Cloud Atlas

My best shot of Saturday's #eclipse. From here onwards the clouds rolled in even more and took away my view completely.
<sigh>

This was at 10:15am as the obscuration was beginning, so the moon is only a small curve on the right.

@photography

A photo of the sun in a strong orange colour. The face of the sun is almost completely covered in cloud, but a small curved bite has been taken from the right side. This is the encroachment of the moon at the start of the eclipse.

Cloud Cloak

A dull and damp day, and the hills are wrapped in clinging cloud. This outwash plain is rarely dry but recent rains have left a legacy of full rivers and rushing waterfalls.

August, Fremstibotn in Suðursveit¹, south-eastern #Iceland.

@photography

A colour photo of a water-logged landscape with a range of hills and mountains under a cloudy sky. Some small patches of clear sky are visible but the cloud has reached down almost to ground level. The foreground is a turquoise stream with many tributaries pouring into it. The ground surface is brown and dark grey soil, bare of any vegetation, cross-cut by rivulets. In the centre of the shot is a conical hill, almost completely draped in mist and fog, but with the tip showing through.

Snow, Mountain, Glacier

Snæfellsjökull, a 700,000-year-old glacier-capped stratovolcano in western #Iceland.

The most recent eruption occurred around 1,800 years ago, but the volcano is still considered active, with the potential for future eruptions.

Sadly, according to glaciologists, the glacier is predicted to disappear by 2100.

The name Snæfellsjökull¹ literally means "Snow mountain glacier"

@photography

A photo of a mountain, almost in monochrome. It's dark flanks are striped with snow and ice, and a heavy cloud layer above is extending down the slopes as fog and mist. The summit is barely visible. The result is a moody shot, with only the outlines of the volcano really discernible.

"A little gale will soon disperse that cloud
And blow it to the source from whence it came:
The very beams will dry those vapours up,
For every cloud engenders not a storm."

Lentoid clouds at sunset, November, Eyjafjörður in eastern #Iceland

@photography

A colour photo of a late autumnal landscape, with flat brown fields in the foreground and some hills on the horizon. The sky is cloudy but the clouds themselves are rounded and layered in stacks. The setting sun, out of sight on the right of the photo, is colouring them with shades of yellow and orange, which makes them seem even more 3D.

The Endless Black Beach

What looks like one huge strand disappearing to the horizon is actually a sequence of four neighbouring beaches. In the hazy distance is Eyjafjallajökull volcano, there's a rainbow near the centre top of the photo as well as people standing on the clifftop at the right.

This shot was taken from Dyrhólæy¹ lighthouse in southern #Iceland.

A colour photo of a landscape under a cloudy sky. Cloud shadows are crossing the vegetation from left to right in several places. On the left is the sea, breaking white onto a long black beach. Just inland is a strip of scrub grass and moss extending into the distance. On the right is a nearby cliff-face of black rock with two people standing near to the edge and another nearer the right side. On the horizon are misty mountains and near the centre is an arc of rainbow.

White Water

Mid-March, and the flow of Seljalandsfoss¹ in southern #Iceland is quite low compared to summer.

The cold and snow have kept most tourists away, but not us, and we have the place almost to ourselves. That small figure on the right is me.Taking photos, as usual, and wearing about eight layers of clothing!

@photography

A colour photo of a steep cliff-face in shades of brown and dark grey. The foreground is a snowfield which continues towards the right, climbing the surface of a scree slope. At the foot of this is a solitary person, dressed in black, showing the scale. Every horizontal surface is covered in snow and ice, but there are also the white dots of nesting seabirds along narrow shelves. Left of centre is a beautiful horsetail waterfall, dropping the full height of the shot into a dark pool which creates a river running away to the left.

A slice of rainbow and some of the ice in #Iceland.

"To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess."

A colour photo of a landscape with a foreground of browned vegetation. The sky is cloudy but with patches of clear cyan and the light is from the left. A mountain range is on the horizon, partly obscured by mist and cloud but with a glacier dropping to ground level on the left. Centre right of the shot, where the mist is encroaching onto the foreground, a small arc of rainbow is standing.

Sunset Shadow

10pm in August, and the sun is almost set. The conical mountain peak reaching for the low overcast has obscured the reddening light, and striped the clouds' undersides.

@photography

A colour photo of a landscape dominated by the sky. The foreground is a harbour with many fishing vessels docked at the quayside, on the right is the port control tower. Behind a row of darkened buildings is the silhouette of a mountain range, one peak is distinctly pyramidal. The sky is heavily overcast with rippled clouds, and the sunset from behind the mountains is casting red light onto them apart from a triangular shadow, cast by the pointed peak.

July, and the afternoon sunshine highlights the greensward of the mountain flanks. Cloud shadows drift slowly across, exaggerating the rocky contours of the crags.

In the stillness, an eagle can be heard in the distance.

@photography

A colour photo of a mountain with a row of white-walled buildings at its base. The foreground is a grey tarmac road, bounded by green grass and tumbled boulders. The sky is cloudy but largely blue, and the sunlight is from behind the viewpoint. A tall mountain with an asymmetrical peak is in front of the viewer, mostly clad in green but with large areas of bare grey rock. The shadows of clouds are emphasising the rugged contours.

Peak Performance

A beautiful day in early November. The afternoon sun has struggled to light the snow-capped mountains and is now heading back down. There's a light breeze but hardly a sound.

@photography

A colour photo of a mountainous landscape covered in snow. The wind has scoured the ice from the exposed ridges and dark rock can be seen beneath. The weak sunlight is from the left and the sky holds heavy clouds but there are clear patches of cyan above a cloudbank. On the left is a dark mountain mostly in shadow but, on the right, two pointed peaks are jutting into the light which is picking up the contours of their left faces. A little spindrift snow is lifting from them.

Frozen Gold

Mid-March, Gullfoss, #Iceland.

The Hvítá¹ river flows south, but above the falls it turns to the west and down into a three-step "staircase".
Then, abruptly, it plunges in two stages (11m/36ft, and 21m/69ft) into a crevice 32m/105ft deep. The crevice is about 20m (66ft) wide and 2.5km (1.6mi) long.
The amount of water running down the waterfall is ≈ 80 m³ (2,800 ft³) per second in the winter.

¹ 𝙆𝙫𝙚𝙚-𝘵𝘢𝘸

@photography

Text in the body of this toot was derived from Wikipedia.org

Gullfoss means "Golden Falls".

A colour photo of a waterfall in winter. At the top of the shot, the approaching river can be seen flowing from the centre to the left. Further down on the left is a jumble of boulders and ice forming the first part of the waterfall. The water at the top of the falls is distinctly turquoise, becoming white as it aerates. From the centre near the top to the bottom on the right, the spray from the cascade has created an ice sculpture of many-layered icicles looking like teeth or organ pipes. All of this is capped with a significant amount of recent snow.

Good Morning

9:45am, mid-November.

The sun's first soft kiss colours the snow-clad mountains and brightens the night's cold clouds, clothing them in peach and pink.

@photography

A colour photo of a mountain range on the shore of a large body of dark turquoise water, which is only partly visible. The mountains on the water's edge are steep and sheer black rock. Further into the heights, the snow has blanketed the flanks, and the sunlight from the left is colouring the upper reaches with soft pastel pink and orange. The bank of cloud above the mountains is also brightened by the sunrise, and the clear sky is the pale cyan of pre-warmth dawn.

Fog and mist surround the mountain's base on a freezing February day.

Peeking out of the cloud is the peak of Vigga (1077 m/3533 ft) in Flateyjardalur, north-eastern #Iceland.

@photography

A colour photo of a mountain scene seen from below. The sky above is mostly clear but with wispy white cloud. The foreground is a range of hills covered in snow, with dark areas where the ice has been scoured away by the wind. Sunlight is from the right. A pointed mountain peak is central to the shot, but it's lower slopes are obscured by thick fog, thinning on the edges. This, too, is sunlit, showing its density.

2/2 Rainy weather

Die dunklen Wolken sind an #Fischerhude vorbei gezogen, die Wiesen leuchten jetzt satt grün im Sonnenschein. Und Lili hat sich dann doch noch auf ihren eigenen Pfoten fortbewegt.

iPone SE Snapshot Juni 2024

Dunkle Wolken am Himmel. Die Weide hinter dem Koppelzaun leuchtet - nach dem Regen - saftig grün im Sonnenlicht. Am Horizont trennt eine Reihe tief dunkel grüner Bäume das helle Weidengrün vom dunklen Grau der - im Himmel hängenden - Wolken.
Der nasse Feldweg auf dem wir stehen verläuft entlang der Pferdeweide und das Laub der Bäume im Vordergrund ist triefend nass ….. und tropfen Regenwasser ab

1/2 Rainy weather

#Lilliadventure says :
Rainy weather is OK. As long as I can sit in my buggy or beneath a tree. Only my human is too big to snuggle with me in the buggy. And most dry spots beneath bushes seem to be uncomfortable for her.

iPhone SE Snapshot April 2024

Dark clouds bring rain for the meadows and trees in this picture. The overall impression is dark. Only at the horizon is - like a promise - a spot of blue sky visible.
In the bottom right corner is a picture of Lilli in her buggy, watching the weather, beneath the rain cover of the buggy.

Enrobed

February 14th 2019, 2pm, and a visit to a waterfall becomes a mystery tour.

As we reached our destination, the fog was behind us and lifting slowly. The sun was beginning to burn away the remaining wet pockets, showing the silvery snow below.

Stóra-Sauðafell (412 m/1352 ft) in Kjósarskarð, western #Iceland.

@photography

A colour photo of flat land covered in ice and snow. On the horizon is a softly curved hillside, and the foreground is a road leading to an area with footprints close by. The foreground is blue with shadow. Above the hillside is a bank of fog, almost obscuring the sun with its density, and filling the sky apart from a small clear area in the top left. The lower slopes of the hill are clear of mist, but the top is still blurred by fog.

A colour photo of a mountain, surrounded by browned vegetation. There are dirt tracks through the grassland leading to the slopes. The sky is clear cyan apart from a low cloud bank beyond the mountain. Some spindrift snow has been kicked into the air above a peak behind the one in the centre. The foreground is a body of water, slightly ruffled by the breeze and reflected the scene above it. On the left is a large body of ice cascading down from height in the form of a glacier. The lower slopes of the central peak are a soft orange-brown, and the upper reaches are snow-clad.
