Over the past month we have experienced weather events the like of which have not been seen for some fifty years. Lots of wind, rain, thunder and lightening. Strong squalls whipping across the horizon causing huge amounts of flooding. We are seeing water in places we haven’t seen it before. I took myself across the road to the old golf course latish one afternoon….
What was a small stormwater pond has turned into a lake.
the water has spilled over and filled the dips in the land.
Couldn’t resist this beautiful cloud formation one more time.
Weekly photo challenge – pure
I took this on the way into the southern alps in NZ a couple of weeks ago. I love the contrast between the heavy clouds and the super bright clear sky and the mist below which I captured through the front window of the car I was driving in. As a passenger I hasten to add : ).
We had a window of opportunity to see and explore the mountains of southern new zealand. We headed south and west from Dunedin. Snow topped mountains if you look real close, otherwise landscapes that are deeply green with the odd tussock thrown in , oh yes and some cows, sheep and braided rivers.
Its intensely cold …..7ºcelsius daytime temperature brrrrrr!!
The hillsides are morraines and covered in red tussock grass.
To be continued….: ))

Today has been one of the coldest days yet on the south coast of oz. Seriously when your breath clouds out of your mouth, its cold. We have had hail off and on all day. An intense low has been right over the top of us. Definately an inside by the fire day.
I did manage to take myself outside this afternoon and this is what I found….
Brrrrr heaps of hail cuddledmup next to my rainwater tanks
Hail heaped up in my stormwater drain……
and later across the road
Glorious cloudscapes….. clear and crisp and soaring!!
The best light ever….
And here they are in the distance
