Sadly, it is true about Shaggy

Cumulonimbus

Or more commonly known as "Anvil Top clouds". They produce heavy rain, hail and even lightning on a local scale. They can explode to great height in a very short space of time as they form in an unstable airmass.
But is it me, or that cloud has the appearance of mooning at me! Taken at 9.45 am on a rather unsettled Sunday weather-wise.

Baby Plants

The boss had taken delivery of baby plants yesterday at my tomato greenhouse workplace, and today they've all been laid out all ready for next year's growing season.

Folkestone At Night

A view of Folkestone from the hills to the north of the town.
The two photos were taken with my S5600 while I was on my way home from work earlier on today. I wanted to make good use of the excellent visibility, but Jesus it was FREEZING on them hills, and the strong winds only made it even worse. I could only rattle off five pictures before I thought I was going to pass out from being so, so cold!
Don't forget you can click on the actual image to view a larger version in a seperate window.

This is what happens . . .

. . . when you turn your back on nature.
This is my bro in law getting wet in the name of photography at the East Cliff Sands earlier on today.

"Treemendous" Sunrise and Sunset

Made good use of this very brief "fiery" sunrise while I was on my way to work. The sunset one was taken from my hobby room. Yes, BOTH pictures were taken on the same day.

Postling Church

As any church buildings goes, I think this is a classic example of how churches should look like. I just love this one based at Postling, it just looks so "correct" in proportions and size. Plus the location is perfect as it's free of background clutter such as buildings and cables.
This was taken at 4 pm, just as the sun was setting.

Evening Solitude

Saw this red sky starting to develop while I was driving on my way home from work, so I took a little detour and headed for the Battle of Britain memorial place at Capel Le Ferne. Once I got there, I thought the statue complimented the set-up. At that point I was losing the red sky, so I had to give the photo a slight colour boost.

Towards The Evening Sky

This lovely orange hue associated with a late afternoon sunset caught my eyes while driving home from work, so I decided to make good use of it.

Keeping Things In Perspective

My workplace earlier on today. I thought I'd make use of this rare moment when my tomato greenhouses workplace are stripped bare of plants.

Three Way Split

Perhaps I might have taken the rule of thirds thing a wee bit too seriously.

Armistice Day

This time I'll let the date and picture speak for themselves.

Red Hill

Like the way the early morning sun rise gave this hill a dawn glow.

Straight To Sleep

Just thought the combination of Chad and my bed cover goes well together.

Down At The Beach

Decided to go for a stroll down to the beach today since the weather was bright and sunny. Naturally it was an invitation to take my camera for walkies and keep my photography juuices flowing. What you are viewing above is the end result.

The Mask

No, I'm not about to rob a bank (although it does seem like a very good idea given my current financial situation!!). It's my personal defence against a very spore-dust filled tomato greenhouse. It's now the end of the growing season and the plants are in an advanced state of decay. This time next week, the greenhouse I stood in when this picture was taken will be stripped bare of everything in preparation for next year's growing season.

The Mini Kray Twins

After Emma (a long time ladyfriend of mine's) kept referring to her 14 months old twins as the new Kray Twins. Thomas's face is in the background while Jacob's at the foreground.
