Recently we have had much rainfall .... Promises of better weather ahead, i'm hopeful that my greenhouse preparations will take place very soon!
The unseasonably warm weather in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States in 2017 delayed the peak autumn color change. Despite this, I was able to document some of the change during a trip through Ricketts Glen State Park in rural Pennsylvania, this weekend. Before today this region has had very little rainfall, so the falls are not roaring at their full grandeur, but I was quite pleased with what I was able to capture.

Rainfall don't bother me at all,
you see the world reflected in the highway.
Come on rainbow, I can't let you go
before I reach the end of you someway.

Smoke on the horizon is from back burning. A method to reduce the amount combustible vegetation on the ground. View of Dales Gorge, Karijini National Park. Its climate can best be described as tropical semi-desert. A highly variable, mainly summer rainfall of 250–350 mm, often associated with thunderstorms and cyclones, is accompanied by temperatures frequently topping 40 degrees Celsius. The ideal times to visit the park are late autumn, winter and early spring. Winter days are warm and clear, but nights are cold and sometimes frosty.
Massive mountains and escarpments rise out of the flat valleys. The high plateau is dissected by breathtaking gorges, and stony, tree-lined watercourses wind their way over the dusty plain. Erosion has slowly carved this landscape out of rocks that are over 2,500 million years old. (information from Explore Parks W.A)

It really doesn't rain much in Death Valley.With an annual rainfall of 1.92" per year, it's one of the driest places in North America. Rain here is a rare event. I find it likely that the hills surrounding the valleys take most of the rain.
This is the legendary race track. Where in the past auto's had set time trials, and today where you'll find the sailing stones. These stones were a mystery for many years and someone just recently solved the riddle. You'll have to look into it yourself if you'd like the answer!
With rainfall in the recent past, Tuesday was really misty before sunrise. The light clouds moving through were a nice bonus.
Hope your week is going well so far!

You know how it is.... one moment you are standing in the bright sunlight and suddenly you turn around to see the sky filled with storm clouds and an approaching band of rain! Luckily I could dive back into the car! The shower was over in a very short time leaving that fresh newly washed fragrance that [https://www.flickr.com/photos/jkortla1] comments on.

Just beginning to ask the question... when will it all end? *sigh*
Stay safe everyone!

Rainfall has also been significantly lower than the average for the time of year and exceptionally low tides - not helped by this week's 'Super Blue Blood Moon' - are thought to have contributed to the lack of water in the area. It's not the first time the canals have run dry, though.
Unusually low tides in 2015 and 2016 meant Venice experienced some of its lowest water levels since records began, exposing large patches of mud and silt around the city.
"In winter low tides are common," a city council tidal officer explained to a local newspaper in December 2015. "But these levels are way below normal: it's a small record."

According to local experts, heavy investment in flood-barrier projects has resulted in a lack of money to support the removal of mud and sediment from the canals, a report by The Independent noted.
Along with the lack of waterways maintenance, residents in the city have also expressed their concerns over the high numbers of tourists who flock to Venice daily. An estimated 30 million visit every year, while the historic town itself has only around 55,000 inhabitants. In November, Italy's government decided to ban large cruise ships from the Grand Canal in a bid to limit tourists.
Record rainfall recently. In fact this is the 4th wettest year on record here. The first three were in the 1880's and I barely remember them.

Soft rainfall made its way through the canopy, catching leaves in splashes as it went before reaching the damp brown earth at my feet. Above, birdsong rang across the glade, while the River Pattack charged down through the gorge behind me, all brown swirls and rampant eddies. As I stood on the patch of raised ground, I saw a shot I thought might work. A pair of Spruce trees filled the window in front of me, standing out from the forest background like non-identical twins. No mist or fog about, but hopefully there was enough drizzle and grunge in the air to carve an image from.
This stretch of peaceful landscape had been something of an unexpected bonus as we began the first stage of our long journey back from Inverness. At the eastern end of the road lay the Cairngorm Mountains, which we’d passed earlier. Now we were gradually heading towards Ben Nevis and its friends, passing through pristine scenery. We’d crossed the Spey, premium single malt country, and now we were approaching the Pattack and the banks of Loch Laggan, at the other end of which the river curiously loses its identity and becomes the River Spean. We’d already pinpointed the forest on the map, quite casually before leaving Inverness, and decided it seemed as good a place as any to break for lunch. From here, another hour to our next base at Glencoe, although we both knew it would take longer than that with so many distractions lying in wait.
The main draw had been the waterfall I’d seen on Google Maps. It wasn’t one of the more famous ones in these islands, but cutting through a handsome slate grey gorge, it was worth taking a look, and there had already been a pleasing bonus in discovering that there was more than one location from which to capture all that water chasing along it. I thought I was done and ready to continue the journey through this gorgeous highland corridor when, as I began to wander back down the slope towards the van, the view of the spruces appeared before me. Perfect natural forest scenery without a plantation in sight. But could I get enough separation to show off the pair against the background?
It’s one of those images which barely made it off the bottom of the pile for quite a long time, because I was struggling with that precise element. Whatever I did, the trees either remained relatively indistinct from their surroundings, or attempts to work on them separately as objects proved to be rather fuzzy around the edges. More than once the entire process needed a fresh start as I wondered whether it was really worth it. Even if I did manage to resolve it, I wasn’t going to be winning any awards. Just a picture that would capture what I experienced on that damp afternoon in the forest. That was all I really wanted. I got to a point where I was reasonably satisfied with the result, but it wasn’t an image that I felt was going any further than my desktop.
Roll forward a few months and one Sunday morning as I looked at my YouTube feed, I found a video that had enough similarities to suggest a solution. A change of profile, some trial and error with the blue sliders and the improvement came relatively easily. Now the trees stood out cleanly from the greens around them. Some people can read the manuals on this stuff and understand it, but there are others like me who have to see it being done before the penny drops. And although I have started to lean more towards a few of the smaller YouTube channels and moved away from most of the big hitters, occasionally one of the latter throws out a golden nugget that can help unlock a problem, such as the woodland chaos around me here.
I’m glad I didn’t simply jettison the raw files in disgust. You never know when the answers that will solve a conundrum might appear. In this case it was just a few months later, but sometimes it can be years before you chance across something new and wonder whether it might be the answer to a shot you couldn’t get a tune out of at the time you took it. Fresh eyes on old images. Always worth keeping those problem pictures close at hand. Now, this one at last takes me back to the moment, and that’s all I was ever really hoping for.
