Bet one of his middle aged French lady fans has a kink for wonky socks.

Better? I'm not going to touch my friend's socks, as I'm not sure they are supposed to be that colour.

A cave, well more of an arch. Good timing (unplanned) having the waves running through it and a nice bit of hazy orange light.

Where is that.

A little beach in Pembrokeshire.

The start of the French tat spam. Looks like there should be a good snow dump on Monday, and sunshine on Christmas day, so there might be quite a photo dump too.

#snowtat from this afternoon's local walk - still warm enough for T-shirt on the ascent, but I think that'll be it until after Christmas now... winter drawers on, looking at the temperatures forecast. But hope to get some really proper snow photos on Monday and afterwards as recompense.

I look forward to seeing those snowy mountain scenes, weather permitting.

I'd like to get some on Monday of snow falling profusely, and no thaw, then they are still forecasting sun on Christmas Day, after temps of -11C at 7am, so there ought to be some really pretty scenes... though I probably won't set out too early for my hot picnic Christmas lunch, all things considered.

That does look promising…proper winter temps. Playing around with shutter speeds could be good for catching the falling snow.

Souper. Homemade curried creamy butternut squash soup. Photo composition OK, I think, with sideways shadows and mini bread tower.

I could've done with a flask of that soup^
Wave-centric again, but the conditions called for it. The main priorities were, don’t get swept out to sea and try to keep the front of the lens clean, both challenging enough.
Tried a few things, long exposures to try and convey the maelstrom and B/w into the sun.

Looks like you succeeded... splendid sea.
At the moment it's just piddling down here and hovering around 7C at 500m, so I'm tempering my optimism somewhat. OTOH, if it snows above 1000m I should still get my white Christmas picnic.

Yes, the sea conditions were extra lively today. If I could’ve had wind-over-tide to push the spray back, that would’ve been ideal.
Much of the difficulty (for me) is finding a location that’s safe(ish) but also low enough to sea level. Today, after a scramble down, I positioned myself behind some boulders. They defused the wave energy just enough. The problem, the boulders had come from a recent rockfall and I was situated right beneath the remaining overhang. I didn’t look up much.

Ah, that’s nice. It must be Christmas.😀 A quick demise.
In a recent pic I’d posted here (where I’d spoken about unstable cliffs), I noticed a rockfall in that photo. It must’ve been very recent. There were some caves beneath too, probably buried now.

We'd have come looking for you. Probably sometime in 2025, as occasionally you disappear for a while... maybe under some rocks somewhere.

I took this one as a bit of SM spam... having filled a carrier bag with fresh French garden herb pruning bits in September as a 'pot pourri', I was cheered up that they had dried nicely, and the dried sage saved my going out into my very soggy garden in the rain to get some for my sage & onion stuffing... I was going to get some today, as thought it might be under snow by tomorrow night.
Anyway, I looked at it again, and it made me think of a bit of a Dutch still life, where things are just scattered around, a long way from perfection, and all the more interesting for that. (A Platonic sprout as a prize if you can recognise the provenance of the table.)

That’s the problem with living under a rock, occasionally you’ve got to come out for air.
If I photograph something natural (fallen leaves for example), I leave them without tampering otherwise I find it can just look wrong somehow. Wabi-sabi -embrace imperfection, even if it happens to be uneven sock height.😉
The table….hmm… first thought, parquet flooring, but then came up with old wooden wine crates for a French theme.

No Platonic sprout yet. Much more humdrum and less French, even if it was bought in Avignon.

Very wet snow at the moment at 500m (it's still 4.5C), but it's settling down here with snow falling all day, so should be a good covering up at 1000m, and forecast to get colder through to Christmas Day, so I'm fairly hopeful for #snowtat
0 -
Annoyingly it's still 5C, so pretty squelchy snow at 500m, and unlikely to last, but there's a good dump going on up at 1000m.
First #snowtat dump... not heavy enough yet to get it falling, but currently looks like it's getting its act together a bit. My house is lurking in the first three photos.

Last #snowspam for today... it's definitely melting quite fast around the village now, but the roads will be utterly treacherous tomorrow if they freeze tonight. The mountains are still looking promising for when the sun comes out... should be pretty spectacular, as it's sticky snow.

Annoying but fascinating - all the models on Meteociel are wrong for the temperatures... they all have them hovering around 0 to 2C, but it's resolutely stayed at 6C overnight, so no uniform blanket of snow for #snowspam. Hey ho.
BTW, if you like uninterpreted output from the various models, the Meteociel app is really good (Android or iPhone), and you can store UK cities as favourites on the Home screen.

A shame on the snow front, but it could be worse. An unfestive feeling 12C and rather grey here, 15C in Scotland!!
Yup, I must upgrade my Beeb weather forecasting, a tap on an aneroid barometer or maybe that app you mentioned.
Enjoy!

I've found Ventusky to be the most reliable weather app. Photographers have also recommended Clear Outside but I've not really trialled it yet.
