Ever-changing Light
These 4 photos are all from the same day in mid-November in Iceland.
The sun rose at 09:45 in the south-east, meridian was 12:56 and 180° south, sunset was at 16:06 in the south-west. At its highest, the sun was only at 7° altitude. On top of that, the sky was overcast almost all day.
The result was these fascinating plays of light. We started in Siglufjörður, south to Skagafjörður, through Tröllaskagi and finished in Akureyri.
Lentoid
Mid-August, and a lovely warm day with a brisk wind coming in from the southern ocean.
The moisture-laden wind was lifted by the coastal mountains and met the glaciers, head-on. The rapid cooling and strong air movement created huge lenticular clouds all along the south coast.
Very brief, but absolutely magical.

Phenomenal
You might have hear of wind shear, but have you ever seen it?
Late October, the maximum sustained wind speed was 75.9 kph (47.2 mph), a Beaufort scale force 9 - a "strong gale."
We were hurrying back to our hotel, breaking no speed limits but not hanging about.
I spotted this strange cloud formation and took a few shots. It wasn't until I had chance to look at them properly that I realised what I had.

És csak jön és jön...
Mondjuk, már nem bánom!

Storm clouds gathering over the fields. The calm before the rain.

Pulled over on a country road in Eastern Ontario yesterday when this appeared over the fields.
A full rainbow arc — sunlight entering millions of falling raindrops, reflecting off their interior walls, and refracting back out.
Didn't have to go far from home for this one. Sometimes the light finds you.
