Nighttime sounds in the local woods. It's only 5 km from the city center but sounds like the countryside. Saw quite a few fireflies as well.  |

Spent a few days in Cumbria last week. The skies looked increasingly ominous as we approached. The area looked set to live up to its reputation as one of the wettest places in the UK.  But our fears were misplaced. Barely a cloud in the sky and highs in the mid/late 20Cs the whole time    |

I recently hiked for 8 days from Nikkaluokta to Abisko including a summit of Kebnekaise. The first day was awful because rail system errors made our night train ride to Kiruna into a bus to train to bus ride that got us 5 hours late to Nikkaluokta without any sleep whatsoever. The first day of walking we had a bunch of rain too and we didn't pack our stuff into plastic/watertight bags well enough so basically all our stuff was wet after the first evening. Didn't take many meaningful pics that day. Day 2 we could at least see more than a few hundred meters.  That evening we got some dry winds that allowed us to dry most of our stuff which was nice since we were summiting Kebnekaise the next day.  Well we didn't reaaally summit. The top of the mountain is a glacier. Normally there's soft snow that's easy to tread, but this has been the warmest may-jul ever so all the snow is gone and only the wet slippery glacier ice underneath was there. You needed crampons to summit, and there was a pair you could borrow but we couldn't bother because it was raining sideways and the visibility was 10 meters. When walking down again we got a few seconds of brief clearing where we could see the top.  Neat clouds next morning.  Neat rapid.  Walking towards Abisko  Neat flowers say the wasps.  Coca cola sponsor me pls  Lots of reindeer.  This photo may not be all that spectacular but this was absolutely jaw dropping for us IRL, top 3 views of my life.  Found a lake where we bathed and cleaned after about 4 days of hiking. 900 m asl so not the warmest water, but the 20'C sunny weather was very hot when hiking.  Reindeer fence.   Neat sunset from our tent.  We walked for a very long time through the same valley until we reached a pass and got to look back upon the valley whence we came. An incredible view but I think we would've appreciated it more if we'd have come from the other direction and this had been our first view of the valley.  Other side of the pass. Tallest point of the Kungsleden trail at about 1100 m asl.  Another great tent spot.  Very nice view from the tent the next morning.  The view from our next tent by Alesjaure lake that evening.  Then the next day we finally got down to the birch forests again.  Piss station at the mountain station there. I don't know what to feel about it.  |

Hike in the eastern Pyrenees  Convection going strong, was a bit worried  Anvil was complete about half an hour later, decided to head back to trailhead (about 2 hours away)  Fortunately the storm was moving away from me, an unusual direction (westwards). Next day from a moving car     Horses obviously really liked the car.  Blue skies and temps in the upper 30s (upper 90s) towards the Mediterranean  Couple convective towers trying to prop up the anvil  A few days after, mammatus clouds in Bordeaux  From the train back to Paris. Clouds had some shape to them up until the Loire valley.  Then the usual low ceiling. Quite early for that shit methinks.  |
