G'day! Welcome to Astropete's Weather & Astronomy's Weather Photos. Here you'll find all sorts of weather phenomena from winter dew drops on spider webs to storm clouds. Everyone will relate to the pictures in some way. Even a Pyrocumulus cloud on Black Saturday!
I try to capture the beauty that is around us in nature and the universe. So have a squiz at our photos and if you like, follow us on social media, or just have a good look!
