@BollocksWeather @smithy692 Well, I’m in Morocco and have been driving through it for a few days before it started to move north. It’s definitely coming from here.

@MarkDenneyPhoto Just walked up this one in the French Alps this evening, it’s pretty good too.

@EileenFindlay3 I’m not 100% certain. The river has a history of flooding and can become very volatile. I think it may, in part because to manage erosion and stabilise the banks. It also has an aesthetic appeal.

We found some water for an evening dip.

This is Cascade du Morel, consisting of almost 60 👀 small cascades and one large one with an 80m drop, we haven’t made it up there yet.

Our wonderful clear sky below Col du Glandon in the Alps last night. A few hours later and it’s all got a bit dramatic.

It’s been a while since I posted anything. I’ve been trying to get on top of my Photography.

Last night I took this image of the Milky Way in the French Alps.

Red streak is a plane.
