Hi folks.
Thought I'd say a bit more about what I do when not fishing. This is one of my other severe passions:

Saw the isolated cells crossing Cardigan Bay this morning so headed out to Borth for about 8. I was greeted with this view (shot through the windscreen) - not very inspirational, but I decided to let the cells arrive and see if the visibility would get better. A very dark wall of precip passed just to my N and then I saw, pushing SE against the prevailing SW airflow, a long low raggedy line - a gust-front from the flank of the cell. I got the SLRs together and waited for it to move overhead....

This was the seaward view.....

Whilst this was the (better) landward one!

It pushed on past me giving splendid structure.....

Just after this was taken a very heavy downpour broke out right overhead. It appears that a new cell had fired smack on this outflow boundary as, seemingly from nowhere, torrents of rain and hail fell on me.

Had a lot of fun with a film SLR armed with a 19-35 mm ultrawide. These are just a few I grabbed with the compact, but they illustrate the complex interaction of boundaries that was taking place - would have made for great timelapse

Cheers - John
