Hi George!
So many are my warm (pun intended!) appreciative thanks to you for sharing all the lovely photos you took during your trip. That you have taken the time, effort etc to share your photos with us is highly appreciated.
In one simple word:- Mesmerising. This is something you will never forget!
Best wishes, and, renewed thanks, good man!
Laurence
PS. Have you thawed out now?!!?
Hi George!
A very Happy New Year to you, and, of course, all CAS members!
Thanks so much indeed for sharing your “prototype” photos and I am sure you will have others to share with us once you are fully settled back in. So glad your trip turned out so well. You braved the cold very well.
Best wishes.
Laurence
PS. I am not, by nature, an envious person but I feel twinges of this state coming to hinge upon me when I see your lovely photos. “Hahh!”.
Hi Hans
Thanks for the reply – always appreciated. The photo is certainly spectacular.
May I take this opportunity to wish you, and all CAS members and all at the CAS, a very enjoyable, festive, happy and Merry Christmas. I truly hope and wish to all the very best for 2019, good health, happiness, contentment and peace. May nothing bad come your way.
With my seasonal Best Wishes to all.
Happy cloud viewing for 2019.

Hi Hans and Hygge
This is my contribution to your earlier postings.
Today – 4th December – upon the BBC’s Weather Watchers website is a nicely concise article about a reflective rainbow – that is, two rainbows plus an “intruder”.
Till now I knew nothing about this phenomena. Well, it goes to illustrate one never tires of learning about weather and clouds.
Here is the link:-
Best wishes.
Laurence
Thanks, Keelin.
The swamp rainbows are certainly a wonder to behold. As ever, Nature always surprises us with her wonderful crafts , grandeur, and handiwork.
Best wishes to you.
Laurence
Thanks, Keelin. I am glad to be of service and pleased you liked the posting.
Yes, the image certainly has a painted look about it. I wish I could “paint” like it.
Best wishes to you.

For those of you thinking of taking a trip to visit the Northern Lights via CAS’s trip to Finland 2019, or elsewhere, here is something to tease and whet your appetite!
Photo comes from NASA’s APOD page released today (18 November)

Hi Keelin
Greetings to you.
Glad you found my posting to your liking. I hope others too. My pleasure.
Yes, the photos are absolutely spell-binding. As an ex-FRPS photo judge of quite some years ago I frankly would not relish choosing a winner in this marvellous quantity of photos. All of them are truly of a very high order indeed. It is like the “Sword of Damiclies!”
This is a rather mythical thought – I think the CAS should do some “head hunting” and recruit, nee, “Press Gang” (old UK expression) these wonderful photographers into the CAS! Now – there’s a thought, eh?!? Hmm….

To supplement my previous posting here is a detail showing the finaalists in the Weather Photographer of the Year 2018 – here are 30 magnificent photos and showing clouds at their very best!
The photo judges must have worked damned hard to select the winners!

I have always followed the TV program, “Ice Road Truckers”, for some years. Viewable on UK’s “Channel 5” programme. I am sure you can view this series via Internet.
The folk, “Ice Road Truckers”, undertake precipitous trails to deliver goods etc to communities to far flung places and doing so put their own lives at great risk.
In the much earlier series of the program “Yellow Knife” was featured.
Temperatures outside the heated lorry cabin would easily drop down to about minus 40 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Make very sure to take every precaution against the cold!

Hi Keelin
Yes, I would love to attend the CAS event in Finland but I’ve had a lot of big expenses to deal with this year plus more to come in 2019 so I have to keep my purse strings tightly drawn. “Shucks!”.
Glad you enjoyed the postings I put up. I hope one day I will see Aurora Borealis for real before I “peg out”, so to speak!
Best wishes.
Laurence
Oops! I forgot to include this link to a further 7 photos of the skies above Shetland and the Orkneys.

I agree,Keelin. Pic #3 is the best one.
Yesterday I was lucky to be in my small back garden early morning refilling my several bird feeders and admiring a nice sky overhead complimented by a huge V-formation of Canada geese flying from north to south honking very noisily in their characteristic and unmistakable way. Their formation was immaculate! They would put the US Angels and UK Red Arrows aerobatic teams to shame. “Oh, dear!”.
Laurence
Greetings, Keelin
Thanks for your welcome response and I am glad you found that which I posted was to your liking.
On the NASA APOD website I have quickly trawled for more startling images not so much about Sun pillars but more of Light pillars so I thought I would post the links to them hereunder.
