Oh thanks I didn't know and even now I can't find it. But good to know.

Just been looking back at some from a few weeks ago, I think this one portrays the bleakness of a rainy day in the Peak District quite well.

We haven't been bothered too much this year with Santa Ana winds, but that could change soon

Interesting cloudscape throughout the afternoon, culminating in this unique sunset image

I was frustrated that I drove 5 hours to take photos and end up in a downpour with more rain predicted the next day. I was also all but out of gas.

Then this happened.

I don't know what you were planning to take photos of, but that one is a great shot. Well done.

Magical. You're one lucky man. Just a question, why didn't you include the entire rainbow?

This was at 16mm on the 16-85mm, no more real estate. I also took a shot with the 14mm equivalent on my iPhone and couldn't get it all. I forgot about the super-wide on my phone (it was pouring rain and I was standing about a foot off a busy highway in poor visibility bracing my elbows on the roof of my car to hold the camera steady -- I was distracted), that would have gotten it.

Oh I love this, I do want to visit the Pennines and northwards.
