Missed a day, mainly because 6 Nations games were on and I found out I could get a video stream. Having been taught to concentrate on the important things in life first...I did. Managed to watch all three games, albeit one was more stop than go. Lousy stream but beggars can't be choosers.

Otherwise not much up, couple of short excursions Saturday and Sunday, bit wet and windy which is not so bad, the light was atrocious though and was not very successful, (restrain your comments to that please).

Run in the opposite direction today and a couple of my attempts are posted. One thing is for sure you have to have everything ready to hand. See a great composition, lighting to dream of. Stop the vehicle, without blocking the road, difficult here and set up tripod, camera and all the rest of the shenanigans. Frame the image and lo and behold, "taint there no more, weather, lighting or whatever has turned and you wonder why the hell did I stop in the first place. But if you get lucky and your act is together there are great chances.

Stopped thinking of the Aurora, either it and the weather will come to an agreement over the next seventeen days and I get lucky or its back next year. Latest thing is fog, which isn't too bad, also makes for interesting images. Just have to keep my eyes open.

​Nothing else, so 'till mañana.

Not blaming the tools, blaming myself for being too damm slow & doddery to get my act together. Others have nothing else to do with it. All about being prepared, int'it.
I know blokes as get up at two in the morning, drive forever & get set up to catch the sun pop up over the top of the hill. Then had to sit for four hours 'till it did. If they'd listened and used the tools they were given they would have realized it didn't reach that altitude until 08:45. Smartass!
