Happy Rainy Days! Umbrella Pictures
View allAll Photos Tagged rainfall
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.
A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
the sunshine is back on the islands, from the rocks, a couple looks at the clouds that drift away to the sea.../När regnet upphör, solen tittar fram över öarna, på klipporna står ett par och betraktar molnfronten som drar bort över havet... till höger, längre bort, ses Svartklubbens fyr/El final de la lluvia...asoma el sol, desde las rocas, una pareja observa las nubes que se alejan hacia el mar...(DSC_4334-2)
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).
While driving out of the Kaeng Krachan National Park I encountered a troupe of stump-tailed macaques alongside of the road. I quickly exited the vehicle and took this picture of the alpha male. Before I could reduce my focal length he had quickly slipped into the jungle.
Wikipedia: The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. In India, it occurs south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country.
This Old World monkey travels quadrupedally, usually on the ground, as it is not very agile in trees. It is generally found in evergreen tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, at different elevations depending on the amount of rainfall in the area.
Conservations status: Vulnerable
Colourful Little Bee-eaters are residents in much of Sub-Saharan Africa. Migration is limited to seasonal movements depending on rainfall patterns. This bird was seen in a garden at Tanji Beach, near Banjul, in The Gambia.
The forecast is rainfall for Wednesday 28th :-)

Thank you for looking.
The Great Dividing Rangei is Australia's most substantial mountain range and the fifth longest land-based range in the world. It stretches more than 3,500 kilometres (2,175 mi) from the northeastern tip of Queensland, running the entire length of the eastern coastline through New South Wales and then Victoria. Its mountains are small compared to those in many other parts of the world.
This was taken from the air in the early morning near Paluma about 80 km northwest of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It is on the eastern edge of the Great Dividing range which receives high rainfall. The vegetation here consists of rainforest and tall Eucalypt forests. The sky is hazy from smoke.
The rock type is granite. The area is quite rugged with deep gorges.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the faves and kind comments very much.
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
The dunes of Julianadorp on a rare cloudy day. The area is suffering from a lack of substantial rainfalls for a couple of weeks. Green is rare, brown is the dominant colours. Julianadorp, Noord Holland, The Netherlands
New today:
This image is published today in the French newspaper "20 minutes" n°3301 of 14 June 2018.
New this week:
Publication in the French magazine "Nat'Images" n° 50 of my photo Kiss me.
Two photos, this one (under the storm) and my previous one a few days ago with a very different framing, you will tell me your favorite. Impressive storms this month in France.

Deux photos, celle-ci (sous l'orage) ainsi que ma précédente il y a quelques jours avec un cadrage très différent, vous me direz votre préférée. Orages impressionnants ce mois-ci en Charente comme un peu partout en France.
Thank you so much for your kind words, faves and invitations to groups! I really appreciate each of them !!!

Gouthwaite Reservoir is the lower of the three reservoirs in Upper Nidderdale, England, the others being Angram Reservoir and Scar House Reservoir.
The reservoir was constructed between 1893 and 1901 and the Elizabethan manor house of Gouthwaite White Hall was submerged beneath the reservoir
Gouthwaite's sole purpose is a compensation reservoir for the River Nidd, i.e. it maintains the downstream flow of the river during periods of high and low rainfall. Gouthwaite Reservoir is a nature reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
The path I'm stood on is part of the 50 mile Nidderdale Way circular path and this section runs between Wath and Ramsgill
These fields are water logged after the rainfall over the last few days.
Another view of the by-pass Porthmadog with no traffic at all.
January 2023
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.
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.

The Cape Reykjanes, at the south of the beautiful Reykjanestá Peninsula. Colors came back at the end of the day after a tough rainfall and it was amazingly windy. I really love this place.
Some heavy rain against a backdrop of distant trees - with a little added saturation ; )
Happy Slider Sunday!
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.
"January is the quietest month in the garden. ... But just because it looks quiet doesn't mean that nothing is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come."

The Margaretenschlucht is a popular destination in the Odenwald. On the steep slope towards the Neckar, a unique canyon and a canyon forest has arisen, which was placed under nature protection as early as 1940. A narrow path leads through the gorge, some of which is secured with ropes and railings. Especially after heavy or long-lasting rainfalls, you rarely arrive at the top with dry shoes. Just beautiful!

Gordonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, related to Franklinia, Camellia and Stewartia. Of the roughly 40 species, all but two are native to southeast Asia in southern China, Taiwan and Indochina. They are evergreen trees, growing to 10–20 m tall. The bark is thick and deeply fissured. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, thick, leathery, glossy, and 6–18 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 4–15 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The species are adapted to acidic soils, and do not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. They also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought. 35191
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.
Talsarnau or Talsamau is a village and community in the Ardudwy area of Gwynedd in Wales. Its population was 525 in 2001, and had increased to 550 at the 2011 Census. The village of Talsarnau is situated on the A496 coastal road between Maentwrog and Harlech, close to the hamlets of Eisingrug and Llandecwyn.
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!!!
