As predicted, the snow enforced a walk to work today although I did manage to hop on a bus about half way there. I didn't mind though as I got the opportunity to take a few photos en route.
*I've swapped the photo I originally submitted to the pool as it was a bit blurry!
The wait continues.... and, its going to get much, much colder tomorrow... BTW, what did the groundhog predict?
I had this place in mind, and I wanted one of my kids to pose for me in one of those swings at the far end, but it was a bit chilly plus both kids have a nasty cold.. didn't want to torture them any more..!!!!
Thanks for your visit and comments, they're truly appreciated.
Over Lake Emerald, in Oakland Park, Florida -US- near Fort Lauderdale
It drizzled rain ALL day long until about an hour before I took this shot.
Maybe tomorrow will be better, as far as rain, but still predicted at 50%.
Shot from my balcony over the lake, 7:39pm EDT-US, Tuesday, September 5, 2006.

This was taken in March 2013. Might be worth nipping up to this spot after work tomorrow, so glad I finish at 3pm :-)
This is one of my very close friends. his name I Dan.
Here he is predicting a Vancouver Canucks win while we were watching the game last night.
I tried to be a bit creative with the pop up flash. It made the ball look cool.
This is a favorite spot of mine near Cle Elum. I was chasing the northern lights that were predicted to reach down into Washington state, but yet again, they were a no show. So I played around with the stars . This is a blended image of about 250 shots, 25 seconds each. September 2015.
Experts make different forecasts: someone predicts a tough scenario, and someone is sure that the economy will not suffer much. Personally, I believe that any crises open up new opportunities, motivate, reveal our strengths and weaknesses, which should be worked on. Crises come and go, recession is replaced by growth. It has always been so. All that remains is not to panic, adapt and move forward.

And what do you think about this? Should we wait for an economic crisis or not? What does it depend on? Share 🙏 in the comments.

They are predicting rain overnight and into tomorrow. We had been cool all day until the wind shifted. That brought in humidity and the cloud bank you see here started to form. We will most likely get a thunder shower overnight. They are not calling for severe weather.
This is what happens during the autumn months. We will keep getting changes in wind direction. From the northeast, it will be cool, from the southwest it will bring in warmer moist air and when they meet, depending on conditions, all heck can break lose. it can be anything from constant rain and windy to tornadoes and gale force winds.

Headed out to the city this morning with my good mate Ray for sunrise and the conditions weren't favourable so a quick drive over to Vaucluse to shoot this amazing Lighthouse. Weather predicted today in Sydney over 30 - Have a nice day.
Snow begins to drift when wind speeds exceed a threshold velocity of 5 meters per second. Of course, the quality of the snow already on the ground has much to do with this too, and its physical composition changes with the drifting process. The mechanisms involved can be difficult to predict. Extensive research and complex equations have been created in efforts to make those predictions.
Likewise, the reasons for which the majestic snowy owl seem to drift southward in unpredictable irruptions every few years are just as uncertain. The reproduction and survival of these exalted raptors of the north seem to be intimately tied to those of a rodent, the lemming. So population growth of the birds and the lemmings are at least part of the reason that some of these birds have traveled as far south as Bermuda. Each year, it seems, at least a few birds manage to make it to our region. I hope we will have ample opportunity to see them again this year. #SnowyOwl
It predicted many indivdual design features of Fords over the following three years. While it was a 'pushmobile', the press releases stated that it was planned around a gas turbine engine.

The weather forecast predicted some NLC display so I headed out to see it. While quite nice the were visible just barely above the horizon. I was hoping for more clouds like this around the sky this setting allowed to see the milky way at the same time as the NLC - pretty cool :)
Anyway the sky was pretty bright, I had to choose ISO 1600 and even stopped down to f/2.8 to not overexpose the highlights (NLC). This lead to a generally low visibility of the night sky.
NLC happen mostly in summer and when viewed to the north. They are located in the Mesopause, about 90-100km above earth (imagine this, there are clouds in 'space'). Also I have never seen such pattern of clouds (apart from the forum post the other day). These clouds are the highest clouds by a big margin (nex would be 60km lower or so!)
Another trip out and despite the promising forecast by SkippySky (which was predicting mainly high clouds) it was another grey and dreary morning on Saturday when I headed to Millendreath, hence why I’ve ended up with a moody monochrome image. I love this rock and its triangular shape which more than makes up for the lack of colour.

The predicted actions of leaders
Who fall into helplessness
Who becomes passive, indecisive, and depressed
What to do when we are faced by failure
From childhood to adulthood
The accumulation of negative experience
From one season to the next
Sensing loss of influence
And the failure of accomplishment
Then emphasizing caution and risk aversion
By weighing loss
And not promoting gain
How to then
Regain pervasiveness
Take positive action
And aggressively take risks

Top temperature predicted this week by the kind folks at the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM or as we used to call it, the Weather Bureau - why a Bureau though?) is a humid 35C. Sounds like no-one has told them it's now Autumn! Putting that aside, we were down the back alleys of Fortitude Valley in Brisbane and I noted these old commercial buildings (read shops and maybe Bubbles Bath House - whatever that could be!!!!) with four old brick chimneys. Well, they are old and back then of course before Global Warming it seemed to get colder for sure in winter. Chimneys are not rare in Brisbane at all on older buildings but I do wonder even then how many times they were lit up.
Thanks to everyone for your kind enquires about my hearts progress this last week, that support is greatly appreciated. After all the tests, they have confirmed that my heart has deteriorated in terms of its pumping capacity since my last echo sound three years back. Well, that's the heart failure for you I guess. It's kind of relentless. One happy note amongst a sea of bad (my blood pressure is also very low too which goes with the above)...when I started my cardio vascular journey as a 34 year old it was high enough 240/150 to blow my head off and get rushed immediately to hospital. My doctor at the time thought his blood pressure machine (it has a name but I can't spell it) was broken and took three readings on two machines. I have battled high BP since and it's an unpleasant change really to swim to the other end of the pool as low BP is harder to treat.
Anyway, the happy note was that I also had a four hour stress test on my heart, that test is a chemical one (walking on a treadmill uphill would kill me) so they do CT's before and after filling you with chemicals that mimic stressing your heart and radio active tracers that allow them to see your heart arteries and muscle - the upshot of which was 13 years after my quadruple by-pass, the arteries are at least still good, despite all those chocolates that our neighbour gave us at Christmas etc etc etc!
So now I am on new drugs for me and new drugs on the market that hopefully will strengthen my heart a bit without lowering my BP further. It's kind of a Catch 22 and complicated journey. I know that many of you have your own to make and of great challenge...getting old isn't all line dancing and orchid growing! Have a happy weekend everyone. And thanks again.
Predicted weather forecast for this morning sounded promising... so took the plunge, got up in the dark and drove an hour to this spot (Chalky Beach, NSW; Australia) eager for what might happen.
The image you see here was taken during a 10 minute splash of color!
I managed a couple of other keepers during this brief episode and will post them later..
Hope you like this one - thanks in advance for any comments, views or favorites - always very much appreciated!!!
Hope you have an awesome day and weekend!!
Given the predicted weather conditions it was with some trepidation that I ventured to Wellington to record the passage of 70000 Britannia on a loaded Crewe to Crewe test run! I was one of the few to venture onto the road bridge and suffered an awful downpour prior to the working. Had it been on time, the sun would have been missing! The crowds on the platforms were vying for positions. God knows how many elbows and heads were in their shots! C’est la vie’ !! 37688 was on the rear!
On the beach I started to walk towards Thornham Point but clouds to the west looked very dark & thundery showers had been predicted, so turned back & did not get as far as the Buntings. Just a few Sanderlings along the tide line, wish my legs could move as fast as theirs.

Some believe the Woolly Bear Caterpillar can predict whether or not we'll have a mild/severe Winter. The bigger the orange band the milder the winter. If it's true I think winter is going to be a little more severe, though they're predicting a milder winter for us up here in the Finger Lakes.
On Friday I dropped by a local park after work and spotted an immature Red-tailed Hawk sitting on a nest box on a pole and scanning the ground below for a potential prey. I took my position slightly below on a slope, away from it and waited. Then the bird dove down and I started tracking it. Soon it disappeared from view and I took my finger off the shutter.
Later when I looked at the photos on my computer I realized that I took seven extra frames after the bird disappeared from view. To illustrate the point I created this short video after stitching the frames together and introducing slight delay between frames. At 20 frames per second on Z9 that 7 frames amount to close to 300 ms - it took me that long to stop taking photos after the bird disappeared behind the slope. Some may call it reaction time. After the light hit the retina, it took about 30 ms to reach my brain which then took another 120ms to process before the command was sent to my finger to stop taking photos. But this also means we are always living in the past, I only 'saw' the bird disappearing 150 ms after it actually happened. Interesting dilemma.
So, how does a catcher catch a ball that is moving fast? By the time the catcher 'sees' the ball it has already gone past him in reality. A successful catch is still possible because brain extrapolates and predicts where the ball will be before eyes see it. Take a close look at the frames after the bird disappeared. One could see that I was still tracking downward (ground moved upward) because the brain predicted where the bird would be and my hands simply followed it. Fascinating, isn't it?
I also wondered if 300 ms reaction time in the field is good. So I took a test on my computer with color changing circle and my average reaction time came out to be 261 ms., a very respectable number compared to the average of 248 ms found in a group of 18-20 year old medical students. It's raining outside and I am stuck indoor, so I decided to write this up and created this benchmark to measure against as I grow old. And now go measure yours, see where you stand.
By the way, I could've set an alternate title as 'We are always living in the past'. I took the ideas from an article that I just read (theconversation.com/what-youre-seeing-right-now-is-the-pa...)
This night northern lights had been predicted so I decided to find a nice spot on the Reykjanes peninsula. However, the sky wasn't very cooperative, especially in the far distance, so I did stopped on my way over there near an abandoned house where it was less cloudy. In some way the outcome was really not so bad at all because the clouds, blue spots in the sky, green northern lights and orange reflection of the Reykjanesbæ city lights, all mixed up together in a multi-colour light show. FYI: The colours are natural...no HDR!

I was on a hike in the Alps with our dog Giorgio. The weather forecast predicted it would be a sunny day! But the God of the weather had other plans. His humor is more complex. It’s much funnier to have fog, followed by a pinch of strong wind and a few hours of snowstorm. I think it was an experiment to test how long it will take until I’m going crazy (lol), because suddenly all the three components were there! We were still high up on the mountain and had to hurry to reach our home. From a distance I saw a house like the one on my photo! Such houses are only used in summer for the cows. In winter they are empty!
Do you know those movies where a small group of teenagers find a small little house in a place in the wilderness only to die one after the other? Well, it was too late for us to descent the mountain, so we went to this little house to seek shelter from the storm.
And then we stood in front of the door. The house was made of wood and was very very old. The wind was getting stronger and stronger and the wooden beams rattled! Should we really enter this house? I heard the wind whispering to me: „Get in there my little boy, please go inside the house!“. The trees behind me began to bend over because the wind was getting stronger and the sky changed to a mystical dark. Oh boy, if a witch is in the house there, I will die :-)
I stood closer to the door and listened. What was in there? I heard something! I tried to open the door. Very good, it was open he he he! But honestly, I did not wanted to enter this place! And again I heard the wind that whispered to me with a raspy voice: „Come in my boy, here it is warm and beautiful, come in!“. I slowly opened the door and Giorgio began to growl. The door squeaked and in front of me I saw only darkness. And again that scary whisper: „Come in and bring me luck“ … for a felt eternity it was very quiet except for Giorgio who was still growling … and suddenly a raven flew over our heads into the open! Ahhhhhh … I swore vilely in six different languages! What a fright!!!! My heart has fallen down into my shoes, and since then I try to get it back again (lol). I think I am aged about 20 years ha ha ha!
Well, we were about 30 minutes in this cottage. And then after this time the sun came out! This day was one of the sunniest days of my vacation :-)
I want to thank all very much for your "views", "Comments" and "Favourites" :-) The only thing that matters is that you have joy in this photo. Again, thank you :-)

*** A Heads up for NEPEAN/HAWKESBURY river residents that the Dam is predicted to open during the early hours of tomorrow ***
At present, Warragamba Dam is expected to start spilling early on Thursday morning, with the event predicted to be less than the 2012 event. The dam last spilled in June 2013.
By Thursday evening, Penrith and North Richmond would be among the towns facing minor flooding.
The bureau, though, is reassessing its estimates after flood levels on the Jooriland River upstream of Lake Burragorang peaked higher than expected.

Strange things can happen during long exposures....like the sun coming out for precisely the right amount of time and in the right place...all carefully predicted and planned of course ;o)
The little bunch of oak leaves, caught between the stones, were what originally attracted me here.
A sunny early afternoon swim in a crystal-clear turquoise body of water.
Staring at my original photograph has triggered memories from the Minority Report film, with Tom Cruise. I think this is one of the best creations of Steven Spielberg and one of those movies I would definitely watch more than once.
The three young women holding hands in the water, making a star formation, resemble the Precogs (Precognitives) in the movie. Their powerful psychic abilities are key in predicting and projecting premeditated murders... but I'll let you watch the movie, if you haven't already.
I changed the water look, altered the daylight, added the rays, and gave the image more pop.
The weather forecast predicted rain, rain and more rain for the weekend, so when I noticed a brief break in the clouds early this morning, I grabbed my camera and drove off in search of a composition or two... I didn't find much...
I processed this in B&W just to be different... :)
