My Kind of Weather by graemestevens

My Kind of Weather

Autumn and Winter - my two favourite seasons...let's face it, there's absolutely no drama in a clear blue sky and easily predictable weather.
Unless you are the kind of person who jumps from a perfectly good plane or lives next to an airshow. Blue Angels waking you up is drama for me.

This is dramatic, and powerful and very effective

Ah yes a sky full of ominous clouds, bring it on :)))
April 15th, 2015  
Nice capture, Graeme and POV. Love the moodiness with the clouds.

@pandorasecho Thanks very much - we used to live in Farnborough in the UK, home of the Farnborough airshow and the Red Arrows used to wake us up on a regular basis as they went over our house sideways...
April 15th, 2015  
@hermann It works for me as well :)
@susanalena Thank you very much - moodiness I can do ;)
April 15th, 2015  
Great dramatic sky and shot Graeme
April 15th, 2015  
But there can be drama in a summer thunder storm or in springs rainfalls. This pics is fantastic. All shades between white and black and a lot of contrast.
April 15th, 2015  
Yep, you're right. A bit of drama is usually more interesting..Wales is full of drama. You're lucky to have this as a view!

Really great on black too.

@graemestevens funny, I grew up next to an airport under a test pilot run, so the noise was something I was used to but the first time I briugh my husband to my parents house he woke up already jumping and running
April 15th, 2015  
Yes Autumn is a fav of mine but winter follows it..Spring would be no 2 on my list...
April 15th, 2015  
All sorts of clouds and winds were active yesterday! I can't see your house?
April 15th, 2015  
@jack4john Spring drives me up the wall, all that chirpy happiness ;)
@pandorasecho The first time our windows rattled in the night from an overhead jet I may have broken wind ;)
@overalvandaan Thanks very much - we did like Wales a lot on the few occasions that we visited :)
@holly1 Thanks very much - I still don't like summer...far to many fake tanned men in short shorts at the beach ;)
@tonygig Thanks very much indeed :)
April 15th, 2015  
@maggiemae Yes, you might need your binoculars ;)
April 15th, 2015  
I keep looking at this expecting a celestial messenger to come sliding down that shaft of light! Nice work young man.
April 15th, 2015  
@vignouse Thank you kindly, but the only messengers that I seem to get come up, not down ;)
April 16th, 2015  
Super shot !!
April 16th, 2015  
Very dramatic!I am with you on Autumn....but winter? Pfffft
April 16th, 2015  
I totally love this shot
April 16th, 2015  
I beg to differ about the drama of the other two but drama here indeedy
April 16th, 2015  
@annied Differ all you want, I hold to my statement and it's better than being caught agreeing!
@blueberry1222 Thank you very much :)
@mzzhope Thanks very much - I'm very definitely a winter person ;)
@joemuli Thanks very much indeed :)
April 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens yeh see - I was being careful ;-)
April 16th, 2015  
Fabulously gorgeous.
April 16th, 2015  
sun and rain! great capture
April 16th, 2015  
So dramatic -- love this in b&w
April 16th, 2015  
@annied Again, good lord.
@tabarlett Thanks very much :)
@brigette Thank you kindly :)
@taffy Thank you very much :)
April 16th, 2015  
I agree, give me some atmosphere and unique lighting
April 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens yeh I wasn't really - it just worked out that way
April 16th, 2015  
@trinda Absolutely, and thanks :)
@annied Thank god for that, if it was intentional I don't think I could cope
April 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens like I would be careful - actually like I would care hahahahaha
April 16th, 2015  
@annied That's the spirit!
April 16th, 2015  
Great shot - Autumn's the best as it's usually settled and calm.
April 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens spirit? RUM?
April 16th, 2015  
@dide Not here it isn't! We've had terrible weather for the last few weeks!
@annied Anything will do!
April 16th, 2015  
Can we agree then that summer is the pits, sunshine, happy half naked people, sipping tall drinks with clinking ice cubes, at least you have it over you for this year, I have the bloody thing around the corner...
April 16th, 2015  
super sky, great capture
April 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens count me in :-D
April 16th, 2015  
That weather looks and sounds like teenage children....
April 16th, 2015  
Sue
What is easily predictable about England weather? Oh wait...It will be cold..or wet.. Yeah, okay,, you win! :-)
April 16th, 2015  
Totally agree, great shot
April 16th, 2015  
I don't know, I seem to find drama in interminable sunny weather in SoCal.....mind you, it was a shock to my system when I moved here from NYC! I just choose to not go out in the daytime, not until the sun sets and mellows everything out...
April 16th, 2015  
That does not sound like New Plymouth.
April 16th, 2015  
@jack4john We can agree on that :)
@pinkpaintpot Thanks very much :)
@annied I had no doubt that you'd be there
@newbank That's probably the closest comparison...
@sioux LOL I remember English summers....24th of August isn't it?
@andy3168 Thanks very much :)
@panthora I never go out until night ;)
@yaorenliu Very West Coast... ;)
April 16th, 2015  
Great shot. I do like the random weather we have here too. Who would want to live somewhere like Queensland where the weather is always warm and beautiful. Boring. :)
April 16th, 2015  
Love that sky
April 16th, 2015  
@karlow75 I detest warm and beautiful ;)
@rachelwithey Thanks very much :)
April 16th, 2015  
@karlow75 @graemestevens oh gentlemen really - so full of it! hahahahahaha
I do like drama though - and glad you knew I'd be there Graeme
April 17th, 2015  
I love the processing!
April 17th, 2015  
@voiceprintz thanks very much :)
April 17th, 2015  
@annied @karlow75 Say what you want. It's dull and boring when everyone is happy and chirpy and infested with summer.
April 17th, 2015  
@graemestevens i love being infested with summer
April 17th, 2015  
@annied There's so many other more interesting things to be infested with
April 17th, 2015  
@graemestevens and irksome ones too
April 17th, 2015  
@annied Well yes, but I like to think that I'm the supreme irk of all the little irks ;)
April 17th, 2015  
@graemestevens oh yes - extremely irksome lol
April 17th, 2015  
Sam
My kind of weather too!
April 17th, 2015  
Yep! Totally agree with you on that!
April 17th, 2015  
@gigiflower It's blooming wonderful :)
@yrhenwr Excellent, so pleased I'm not alone ;)
