It’s been unusually cloudy of late - not that I’m complaining mind you. Here are a couple of photographs taken early in the morning, recording mammatus clouds passing by. We didn’t get any rain from them, but they look impressive.

A nice pattern of mammatus “rain bags”.

You can just about see the rain falling vertically from each of the “bags” (between the underside of the clouds, and the tops of the trees).

Today, as an experiment, I present my images in sound rather than in photographs.

These sound pictures [4.1 Mbytes, 9 min 48 sec duration] were recorded during this morning’s walk with the dogs. Note:

• The audio is also distributed as a podcast.
• The download a podcast you need to use appropriate aggregator software that knows what to do with enclosures and subscribe to my RSS2 feed

Today you must let your imagination do the work. You’ll hear bird calls, frogs, boots on gravel, boots on grassland, dogs bathing in roadside culvert, dogs eating breakfast, and more birdcalls.

To continue the images in sound theme, the sounds were all captured using my compact camera, a Nikon Coolpix 3700 - the very same camera that I normally use to take photographs on my morning walks.
