This summer, I’ve monitored the UK’s heatwaves using the PASCO Wireless Weather Sensor - a compact & powerful tool packing a wide range of sensors into one device. So far, I've recorded 3 major heatwaves by July 18, and still counting! @pascoscientific

Hoping for a holiday miracle. Was out of work for some time here before Christmas. At a new job now but oh Lord the effects of that are rough. If you are looking for arctic photography, please consider. See quoted tweet. 💚 Hoping I can be out shooting again soon. I miss it.
I've added some more of my favorite images to the folder in the quoted tweet. 💚 https://t.co/y5OGsh3VN1 Download and use for prints or backgrounds etc. (Non commercial) And pay whatever you think they're worth here: https://t.co/9vHyOqEqsc if you so please. 💚
