресвятої Богородиці, коли вони були у похилому віці й вже не сподівалися на потомство. Він був посланий Богом, щоб приготувати вибраний народ до визнання Ісуса Христа Месією. Жили його батьки біля Хеврону (у Нагірній країні), на південь від Єрусалиму. Він був по материнській лінії родичем Господа Ісуса Христа і народився на шість місяців раніше Господа. Як оповідає Євангеліст Лука, архангел Гавриїл, з’явившись його батькові Захарії у храмі, сповістив про народження в нього сина. І от у благочестивого подружжя, до похилої старості позбавленого розради мати дітей, нарешті народжується син, якого вони випросили у молитвах.
За милістю Божою він уник смерті серед тисяч убитих немовлят у Віфлеємі і його околицях. Святий Іоан виріс у дикій пустелі, готуючи себе до великого служіння строгим життям — постом і молитвою. Він носив грубий одяг, підперезаний шкіряним поясом, і харчувався диким медом і акридами (рід сарани). Він залишався пустельником доти, поки Господь не призвав його в тридцятирічному віці до проповіді єврейському народові.
Іоанн Хреститель, Іоанн Предтеча - згідно з Євангеліями: найближчий попередник Ісуса Христа, що передбачив пришестя Месії, жив у пустелі аскетом, проповідував і чинив священні обмивання (занурення) іудеїв для очищення від гріхів і покаяння. Ці омивання згодом стали називатися таїнством хрещення. Він омив (хрестив) у водах річки Йордан Ісуса Христа, зробивши ритуальне занурення Його у води річки Йордан. Іоанн Хреститель був обезголовлений за бажанням іудейської цариці Іродіади, провідником волі якої стала її дочка Соломія (Мт. 14:8, 9). Іоанн Хреститель вважається історичною фігурою а згадка про нього у всіх відомих рукописах «Юдейських старожитностей» Йосипа Флавія більшість дослідників вважають автентичним текстом, а не пізнішою вставкою переписувачів-християн.
In anticipation of the cool front that was predicted for yesterday morning I made a trip out to Smith Point, a little peninsula that sticks out between Galveston Bay and Trinity Bay where the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory conducts three and a half months of raptor surveys each fall to monitor the migration of raptors as they travel south for the winter. At the peak of the migration it can be an unbelievable spectacle with tens of thousands of hawks in the sky above the “hawk tower.” It can be a little difficult to predict exactly when the big days will happen but if you are fortunate enough to hit the raptor jackpot, it will likely be something you will never forget.
Yesterday I didn’t hit the jackpot, but I was rewarded with some nice views of several raptor species. This young Sharp-shinned Hawk was one of several birds that made me glad I made the trip out. Even when the skies aren’t loaded with birds it is always fun to catch up with friends; the tower can definitely serve as a fun gathering place to geek out about birds.

A cold and foggy day in Boulder, with snow predicted tonight. Cleaning up the archives, this one set me longing for a warm, sunny day, wandering through a sandstone playground.
With bad weather predicted and rain in the offing, I thought the GoPro in its waterproof casing would be handy today. A few drops fell while we were out, when we got home it poured and will probably pour for the rest of the day.

Racoons love my upper deck and always look so put out when I shoo them off! I predict an early spring based on their behaviour this last week,lol.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
For the first time in seemingly weeks Friday was predicted to be perfect bluebird weather. Coupled with the news just released the day prior that the Pan Am Railways acquisition by CSXT had been approved I figured I should skip my beloved ex Boston and Albany for once and go to the old Boston and Maine before the changes come. While it won't happen overnight, it will be quicker than we expect before blue dip or ugly patched GEs are rare and intermodal trains on District 3 are but a memory.
With that in mind a look at the turnover revealed that a 22K was tied down at Fitchburg scheduled for an early recrew to bring into Ayer and that an EDPO was out of East Deerfield headed east and counterpart POED was moving with work at Graniteville before going west. Throw in regular AYPO building in Ayer and it was an unusual busy morning to the point that you actually had to make a choice what you wanted to focus on!
After getting some nice morning shots of tied down 22K and a few MBTA trains a friend in Ayer said POED was going west first before the two eastbound freights and he recommended this spot that I'd never shot at before. Here is a big POED manifest hustling west on Main 1 through the interlocking at CPF Derby (MP 42.8/322.8) behind three C40-8s. The spring buds are just beginning to offer some color to the scene as a harbinger for tbr vast changes this railroad will see in the ensuing months.

Yesterday Toronto had more restrictions imposed as we are battling the predicted third wave of the global pandemic. I went for a brief walk today to get some fresh air and exercise.
Happy Easter! Joyeuses Pâques! Thanks for visiting, stay safe. #BeKind
A new year means new light, new thoughts and new paths to the goal. I wish you a good start in 2025! The best way to predict the future is to shape it yourself.
. . . After predicting a terrible ice storm, I was glad that we only had a little ice this morning! The roads were fairly good, and the only really dangerous spots were the sidewalks. The Redbud tree took on a nice looking white color!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
The weather people predicted light breezes but found it a little difficult to stand still at times, set the camera up on a tripod and shielded it from the wind (breeze) and took several shots. Merged them in Photoshop and this is the result showing silky water and moving clouds, not what was hoped for but not as bad as it could be either, next time a longer lag between shots or, maybe I should find something useful to do on breezy days.
Rain is predicted today here in the Chattanooga area (where I'm visiting my dad) for the first time in over a month, so that seems like a good time to post a bright sunny spider. This girl was lucky I spotted her web stretched across 11 feet of space between my dad's yard and the neighbor's! But then, she had a hand in making it obvious with her decorative tufts, a few of which you can see here. I'm posting a couple web shots, too, to show her extensive construction.

I had the day off. The glorious clouds and predicted thunderstorms persuaded me to go out and explore new landscapes, in areas I don't normally venture into. I found this heavenly sight. A poet would say that the land is carpeted with different carpets. I'm more inclined to call it plaster on the wounds of climate change these days. Many beautiful areas have been scarred. Here, however, I was lucky, everything looks healthy. So I took my photos. A man next to me, wearing a reflective red - orange safety vest, eyed what I was doing. A long red hose, which made a deep dive into a sewer hole, covered with a net-like lattice and meandered through the grass outside on the meadow like a dangerous poisonous snake, admitted me assume that something is clogged. He advised me to hurry because a thunderstorm was imminent. I didn't answer because he obviously thought I was stupid. To be honest, I would have preferred a lady in red on one of the plaster, photographically speaking. You can not have everything. Right?
Indeed, the band of clouds turned deep dark over the land, appearing like a vast, menacing mothership from distant galaxies!
At home I made a 16:9 cut from that Moment in Time, which should give a panoramic feeling, but I'm happy with this.
I hope that tomorrow at the summer solstice (beginning of summer) you all have enough time to enjoy the long sunny day.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my photo! I appreciate it very much!

I'm predicting everyone's first thought on this image: "where's the monorail?" Obviously there isn't one because it was a test shot in preparation for when the monorail finally did pass by. I liked the image so much that I decided to keep it. I decreased the sharpness a bit to evoke a dreamy vibe.

... of colour! In our garden Spring is definitely springing. A profusion of colour all around ...
Apologies for absence of late - Flickr hit me with changing the mobile site - as I use that most of the time I was not best pleased with a new layout and navigation ... Soo still faffing around trying to get to grips with it - I am back on the Mac for ease of use at the moment ...
Will try and catch you all soon xx
19th February 2017:
As predicted the weather has turned, it started off nice enough earlier this morning and then clouded over. It also feels damp out and the light's gone completely, very grey.
So I had to find an inside photo, but Graham gave me the idea yesterday when he said he hadn't noticed the little plastic flower on my cardigan before. Just about managed to get a photo before Izzy tried to bomb another photo!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
The predicted amounts of snow no longer reached the Amper valley. There was certainly more further south towards the Alps. Now it's all snow again from yesterday and it's getting milder again.

Having experienced a high the previous night from extensive auroras we hoped for a repeat night. NOAA forecasted a dip in aurora activity during the day but predicted increased activity by nightfall. As the day rolled by so did the clouds in the south of Iceland by Jökulsárlón. Hoping to find some clear skies Aaron, Alan, Rebecca, and I headed east after sunset towards Vestrahorn, where clouds were forecasted to subside by the morning hours. On our way we ended up stopping at Höfn for a langoustine dinner. The grilled langoustine was delicious: tender, buttery, and sweet. It set the stage for a wondrous night.
Once we arrived at Vestrahorn the near full moon aided us in scouting out the location. While scouting we noticed some faint aurora low in the sky. Though weak it was still a pleasure to see and photograph but soon the incoming clouds spoiled the show. Hence we called it a night in our Happy Campers and waited it out for the morning hours.
Snoozing away, Aaron suddenly opened our van door and yelled for us to get up at 5am. The majority of the clouds had cleared and the aurora activity picked up to a KP4. From then on time flew by as we blasted away until after sunrise.
