Bleak by graemestevens

Bleak

You'll be pleased to know that my cloisters have fully recovered and thawed after yesterdays shot - all I need to do now is run a full operational test and I'll be back in business. I also read this morning that a fanatic religious group has predicted the end of the world (again) for 7th October...where I live it's now 8th October and behold, I still live. But it did seem like the perfect occasion to post this shot.
We got it wrong this time, so we recalculated our refractor and we now predict the, deep breath......the end will come on the 31st of September 2018...have your mask and basque ready...

is cloisters a reference to the mountain oysters? it rhymes anyways
October 8th, 2015  
This looks like an enemy submarine breaking surface... you're not collaborating again are you Graeme?
October 8th, 2015  
@vignouse I'm far to selfish to collaborate with anyone!
@kali66 My cloisters are my oysters, comestibles, wear with all...call them what you will...
@moviegal1 Thank you very much :)
@jack4john At least that gives me more time to pack...
October 8th, 2015  
Oh, I see an ocean monster breaking the surface of the water, great shot. So relieved your cloisters recovered.
October 8th, 2015  
Your photos wouldn't be the same without those dramatic clouds! Long live us!
October 8th, 2015  
Awesome shot Graeme, the painted clouds and that one white peaks... and "that gives me more time to pack" ha!!! :)
October 8th, 2015  
Cool shot. Bleak and cold looking!
October 8th, 2015  
@harbie Thank you - not just looking but it actually was!
@kerosene Thank you kindly...didn't do very much to the clouds in this one for a change
@maggiemae I do like a good moody sky...and yes, I quite agree
@kategoring Thank you kindly - I too am greatly relieved ;)
October 8th, 2015  
love the sky - not so much the cloister info ;-)
October 8th, 2015  
@annied Thank you kindly - not too keen on that bit myself.
October 8th, 2015  
Nice and dark. Or dark and nice.
October 8th, 2015  
@mastermek Or darkly nice even, and thank you kindly
October 8th, 2015  
What! You mean I missed the end of the world yesterday? If I had known I wouldn't have spent all my money on that kitchen.
October 8th, 2015  
@deliad I wish I'd had some warning as well, I could have slept in

Oh well, I can wait till 2018!! Great shot, and I can see the submarine/sea monster! Could it be Captain Nemo?
October 8th, 2015  
@sioux I can wait as well, I'm not quite done here yet...and thank you
October 8th, 2015  
Don't be too optimistic, some part of the world is still in 7th.
October 8th, 2015  
@yaorenliu I didn't ask what time zone we were meant to be working with...
October 8th, 2015  
Bleak indeed Graeme. Especially when viewed on black.
October 8th, 2015  
Love that sky :)
October 8th, 2015  
I'm not so sure that I'm pleased with this knowledge Mr. S!
October 8th, 2015  
Glad I didn't see this til it was the 8th here as well. What a relief! I can see the sub others referred to...and also agree that the sky makes the shot.
October 8th, 2015  
Wow awesome looking sky!
October 8th, 2015  
Dramatic! Damn I like it!
October 8th, 2015  
@susale Thanks very much - can't be helped ;)
@nicoleterheide Thank you - didn't have to do much to it this time to get it looking like that
@taffy Thanks - it's a relief for me too as I hadn't packed yet...
@bill_fe We seem to be okay here so I can only assume it will be the same for you....
@hermann Thanks very much :)
@pools82 Thank you very much :)
October 8th, 2015  
Brooding and dark! I like!
October 8th, 2015  
Wonderful powerful bleakness and space!
October 8th, 2015  
Wonderful moody sky and shot.
October 8th, 2015  
Lovely B&W.
October 8th, 2015  
@graemestevens I meant the knowledge about your cloisters, Mr. S
October 8th, 2015  
@bill_fe Oh. Well, it has been foretold that they will bring about the end as well.
@kwind Thank you very much
@tonygig Thank you very much
@amandal Thanks - it's how I like my bleakness
@pixelchix Thank you very much
October 9th, 2015  
Are you sure you still live? This is brilliantly bleak if that's not a contradiction in terms!
October 9th, 2015  
@yrhenwr I'm barely breathing, but thanks for asking ;)
October 9th, 2015  
Look we made it to the 10th.
October 10th, 2015  
@joansmor I'm shocked that they were wrong ;)
