MONTE ROSA GROUP, South-East side photographed from the surroundings of Alagna Valsesia. Sesia Val Grande Geopark, Sesia Valley, Piedmont, ITALY.
The park relief is mountainous and characterized by rocky formations, with altitude between 540-2791 m (1,771-9,156 ft), and at its highest point is the peak of the Black Needles (Agulhas Negras).
In Itatiaia Plateau region, also known as "Upper Part", are the high fields and hanging valleys where there are several river sources. In the Park area are the origins of 12 major regional river basins, which supply two main basins: Rio Grande (Grand River), an affluent of the Paraná River, and the Paraíba do Sul River, the most important of Rio de Janeiro.
The Big Three:
*Pico das Prateleiras ('Peak of Shelves') (2,551m / 8,369ft) in the middle left:
It is one of the most impressive and beautiful landforms in Itatiaia Park. To the southwest, there is a gigantic wall that falls towards the Paraíba valley, but forms a ridge with little difference in level to the northwest that connects with Morro do Couto. flic.kr/p/2oJ4HiZ
*Pico das Agulhas Negras ('the Black Needles Peak') (2,791.5m / 9,156ft) on the left:
It is the highest mountain in the Park and one of the highest in Brazil. Agulhas Negras stands out in the landscape and it's no wonder. flic.kr/p/2oFZq2E

Few cities in the world capture the imagination like Bangkok. Ornate palaces where royal processions take place, Buddhist temples where monks chant ancient temples, canals leading to a maze of water markets, night bazaars that never sleep - have long proved to be a strong magnet for travelers. In this sprawling metropolis, the Baiyoke II Tower is the tallest building in Bangkok. The tower is 88 stories high and is 302 meters high. The observation deck on the 84th floor offers stunning 360-degree views of the Bangkok skyline. There is also a restaurant on the 77th floor where visitors can dine while taking in the city views. The building also offers accommodation in the form of hotel rooms and suites on the upper floors. Furthermore, shops and conference rooms are available for business travelers and events. The building is well worth a visit for its impressive height and panoramic views of Bangkok. Bangkok is Thailand's capital and largest city and has a population in 2023 of approximately 11 million people in the city itself and more than 17 million including its metropolitan area. From the highest floor, it is possible to overlook the city, including the Menam River and the Gulf of Thailand in the distance. The building offers a unique view of Bangkok and the surrounding area, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Baiyoke Tower 1 in Bangkok is the older building and was originally Thailand's tallest building when it was completed in 1993. It has 42 floors and a height of 151 meters. Baiyoke Tower 2 is the newer building and was completed in 1998. It has 88 floors and a height of 302 meters. The Baiyoke Sky Hotel is the tallest hotel in Thailand. This hotel features a revolving rooftop terrace, an observation deck and 7 dining options. Baiyoke Sky Hotel is located in the central Pathumwan area of Bangkok. From the highest floor, it is possible to overlook the city, including the Menan River and the Gulf of Thailand in the distance. The building offers a unique view of Bangkok and the surrounding area, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Weinig steden ter wereld spreken zo tot de verbeelding als Bangkok. Sierlijke paleizen waar koninklijke processies plaatsvinden, boeddhistische tempels waar monniken oude tempels zingen, kanalen die naar een doolhof van watermarkten leiden, nachtbazaars die nooit slapen - zijn al lang een sterke magneet voor reizigers gebleken. In deze uitgestrekte metropool is de Baiyoke II Tower is het hoogste gebouw in Bangkok. De toren is 88 verdiepingen hoog en is 302 meter hoog. Het observatiedek op de 84e verdieping biedt een prachtig 360-graden uitzicht op de skyline van Bangkok. Er is ook een restaurant op de 77e verdieping, waar bezoekers kunnen dineren terwijl ze het uitzicht op de stad bekijken. Het gebouw biedt ook accommodatie in de vorm van hotelkamers en suites op de bovenste verdiepingen. Verder zijn er winkels en conferentieruimtes beschikbaar voor zakelijke reizigers en evenementen. Het gebouw is zeker een bezoek waard voor zijn indrukwekkende hoogte en panoramische uitzichten op Bangkok. Bangkok is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Thailand en heeft in 2023 ongeveer 11 miljoen inwoners in de stad zelf en meer dan 17 miljoen inclusief het grootstedelijk gebied. Vanaf de hoogste verdieping is het mogelijk om de stad te overzien, waaronder de Menan-rivier en de Golf van Thailand in de verte. Het gebouw biedt een uniek uitzicht op Bangkok en de omgeving, en is daarom een populaire toeristische attractie.
Sorry, the title is a clickbait, there's really no story here 😊... but, can you spot the two freight trains?
Passing through this very beautiful lake as we were heading out to Vancouver to visit some friends on this hazy day. The newly arrived train (on the other side of the lake) was an added bonus!
******************
PS: After thinking somewhat, I do have a story to tell!
See the low floating/suspending mist in the far end? That's where we traveled from: on the one-lane (each direction) Trans-Canada Hwy which did not provide a suitable pulloff. (Isn't it a sin to build a scenic road and not provide pull-offs for photo ops?!?) The scenery along the way was out of the world, more so with the floating thick mist. My desire to photograph was so strong, but yet I couldn't, so you can imagine how I felt that morning! I'm sure it's something that you can relate to!😉
********************
"Up until the 1990s, the average freight train in Canada was about 5,000 feet (1.54 kilometres) long and weighed 7,000 tons. But it is now not uncommon to see these trains stretch to 12,000 feet, sometimes as much as 14,000 feet (more than four kilometres), weighing up to 18,000 tons."
...NationalPost.com
"Kamloops Lake in British Columbia, Canada is situated on the Thompson River just west of Kamloops. The lake is 1.6 km (0.994 mile) wide, 29 km (18 mile) long, and up to 152 m (0.0944 mile) deep. In prehistoric times, the lake was much longer, perhaps 20x, with adjacent silt cliffs defining ancient lake bottoms 100 meters (328 feet) higher than present water levels."

Alicante is a Spanish coastal city located on the Costa Blanca in the Valencian Community. The city is an important port for the export of central Spain and the region with its beautiful sandy beaches attracts many tourists. In Alicante we can find art, culture, seafood and beautiful beaches. Alicante has a beautiful old town with a beautiful boulevard along the coast Explanada de España and lively terraces. The most beautiful sight is the castle of Santa Barbara on Monte Benacantil a hill of 166 meters high. The history of Alicante dates back to 230 BC, when the city was founded under the name Akra Leuk. After that, the city became part of the Roman Empire and in 711 the Moors occupied the city, who also gave the city its current name 'Alicante'. The Moors also laid the foundation for the fortress on top of the Benacantil hill, but after the conquest by the Spaniards this grew into the castle Castillo de Santa Bárbara.
The old quarter Casco Antiguo – Santa Cruz of the city of Alicante is located below the castle. The district has retained the charm of a seaside village, with its steep, narrow, winding streets, with its white facades, its wrought iron bars and its colorful balconies thanks to the pots full of flowers. Today you can still see part of the walls that served to protect the former city. Being such a fortress, and given its location so close to the sea, the castle of Santa Bárbara made it possible to protect the city effectively while promoting maritime trade, which is why the first houses swirled around it logically, under its guard and guardianship. Locals take great pride in their homes, decorating their balconies and doorsteps with fresh flowers, and painting their shutters in blues and greens. When you need to catch your breath, you can always relax in one of the many cafes and restaurants in this part of the city.

De wijk heeft de charme van een kustdorp behouden, met zijn steile, smalle, kronkelende straatjes, met zijn witte gevels, zijn smeedijzeren tralies en zijn kleurrijke balkons dankzij de potten vol met bloemen. Vandaag de dag kun je nog steeds een deel van de muren zien die dienden om de toenmalige stad te beschermen. Als zo'n fort, en gezien de ligging zo dicht bij de zee, maakte het kasteel van Santa Bárbara het mogelijk om de stad effectief te beschermen en tegelijkertijd de maritieme handel te bevorderen, vandaar dat de eerste huizen er logischerwijs omheen wervelden, onder zijn hoede en voogdij. Als je even op adem wilt komen, kun je altijd even bijkomen in een van de vele cafés en restaurants in dit deel van de stad.

The Russian Consulate is unique within all the other consulates in Shanghai, as it is still in the original building of the former Tsarist Russian Consulate. It has never ever moved to another location despite regime changes in Russia and China and the wars against the Japanese aggression with the bitter fighting along the Suzhou Creek front line.

Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. Valencia is located on the Costa del Azahar on the Mediterranean Sea and is considered the birthplace of paella, one of the most famous dishes in Spanish cuisine. Valencia is also known as the orange city. Valencia is Spain's third economic engine, after Madrid and Barcelona. Valencia was founded in 138 BC. under the name Valentia Edetanorum, by a Roman leader. Valencia has a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and very mild winters. Valencia, like the entire region of Valencia, is officially bilingual; they speak both Spanish and Valencian. Valencian is very closely related to Catalan. Spanish Valencia is more than beach and paella.. If you are fond of gastronomy, enjoy the color and taste of fresh products and appreciate the delicious dishes, the variety and the quality of the cuisine, the Mercado Central of Valencia is a paradise not to be missed. Modernista market building with colorful tiles & a diverse collection of stalls, separated by type. Santos Juanes is a Roman Catholic church located next to the Mercado in the Mercat district of the city. The church is also called San Juan del Mercado because of its location next to the central market. The Church and Tower of Saint Catalina are landmark in the city of Valencia and a popular entrance to the Mercat district.
The Church of Saint Catalina is one of the oldest in the city. The construction of the Church dates back to the Reconquista era. The bell tower, Baroque from the 17th century, is perhaps the most special of the whole and has an autonomous character as far as the Church is concerned, three naves with side chapels, cross vaults and ambulatory with chapels. It offers one of the most beautiful perspectives over the city of Valencia thanks to the beauty of the tower. The Tower of Saint Catalina is a landmark in the city of Valencia and a popular entrance to the Mercat district. The hexagonal construction is reminiscent of the Miguelete's design. There is a lot to experience musically in Valencia. While concerts by well-known artists usually take place in Barcelona or Madrid, it seems that in Valencia there is even more live music on a small scale. Bars, small concert halls or in the open air, varying from rock, indie, jazz, flamenco, reggae, there is something of everything. Today there will be a wedding in the Catalina church. The musicians are already practicing and warming up.
Valencia is twee na grootste stad van Spanje. Valencia ligt aan de Costa del Azahar aan de Middellandse Zee en geldt als geboorteplaats van de paella, een van de bekendste gerechten uit de Spaanse keuken. Valencia wordt ook wel de sinaasappelstad genoemd. Valencia is de derde economische motor van Spanje, na Madrid en Barcelona. Valencia werd gesticht in 138 v.Chr. onder de naam Valentia Edetanorum, door een Romeinse leider. Valencia heeft een mediterraan klimaat met warme zomers en zeer milde winters. Valencia is, net als de gehele regio Valencia, officieel tweetalig; men spreekt er zowel Spaans als Valenciaans. Het Valenciaans is zeer sterk verwant aan het Catalaans. Het Spaanse Valencia is meer dan strand en paella. Een bezoek aan Valencia is niet compleet zonder de markt te hebben betreden, een gigantisch gebouw in een modernistische stijl, waar alle verse producten rechtstreeks van de geïrrigeerde tuinbouwstreken van Valencia komen en waar u binnen het Middellandse Zeegebied kunt proeven en ruiken. Met andere woorden: veel bedrijvigheid en veel mediterraanse taferelen. De Mercado Central is een magische plek. Mis het niet! De Kerk van de Heilige Catalina is één van de oudste van de stad. De constructie van de Kerk gaat terug tot het tijdperk van de Reconquista (herovering). De klokkentoren, barok uit de 17e eeuw, is wellicht het meest bijzondere van het geheel en heeft een autonoom karakter wat de Kerk betreft, drie schepen met zijkapellen, kruisgewelven en kooromgang met kapellen. Het biedt een van de mooiste perspectieven over de stad Valencia dankzij de schoonheid van de toren. De Toren van de Heilige Catalina is een mijlpaal in de stad Valencia en een populaire ingang tot de wijk Mercat. Muzikaal valt er veel te beleven in Valencia. Terwijl concerten van bekende artiesten meestal plaatsvinden in Barcelona of Madrid, lijkt het erop dat er in Valencia nog meer livemuziek is op kleine schaal. Bars, kleine concertzalen of in de buitenlucht, variërend van rock, indie, jazz, flamenco, reggae, er is van alles wat. Vandaag is er een bruiloft in de Catalina kerk. De muzikanten zijn al aan het oefenen en opwarmen.

Foto presa amb una KMZ FT-2 soviètica, fabricada el 1965; Kodak Ektar 100.
Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
L'Ebre, vist des del pont vell de Mora d'Ebre. Aquest pont (ara de ciment, abans de ferro), fou volat abans de la batalla, pel que no es va fer servir. Els republicans construiren diversos ponts militars més amunt i més avall. Un d'ells estava situat cap a on el riu fa una corba.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
Panoramic picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 camera, made in 1965; Kodak Ektar 100 film.
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
This is the river Ebro seen from the post-war bridge at Mora d'Ebre. This bridge was destroyed before the battle, so it was not used by the Republican forces. Instead they used several military timber or steel bridges, routinely bombed by the fascist aerial forces. One of these was located in that curve of the river.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

Shortly after 6 a.m. on the Hintersee - I took a day off and got up with a friend in the middle of the night to photograph the sunrise on the Hintersee - as always a very nice and lonely experience this morning. We were already there at 5 a.m. and around 6 a.m. only one other photographer appeared ... very rarely at this location ...
I have put together 5 high-resolution 18mm portrait format photos to create this panorama photo.
Wunderschöner Sonnenaufgang am Hintersee, Ramsau - Bayern
Kurz nach 6 Uhr am Hintersee - ich hate mir einen Tag freigenommen und war zusammen mit einem Freund mitten in der Nacht aufgestanden, um den Sonnenaufgang am Hintersee zu fotografieren - wie immer ein sehr schönes und an diesem Morgen auch einsames Erlebnis. Wir waren schon um 5 Uhr dort und so gegen 6 Uhr erschien nur noch ein weiterer Fotograf...sehr selten an dieser Lokation...
Ich habe 5 hochauflösende 18mm Portraitformatfotos zu diesem Panoramafoto zusammengesetzt.

Intro - My life motto: killing & action brings me great erection
I never lost my precious time on election
In the youth I had a dream
To become a star in a Major League Baseball
Life path bring me to other direction
And now I am stacked in this crappy doll
I can still play with baseball bat and a ball
I can kick some jerks while listening
Metallica album Kill ‘Em All
I am a ballbreaker
The mean pain maker, I am a soul taker
Hey bitch throw the pitch
Let the fun begin
In this game I would always win
I would never become a movie star
Like Pierce Brosnan in a James Bond
But I can hit my enemies harder
Than a baseball player Barry Bonds
Bloody Baseball bring me so much excitement
I can already see against me new brutal indictment
P.s. Chucky recommend you a classic song Babe Ruth - Mexican.

Once I meet comrade Stalin in city Tallinn during my show in a circus, he was bank robber at that time. Our fortune teller Avreliya prophesied him to become president of USSR: “You will have bright future but some people will call you a butcher”. Avreliya also predict Hiroshima atomic fire.
After all this year my desire is still my lost love, it was love on first sight
It was true affection like a faithful loving doves.
It is pity that Khioniya life last short like candle that burned too fast.
I survived chaos in October Revolution and First & Second World War,
Greedy world leaders want more and more profit and it lead to new blood,
We opened door of doom.
Remember my boy war and violence are never a solution, apocalypse will arrive soon.
Human negligence & stupid experiment lead to Chernobyl nuclear explosion.
I think that Corona virus is unofficial Third World War
We sink more and more every day.
All this things made me mad & sad so I become nomad.
I am old now 166 years, I saw many government’s dirty tricks, no one could fix chaos on earth. Only money matter. When the life will become better, I searched for answers but couldn’t find it…
There are more vampires like me in Siberia, Patagonia and other locations in famous cities around the world. Some vampires are assimilated in many important functions like government or even the president. This is the only true story about us vampires, forget about Hollywood horror cliché movies and other fake stories.
I drunk blood from wild animals, rats or bats etc., I never tasted any human blood. And I can normally live in daylight but I often can’t sleep so I frequently walk or fly at night.
Without blood I feel wick & sick and I become sensitive to light. I know that you still think that I am lunatic and you think that my mind reading was cheap trick. Excuse me, it is time for me to go, I love full moon, see you soon farewell and stay well.
Sympathetic vampire turn to bat and disappear in the twilight, I saw on ground his cloth and hat but after few seconds it’s gone in fire like a magician trick.
P.s. Avgustin recommend you song Godsmack - Vampires.

"The Matterhorn (German), Monte Cervino (Italian) or Mont Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Its summit is 4,478 meters (14,690 ft) high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps.[2] The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points. The mountain overlooks the town of Zermatt in the canton of Valais to the north-east and Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley to the south. The Theodul Pass, located at the eastern base of the peak, is the lowest passage between its north and south side.
Le Cervin (Cervino en italien, Matterhorn en allemand) est un sommet alpin de 4 478 mètres d'altitude, situé sur la frontière italo-suisse, entre le canton du Valais et la vallée d'Aoste.
Le Cervin est la montagne la plus connue de Suisse, notamment pour l'aspect pyramidal qu'elle offre depuis le village de Zermatt, dans la partie alémanique du canton du Valais.
L'ascension de la face nord fut considérée comme le dernier des grands exploits de l'alpinisme dans les Alpes, avec celle de l'Eiger et celle des Grandes Jorasses qui forment ensemble les trois grandes faces nord des Alpes."

The morning 7th of February I woke up to see Amsterdam covered in a coat of fresh snow. The snow fell in sudden flurries and gusts and turned the world white and wonderful. With the canals in the city and occasional high winds, there can be a nip in the air, but packing gloves and a scarf should keep you warm enough. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in the winter. It snowed for the second time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was -4 degrees Celsius the snow stayed. The real feel temperature was -11 degrees Celsius cause there was a strong wind and drifting snow. It got more than a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures. The snow is a rare highlight in these February dark days, especially when you have small children. It is quite difficult to come up with something fun in these Covid-19 lock-down days. After a while, sitting indoors becomes quite monotonous for such a toddler. This is a welcome change. The snow also provides a lot of fun for children and adults here in Amsterdam. Snowball fight, make snowmen, go sledding and adults go cross-country skiing. All fun activities that people do in this beautiful snowy world.
Storm Darcy was a storm that hit parts of Western Europe from February 7, 2021. In the Netherlands, Belgium, the east of the United Kingdom and parts of the north and west of Germany, strong winds were accompanied by drifting snow, creating snow dunes. The last heavy snowstorm in Amsterdam dates from 1985. Photo taken in the Haarlemmerstraat next to Coffeeshop Amsterdamned located in Amsterdam’s Jordaan district, – and its extension the Haarlemmerdijk. Normally a lot of activity in this street that focuses on tourism. Now during the Lockdown everything closed with a few lost tourists in the distance. The Haarlemmerstraat is a gem. Offering independent boutiques and special stores, little salons, trendy but affordable restaurants and bars and the oldest cinema in Amsterdam, this area will appeal to even the most jaded of world travelers. You are guaranteed to find a special little something from Amsterdam in this alternative shopping district. The street are packed with boutique shops, cafes, coffee shops and with one little cozy dining and drinking spot after another and other interesting places to visit. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. It's a joy to walk around in my neighborhood.
Vanmorgen 7 februari werd ik wakker en zag Amsterdam bedekt met een laag verse sneeuw. De sneeuw die vannacht viel bedekte de wereld om ons heen wit en prachtig. Ik heb mijn camera gepakt en op pad gegaan in m'n buurtje. Ik geniet van het geluid van knarsende sneeuw onder mijn schoenen en het prachtige gezicht op de Amsterdamse grachtenpanden. Het is min vier graden en het blijft vandaag de hele dag sneeuwen. Met een stevige wind is de gevoelstemperatuur zelf -11 graden. Mijn handschoenen en m'n sjaal houden mij warm genoeg. Er is iets heel moois over Amsterdam in de winter. Amsterdam is bedolven onder dik pak sneeuw. Het beste advies is dan maar om lekker binnen te blijven en de kachel iets hoger te zetten. Of natuurlijk even naar buiten te gaan om wat mooie plaatjes te schieten. In Amsterdam heeft het nu voor de tweede keer deze winter gesneeuwd. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan enkele centimeters sneeuw gevallen. De sneeuw is een zeldzaam hoogtepunt tijdens de donkere lock-down dagen in februari. Foto gemaakt in de Haarlemmerstraat naast Coffeeshop Amsterdamned in de Jordaan, en het verlengde daarvan de Haarlemmerdijk. Normaal gesproken is er veel bedrijvigheid in deze straat die zich richt op toerisme. Nu tijdens de Lockdown alles gesloten met een paar verdwaalde toeristen in de verte. De Haarlemmerstraat is een juweeltje. Met onafhankelijke boetieks en speciale winkels, kleine salons, trendy maar betaalbare restaurants en bars en de oudste bioscoop van Amsterdam, zal dit gebied zelfs de meest afgematte wereldreizigers aanspreken. De straat zit vol met boetiekjes, cafés, coffeeshops en met de ene kleine gezellige eet- en drinkplek na de andere en andere interessante plaatsen om te bezoeken. De komende dagen blijft het sneeuwen. Verwacht meer dan 17 cm sneeuw in Amsterdam.

The morning 7th of February I woke up to see Amsterdam covered in a coat of fresh snow. The snow fell in sudden flurries and gusts and turned the world white and wonderful. With the canals in the city and occasional high winds, there can be a nip in the air, but packing gloves and a scarf should keep you warm enough. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in the winter. It snowed for the second time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was -4 degrees Celsius the snow stayed. The real feel temperature was -11 degrees Celsius cause there was a strong wind and drifting snow. It got more than a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures.

Those who think away for a while can imagine themselves in Hendrick Avercamp's world today. As one of the first landscape painters of the 17th-century Dutch school, he specialized in painting the Netherlands in winter. Some 400 years on, our image of life in the harsh winters of the Golden Age is still dominated by Avercamp’s ice scenes with their splendid narrative details of couples skating, children pelting each other with snowballs and unwary individuals falling through the ice. The snow is during the lock-down days an uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Since the first snow had stuck to the ground, the neighborhood has turned out for a carefree winter entertainment. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. Enjoy a thick layer of snow in your own neighborhood.

In Amsterdam heeft het nu voor de tweede keer deze winter gesneeuwd. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan enkele centimeters sneeuw gevallen. De sneeuw is een zeldzaam hoogtepunt in deze donkere dagen in februari, vooral als je kleine kinderen hebt. Het is best moeilijk om iets leuks te bedenken in deze Covid-19 lockdown-dagen. Binnen zitten wordt na een tijdje behoorlijk eentonig voor zo'n peuter. Dit is een welkome afwisseling. De sneeuw zorgt ook voor veel plezier voor kinderen. Sneeuwballengevecht, sneeuwpoppen maken of sleetje rijden. Allemaal leuke activiteiten die kinderen doen in deze prachtige besneeuwde wereld. Wie even wegdenkt, waant zich vandaag in de wereld van Hendrick Avercamp. De komende dagen blijft het sneeuwen. Verwacht meer dan 17 cm sneeuw in Amsterdam.
I had so much fun with the one can for macro Mondays I figured why stop. Not constrained to the 3" rule I thought I could work with the whole can. Sourcing empty cans was easier than I thought, a quick walk along a back road provided all I needed. It seems that after consuming a can of this stuff, the arm goes into motion mode that inevitably leads to the can winding up on the side of the road.
Each can was shot individually with my Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro with about a 6 image focus stack. They do seem to have a lot of potential for art. Three cans, a wavy window and yummy glow colors make this slider complete!
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS

On rare occasions, I post black and white..and dry lands. Yes, I do not live near the sea..sadly.
This is the skyline of Metro Manila. The City of Manila is just one of the 16 cities that formally make up the metro. With 13 million population in a limited space, the metro is very dense and a breeding ground for the virus. And we are on a semi-lockdown again. Just like the picture, things are looking bleak.
I'll post a beach picture next time. Let us focus on things that make us happy 😊

It will be k-k-cold this weekend. The temperature can drop to -15 degrees celcius and that means of course only one thing: skating! After a few nights of good frost we could skate on February 12, 2021 at the Gouwsea. Waterland in the winter is a real skater’s paradise. As temperatures plunge across Europe, many are cursing the cold. But not in the Netherlands. Many are hoping for further frigid conditions. Today my daughter Samantha and friend Casper are joying me skating. A historical moment since crossing the Gouwsea by skates is such a rare occurrence. Today we skate 12km from Uitdam, de Nes to Marken and back, such a beautiful sea of ice to enjoy. An infinitely beautiful sight on this icy sea in 2021. It was a pleasure. The meadows here are white, the Gouwzee completely frozen and the breath comes out of my mouth in small gray puffs. Put your hands behind your back. Breathe calmly. I enjoy the sound of the irons over the ice and the beautiful view of the snowy landscape . The ice surface is great here. Besides ice skating Dutch also love Ice yachting. This is the sport of sailing and racing iceboats and is very popular in the Netherlands. Ice boats are racing at a speed of 100 km an hour over the ice of the Gouwsea. The centre of ice yachting is in Monnickendam.
Today 12th of February 2021 we got the opportunity to go ice skating on real ice instead of going to an ice rink. A good freeze only comes from a win in the climatic lottery. Thus the chance for our Dutch to be wild adventurers on their own land comes only every few years. We glide across solidified, frosted lakes with fish frozen into the ice. The Gouwsea in the winter are a real skater’s paradise. In Monnickendam the ice is only suitable for ice yachting. From here the ice yachtings are crossing the Gouwzee to Marken. We visit Monnickendam. Portrait of my daughter Samantha and friend Casper walking on the vast frozen Gouwsea. From Monnickendam to Marken island is about 4km of disctance. It is not often that the Gouwsea is completely frozen.
Het wordt k-k-koud dit weekend. De temperatuur kan dalen tot wel -15 graden en dat betekent natuurlijk maar één ding: schaatsennn! Na een paar nachten goede vorst konden we op 12 februari 2021 schaatsen op de Gouwzee. Na een extra nacht van vorst ligt het ijs er redelijk goed bij. Eindelijk weer heerlijk ijs om voor schaatsliefhebbers de ijzers onder te binden. Er kan heerlijk kilometers geschaatst worden tussen Uitdam, De Nes en Marken. Vandaag gaat mijn dochter Samantha mij met vriend Casper. Je beleeft de natuur op plekken waar je normaal niet kan komen. De Gouwzee is een paradijs voor schaatsers uit het westen van Nederland, omdat het meestal het eerste grootschalige gebied is waar men goed kan schaatsen op natuurijs. Maar het blijft een historische gebeurtenis. Vele schaatsenrijders zoeken vandaag de bevroren oppervlakte van de Gouwzee op voor een schaatsrit langs de dijk van Uitdam, De Nes naar Marken. Een mooie rit van zo'n 12km. Een oneindig mooi gezicht op deze ijszee anno 2021. Het was genieten. De weilanden zijn hier wit, de Gouwzee totaal bevroren en de adem komt in kleine grijze pufjes uit mijn mond. Handen op de rug. Rustig ademen. Ik geniet van het geluid van de ijzers over het ijs en het prachtige uitzicht over de besneeuwde landschap. Het ijs is geweldig hier. De ijszeilers hebben hun plek in Monnickendam. Hier is het ijs te slecht om te schaatsen, maar voor de ijszeilers geen probleem. Vanaf hier steken ze de Gouwzee over naar Marken. Een oneindig mooi gezicht op deze ijszee anno 2021. Het was genieten. Jong en oud staan op het ijs, zelfs koek en zopie is present bij de zeilclub van Monnickendam. Met spectaculaire snelheden van wel 80 tot 100 kilometer per uur razen de ijszeilers over bevroren meren en plassen: ijszeilers hebben deze dagen de tijd van hun leven. Foto van Samantha en vriend Casper wandelend op de ijszee. Vanaf Monnickendam naar Marken is ongeveer een afstand van 4 km. Het komt niet vaak voor dat de Gouwzee helemaal bevroren is.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Savoie. Massif des Cerces. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle partielle effectuée en famille, au départ de Plan Lachat et en passant successivement par les endroits suivants : Les Mottets, Camp puis Col des Rochilles, Lac du Grand Ban, Lac Rond, Seuil des Rochilles, Lac de la Clarée, retour entre les 2 premiers lacs pour monter au Col des Cerces (2574m - point culminant de la rando), Lac des Cerces, puis retour aux Mottets et à Plan Lachat. C'est l'une des plus belles randos que nous ayons faites jusqu'à aujourd'hui et de très loin la plus belle que nous ayons faite en 2013. ❤️
Cet endroit m'a tellement plus que j'espère y retourner cet été 2021. 🙏
C'est d'ailleurs une randonnée ultra classique et très fréquentée, entre Valloire et le Galibier qui est souvent nommée la randonnée des 4 lacs ou des 3 lacs (si on retire le Lac de la Clarée ou le Lac des Cerces). On peut même voir un 5ème lac si le Lac des Mottets n'est pas à sec.
Notre séjour alpin en juillet 2013 a duré 2 semaines mais c'est la seule rando au cours de laquelle j'ai fait plus de 100 photos (et même plus de 200). Et c'est la seule rando où j'ai trouvé des photos à publier (celle-ci et plusieurs autres).
Cette photo est la seule de nos photos de montagne qui soit affichée sur un mur. Elle se trouve au-dessus de mon bureau et je la vois tous les jours ! Je souhaitais la poster depuis un moment et je suis content de la publier ENFIN ! 😊
La photo a été prise dans la montée au Camp des Rochilles.

One from the archives. I took this in Squamish in August. There's always so much to photograph there. Can hardly wait to go back!
Just a little close-up of the new steel scouring pad that sits on the sink. The view is about 1 X 1 inch as best I can tell. For Macro Mondays, "Redux 2020" theme. A remake of the May 4 Theme "Kitchen"

6 image stack shot at f/2.8, kitchen light, pad sitting on the edge of the sink, nothing too fancy (at all). :)

France. Alpes. Savoie. Massif des Bauges. Département de la Haute-Savoie (74). Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour à la Petite Sambuy, au départ de la Station de Seythenex-La Sambuy.
La photo été prise dans la Combe de la Sambuy, en montant au Col de la Sambuy.
Au centre, on peut voir l'Épaule de la Sambuy (2120m) sous son meilleur profil, qui cache presque complètement le sommet de La Sambuy (2198m) mais celui-ci dépasse quand même très légèrement sur sa gauche (cf. mon indication sur la photo).
À droite, on peut voir le Col de la Sambuy (2080m). Une fois que j'avais rejoint le col, il ne me restait plus beaucoup d'efforts à faire pour rejoindre le sommet de la Petite Sambuy (2107m), en partant à l'opposé de la Sambuy et de son épaule.
Cette rando fut la 1ère rando de notre séjour alpin de l'été 2017. J'y suis allé seul car le dénivelé cumulé était trop important pour nos filles (960m). En fait, même moi, je n'avais jamais fait de rando avec un dénivelé aussi important avant ce jour. Bien sûr, j'aurais pu choisir une rando plus accessible à toute la famille mais les conditions météo étaient très incertaines et on essaie toujours de choisir des jours bien ensoleillés et sans risque de pluie et d'orage pour emmener nos filles. D'ailleurs, j'ai très peu vu le soleil jusqu'en milieu de l'après-midi. C'est là que j'ai pu prendre cette photo. Je suis vraiment très content que les nuages aient laissé passer le soleil à ce moment précis ! 🙏😊
