Tales of Home [7]

Its been raining here for a month. One dry day. In a month. and there's more on the way. flipping fed up of it.

{{{{Back to rain here too Figg- rain, and wind, and hail and sleet- bloody brass monkeys too! }}}

they said its going to get Arctic conditions in the UK over Easter. flipping heck!

I heard that also Headlines on the papers..Briton set for Artic Conditions...Snow at Easter ! I remember as a child eating Easter eggs with the lovely clean bright light of thickly laid snow coming thru the window. And when the sun shone it really lit the place up, I loved it

{{Stunning sunrise this morning on way to work- these pictures are untampered with save some cropping}}}

{{Dawn approaches!}}









{{Sun breaks the horizon- just as I get to work   }}}





And some cool wispy cloud patterns on the way home from work-

that's some serious orange sky there.

Great Earthy pics !!

{{{So, I am walking to work, is very early and still very dark- but clear and bright. One star in particular is very bright, almost certainly because it was a planet, so I wondered, can my camera pick it up- so I took this snap-




I wonder how much it can zoom in on it I mused, and so I zoomed the camera to its maximum magnification and got this shot-



Interesting thought I, wonder if its good enough to pick up just stars, and so I snapped this shot-




Which was when I noticed an odd set of lights moving across the sky, to my unzooming eyes it looked like it was triangular shaped, with a point of light at each point of the triangle but I zoomed the camera half way in and got this shot with details I couldn't see with the naked eye-





So I zoomed in on it to the maximum magnification, but this made holding it view, and finding it again once lost very tricky in a black sky and I only got one more good shot of it in frame before it shot off, and here it is-





And a bit brighter-



I am going for it being a Klingon Bird of Prey myself  

  }}}}}



Any guesses at to what it is?

Fook, is all I can say !  That looks oddly weird !! I blame the Scandilandinandians ! Its not far from them is it ?

 flipping heck that's very odd, could it be a helicopter? or a Klingon decloaked?

hurricane force winds. forecasts gusts to 92 mph. the power is out so we're running on battery. internet could go any time. i'll check in when things die down.

Geez. You should have joined me in Puerto Rico.

with this wind i'm more likely to end up in alaska

The worst gusts seem to be past and it's settled into a steady roaring howl.
The linemen have got the electricity back on.
Those guys are superheroes!

first sunny day in two months. it feels weird.

50 feet in the air in hurricane force winds working with high voltage wiring as it rains sideways and trees fall around you? No thanks!

{{Hats off to linesmen the world over- an incredible job they do in awful circumstances }}}

Nearly every morning has been a thick, damp mist blotting everything out. It hangs around for a good couple or 3 hours after Ive got up. And its bloody cold !

{{{{{Oooh I like fog! I like the silence of it, its cool and weird - when I stayed in Glasgow i used to occasionally get engulfed in fog like that- walking through the city seemingly silent and alone is so weirdly cool! Lovely atmospheric pics Azriel }}}}

Thankyou Petty yeah, I like being a secret invisible lost soul in the fog too. Full moons that illuminate the whole garden into Faery glow are my fav Makes me feel as tho Im the only one here & alive to feel it & no one else can feel it & I dont really want to share it What does that make me ? What would a psychologist say bout that ?

I know a couple of linemen. Great folks with a zest for life, but if there's a major storm anywhere within 200 miles you'll find they suddenly disappear. During epic blackouts linemen will converge from all over the country, especially if it's winter and lives are in danger.

More winds gusting to 70 mph.
No more electricity.
GO TEAM LINEMEN!

whats this Black Knight satellite? is it a hoax?
