Beautiful sky, Ron. It looks like etching or study in black and white.

There hasn't been much colour at all, t-p, but the forecast is better for the weekend, so we might see some more appealing weather for pictures then. Sadly I can't really capture the power and majesty of the waves today: they were the best I've seen for quite a while here.

I can see big waves. Also there is that bird in the sky. I can almost feel strong wind.

I hope that isn't actually Ron's raincoat blowing away in the wind!  Great photo, Ron. What hardware was that with? |

Sadly I can't really capture the power and majesty of the waves today Yes, it's one of the odd differences between photography and painting that while photography is the medium that directly records what is there, sometimes painting better captures our experience of it. Your waves look mightily impressive but what's impressive about them is not anything one would ordinarily notice about waves: like the famous photographs of milk pouring and droplets splashing outwards, the photograph stands as quasi-scientific proof of something that 'really happened' but which no human eye ever saw in isolation. A painting, on the other hand, uses representational conventions to capture the subject's phenomenological essence (the way we experience it).  |

Awesome skyscape Ron! The kind of thing I used to get very frustrated trying to paint, because it wouldn't keep still. 
Today was one of the first really nice sunny days we've had for a while.    |

Coo, Kitty, real snow. Haven't seen that for ages.
Snow does change the quality of light, doesn't it? (Not that in this globally warmed city we ever see it nowadays.)
If you don't mind, what part of the States are you in? Presidential hopefuls knocking on your door? (Or have I got that all wrong?)

Don, Kitty's in Vermont, so will miss the presidential caravan, Hilary, Obama et al by a hundred miles or so.  Wonder how the caucas went in Iowa, though... Very interesting campaign this time around. |

I was listening to a very funny piece on the From Our Own Correspondent podcast about the Iowa primaries from that arch piss-taker, (but humane person) Justin Webb.

 Sorry, so far off topic it isn't funny... Er, but it is a teensy bit funny in itself I think. |

The shot was taken with the wee waterproof 5 meg Pentax - there's no way I'd take the big one out in that: definitely not safe with the hail and salt-spray.

Ollie, you have to tell us what it means ... Oh, alright then, I'll do the honours shall I? Rev Schober was beginning to think he maybe shouldn't have bought the new crucifix at Ikea. Do they have Ikea in Germany then? |

 For those that love ducks, some slightly unusual ones. Lovely pic David. Somehow Ron, your sea looks colder than Kitty's snow! Certainly less inviting. I do like your snowy pix Kitty but I was hoping to see some English snow here on this thread! I've been in Yorkshire for a funeral where the snowy gravestones and flowers did look picturesque but it was bitterly cold with the wind whipping the snow against us. (I can't say any more here but the day went very well under the circumstances.) |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
