Summer Photo Thread 2015

The NI and Mt Tom photos remind me of the Longwood ranges down near Invercargill. Quite a different look and atmosphere to the hills around here

Thanks.

Yeah, I prefer upper 80's and mostly cloudy to 90's with full sun.

Those clouds in NI look like winter clouds.

They don't look wintery to me - winter clouds are usually uniform and featureless. That looks like an overcast summer's day.

The cloud's in Owen's photo look like the types of cloud we get in cold, NW air streams - more common in winter and spring.

Probably Northern Ireland is located in a completely different climate zone and that's why the clouds are different.

The clouds in my picture were cumulus clouds, certainly not a winter cloud type.

They are just a zoomed in version of these clouds, which don't look much like a winter day.

Are you sure that he didn't just post your photo? The terrain looks the same as the Connecticut River Valley.
