Waterspout, Great Yarmouth, England, 27 August

Around 160 waterspouts are reported each year across Europe, with the UK reporting 15 on average. They are most common in late summer. In the northern hemisphere, September is the prime month of formation. On discovering this, blipper Haddock noted in his journal: ‘Probably a third of the UK’s yearly waterspouts dropped out of the bottom of a huge cloud offshore of Great Yarmouth this morning. A couple of them looked far more dramatic - but had died away by the time I got the camera.’

More mountains magic mist, Govetts Leap lookout, Blackheath, NSW, Australia, 8 October

Back in Australia, blipper PelorusJack records three days of fog in a row, culminating in this stunning view. ‘Gotta love this place. The clouds in the Grose Valley this morning looked like a boiling raging sea surging between the rocks.’

Holy Isle, Firth of Clyde by FotoFling Scotland Via Flickr: Holy Isle is an island in Lamlash Bay, just off the Isle of Arran and measuring around 3 km long (1.9 miles) by 1 km wide (0.6 miles), Holy Isle has an ancient spiritual heritage which stretches back to the 6th century. It is endowed with an ancient healing spring, the hermit-cave of a 6th Century monk, St Molaise, and evidence of a 13th Century Christian Monastery. Some runic writing is to be found on the roof of St. Molaise's cave and a Viking fleet sheltered between Arran and Holy Isle before the Battle of Largs. A sacred site dedicated to peace and well being, there is a Centre for World Peace and Health at the north of the island where an ongoing course and retreat programme takes place. There is a closed Buddhist retreat at the south of the island. Follow me on Blipfoto
