The same cold front that brought you snow brought us category 2 hurricane force winds here, as evidenced by the pic.

Just went to pick the kids up from school and saw a perfect double rainbow end to end. I dashed out the car (that’s the silver one) and had to take the picture using a panorma as it was too big to get into a single frame. That’s why the cars are in chunks (mine excepted). Never seen a perfect one before. Brilliant, then I had to dash back to the car to pick the kids up.
We don’t get the nice water in the sea that other people get, it just pours down on us.

And here’s the same picture retouched to remove the panorama artifacts
The retouching cost me a £10 donation to a charity. Possibly the best £10 I’ve spent in years.

I was going to say that one of the first pictures you posted looked like Silver Creek Falls out near Silverton Oregon. I’m posting this now - so I don’t forget to put up some of my black and white spring break of 1997 way back in college - doing a photo project for class. Some cool stuff back then. Living in Maryland now - military life - but saw that water fall in a rain forest and thought of home state!

Here’s a picture I took over Xmas whilst walking with my dog on Ingleborough which is in North Yorkshire. I popped out for an hours walk with the dog and enjoyed it some much I walked for 6.5 hours. Given this was all cross country, I didn’t walk that far, but was knackered at the end of it. The dog shrugged it off and wanted to do it all again.
The picture has not been retouched in any way at all, nothing special about the app on the iPhone and this was just how it came out. You can see a little green/blue dot on the picture which is (I assume) some reflection on/in the lens. It was taken on an iPhone X. We also aren’t that high up, maybe 500m. Again people have assumed its high in the mountains in Europe or in the Andes in South Amercia. The photo was taken around 14:15 and I got home around 16:30, so it was about 3-4 miles from home. The way home was past a very famous cave called Gaping Gill.
This is outside Ingleborough Cave, around 3 miles from where the picture was taken. The water in the river comes out of the cave. Divers eventually mapped the underground river in in the 1980s. They had to dive it, which in the 1980’s was dangerous, not sure it’s any safer now.
And this is my Blue Merle Border Collie/Poodle cross called Rocco. Rocco is now a year old and looks like an Old English Sheepdog (which he isn’t) crossed with a hamster (which he isn’t). He loves living in the country and finding the most foul sheep poo to roll in.

Nice looking pooch. But I’m not sorry the forum doesn’t have Smell-O-Vision.
