Blustering down the dirt roads of Australia – trying to keep ahead of a monster storm that gave winds in excess of 150-160km/h (100mph+) to Tamworth earlier…a menacing yet beautiful sight!

I need to get more creative with my titles…but this was the storm that developed near Inglewood and eventually moved over Ipswich/west Brisbane later that night producing all of the flooding…

It was as if we had suddenly stepped into an entirely different world. A wild world that threatened great unknown, but also promised treasures not yet dreamed of… if you would only venture on to explore it. We were on a bus traveling down a roughly paved road from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne. The typical roadside shacks and garages, interspersed with palms and rice paddies, trailed along with us. As is customary when traveling by bus in SE Asia, we stopped at a restaurant designated especially for tourists. The restaurant boasted plastic picnic tables, the luxury of somewhat clean bathrooms with no plumbing, and mediocre food at best. Even though the food looked unimpressive, I was hungry so I ordered vegetable coconut curry with plain white rice. In Thailand and Cambodia, even the least of curries can offer an appeasing satisfaction and flavor. But the least of Vietnamese curries simply don’t… (continued below) Just after I ordered, Massimo (the Italian I was traveling with) came over and urged, “Laura come see this. You’ll love it. Bring your camera.” The Vietnamese man who took my order nodded a wordless reassurance that he would bring my order out when I came back, so I grabbed my camera and followed Massimo down a gravel trail that led away from the back of the restaurant. At first, I could only see the odd mixture of palms, ferns and pines, further down the trail, lining my horizon. But, as I drew closer, I glimpsed a vast lake with sunlight dancing along the surface and a stunning fortress of mountains encircling it. I gasped, looked at Massimo flashing him a “You were so right!” grin and ran off ahead to take in the hidden treasure. Emerging through the palms, ferns and pines I saw a handful of boats beached on the shore in front of me. A few local villagers were on the water: a browned and wrinkled elderly couple, a young woman drawing in yards of fishing line in a boat taking on some water… I stopped to take it all in… this unexpected and spectacular landscape. And it seemed JUST as I inhaled my pleasure with a long, deep and heavy breath, a sudden onslaught of forceful, gusting winds swept down from the heavens. In an instant, the sun went into hiding behind a veil of darkening clouds, white mists filled the valleys and ridges between the mountains and gales fell like drapes along the water. It was as if, suddenly, there was some unseen presence swirling among us. Mighty and untamed, but soothing and enlivening all at once. Our hair whipped around our faces with frenzied fury, but none of us, foreigner nor local, felt alarmed. Instead, we felt filled with gladness, as evident through the smiles we couldn’t help but flash at one another. And that’s when I made this picture and the one that follows…

A squall line about to engulf the southern Victorian coastline. Visible here is approaching gustfront, heralding the squall line’s imminent arrival.

This storm occurred 21/12/06 approx 60km north of Adelaide tracking SE from the northern gulf region, and i intercepted near a town called Dublin, just along the Port Wakefield Hwy. The Bureau of Meteorology labelled this dangerous storm and developed into a defined squall line. The image is comprised of 9 exposures stitched together, and was taken briefly before i was pelted with mud, wheat husks and probably sheep poo. I witnessed imbedded gustnadoes on the leading edge, severe wind gusts i would estimate over 120km/h, 2cm hail and lightning every second. The storm weakened as it progressed to the northern suburbs as i pushed on further north, however the second line wasn’t as fruitful.

After 2 days of humid northerlies from QLD, Victoria had some thundery rain throughout most districts associated with pre-frontal troughs. On the 3rd day a vigorous front approached from the SW in the morning, with a squall warning issued for the Melbourne area. The cold air wedged itself under the warm moist air that was hanging around, causing a spectacular shelf cloud on the leading edge of the front. Strong winds were observed with the passage, some planes at the Avalon air show were flipped over and widespread tree and building damage in southern districts.

A deceptively soft image of the raging weather. Hiding behind a large tussock, sheltering from the wind and building rain, trying to hold the camera down. / Talk on the way down was that someone read that to get the shot you must get out in the weather. / Well …we were certainly out in the weather. Had to be! Shots from inside the car were out as it wouldnt stop being buffetted!

Searching for “different” views of the world-famous Athabaska Falls in Jasper National Park, Alberta,Canada. The folks at Parks Canada have constructed a way to get down through the rocks of the gorge walls and find some interesting scenes, where the river forces it’s way through the rock strata. They call the way the “Fifty-Nine Steps” and at the bottom we found ourselves immersed in the echoing thunder of the falls,sudden gusts of wind, and a constant bath of mist. Keeping the cameras under cover with lens caps on until the last minute made for some fast and furious composition, and frequent lens cleaning. Careful footwork is essential because the mists keep any rock surface very slippery, and a tumble into the raging gorge is to be avoided if one wishes to survive. Nobody has!
