El invierno va camino de finalizar sin haber sido pródigo en nevadas y lluvias en el norte de León. Como consecuencia vemos el bajo, muy bajo nivel de las aguas estancadas en el Embalse de Riaño, aguas que sirven de espejo donde se reflejan las cumbres poco nevadas de las montañas que lo circundan, destaca, a la derecha en la imagen, el Pico Yordas con sus 1967 m. de altitud.

Una aclaración: Los montes que rodean la parte norte del embalse, NO son los Picos de Europa, (bastante más al norte y no visibles en la imagen). Estas bellas cumbres que contemplamos, pertenecen al Parque Regional Montaña de Riaño y Mampodre, dentro de la Cordillera Cantábrica.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend, my friends!
I took this photo on a snow shoe hike at Sudelfeld, an area that belongs to the Bavarian Alps. The light was just great at this afternoon...there is nothing better than combining two passions - hiking and photography...
Ich habe das Bild während einer Schneeschuhwanderung im Sudelfeld, in den Bayerischen Alpen, geschossen. Das Licht war großartig an diesem Nachmittag...es gibt doch nichts Schöneres als zwei Leidenschaften miteinander zu verbinden - Wandern und Fotografieren...
snow shoe hike
While hiking to the Rattlesnake Gulch Trailhead at Eldorado Canyon State Park, Colorado, my daughter and I noticed several climbers headed to same elevation but they were taking the "hard road" to get there ; -) (Please look in large size to see the climbers that look "ant-sized" on the nearly vertical rock faces).
Five climbers are circled in the picture (place your cursor on the image).

The Netherlands is a small country of 16 million people, but it boasts a quarter of a million competitive speedskaters, and millions more who skate for fun. What's the story? Natural ice in the Netherlands is a rare occurrence. In fact, some winters there's no natural ice at all. Maybe that explains why the Dutch love to skate outdoors. They hardly ever get the chance! But when a cold wave hits, and the interconnected maze of canals, rivers and lakes freeze over, it's a spontaneous celebration, a national holiday. Infinite sea of ice is perfect for ice skating journeys. Ice skating is not only a Dutch sport, it also underwrites the history, art and culture of the Netherlands. Perhaps most importantly a good freeze provides the Dutch a chance to discover the wilderness and an outdoor challenge within their own landscape. The Netherlands are a long distance skater's dream. Hundreds of kilometres of potential routes can carry the skater to the heart of a wild landscape. Today after 4 years we went ice skating on the Ankeveense Plassen.
The Ankeveense Plassen 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. Photo taken of Dutch people on the lakes of Ankeveen. A first time skating in 2017 is such a rare occurrence.
Schaatsen op natuurijs is het leukste wat er is. Warm inpakken, muts op, handschoenen, schaatsen geslepen, slee mee en gaan. Helaas is het in Nederland niet zo vaak zo koud dat we echt kunnen schaatsen. Veel mensen grijpen vandaag nog even de kans om te schaatsen. Ondanks de waarschuwingen van schaatsbond KNSB om weg te blijven van meren, sloten en kanalen. Het ijs is op veel plekken niet dik genoeg. Daar lieten veel schaatsliefhebbers zich dus niet door weerhouden.. Op 26 januari 2017 verzamelden meerdere mensen op de Ankeveense plassen in de gemeente Wijdemeren. Dat is de plek waar het ijs het sterkst was. Vaak wordt er aangehouden dat het ijs een centimeter of 10 dik moet zijn om veilig op te kunnen schaatsen, en het ijs op de Ankeveense plassen is op het dikste gedeelte maar een centimeter of vijf dik, maar dat weerhield tientallen mensen er niet van om toch even het ijs op te gaan. In Ankeveen was de meest gehoorde reactie: “het is dun, maar het kan wel…”. En dat leverde mooie plaatjes op. Mensen van alle leeftijden op schaatsen, kinderen die een buikschuiver willen maken, mensen die voorzichtig even willen voelen hoe het is om op het ijs te staan. De aantrekkingskracht van het ijs is enorm. Opvallend veel Amsterdammers zoeken hun toevlucht in Ankeveen. ,,Hier kan het al, bij ons op de grachten nog lang niet”, grijnst een meneer. ,,Het is windstil, lekker zonnetje, het is ijs is goed. Wat wil je nog meer?” ,,Natuurlijk kan je door het ijs zakken, maar het leven is niet zonder risico's. Je kan ook onder een auto komen, of er kan een vliegtuig op je huis neerstorten.”

Devant la mer j'ai besoin que tu aies un visage
pour savoir où je suis.
Tu suffis.
Tu me tiens
hors de l'éternité inhumaine.
Homme chaud et sûr
J'entrouvre ton aisselle et dans l'angle regarde
Un coin rescapé
D'une mer devenue précieuse et petite.
Moi aussi.
Je suis petite et précieuse.

As it turned out, -30 degree (°C) weather is not so good for outdoor walking, but quite interesting for the shapes of industrial smoke

The Rozewerf is a hamlet located just south of Grotewerf. Rozewerf was originally a mound, which is called a yard . This mound is not named after the color, but more than likely the person or family Rose, who has been the owner or claimant of the yard. Rozewerf still got the original look of this ancient settlement which are still the characteristic and monumental buildings. Houses are very close to each other, there is narrow passage through the hamlet. Rozewerf really is just on the dike that protects the water, once the Zuiderzee now the Markermeer. The area around Rozewerf was also regularly flooded after it came to be by the sea. Eventually a low dike was constructed leaving only skipped water at larger storms. Evade from the tourist at the harbor and headed to this little gem. The Rozewerf is an idyllic spot on the Marken peninsula. Surrounded by water and near Amsterdam. Hikers and birdwatchers can enjoy their stay here. But also those who simply want to swim with their children in the IJsselmeer or want to go sailing. You can stay at the Rozewerf. From the dike has a magnificent view over the many mounds that Marken is rich. Rozewerf, with the right 12 icebreakers which are derived from the 12 apostles. The twelve wooden icebreakers dating in construction in 1872. They are fan-shaped situated in relation to each other. The icebreakers have cultural and historical value because it authentic in appearance and become rare examples of de-icing facilities. The former island Marken is now a peninsula in the IJssellake. Since the construction of the Dam there has been no more trouble. However, it has been affected by the drifting ice in the winter. Therefore there are also icebreakers just outside the dike in the Markermeer .
The UNESCO nominated island connected to the mainland since 1957, offers a clearly visible rich history. Rozewerf on the former island Marken, Netherlands, is not even a tiny village, but only a bunch of little wooden houses next to each other. It is located a few hundred meter next to the village Marken, which is a major touristic attraction. Therefore Rozewerf is usually not so crowded with tourists as the village Marken. The beautiful Dutch landscape with the beach along the dike to the lighthouse, the indescribable changeable skies over the IJsselmeer and the rest on the authentic island enrapture you. Look at the thousands of geese flying in the background. At this time of year they are easy to find in Waterland.
In Noord-Holland vind je het schiereiland Marken. Het voormalige vissersdorp is een toeristische trekpleister. De karakteristieke houten huizen op palen, de opvallende klederdracht en de haven en dijk trekken vele bezoekers aan. Wanneer je wilt bekijken hoe een vroegere Marker vissersfamilie geleefd heeft, breng je een bezoek aan het Marker Huisje. In het huisje vindt je allerlei prenten, voorwerpen en klederdracht van de oude Markenaren. In het Marker Museum kom je nog meer te weten over de geschiedenis van het dorp. De Rozewerf is een buurtschap gelegen net ten zuiden van Grotewerf. Rozewerf is van oorsprong een terp, dat een werf wordt genoemd. Deze terp is niet vernoemd naar de kleur maar meer dan waarschijnlijk naar de persoon of familie Roos of Rozen, die de eigenaar of aanlegger is geweest van de werf. Net als de andere ten noorden van Rozewerf gelegen werven stammen de meeste huizen uit de 18e en 19e eeuw. In de loop van de tijd zijn deze wel flink verbouwd. Rozewerf kent net als Grotewerf nog het meest oorspronkelijke uiterlijk van deze oude bewoning waardoor het nog de karakteristieke en monumentale panden heeft. De huizen van Rozewerf staan ook erg dicht op elkaar, er is smalle doorgang door het buurtschapje. Rozewerf ligt echt maar net aan de dijk die het beschermt van het water, ooit de Zuiderzee thans het Markermeer. Het gebied rondom Rozewerf stond ook regelmatig onderwater nadat het aan zee kwam te liggen. Uiteindelijk werd een lage dijk aangelegd waardoor er alleen bij wat grotere stormen water oversloeg. Sinds de aanleg van de Afsluitdijk heeft men daar ook geen last meer van. Wel heeft men last van het kruiende ijs in de winter. Daarom staan er ook ijsbrekers net buiten de dijk in het Markermeer. Er staan 12 ijsbrekers welke zijn afgeleid van de 12 apostelen. De twaalf houten ijsbrekers dateren in aanleg uit 1872. Ze zijn waaiervormig ten opzichte van elkaar gesitueerd. De ijsbrekers hebben cultuurhistorische waarde omdat deze qua verschijningsvorm authentieke en zeldzaam geworden voorbeelden zijn van ijswerende voorzieningen. De Grauwe gans, grijsbruine gans met forse oranje snavel en roze poten is hier heel veel te zien in Waterland. Duizenden ganzen vliegen altijd in V-formatie waardoor de krachtsinspanningen over de groep worden verdeeld.

The Aletschgletscher the Konkordiaplatz , the Mönch , the Trugberg and the head of the Eiger . A view from Eggishorn No, 54 .
"The Aletsch Glacier (German: Aletschgletscher) or Great Aletsch Glacier (Grosser Aletschgletscher) is the largest glacier in the Alps. It has a length of about 23 km (14 mi) (2014), has about a volume of 15.4 km3 (3.7 cu mi) (2011), and covers about 81.7 km2 (31.5 square miles) (2011) in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The Aletsch Glacier is composed of four smaller glaciers converging at Concordia, where its thickness was measured by the ETH to be still near 1 km (3,300 ft).[citation needed] It then continues towards the Rhône valley before giving birth to the Massa.
The whole area, including other glaciers is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
Der Grosse Aletschgletscher ist der flächenmässig grösste und längste Gletscher der Alpen. Er befindet sich auf der Südabdachung der Berner Alpen im Kanton Wallis, Schweiz. Die Länge des Gletschers beträgt 22,75 km[1], die Fläche einschliesslich der Quellgletscher wird mit 81,7 km² angegeben[2]. Der Aletschgletscher entwässert über die Massa in die Rhone. Die Fläche des gesamten Einzugsgebiets der Massa beträgt 195 km², wovon 1973 etwa zwei Drittel vergletschert waren.[4] Oft werden bei der Flächenangabe der Ober- und Mittelaletschgletscher einbezogen, da diese früher mit dem Grossen Aletschgletscher verbunden waren. Die gesamte vergletscherte Fläche einschliesslich dieser Gletscher betrug 1973 etwa 128 km², für das Jahr 1863 wird eine Fläche von 163 km² angenommen.
Le glacier d'Aletsch est le plus grand glacier des Alpes, situé dans le sud de la Suisse dans le canton du Valais. Il est entouré au nord par le massif de la Jungfrau, au sud par la vallée du Rhône avec laquelle le glacier communique via les gorges de la Massa, à l'est par le lac Märjelen et à l'ouest par l'Aletschhorn."

Joyau de la Bourgogne du Sud, cette imposante forteresse très bien conservée domine le Val Lamartinien.
Ce château-fort avec ses quatorze tours et son châtelet d’entrée conserve dans ses trois enceintes un ensemble de pièces médiévales et une chapelle carolingienne. Il a été bâti principalement entre le 13ème et le 15ème siècle autours de sa chapelle carolingienne.
On y trouve aussi de beaux jardins : un jardin à la française et un jardin potager. Sur les terrasses, on a une vue magnifique sur le Val Lamartinien.

La Bourgogne est belle en toutes saisons, mais c'est en automne qu'elle resplendit le plus !
Il faisait un temps idéal ce jour là pour se balader.
En sortant de la voiture, une vision irréelle de beauté m'a saisi avec émotion : un magnifique édifice roman du 11ème siècle étincelait au milieu d'une belle campagne vallonnée pleine de couleurs.
Très opportunément, un arbre d'un orange éclatant était là pour m'offrir un premier plan parfait pour la photo!

Burgundy is beautiful in all seasons, but it is in autumn that it shines most!
It was an ideal time on that day to wander around.
Leaving the car, an unreal vision of beauty caught me with emotion : a magnificent Romanesque building of 11th century sparkled in the middle of a beautiful and full of colors rolling countryside
Very timely, a bright orange tree was there to offer me a perfect foreground for the photo!

2 exposure panorama.
It is hard to imagine how ginormous these rocks are unless you can put things into perspective. The photographer on the right is my brother who is a healthy six-footer. Compare him to some people you see walking in the distance by the pines who are dwarfed by 100+ ft tall trees. Now compare these trees to the ones in the distance on the rocks. Now you get the picture.
Half Dome on the right rises nearly 5,000 ft from the valley with a peak at 8,836 ft (2,693 m) above sea level. On the left front are the Royal Arches ending with Washington Column on the right and North Dome in the back. Between the two rock formations run Tenaya Creek and Mirror Lake.
