Recent holiday in Gran Canaria - had a go at taking several images several minutes apart in a Panorama - looking to get the cool light into the warm capturing texture in the dunes - pretty pleased with the outcome.
Really cold - all the cars had thick white sparkly coats, and the meadow was monochrome. The frost took a while to melt, even when the sun came out (and it did, we had another day of clear blue skies).
The crystals looked so clean and pure.I saw icicles on the banks leading down to the falls, as thick as my arm.

"Cold Duck" (Kalte Ente) is the name of a wine-based bottled drink of German origin. *
At least two of these three ducks do indeed look really cold. Nonetheless, an increasing number of ducks now stay here in our area in winter rather than migrating south.
They are riding out turbulent winter flooding on the Swiss stretch of the ordinarily placid River Wiese. It is a Swiss tributary of the Rhine.
* COLD DUCK (Kalte Ente):
Cold Duck wine-based bottled drinks are sold in the USA and other places, but the origin is German.
It is a fun story.
From:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Duck
"The recipe was based on a German legend involving Prince Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony ordering the mixing of all the dregs of unfinished wine bottles with Champagne. The wine produced was given the name Kaltes Ende ("cold end" in German), until it was altered to the similar-sounding term Kalte Ente meaning "cold duck".[1] The exact recipe now varieswinter, but the original combined one part of Mosel wine, one part Rhine wine with one part of Champagne, seasoned with lemons and balm mint."
Location: River Wiese, Basel City BS Switzerland.

It was cold in Philly today, misery inducing cold. Finding this brought a stupid smile to my face, after which, I did not feel the cold as much anymore.
This is what -28F looks like! We're getting our first cold snap of the winter here in Fairbanks.
But it's also the alpenglow time of year when the sunlight turns everything to a reddish glow.

I think this is the last of this series.
Thanks for all your wonderful comments. Now I will let her come in and warm up for spring ;-)
According to Eddie Garcia, Meteorologist with KOB4 in Albuquerque, NM: "Hold onto your hats! A backdoor cold front will move in Thursday and could bring canyon winds and showers to New Mexico.
You may want to bring a rain jacket if you go to the New Mexico State Fair. Temperatures will cool down some with this."
They did. We awoke Friday morning to 59 degrees.
A backdoor cold front occurs when the clockwise motion around a high-pressure system pulls in colder air toward the south and west of it, in this case resulting in a line of clouds just above the 10k' elevation in which the mountain pushes warm air up into cooler regions.
This is an HDR image cobbled together from six frames of three exposures each for a total of 18 frames. Photoshop Merge to Panorama was used to stitch the images. A double-click on the image will take you closer to the mountain and reveal more details.
She stares out the window
waiting for the sun to reach her
but there is no sun today
She waits in vain
admiring the hanging lemons
glimpses of sun outside the glass
She stands near the stove
warm liquid boiling
socked feet on the cold floor
She is craving something
To warm her outside
Shivers
She has nothing left to give
everything is promised
to someone else
It's the most wonderful time
when we have something to give
She doesn't
She stares out the window
waiting for the sun to reach her
but there is no sun today
A warm surprise in cold weather.

It's early on the morning of January 2nd 2026. L591's crew was already hard at work cleaning the backlog of cars accumulated in the yard since Christmas cancellations. With only one working cab heater aboard GTW 6226 and minus 4 degree Fahrenheit winter trying to fill up the already cold cab thru every holes and cracks, heavy winter coat and hat are mandatory in cab that day as showing by engineer trainee S.P.
Outside, sub-zero temperature and the ever-present windchill kept the ground crew quite busy dealing with rock-solid air hoses, frozen angle cock along with switches.
You bet S.P feel quite lucky escaping an another winter working the ground and filling up the right hand seat, up toward the spring season.

The unseasonable cold is lasting a long time. When it doesn't get above freezing during the day, it seems like the warmth gets leeched out of everything. The heaters run constantly. Everything becomes dryer and dryer. You have to use lotions to keep moisture in your skin. I really have to bundle up to do my Zwift ride in the garage. The birds are doing better than I am. 😊

I wanted to try something a bit different here, so this is a shot of the incredibly hot Wadi Rum desert in Jordan that has been slightly tweaked in post processing to "cool" the image a bit.
Let me know what you think.

A cold, frosty morning on Christmas Eve. I spotted these sheep near Water Yeat in the Crake Valley and had to pull over to get a shot with the morning mist hanging in the valley bottom, back lit by the golden morning sun.
