I’m mostly found out exploring the beauty of Wales, and beyond, with a camera (or two) in tow...

Eyes to the skies tomorrow- the red arrows are doing a fly past over parts of Britain to celebrate VJ Day, with Cardiff en route around 14:40pm. https://t.co/edRvgOX1Bf

@traceypaddison @pollyth0mas How about Mynydd Illtyd, near the Brecon Beacons visitor centre at Libanus? It’s lovely up there and not to steep, but superb views 👌🏼

[George Harper @harplington]

Some pretty amazing views last night... the noctilucent clouds over South Wales almost upstaged #cometNEOWISE 😃

[George Harper @harplington]

@alynwallace Wow! Just wow! I didn’t realise it was now visible in UK. Great shot Alyn 👌🏼

[George Harper @harplington]

Wow! When a massive C17 Globemaster comes from @RAFBrizeNorton to do a touch and go at Cardiff airport and you happen to be cycling past the end of the runway 😲 The backdraft almost knocked my bike over 😂

@electra_rhodes @Treacle_A @DerekTheWeather @bbcweather @weatherwatches @BBCWalesNews @sheclicksnet @Ruth_ITV I didn’t dare turn it on for a few days, to dry it. But then it worked fine. Fingers crossed your place dries out and noore leaks 🤞🏼

Yesterday’s cloud burst over Cardiff... I made a sharp exit off Garth hill after catching that shot, as it headed towards me! Love a thunderstorm though 👌🏼#StormHour #CardiffHour #cardiff

@electra_rhodes @Treacle_A @DerekTheWeather @bbcweather @weatherwatches @BBCWalesNews @sheclicksnet @Ruth_ITV Oh nightmare! Hope all is ok? My bay window roof gave in at the downpour a week ago.... poured all over my flatscreen tv. Amazingly it survived, despite water running out of it!! (I moved it before this storm!)

[George Harper @harplington]

@jo_sfbw All good Jo, thanks. Hope you guys are doing ok?

[George Harper @harplington]

@Ruth_ITV Thanks Ruth! I’ve been after a shot like this for so long! Perseverance paid off :-)

[George Harper @harplington]

@metoffice @DerekTheWeather @bbcweather @weatherwatches @BBCWalesNews @sheclicksnet @Ruth_ITV No problem @metoffice -thank you for asking 👍🏼

[I Loves The ‘Diff @ILovesTheDiff]

Awesome image by Georgina Harper of the storm raging on the edge of Cardiff yesterday. ⚡️ Taken from Garth Hill. As seen on her Insta: https://t.co/pFY9JgEDfW Front page Echo contender @trystwilliams?

[George Harper @harplington]

@ILovesTheDiff @trystwilliams Thanks for the feature @ILovesTheDiff 👍🏼 it was a pretty epic view from the Garth 👍🏼

[George Harper @harplington]

@ILovesTheDiff @welshswede @trystwilliams Haha- don’t worry, it was carbon fibre ;-)

[George Harper @harplington]

Keep an eye on the skies this morning- typhoon jets will do a fly past over Cardiff around 10am to celebrate VE Day...

[George Harper @harplington]

@JHolden92 Looks like that’s changed- says 9:55 to 10:25 now

[George Harper @harplington]

@williamsrn1 Thank you :-) It’s amazing what night sky stuff you can photograph in the city, though the starlink satellites are still eluding me!! 🙄😂

[George Harper @harplington]

Happy Earth day. Here’s a 2.5hr star trail, showing the rotation of the night sky (well- the rotation of earth) around Polaris, the North Star. There at least one Lyrid meteor in there too... #witns #Lyridsmeteorshower #stargazing #StayingAtHome

[George Harper @harplington]

The #Starlink satellite constellation is due to pass overhead around 10pm tonight. Worth a watch... but bear in mind this will be around 40 of them, but Elon Musk wants to launch 40,000, cluttering up our skies :-( https://t.co/LpvUVuBliy
