Happy Rainy Days! Umbrella Pictures

heavy rainfall was our companion on the third day of our recent second stay on the Lofoten islands. I loved it for it showed a completely different scenario, which I found nothing short of mystery and enchantment.

The rainfalls of the last few days brought me fog at the beginning of October 2020 and a nice morning mood for a short time.
Wish you all a nice autumn weekend!
Die Regenfälle der letzten Tage bescherte mir zu Beginn des Oktober 2020 Nebel und dazu für kurze Zeit eine schöne Morgenstimmung.
Wünsche euch allen ein schönes Herbstwochenende!
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

One of numerous waterfalls on the road to Milford Sound, South Island, New Zealand. This is easily the wettest region of New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world (on average 6.4 metres or 21 feet rainfall per year).
The shit I do for a picture....
Well since I'm soaking wet, I'd like to say that I've been pretty inactive and haven't had any Lego motivation at all. I've been focusing on other things. I'll try to post a scene tomorrow for D-Day but I probably won't post much, maybe once a week? Idk

After years of suffering, finally the ghost/temporary lake of Cerknica (it is a karstic lake as better specified in many photos of the past) returns to cover, over the long term, a vast surface of its large basin, which measures 40km2 and can be covered with water almost totally, something that hasn't happened since March 2018, roughly.
In these cases it becomes, by far, the largest lake in Slovenija (up to almost 4x Lake Bohinj), although with a low average depth, mainly between 0.5 and 2m, facilitating rich vegetation and aquatic fauna composed of still water fish (the biggest are Carp, Chub, Tench and Pike) and a large variety of amphibians.
The lake is also rich in poultry fauna, in particular storks and gray herons, and many migrant species.
Unfortunately in 2022, for the first time in its history (those who follow my photostream probably remember it, with "my area" shots inserted in strictly chronological order), the drying up of all the not embanked large part (the embanked part represents just 0.1% of the entire lake basin and was in any case reduced by 90%), caused an incalculable death of fish, while a significant part of amphibians survived by digging deep burrows in the mud.
This is just to say that you can't have "the wine bottle full and be drunk", as people would like expecting to be in the shade of lush vegetation wanting sun for 365 days a year.
It is ONLY thanks to my beloved "bad weather" that a healthy and flourishing nature can be appreciated.

Information about the by-pass a few years ago.
The bypass will cross the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland narrow guage railway twice but officials are confident the work will have little impact on their business.
Anyone who objects to the route has until July 4 to lodge their objection and reasons.
Coun Selwyn Griffiths, who represents the Porthmadog West ward on Gwynedd Council, said: “This is good news for Porthmadog and I hope there will be no delays to enable the scheme to be completed as soon as possible.
“Porthmadog clearly suffers from increasing traffic congestion.
“Since the Cob was widened Porthmadog has become busy with traffic year-round. Reducing through traffic can only benefit the town.”
Porthmadog East ward councillor Ieuan Roberts said he is looking forward to the bypass being completed.
“It will be of great benefit to the town. The congestion of today will become a thing of the past and people will be able to come into town, park and shop much more easily.”
Businessman Louis Naudi of the Royal Sportsman Hotel, Porthmadog said: “I think anything which helps to alleviate the terrible traffic is to be welcomed but we will still have people coming in from the Cob. It is still very busy.
North Bend, Washington
After an unprecedented series of atmospheric rivers brought record rainfall to the Pacific Northwest and washed away much of the mountain snowpack, winter has finally begun anew with a weekend snowstorm. So when the skies cleared on Sunday morning I was unable to resist the lure of fresh snow and headed up to the mountains for a hike.
As I arrived at the ice and slush covered trailhead, I was greeted by some rays of sunshine that made me optimistic about the potential for great views at the top of the hike. The trail itself is mostly forested, with a series of rock ledges in the top section providing the views. As I climbed through the forest, I could glimpse fog rolling in, with occasional sunshine filtering through the trees. And when I stepped out of the forest into the open area of the first ledge, it was entirely fogged in and the mountains were hidden from view.
The fog stayed with me as a moody companion while I hiked up to the next few ledges, but watching it drift and swirl around the mountains and through the valleys, occasionally illuminated by the sun, made for a wonderful atmosphere, especially in concert with the snow.
And then as I hiked down, I emerged from a forested section to an open area of trail to find blue sky and brilliant sunshine. The snow sparkled on the evergreen trees, and mountains that had been invisible on the hike up were now on full display; the entire scene had been completely transformed in less than an hour.

Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m tall. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are about 300 species and around 3,000 hybrids. Their flowers are usually large and conspicuous, one to 12 cm in diameter, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias. The colors of the flowers vary from white through pink colours to red. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. 23858
As the heavens prepare for an imminent downpour, nature paints a breathtaking scene in the mountains of Tuscany.
Italy experiences a period of intense rainfall as dark clouds dominate the sky. The relentless downpour transforms the landscape, turning streets into temporary rivers and fields into saturated patches of earth. People navigate through the rain, seeking shelter and utilizing umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry. The heavy rainfall showcases the power and unpredictability of nature, reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of natural forces.
Went out for a two hour ride to get this shot of the New York City Skyline. This is the first photo I took of a series of photos. Testing three different lenses. This was shot with the A7Riii paired with the Sony SEL35F28Z. Shot at F/2.8 1/1250 ISO 100.

After all the rainfall we've had over the last few weeks, I have enjoyed a stunning sunset. The water on the lake was really high.
Heavy rainfall required terraces and stone chips to drain rain water and prevent mudslides, landslides, erosion, and flooding. Terraces were layered with stone chips, sand, dirt, and topsoil, to absorb water and prevent it from running down the mountain. Similar layering protected the large city center from flooding. Multiple canals and reserves throughout the city provided water that could be supplied to the terraces for irrigation and to prevent erosion and flooding.
Rainfall creates circles in the placid Kanawha River as NS train U91 heads to Elmore at Deepwater, WVa.
This is a view of walking in the estuary.
You can walk on a rugged path or walk over the grass verges.
The soil will of come away due to the heavy rainfall and tides every day.
If you want to walk over to Portmeirion you can, but have to go up and down these banks either
In the mud or water!!!
More fields in the estuary waterlogged.
Beautiful blue skies and reflections.
Lots of sheep today grazing on the waterlogged fields.
[ Portmeirion in the distance ] A nice fresh day for being in the fresh clean air of Snowdona.

This sunset just briefly lit up the underside of a storm cloud that was just beginning to unload a heavy rainfall creating this amazing little scene in the sky.
Winnebago River - Iowa
Scattered clouds moving off after a good one inch rainfall this morning. The river has been quite low, so this will really help bring it up to hopefully a more normal depth.
It's tough canoeing on the river when your stuck in the bottom mud! :(
