tiabunna's photos with the keyword: cloud

These passing cumulonimbus clouds with the typical anvil shape were, from the weather radar, about 40 km distant from me. A short thunderstorm for some. Best viewed large.

A very pleasant late winter's day at Maloneys Beach, as a friend and I went for a walk in the National Park. This view looking across Batemans Bay. NOTE for my friends here on ipernity. Matters unrelated to photography (all good) are likely to require much of my time for a while, so I'm afraid my involvement here may be somewhat limited.

I was very impressed to see this great lunar halo last night, formed by a layer of icy high level cirrostratus cloud. On the left are Jupiter and Saturn, sitting just below Sagittarius (see PiPs). Best viewed large on black.

Not at all sure that I'd have wanted to be on this "Dash 8" aircraft heading for a landing through clouds alongside those very close mountains! No, this is not done with selective colour. :-) A musical link seems appropriate. Explored.

Looking at the night sky up past Orion (those of you in the Northern Hemisphere would recognise this inverted), as clouds began to roll in and call a halt to proceedings. Details in notes and best viewed large. I know Pam would be interested in this.

Nothing like a stroll on a jetty on a warm summer's day. HFF, everyone.

It was quite remarkable, far in the Laos highlands, to visit a hilltop restaurant - another image in a note. This was part of the scene from the viewing platform. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

On our travels - down on the east coast of Victoria. Best on black. Explored.

The walk to Mt Cook (Aoraki) passes this peak and stream. Explored.

Seeing a waterfall is great but, as with visiting cathedrals, eventually there's a point where enough becomes "enough". As the rain poured down and the number of waterfalls increased, I was very glad of my water resistant lens. View large and please excuse this musical link. Explored.

Who said waterfalls always point downward? :-) View large, also the note for context.

Looking back into Milford Sound, on a wet and windy day with the waterfalls very active.

Milford Sound on a rainy day - and suddenly, waterfalls began to cascade down vertical rock faces in all directions. Best viewed large.

Heading toward the Fox Glacier. To give some perspective, see the note showing the people. Best viewed large. For an amazing view of how it has retreated in just four years, see Francis Taylor's 2011 shot, taken from almost exactly the same position. Explored.

After a hot day, it's great when a cool change rolls in. Sometimes, as here, it is accompanied by a roll cloud. Best on black.

When I left Macquarie Island after a year, in December 1968, I would never have conceived that I would return as a tourist 37 years later (see Macquarie Island 1968: A new industry arrives... ). At left is the main body of the island. The station is situated below North Head, at the right of the connecting isthmus. Macquarie Island is famed for its poor weather: the low cloud is almost constant there, with rain on most days (we were fortunate in that regard).

From an old 1966 slide and originally on the 'other' site. Only now being added to groups. Looking west at sunset, the light had gone from the land, the sunset was yellow, but those rare nacreous clouds continued to shine brightly long after sunset - because of their height they were still in sunshine. The colours were beautiful, I wish I'd had a digital camera to make the most of them. Best on black.

Evening light over Tinderry Mountains, south of Canberra, Australia.
