Photos of Australia and its weather
An Australian weather show..............wonderful shots
Some are terrifying, some are awe inspiring - all are beautiful.
These images, showing the elements at their wildest and most magnificent, have been released in a new calendar.s
Each year the Bureau of Meteorology and Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society organises a competition for the best weather pictures
SOME of the most breathtaking photos of Mother Nature in action have been compiled in the 2013 Australian Weather Calendar.
Published by the Bureau of Meteorology and Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, this popular not-for-profit publishing exercise, now in its 29th year, serves to promote the understanding of meteorology and oceanography through a fiercely contended photo competition.
This year's cover shot is a dramatic image of lightning striking the Q1 skyscraper on the Gold Coast taken by Ann Van Breeman who describes herself as a 'serious amateur' photographer.
Bureau of Meteorology calendar project manager Robert Kershaw said with so many striking images to choose from, the challenge was to reflect the broadest possible range of weather phenomena across all seven states and territories.
The pictures are most often donated for use in the weather calendar and remain the property of the photographer. To inquire about the sale or re-use of photos, please contact the relevant photographer.
