I captured this awesome cloud during a short family holiday in Northumberland last week. I like it a lot.
I guessed it was cumulus congestus but checked with Gavin Pretor-Pinney of The Cloud Appreciation Society:
“Yes, indeed. With a crisp summit like that, it had yet to mature into a Cumulonimbus, at which point the top freezes and [...]

There’s no doubt that the Autumn colour-show has been particularly vibrant this year – mainly due to the colder nights and warmer afternoons we experienced in late October.
I went for a brief walk in Clifton on Saturday afternoon. You can view the slideshow on Flickr.

Don José is one hundred years old, or thereabouts. Nobody knows, not even Don José. His birth certificate, along with countless other documents, was destroyed by fire during [...]

Summer returned yesterday and while on a family walk in the Walborough Nature Reserve at Uphill, I spotted this cow that had strayed from the herd. It reminded me of those Osborne billboards you see dotted about the countryside in Spain and Mexico (and probably many places besides).
Took the family on a magical walk yesterday afternoon in Clevedon Court Woods. There’s nothing that compares to the majesty of trees.
