Winter forest on the flanks of the Totenkopf (Kaiserstuhl, Germany). The trees are mostly beech (Fagus sylvatica)
resting next to each other and sharing their last days together … just like true lovers …
These are the first flanks of the Torrente de Pareis.there are holes big enough to lodge troglodytes.the rocks have an oker colour. / /
…and then I’m off. I stumbled on this Black-flanked Rock-Wallaby (_Petrogale lateralis _) half way up a rocky knoll near Mount Eaglebeak in the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, central Australia. It was a good day because I found a family of Dusky Grasswrens and saw Little Woodswallows at the same place! This Rock-wallaby is very important for many of the Arrernte people who live around Hart’s Range and Mount Eaglebeak for whom it has spiritual significance.
Falling away, leafing us for another year, with great fanfare… / reds, and yellows, and orange pumpkins busting in color and glory. A page is turning on this year’s ending story. Awaiting nearby are the pine scented forest green pines soon to be prodded, and pruned, and decorated for the holy day of Christmas JPM © 2008.10.17 Autumn in Rhode Island series. / Leica V LUX 1 / Photograph from Kingston Turf farms, West Kingston, RI, US.

This is a shot of the FFD (Forward Flank Downdraft). The forward flank downdraft is the outflow from the rain-cooled air of the storm’s downdraft. The rear flank downdraft is air from aloft that is transported down to the surface from colliding with the storm. The rear flank downdraft air tends to be dry and warm since the air warms by adiabatic compression as it sinks to the surface. Adiabatically warmed air will also decrease in relative humidity if no precipitation falls into the air. The rear flank downdraft tends to be warmer than the forward flank downdraft also since rain and evaporative cooling is not as common in the rear flank. Shear is enhanced along these flanking downdraft boundaries and the shear can be magnified along where the two flanks merge. The right balance of shear and instability release can lead to tornadogenesis.

I was actually driving past this building in South Melbourne in 2007 when the architecture and colour scheme caught my eye. Those graceful archways and the slender double columns just had to be photographed, so I pulled over, found a parking spot and reached for my camera. I chose my angle very carefully, to get the best view of the exterior arches and the strong horizontal roof line. By choosing this vantage point, looking directly upwards, I was also able to include the high interior arched doorways in almost perfect symmetry. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/60 sec, ISO 200, focal length 38mm. 35-9803
