Two squirrels living in a warm time in a park in the city center, attract the attention of passing pedestrians. They are in a huge cage two by two meters, in wooden houses, and imitation of trees.

Greedy and insatiable dozens of ducks in a city pond, eating all that passers-by throw themselves.

The tree is damaged and not survived the lightning strike. The birch was blown up at the base of the trunk, its pieces are scattered around the area.

The bumblebee was tired and fell asleep with a flower spraying, approaching him a little woke him up.

At the beginning Altocumulus clouds​ Height of base: 2,000 - 18,000 ft Latin: altum - height; cumulus - heap Altocumulus are small mid-level layers or patches of clouds - called cloudlets - in the shape of rounded clumps. These are white or grey, and the sides away from the Sun are shaded. Mostly found in settled weather, altocumulus are usually composed of droplets, but may also contain ice crystals. The presence of shading can help tell the difference between altocumulus and cirrocumulus. Cirrocumulus are white but altocumulus can be white or grey, and the sides will be shaded. Nimbostratus clouds at the end of the video Height of base: 2,000 - 10,000 ft Latin: nimbus - rainy cloud; stratus - flattened or spread out Nimbostratus clouds are dark grey or bluish grey featureless layers of clouds, thick enough to block out the sun. These mid-level clouds are often accompanied by continuous heavy rain or snow and cover most of the sky. If there is hail, thunder or lightning it is a cumulonimbus cloud rather than nimbostratus.

The usual feeding of wild ducks in a pond near the city. Suddenly the whole flock on the water soared into the air at the same time, although there was no danger, they were very much into the taste of a donut dough that they were fed. Many were so scared that for a long time they did not return to finish eating the pieces floating on the water's surface.

Мухомор красный использовался как опьяняющее вещество и энтеоген в Сибири и имел религиозное значение в местной культуре. Шаманы обских угров также ели мухоморы чтобы достичь транса. Мордва и марийцы считали мухоморы пищей богов и духов. Мухомор красный (лат. Amanita muscaria) — ядовитый психоактивный гриб рода Мухомор, или Аманита (лат. Amanita) порядка агариковых (лат. Agaricales), относится к базидиомицетам.Плодовое тело гриба содержит ряд токсичных соединений, некоторые из которых обладают психотропным эффектом. Содержит Мусцимол — основное психоактивное вещество. Обладает седативно-гипнотическим, диссоциативным эффектом. Amanita muscaria was used as an intoxicant and entheogen in Siberia and had a religious significance in local culture. Shamans of Ob Ugrians also ate fly agaric to reach trance. Mordva and the Mari considered the fly agaric food of the gods and spirits.

Тольятти, прибрежная полоса реки Волга, Россия. Пёс идёт по следам хозяина. Видеограф Паша Смольянин. Лайка ступая по воде, идёт по тем же камням, по которым шёл хозяин. Порода Норвежский чёрный элкхунд или норвежская чёрная лосиная лайка (норв. norsk elghund sort), — порода шпицеобразных охотничьих собак, выведенная в Норвегии, разновидность норвежского серого элкхунда, отличающаяся меньшим размером и окрасом, но имеющая собственный стандарт. Название происходит от elg (с норв. — «лось») и hund (с норв. — «собака»). Используется для охоты на лося и других копытных. The dog follows the owner's footsteps A dog of mixed breed, his father Norwegian lundehund mother Siberian Laika. The owner of the dog is Pasha, the dog's name is Sayan. The Black Norwegian Elkhound (Norsk Elghund Svart) is a modern variant of the Grey Norwegian Elkhound. It is a small Spitz breed and is very rare outside the Nordic countries of Scandinavia.

Cirrocumulus are a relatively rare cloud forming ripples which may resemble honeycomb or the scales of fish, giving rise to the phrase 'mackerel skies'. Timelapse from 1st September 2018. Height of base: 20,000 - 40,000 ft How do cirrocumulus clouds form? Cirrocumulus cloudlets are usually made up of both ice and 'supercooled' water, this means that water remains a liquid, even at temperatures well below 0oC. They form when turbulent vertical currents meet a cirrus layer, creating the puffy cumulus shape. Cirrocumulus clouds can also form through contrails, the vapour trails left by planes as they fly through a dry upper troposphere. These streaks can spread out and become cirrus, cirrostratus and cirrocumulus.

Next to the houses in the city there is a natural pond, on which every spring the ducks come, here they are eating enough to snarl with the first frosts to the south. Ducks like to eat bread in addition to fish and seaweed.

About 40 minutes of video in real time with several layers of clouds, the top layer and the middle going in different directions. Cirrus (Ci) Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands. These clouds have a fibrous (hair-like) appearance, or a silky sheen, or both. Cirrocumulus Height of base: 20,000 - 40,000 ft Latin: cirrus - lock or tuft of hair; cumulus - heap Cirrocumulus clouds are lots of small white clouds - called cloudlets - grouped together at high levels. Composed almost entirely from ice crystals, the little cloudlets are regularly spaced, often arranged as ripples in the sky. They are relatively rare, and unlike altocumulus clouds, never have any shading. Lenticular clouds These lens-shaped orographic wave clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow across hills and mountains from the same or similar direction at different heights through the troposphere. Height of base: 6,500 - 16,500 ft Shape: Curved layers, like flying saucers Latin: Altocumulus lenticularis “like a lens” Virga clouds What are virga? Virga, from the Latin for 'rod' or 'branch' appear as light wisps which are attached to the base of a cloud and are often at their most striking when lit by a red sunset with a light wind extending the tail into a angled curve. How does virga form? Simply put, virga are trails of precipitation that fall from the underside of a cloud but evaporate or sublime before it can reach the earth's surface. This happens when falling rain or ice passes through an area of dry or warm air.

Walking in the wild with a dog to get halfway around the river and sunset, it was necessary to climb up the steep steps, dug in clay. The dog from the gestures and words of the host understood that it was necessary to go upstairs and get up. The area around the city of Togliatti, the Volga River. The dog's name is Sayan, owner of the dog Pasha.

Dog likes running around, sips water in different places, dog male, always looks inquiringly at the owner and enjoys the nature of the Samara region. The dog's name is Sayan, owner of the dog Pasha.

The approach of a thunderstorm begins with a change in the cloud, a cell rapidly growing in all directions, shooting after a thunderstorm, by nightfall there was again a thunderstorm. Cumulonimbus clouds Height of base: 1,100 - 6,500 ft Latin: cumulus - heap; nimbus - rainy cloud Cumulonimbus are heavy and dense low-level clouds, extending high into the sky in towers, plumes or mountain shaped peaks. Commonly known as thunderclouds, the base is often flat and very dark, and may only be a few hundred feet above the Earth's surface. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with extreme weather such as heavy torrential downpours, hail storms, lightning and tornados. If there is thunder, lightning or hail, it's a cumulonimbus cloud rather than nimbostratus.

Shot on August 12, 2018, the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. Altocumulus (Ac) White or grey, or both white and grey, patch, sheet or layer of cloud, generally with shading, composed of laminae, rounded masses, rolls, etc., which are sometimes partly fibrous or diffuse and which may or may not be merged; most of the regularly arranged small elements usually have an apparent width between 1° and 5°. Cirrus (Ci) Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands. These clouds have a fibrous (hair-like) appearance, or a silky sheen, or both. Cirrocumulus (Cc) Thin, white patch, sheet or layer of cloud without shading, composed of very small elements in the form of grains, ripples, etc., merged or separate, and more or less regularly arranged; most of the elements have an apparent width of less than 1°.

A very simple and cheap way to shoot a solar eclipse on a video and a photo camera. The sun is very bright for shooting without special filters, but not all cameras, for example, smartphones can attach filters there are none or they are very expensive. It's another matter of glasses for observing solar eclipses, they are cheap and they can be used with cameras and a smartphone to shoot solar eclipses, especially if they are partial and bright sun blinds the sensors. This is the first time that I am photographing the Solar Partial Eclipse on August 11, 2018, which passes over the entire Arctic from northern Europe to eastern Russia.

In airflow crossing a hill, mountain or ridge, orographic clouds may occur below, at or above the top of the obstacle. Orographic clouds in the troposphere may differ notably from the usual characteristics of any of the 10 cloud genera; however, tropospheric orographic clouds are always classified as one of these genera. A beautiful phenomenon of nature shot on August 11, 2018.

August 11, 2018 was a new moon and a partial eclipse of the Sun, which could be observed in the north and east of Russia. However, the best visibility was for inhabitants of the circumpolar latitudes of the northern hemisphere. A partial eclipse began at 11:02 in Moscow time near the island of Labrador in Canada, continued over Greenland and Iceland, and then in Northern Europe. Already at 11:40 Moscow time, the Moon's disc appeared over the territory of Russia, beginning with the Murmansk, the eclipse proceeded in the southeast direction - thus practically all the inhabitants of Russia, however, except for Chukotka, Kamchatka and the south-western territories, they could observe the latter in this year solar eclipse. The maximum phase of the eclipse occurred at 12:46 near Wrangel Island, the eclipse ended over China at 14:31 Moscow time. In Moscow, the maximum phase could be observed at 12:36, reports the Moscow Planetarium. This year this particular eclipse of the Sun is the third and last - the previous ones occurred on February 15 and July 13. It is worth recalling that to observe the eclipse with the unaided eye is dangerous for sight - special means of protection are needed. Duration from (06:40 UTC) to (12:38 UTC) From Russia, the Sun eclipsed to a maximum of 68%.

These lens-shaped orographic wave clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow across hills and mountains from the same or similar direction at different heights through the troposphere. What are lenticular clouds? These strange, unnatural looking clouds sometimes form downwind of hills or mountains. They are quite unusual in the British Isles but do occasionally occur. They look a lot like the traditional shape of flying saucers in science fiction, and real lenticular clouds are believed to be one of the most common explanations for UFO sightings across the world. How do we categorize lenticular clouds? There are three main types of lenticular clouds: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL), varying in altitude above the ground.

A wall from a stream of rain drops reflecting the sun's rays from the opposite side. Time-lapse from 8 minutes of real time.

Thin, white patch, sheet or layer of cloud without shading, composed of very small elements in the form of grains, ripples, etc., merged or separate, and more or less regularly arranged; most of the elements have an apparent width of less than 1°.

Entering the atmosphere, a large space rocks, are often followed by explosions and flares of a red-hot plasma. This video is a stone from the Perseid stream, on the night of August 1, 2018. At the time of the greatest flash intensity, the light was as bright as the full moon in the sky, the glow of the meteor was circular, it was halo, the reflection of light from millions of ice crystals in upper layers of the atmosphere. From another angle where the camera captured only a part of the meteor, there are noctilucent clouds on the horizon. The intense plasma trace held for several seconds after the disappearance of the meteor, a bright band of hot gases, like a laser beam, glowed bright blue and red light. Rare bright fireballs in the sky often are harbingers of denser clusters of plumes of cosmic stones left by asteroids and comets. Comet Dust Each July and August the Earth encounters debris left behind from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. This comet has an orbit of 133 years and last entered the inner solar system in 1992. The strongest Perseid rates this year are expected to occur on the Sunday night/Monday morning August 12/13, when the Earth closest to the core orbit of comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Theoretically, the best time to watch the Perseids is just before the break of dawn when the radiant lies highest in a dark sky. This is usually around 04:00 local time.

Video selection of three brightest meteors with a duration of observation of up to five seconds. Some meteors fly quickly while burning in dense layers of the atmosphere, the stones split into fragments, from the Earth it looks like a faltering fire track with flares from the explosion of fragments of cosmic stones. Other stones have a different structure and are burned by an even, uninterrupted beach, for example they look like a huge plasma ball that flies half the horizon gently extinguishing in brightness. Meteors are quite difficult to record on the camera, since if the bosoms do not exceed the brightness of the full moon, ordinary cameras do not see them well. For example, this video uses high-light-sensitive analog cameras, they are cheap and at the same time they see better in the dark than a smartphone Samsung galaxy s9. At first you will see 3 meteors in a row, the real speed of playback as they were in the sky. Then repeat multiple times without slowing down.

The rareest longest lunar eclipse coinciding in Mars in the opposition the next day. Various shutter speeds were used, since the moon was dim, then the lighting changed, it was necessary to adjust the exposure. Only about 2 hours of photo shooting.

More than a dozen strokes of lightning caught at the photosensitive cam at night. Mostly the exchange of charges between clouds.
