I love aviation, weather, travelling, good food, music, movies, snow and cold rainy days.

Wow I can't believe my luck just then in snagging this photo with a simple point & shoot camera of a #Virgin #737 flying past as I was taking a photo of the #moon at sunset! This was flight VA958 that had just departed #Brisbane for #Sydney

Live view of the #Brisbane CBD on this wet gloomy winter's day. It sure is nice to see some rain for a change after a prolonged period of dry weather though!

Night turned into day here yesterday as a relentless barrage of close lightning strikes, booming thunder, torrential rain, and icy winds filled the air!

Spectacular #sunset in the skies over #brisbane here a short time ago as the setting sun lit up the back end of a decaying t/storm in fiery orange colours

T/storm map for today showing potential in SEQ will be lower today. Isolated (but possibly severe) at best, none at worst. SEQ's 2nd round of storms overnight last night originated all the way out in far SW QLD and travelled 1000 km over the space of 12hrs to get here!

Latest from #HAFS - one of the newest world-renowned hurricane models which has outperformed many others. Will it be right this time for #Jasper ? We'll know in a few days time! Intensity of TCs are often much harder to accurately predict compared to their tracks.

One of the most potent severe t/storm setups I've seen for a while is looming for the eastern states in the coming days. While not everyone is going to get a nasty storm, supercells will be possible & even the risk of a tornado somewhere. Map covers the xmas eve/xmas day period

I was just witness to the most magnificent #sunset #rainbow + #lightning + #mammatus + #crepuscular ray scenes in the skies over #brisbane that I've ever seen in my life! Here's the sunset rainbow+lightning component of it

Some particularly nasty thunderstorms possible for some places tomorrow (Saturday)! But only for the areas where things don't turn into a showery rainy thundery mess too early on.

WOW this was my view just then from Salisbury of one of the most spectacular sunsets I've seen in ages! The storms to the SW cast a stunningly sharp shadow onto the underside of the high cloud

Heat lovers might call today, "Teeth-Chattering Tuesday" but I just prefer to call it nice! Jack Frost (and some of the usual shallow fog) has returned to my local area this morning as you can see by these attempted close-up shots that I took just then

WOOOHOOOO my live view from just south of Dalveen of Southern QLD's once-every-year-or-two snowfalls materialising, with flakes floating down right now! ❄️#snow #qld #granitebelt
