We had a proper tropical storm today, in the middle of winter, temperate zone of the old continent. You know, the lot; torrential rain, dangerous gusts of wind, minutes long thunders and intense lightnings. But that passed and when it cleared, we were greeted with this wonderfully contrasting scenery you see below. I call this one "a glimmer of hope".

A still very bright sky is interrupted by relatively dense but breaking cloud formations that glow in red and orange hues from underneath in the distance. Mist that is forming over local hills is however completely devoid of colour and is together with some lower clouds still casting a very dark and contrasting shadow over the hills and the urban landscape beneath them.

A view of a mountain in the Southern Alps on September 15 2024. Snow persists at its peak for days now even on the sunny side and there's a possibility of further snowfall in the coming days. The white blob between local hilltops and the mountain is a distant mountain range deeper into Alps that's entirely covered in fresh snow. I was seeking refreshment from intense heat in a 28°C Adriatic Sea mere 80mi away at the beginning of this week. Now, I'm unmothballing my winter wardrobe. This. Is. Not. Normal!

Young female #blackbird, caught mid-grooming after a short #spring shower, perched on a bare branch of an old bigleaf maple tree covered in #lichen. Heavily processed to remove optical effects of a triple-pane window it was shot through. Shot #handheld on a #CanonR6 camera with #IBIS and using a manual #Konica #Hexanon AR #135mm f/3.2 #VintageLens @ f/4 1/160s and a matched 2x #teleconverter (effective F=270mm, f/8). Lighting was front and poor so I also lifted shadows and contrast a bit. Camera did a great job of keeping noise at minimum even at ISO2000 so the end result remains reasonably clean.
