These mountains in the Las Vegas area consist of very dark soil and scrub and are therefore called the Black Hills. At the very top are Cell Phone and other tall Towers. I do not know what the dark blue patches are; maybe from the sky above as it was a very blue sky day and sunny. It is probably shadow which shows up brightly as there were also clouds in the sky.

After a good day of hiking and shooting waterfalls, I had to stop and take some final shots of the ice-covered forest along the road
Final picture in this series, thought blue light (which was actually white LED flashlight from the back) looked nice and I like the shadows cast by the paper on the surface.
Exactly 6 years ago. It was really cold (about -30 °C) and the sky was totally blue! This turns the shadows into a blue world;-)

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. Robert Frost
In the cold evening, I walk a narrow path of snow. The meadow stands quiet, like an old choir holding its breath. The sun is bright, and the light is gold. It touches the blue shadows and makes them soft.
My steps are the only sound. Each print behind me is a small memory. Ahead, the path is clean, like a page I have not written. I think about how winter is honest. It shows the shape of things. It keeps only what matters. The trees look simple, but they hold long stories. The light feels warm on my face, even while the air stays sharp.
There is no hurry here.
Time is slow, and I can hear my own heart.
Walking alone does not mean being empty. It can be a gentle meeting with myself.
The forest is a quiet friend.
The sun is a kind guide.
In this calm, I understand: every journey is made of small steps, and peace grows where we choose to look.

Pink Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa forbesii) leaning out of the cool blue shadows. From early April a couple of years ago. Just a solid, frozen covering of snow here with no Spring buds in sight...yet. :)
The view west, as a winter sun goes down on the old Pontiac. Frequent visitors to these pages will be familiar with the 1939 Pontiac that I've been photographing for the past decade. There it lies. End of what road? (Answer: The road lies behind me, but shhh, don't tell anyone!) My favourite old prairie relic.

A farmyard winter scene, taken on 11 January 2014, when I went with a group on a birding outing, east of the city. Can't remember exactly where it was taken, just "somewhere" east of Calgary. Well, they did say that this winter would be a long, hard one, and how right they were! We must have had about four months of it already and it is getting way beyond monotonous. On 11 January 2014, I woke up to find an overcast sky and everywhere covered in a freshly fallen blanket of snow. People had been so busy clearing their driveways the day before and the snow was beginning to melt a little. The next day, they started all over again.
The 11th January was a day of reasonably nice weather and I spent the whole day with a group of friends, driving the backroads east of the city. Can't remember if this photo was taken before or after we had, within just a very short time, sunshine, cloud, freezing rain and snow, lol. There was quite an ominous build-up of dark cloud for a while, too, like a solid, black wall. As so often is the case these days, there were very few birds to be found - mainly Magpies, ha. This made the one Great Horned Owl and the one Snowy Owl extra special! If I remember correctly, we saw the Great Horned Owl where the photo above was taken.
The leading car had three superb birders in it and I found it rather amusing that they didn't notice the Snowy Owl sitting on a close fence post until they had reached it and it flew. I think by then, everyone's eyes had been trained to search the distant fields, rather than look close. The snow is SO deep out there and with the recent milder temperatures, the surface would have melted a little and then frozen again to form a crust, making it too difficult for the owls to find rodents at ground level. In so many places, as in this photo, just the tips of fence posts were visible, showing how deep the snow was. Out in the rural areas, everywhere looked so pure and clean, but within the city, the roads are edged with great heaps of dirty, brown snow.
By the end of the day, most people had already left to return to Calgary. The driver of the one remaining car, in which I was riding, was given directions to get back home, as none of us know the area east of Calgary very well. It seemed clear, but when we got to the road that was supposed to take us on to a major highway, we discovered that it, instead, went into a residential area. We were lost, hopelessly lost, and it took us a long time to eventually find ourselves somewhere familiar. Val, you did an amazing job of driving three of us for the whole day and then having to try and get us all back to the city in one piece! Thanks so much! I'm just SO thankful that it wasn't me who was driving. Terry, thanks for another great trip east of the city - always enjoyable, even if the birds don't always cooperate quite how we would like : ) We all know that if they had been there, with your skill, you would have found them.
The following excellent, detailed report for the day is by trip leader, Terry Korolyk, and added with thanks:
"Nineteen birders showed up for today's Field Trip east of Calgary searching for various species of birds. Participants saw some unusual waterfowl species for Winter at Elliston Park in southeast Calgary. Amongst the Canada Geese; Mallards, and, Common Goldeneye, birders saw 5 Hutchinson's subspecies Cackling Geese and another Cackler that may have been a Taverner subspecies bird. This is probably the most Cacklers that have been recorded in our area in Winter since the species was split from Canada Goose a few years back. Also there were 3 male Hooded Mergansers, one of our more sought after Winter waterfowl species.
A stop at Weed Lake at Langdon in the afternoon found the hybrid male GADWALL-NORTHERN PINTAIL and one male and 2 female Mallards still at their patch of water there. The overwintering male Northern Pintail was still amongst the Mallards and Canada Geese at the Hamlet of Shepard in the late afternoon.
Weather was good until 2:00 P.M. when a cold front challenged us on the prairie southeast of Langdon. Eighty-100 km/hour winds made it impossible to scope at Weed Lake and I had to use the binoculars from inside the car. I will post a photo of the Front in my album when I get a chance as it was rather striking.
As mentioned, the deep hard snow made it difficult finding birds. We found one 1st. year Snowy Owl at the southwest corner of Eagle Lake; saw 2 Great Horned Owls (one on the snow in the middle of the day); found one flock of 5-6 Gray Partridge; saw 1 Ring-necked Pheasant and saw a flock of 10 Horned Larks on Highway 564 east of Highway 9. We saw 2 Rough-legged Hawks, one an adult male north of the Cattleland Feedlots north of Strathmore and saw a Merlin and a Downy Woodpecker in Shepard.
The cold front moved through quickly and the day ended with temperatures as warm as 8 degrees."
Taken 28 Jan, 2007 on the shore of Gulf of Bothnia, north of Oulu.
Incredible scenery? A lot of snow on the shore , cold, frost winter evening, red sunlight, blue shadow, I was there by chance and of cource photoshop. But this pic is very very realistic. It was exciting experience! And you can see here my vision of this position.
