Storm approach at Montrose

Bedrohlich sieht es aus, zum Glück, wenn das sichere Auto in der Nähe ist

It was for us. The hail came just as we opened the door. Each piece almost 1cm. Very happy you enjoyed this capture my friend. ~ Herb

Herrliche Unwetterfront!

I thought so too Cammino. ~ Herb

Sublime nature and terrific image, Herb.
All the best
Adele

Nice to see you again Adele. I do love nature when I can capture it like this. Fortunately I had my camera to hand as I was taking photos in the opposite direction.

Best Wishes, Herb

great shot, amazing clouds

Very happy that you liked this one Mario.

Thanks so much Nathalie. ~ Herb

Superbe prise de vue,un orage presque menaçant ++++++
Bonne semaine.

It threatened and then attacked but later it was clear again. Glad you liked it.

Have a great week yourself, Herb

What a contrast in moods. I know the feeling of being stalked by nature as well.

Nature can be so photogenic Steve. This put an end to our quick trip to Montrose but we returned the next day for more gems in brighter weather. ~ ~ Herb

You managed a great shot just before it hit. The bridge's pattern stands out as a border between the water and the storm.

Hi Sarah. Yes the storm was still some way off but was coming in quick. As can be seen on the water, the rain, hail and sleet had not reached us at that moment but we had to run away from it quickly for the shelter of our nearby car. I actually turned this way on hearing a train going over the viaduct and lifted my camera to catch half of that before constructing this nice view.

Cheers, Herb

Your story did me shiver Herb.... Wow!
Great picture.

Greetz, Christien.

Sorry to make you shiver my friend. The weather up here in Scotland can turn very quickly. Glad you liked this one.

Greetings, Herb

It's huge !!

It was my friend. ~ Herb

Well taken and you were very fortunate the car wasn't too far. The storm does make a great background though.

Thanks George, I had thought this photo a dud but it came up ok after a bit of jiggery-pokery :)

Glad you liked it. ~ Herb

Wow, and you had the time to take this before running to the car!!

Of course Daniela. On holidays, I always have my camera to hand -so a quick couple of snaps and then away.

Cheers, Herb

Great shot and with a marvellous description of the all weather is possible in one day climate. I once ended up in a snow storm in July at Linn of Dee ( you have probably been there while at Braemar). A week that was also memorable (while the sun was out) as the time I almost stepped on an Adder seeing it just in time to avoid it basking on a rock on well used path!

Thanks Colin. Glad you enjoyed this and it brought back memories too. Yes, we did go there and so some shots to come. Talk about Adders, whilst walking around Loch Kinord we spotted a sign warning us of Adders in the area that we had just walked through but we never saw a sign as we entered that area a few hundred yards beforehand. I was happily walking through the grass looking for the best viewpoints in blissful ignorance.
Cheers, Herb

Typical photographer..............grab the shot before running away..!!

This is an astonishing shot Herb.............perfectly composed, even under pressure. The dark threatening clouds obviously make the shot, but I also like the patterns in the water - where it looks like the tide was running fast too.

Oh, and lovely detail in the bridge too.

Yep, that is us down to a tee Keith. We dread water droplets landing on our camera's and lens. Very happy that you enjoyed this. The water does run fast, in and out from the sea channel to the big inland lake here.

Cheers, Herb

How good that you made it into the car - otherwise ...
a great shot with the approaching storm

We were very happy to get to a dry spot just in time. Glad you liked the shot.

Cheers, Herb
