Friday Challenge: “turbulent”

Filed under: photographs,weather — Tags: , , — Towse @ 3:08 pm

The Friday photo challenge for the week is “turbulent.”

Cliff Way. Just south of Noyo Bay. Mendocino County. One of a handful of photos taken through the Mini’s windshield. Too wet and windy out to play with my camera outside.

Fort Bragg. January 2010.

Mendocino Coast. January 2010.

What does this photo show? Planes coming in for landing from the north, which means the wind’s from the south, which means the expected storm is starting to blow in.

I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.

I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.

After the storm

Filed under: photographs,weather — Tags: , , — Towse @ 8:32 am

Cold. Wet. Yes, please. Could we have some precipitation?

A friend up the hill reported snow falling. His nibs said hail was causing havoc — and slips — on the Steps as he came home from his stint at the Academy of Sciences.

I was (relatively) snug and warm inside today. Thick sweater. Warm wrap. Fuzzy slippers. (Thermostat set at 65dF as is our wont. …)

And then the storm cleared and I took pictures …

Here’s one:

Rain coming in soon. …

The wind is kicking in from the south. White caps on the Bay. Planes landing from the north at SFO.

Rain soon! (x’d fingers)

Update: Rain was fast and furious for a bit, but now the wind and the rain are barely there. x’d fingers for more wet.

Added: [desciption] TCHO as the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
(I also PhotoShop’d the picture to enhance the edges. So sue me.) Check the links below.

Deluge this afternoon. Havoc reigned.

Fog bank. Fog bank. Storm clouds. Sun.

Filed under: photographs,weather — Tags: , , — Towse @ 12:16 am

Some people collect cats. I collect clouds.

A series of pictures (untweaked in the slightest) of the fog banks out the window 2 1/2 hrs ago. The clouds have since changed shape and dissipated some. The sun has been shining here throughout.

TWO banks of fog with a topper of storm clouds in the east, toward Berkeley.

Weird.
