Early this morning I went outside to look for the Orionids, but saw only one faint trail, which ironically burned out right below the belt. At 5 AM everything was frozen. The car windows were covered in ice, the puddles were completely frozen, and the grass crunched beneath my bare feet. Those frozen footprints were still intact as I left for the gym at 7 AM, and when I returned at 8:30. My outdoor thermometer is still waiting for me to change it's batteries. The average of all the bank thermometers in town was 28 F (-2C) and we are typically a few degrees colder outside of the city.
I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit, then I will go outside and mow my lawn for the last time this year. It's supposed to reach 60 F this afternoon, then get cold again with a good possibility that 60 F may not happen again for a while. Weather channel says weeks....to not this year!

I cut the grass yesterday. I don't remember doing it this late and getting a good result. Last year my big birch tree was green until 14 th Nov and after. It had 80% of it's cover 22nd Nov. I remember when young it was all over by Nov 5th when we have bonfire night and mostly over when my sons birthday Oct 8 th.

Nope, not smart enough. Pretend you're in Australia.
After having the warmest, driest start to October, she's decided to give in and give us some rain and cool near the end. I am still walking in shorts but now a shirt and shoes are in order. Too bad, it was unbelievable for a good stretch there.

I would guess your camera or desktop software knows something our forum browsers is not picking-up. (However on another site I see sideways thumbnails come up right... "inconsistent" seems to be the truth.)

Thanks, PRR. Brimstone Hill, Devonshire Parish, Bermuda - southeast vista on the Atlantic. Pleasant enough spot to spend a few weeks in the mid autumn. Certainly beats what Victoria is having this week.
And I got lost after about the third paragraph of Magnus’ JPEG orientation treatise.

Indeed. It seems to be comprehensive but TMI for me.
FWIW, what I did was save the pic and open in a dumb old app which hardly/doesn't know what EXIF is. Land was on top. Turn 180 degrees, save, post. (Because JPG->JPG re-save is lossy, I opted for little compression, and my file is 3X the bytes of yours; but I liked the image so I let it be fat.)
We have days like that here. "Here" not my house in the woods, but the bottom of my road, where it hits bayside. Wonderful vista of the bay, and sometimes clouds overhead. But no place to stand. This snap is on the way back from the bank. No clouds, and it is a bitter cold wind, so not a great picture. As you see, late leaf-peeper season.
