Hello! I hope everyone has had a good week – it is cold and wet here, very wintry. This image was taken late afternoon after a brief but intense thunder storm whilst we were staying at Johanna Beach near Cape Otway last month. The storms that came later that night were incredibly dramatic with lightening that lasted hours.
Wednesday was the 1st of June and the first official day of winter here in Australia. This last week has been cold – the day before saw dawn temperatures down to -4 C. I took this image just before work at first light, a beautiful sky and the promise of a cold but good day 🙂
Last Tuesday was a cold day full of quickly moving heavy rain bands – as I was leaving work there was a very heavy shower and the sun was low which resulted in a double rainbow. Regular readers will recognise this viewpoint from which I’ve taken many a sunrise 🙂
Autumn has been a bit odd this year – normally there are beautiful sunny days but this year has seen a lot of grey days and it is very dry. This image was taken last week, there was a frost and it turned out to be a beautiful day 🙂 This is a creek that runs into the dam and was taken literally as the sun was about to come up over the horizon.
This image is part of a series that I have been working on for a little while. Where I live we can get some amazing clouds, probably because it is often very windy and being in the country, very little haze from pollution.
Robyn from Captivate Me included me in the B&W Challenge where you post 5 consecutive B&W images and nominate a person to take up the challenge with each post, so this is my Day 1 of 5. In turn I am nominating Herman from Herman van Bon Photography. As Robyn has said, this is NOT a have to participate challenge but something that might be fun, but only if you have the time and inclination 🙂
Hello again everyone and hope that you are all well!! After an extended and unplanned absence from the blog I am finally posting my first image for 2015 🙂 Taken about 30 minutes after sunrise, the bubbles on the water surface are from a large flock of various water birds I disturbed (accidentally) as I came around the tree line.
Yesterday it was windy with heavy shower bands going through and I felt the urge to go to my ‘soothing ground’, about an hour north of where we live. Pyalong again…it is much, much drier, but I had seen on the radar that there big, fast moving rain storms going through. I captured this with the wind howling, in absolute spring sunshine watching the rain approach…now soothed 🙂 🙂
I took this image last Friday about 30 minutes after sunrise. The sky was amazing as there was a weather front coming through which produced these wonderful cloud formations 🙂
It’s early spring here in southern Oz and the weather can be very dramatic! I took this on my way home from work last Tuesday – 5 minutes before the thunder and hail was so bad we had to pull over due to no visibility and localised flash flooding…then I saw this scene 🙂 A little unnerving as new thunder cells to my left and behind me rumbling away, but in front of me this passing cell with HUGE boiling clouds – I felt very small 🙂
