The long awaited cold frost has finally begun, On 2th of March 2018 we could skate. This time we enjoyed the natural ice at the National Park Weerribben-Wieden. The ice near the Weerribben-Wieden is just perfect for skating. Approximately 8 cm thick. The ice is hard and smooth and the wind of the last few days did blow the snow away. It's beautiful natural ice in the pretty surroundings of the National Park Weerribben-Wieden. A swamp, with vast frozen lakes, grasslands and an unprecedented wild bird wealth. Our tour was from Kalenberg and back to our starting point at Ossenzijl. In spite of the cold wind it was wonderful to skate on this sunny day. With its many waterways and ditches, the nature reserve is just like a fairytale. We are glad we went to the Weerribben-Wieden, it was fantastic.
Today 2th of March 2018 we got the opportunity to go ice skating on real ice instead of going to an ice rink. Inspite of the extreme wind chill warning and Real-Feel temperatures expected to around -12C, we decided to go skating at the National Park Weerribben-Wieden. These waterways in the winter are a real skater’s paradise.
Na een paar nachten matige vorst konden we op 2 maart 2018 schaatsen op de waterwegen van de Weerribben. Op een sloot in Ossenzijl, aan de rand van de Weerribben, ligt 8 centimeter ijs. Net genoeg voor schaatsliefhebbers om de ijzers onder te binden ondanks waarschuwingen dat het ijs nog niet overal betrouwbaar is. Er kan heerlijk kilometers geschaats worden tussen de gemaaide rietlanden. Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden is het grootste laagveenmoeras van West-Europa. Het ijs is redelijk goed en glad en door de wind van de afgelopen dagen ligt er geen sneeuw meer op. Het is genieten op het natuurijs in de prachtige omgeving. Een moerasbos, met uitgestrekte bevroren plassen, woeste graslanden en een ongekende vogelrijkdom. Onze rondtocht ging van Ossenzijl tot Kalenberg. We zijn blij dat wij geweest waren, het was fantastisch. Met zijn vele vaartjes, trekgaten en sloten is het natuurgebied in deze tijd net een sprookje. Ook staan er verscheidene koek-en-zopie kraampjes aan de routes die het heel gezellig maken.

Lombard street, a.k.a. "World's crookedest street" as they call it. Lombard street is a street in San Francisco, California and although it spans from Presidio all the way down to Embarcadero it is famous for a very specific portion of it: a steep downhill one block section with 8 (!) hairpin turns within 160 meters between Hyde and Laevenworth street. Unfortunately I couldn't find a decent spot to capture it perfectly but if you take a look at the photo you will notice that the cars that drive down Lombard street have very different directions. Lombard street sits on the side of the Russian hill and the fact that roughtly 2.000.0000 people per year visit it makes it is a very popular tourist attraction among San Francisco's sights. During busy summer weekends it is estimated that cars wait up to 20 minutes just to drive down the crooked part of Lombard street
Lombard Street, γνωστή και ως "η πιο στριφτη οδος τους κοσμου". Η οδός Lombard ειναι ενας δρομος που βρισκεται στο San Francisco της California και παροτι εκτεινεται απο την περιοχή Presidio εως το παραθαλάσσιο Embarcadero ειναι γνωστή για ενα πολυ μικρο κομματι της: ενα αποτομο κατηφορικο τμημα μηκους 160 μετρων με 8 αποτομες στροφες μεταξυ των οδων Hyde και Laevenworth. Δυστυχως δεν μπορεσα να βρω καποιο αλλο σημειο και να τραβηξω τη φωτογραφια καλυτερα ωστε να φαινονται οι στροφες, αν παρατηρησετε ομως τα αμαξια που κατεβαινουν το δρομο θα δειτε οτι λογω των 8 καμπυλων εχουν πολυ διαφορετικες τροχιες. Η οδος Lombard βρισκεται σε μια πλευρα της περιοχης Russian Hill και το γεγονος οτι δεχεται περιπου 2 εκατομμυρια επισκεπτες το χρονο την καθιστουν απο τα πιο δημοφιλη αξιοθεατα του San Francisco. Κατα τη διαρκεια των σαββατοκυριακων του καλοκαιριου υπολογιζεται οτι τα αυτοκινητα μπορει να περιμενουν μεχρι και 20 λεπτα για να κατεβουν αυτο το στριφογυριστο κομματι του δρομου.
"Much have I traveled in the realms of gold,

The Sphinx, Recorded By Edgar-Allan-Poe-Not -
I don’t know what it is about the dimly lit forest that brings me back, time and time again. Maybe I’m wedded to the thrill of toppling over accidental astonishments. On a late Sunday afternoon, I felt the presence of a shadowy stalker in the darkest regions of the woods. We both seem to be on the same path heading to the same destination. Why is that? Pretending that I’m unaware, I slinked one foot briskly ahead of the other and tested by walking in circles instead of straight lines. The unwanted company followed suit and halted whenever I paused. This instant, my sixth sense confirms someone or something is trailing my shoeprints. Catching my breath beneath the low branches where tall grass grows, the soft flutter of wings get bigger. An entity definitely was in the background flitting from tree to tree. It wasn’t a copter drone sent by the National Security Agency for sure. If the lurker chased a wee bit harder I would be within reach. Frozen in fright, my legs were pushed to take flight. I run, run and run. As with any nightmare, you sprint but never speed an inch from where you stand. Disastrously, my pursuer so close finally overtook and reined right in front. In a state of panic, my fingers fumbled to click the camera’s skylight to kill whatever is before me. Eeeek! In the first second, my lenses directly perceived a hideous imp with acute panda ears. The face without eyes let fly a baleful glare that dared me to return his stare. Its devilish grin was so wide, I could be wolfed down alive. In an old voice cruel and flat, he mouthed a monotonous mock, “Monsters don’t live under the bed but inside your head. Cat…! Cat…! Cat…!” Coming next, my pumping heart shudders at the subject caught… oh, I was just viewing a secretive moth with cryptic markings inked on Pepsi-Cola wings!

I'm pretty sure, he will not join the concert. But why?
This photo is not intended in the artistic or aesthetic sense. I also do not want to capitalize on the suffering of others. I'm asking why he can not attend a concert.
Das Photo ist nicht im künstlerischen oder ästhetischen Sinne gedacht. Ich möchte auch kein persönliches Kapital aus dem Leid anderer schlagen. Ich stelle mir die Frage, warum er nicht ein Konzert besuchen kann.

What should I say, my dear friends - I had 5 wonderful sunsets and 5 sunrises on my short trip from Las Vegas to California and back - and each of them was so beautiful and special to me...and I am so thankful that I could watch this all. And I am also very pleased by your great comments - that is a bit as if you would have accompanied me on my trip - many many thanks!!
I took this photo during my second visit of Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes on my way back to Las Vegas...and it was...see by your selves...
- at 5 am...originally alt home I wanted to go there to start with taking pictures of the stars - but that was definitely the wrong time - it was fullmoon :-) so I switched from stars to moon...I walked about a mile to reach the first dunes - nobody there - no footprint at all - pure virgin nature - and because of the full moon I didn't even need my headlamp. It was so beautiful and I tried to avoid making unnecessary footprints...it felt as if I would destroy this beauty and so I took care as much as I could. The dunes here were not high, maybe up to 20 feet but that really didn't matter - the ripples and textures in the light and shadow of the moon just flashed me...and if you zoom in you also can see some stars :-)
Was soll ich sagen, meine lieben Freunde - ich hatte 5 wundervolle Sonnenaufgänge und 5 wundervolle Sonnenuntergänge auf meiner kurzen Tour von Las Vegas nach Kalifornien und zurück - und jeder einzelne davon war wunderschön und ganz einzigartig für mich - und ich bin so dankbar dafür, dass ich das alles sehen konnte. Und ich freue mich umso mehr über Eure tollen Kommentare...das ist ein wenig so, als hättet Ihr mich auf meiner Tour begleitet...ganz herzlichen Dank dafür!
Ich habe dieses Foto während meines zweiten Besuchs von Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes auf meinem Weg zurück nach Las Vegas gemacht ... und es war ... seht selbst ...
- um 5 Uhr in der Früh ... ursprünglich, daheim, wollte ich dorthin, um vor dem Sonnenaufgang die Sterne zu fotografieren - aber das war definitiv die falsche Zeit - es war Vollmond :-) also wechselte ich von Sternen zu Mond ... Ich ging etwa eine Meile, um die ersten Dünen zu erreichen - niemand dort - überhaupt keinen Fußabdruck - reine unberührte Natur - und wegen des Vollmonds brauchte ich nicht einmal meine Stirnlampe. Es war so schön und ich versuchte unnötige Fußspuren zu vermeiden ... es fühlte sich so an, als würde ich diese Schönheit zerstören und so passte ich auf, so gut ich konnte. Die Dünen hier waren nicht hoch, vielleicht bis zu 5-6 Meter, aber das war wirklich egal - die Wellen und Texturen im Licht und Schatten des Mondes hatten mich in ihren Bann gezogen ...und wenn ihr reinzoomt, dann könnt ihr auch noch ein paar Sterne sehen :-)

Autumn.
This landscape was until October 24 and then winter was coming in southern Finland: 20 cm snow, freezing wind... I hate this weather. It's colder than usual for this time of year. Fortunately, today it's +6C and the snow melted in Helsinki. But it's raining now and gloomy weather.

The original wooden church.
The church was burned by Swedes in 1581, restored in 1582. A new wooden one-domed church with a detached bell tower was built in 1630, a new warm part with side-chapels was built up in 1874.

Fortune-telling on a daisy...
You can probably remember picking the petals off a daisy at some point and reciting the popular words: “He loves me, he loves me not” (or she). Daisies in general are known to represent innocence, loyal love and simplicity.

Dynamic Paris at sunset.
Canon DPP stripped off the exif while merging the hdr files, so I made another HDR fusion and blent with the one you are seeing now.
I couldn't help myself to push the colors button and brought the details of the lights in every corner and at the same time I tried to treat the sky and water in a harmonious way possible.
Hope you like it!
I'm not going to kill everyone's mood with the King of Leon song below, I just find it beautiful.

Bajada Loop, Saguaro National Park, Arizona
What surprised me during my first visit to the Sonoran desert in southern Arizona was how green it was compared to the Mojave desert in southern California.
Here on the left are the iconic saguaro cacti, found only in the Sonoran desert. Most of these are relatively mature saguaros with arms, although there is short, armless younger saguaro in the foreground.
An ocotillo (pronounced o-kuh-TEE-yo) dominates the center with its slender, whiplike, thorny branches. Whenever it rains enough, the ocotillos grow small leaves and red flowers, both of which then drop off as the memory of that rain fades. An ocotillo can go through several of these deciduous cycles during a year, depending on rain patterns.
Smaller cacti in this image include prickly pear with their flat round, thorny pads and buckthorn cholla (pronounced CHOY-yuh) with their cylindical thorny segments.
It was raining heavily, when we reached the Fjord and saw the wreck of the fishing ship. Mjóifjörður, Iceland, 2015.
