Here in the western top-end of Australia another pulse storm rockets up high in the atmosphere and unleashes a torrent of rain onto those lucky few beneath it …relief from the stifling heat and humidity associated with the late build up season…Don’t wait for it to come to you though….they are not called pulse storms for no reason…and just as quickly as it forms, it disapates…not even a drop at this location with its core within several km’s…This Magnetic termite field has no doubt scored well already this season with the plain a vibrant green glowing beneath a spectacular 30seconds of sunshine. / / – for those interested, a bit more about this photograph,my thinking and feelings about it. (taken from one of my own comments) / / This photograph like so many others of mine is born from a concept I have had for many years…for me it sums up the region beautifully and is what I’d class as iconic in some ways as I am always drawn and intrigued by the integral link between climate,topography and nature – it’s a marvellous symbiotic existance of all things being…. many trips through out these type of plains wishing or visualising, but the componants never aligning left me disatisfied with the results til now… / / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more of my weather related photography by clicking below / /

“Think of the land, the rolling hills, green rich but wild fertile land that the menfolk can’t quite manage. The gorsedd mound, that ancient barrow: if we spend the night there we end up dead, mad or a bard! She is that woman/land that feels so rich and giving, so generous, but she is so completely untamed” / Words by Emma Restall-Orr Coloured pencil on smooth cartridge paper

WILD & FREE Duma – the Swahili name for cheetah, can weigh between 110 to 140 pounds and have a lifespan of between 10 to 20 years. (Masai Mara – Kenya) / / Listed as ‘Vulnerable’ in 2008 / / The known cheetah population is approximately 7,500 adult animals. Additional areas where cheetah status is poorly known are unlikely to raise the total to over 10,000. Given Myers (1975) estimate of 15,000 cheetahs in Africa in the 1970s, a decline of at least 30% is suspected over the past 18 years (3 generations). The decline is primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as killing and capture of cheetahs as livestock depredators, primarily, as well as for trade (IUCN Cats Red List Workshop 2007).

Featured in “All Parks” – June 6th, 2009 / Featured in Hawai’i ~ Aloha Na’au in 2008 Located in Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii / When asked about Hawaiian volcanoes, most people imagine the Island of Hawai`i and its eruptions at Kilauea or Mauna Loa volcanoes. But East Maui volcano has witnessed at least ten eruptions in the past 1,000 years. It is the giant volcano that peaks out at over 10,000 feet and looms over Maui. Haleakala last erupted in the 1790s. It is 33 miles wide and 24 miles long, and the main crater is 7.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. / This is how the crater looks like right after the sunrise, around 6:30am.

A mound of earth, barely a hill, presents itself in the almost empty Pykes Weir between Bacchus Marsh and Ballan on the Western Highway. With rainfall it will go back to being an island, a destination for children in rafts, an obstacle for power boats and water skiers and a resting place for birds.

This photograph was taken at the base of Spirit Mound, north of Vermillion, South Dakota. An evening stroll around this historical landmark last summer gave me the chance to enjoy some of the wildflowers against the backdrop of a neon orange sun dropping onto the horizon.

Termite mounds are found in many Australian bush areas. The mounds are designed to keep a constant temperature within their cores no matter the time of day or season. / Fires had passed through this area some time before, and the native vegetation is just beginning to regenerate. / The location of this photograph is Berry Springs, just south of Darwin, NorthernTerritory.

The volcanic mound known as Beblowe Craig, and sited on top of it is Lindisfarne Castle, one of the most distinct and picturesque features of the Holy Island, Northumberland, England. The castle can be seen for many miles around. Following the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, it was built in 1550 in defence of the realm against attack by Scotland and in persuit of their Spanish allies. Constructed of stone taken from the Priory the most interesting recent feature (1997) has been the re-facing of north-facing walls which featured the use of Yak hair in the render. The castle is excellently maintained by the National Trust and the view from the top truly magnificent – it is also unique. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: England.

The Bank of Scotland Building at the Mound, Edinburgh, Scotland. The former Bank of Scotland headquarters, now headquarters of the merged HBOS, has dominated the northern flank of Edinburgh’s Old Town for 300 years. The shot is from Cockburn Street. The Bank of Scotland Headquarters stands on Edinburgh’s Mound looking down over East Princes Street Gardens. The HQ Building was initiated while Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville (1742 – 1811), was Governor of the Bank. The Bank Headquarters was built by architects Robert Reid (1774 – 1856) and Richard Crichton. David Bryce (1803 – 76) refurbished the Interior in 1862 and added new domed wings with a grand replacement central dome. The Bank of Scotland Headquarters were remodelled again in 1929 and 1981. Established by an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1695, the Bank of Scotland is the oldest surviving UK clearing bank. The Bank started in Edinburgh’s Old Town, at Old Bank Close in the Lawnmarket, before relocating to the Mound. The Bank of Scotland merged with the Halifax Building Society in 2001, becoming HBoS Plc, but the Bank’s headquarters remain in Edinburgh. Shot taken on 28th February 2009.
