    Cumulus Nimbus

    The hottest day on record in Manila in April 2024 sees a huge thunderstorm building to the North of the city. Unfortunately it came to nothing and the city went on sweltering. This view from Bonifacio Garden City appears to show a flying saucer, but it is likely a reflection of a light from within the building where the picture was taken.

  2. The Sun has set and a lazy moon is on its back. This is the scene from Robinson’s Plaza in Lipa City, Philippines. Maybe someone should fix the sign on the plaza!

  3. Taken from the Waterfront at Balete, Batangas in the Philippines, the Sun sets over the Taal Volcano and lake. Few people seem to be aware of what a wonderful location Balete is to witness this daily show.

  4. Taal in the Philippines is an active volcano. She gives a reminder with a puff of steam that she is only sleeping!

    At Quilo Quilo North in Batangas Province in the Philippines, a late dusk looking Northwards towards the Town of Padre Garcia.

  6. Captured from the Skybar aboard an Emirates Airbus 380 en route to Dubai from London Gatwick. The Sun is setting across the Aegean Sea.

  7. A familiar view of Camber Dock in Portsmouth with the MV Victoria of Wight in the distance waiting to sail on the 17:00 departure to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight. In the foreground, waiting its next sailing is the MV St Claire with the iconic Spinnaker Tower visible to the right, and the Ben Ainslee sailing centre to the left ( or should that be “Starboard” or “Port”)?

  8. A wonderfully cluttered view of Camber Dock in Old Portsmouth! Local fishing vessels jostle with Wightlink ferries against the backdrop of the wonderful Bridge Tavern, Ben Ainslie Sailing Centre and the iconic lipstick shaped Number 1 Gunwharf Quays tower block.

  9. This is the Keep of Guildford Castle in Surrey, South East England, which was established in the 13th Century and was the County Gaol for many years until at least the 18th Century. Although the earthworks remain, many of the castle features have now vanished, but the Keep remains.

  10. Guildford is regarded as the “County Town” of the County of Surrey in South East England. This view is taken from the ruins of Guildford Castle and looks across the town to the Cathedral on Stag Hill around 2 x miles away. Guildford is often mistakenly considered as a city as it has a Cathedral, but although the granting of city status has been applied for in the past, the Royal Warrant has never been given.

    Penalty Miss!

    Aldershot miss a Penalty, but still go on to beat Oldham Athletic 2-0 in the Conference National League! Oldham Athletic were founder members of the Premier League in 1992 but now play 5 x Divisions lower.

    Ryde Pier

    An Island Line Class 484 has just left Ryde Esplanade on the way to meet the ferry at Ryde Pier Head. This unusual view is taken from Union Street in Ryde and shows a wet day across the Solent, but the city of Portsmouth is visible through the rain.

  15. A Island Line Class 484 Unit pulls away from Ryde St John’s Road into the approaching rain on its way to Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.

  16. The photographers favourite DMU (158 885) waits at Salisbury for a shunt movement. In the meantime “Cousin” DMU 159 106 has just arrived from London Waterloo. It is difficult to believe these trains are both over 30 x years old now!

  17. A timeless railway scene at Ryde St John’s Road on Island Line.

  18. A “Up” train from Shanklin to Ryde Esplanade on Island Line waits in the February sunshine at Brading for the “Down” train to pass.

  19. Island Line’s 484 003 is waiting for departure time at Brading en route to Shanklin on a February evening.

  20. Wight Ryder I creates a wake behind it on a sailing from Ryde to Portsmouth and seems to be running from the setting Sun over the Isle of Wight!

  21. It was actually 12:25 and I was waiting to meet some colleagues at 12:30. ?
  22. A South Western Railway Class 444 Desiro waits at a misty Petersfield Station on an early Morning service to London Waterloo.
