Out for a very cold hike on New Years Day 2018. The Hudson's tide was low and I could walk out to the terminus of the the Cedar Flats Brook...Formerly Florus Falls during the time of the Revolution. This is the spot where "Mad" Anthony Wayne's men marched out to attack the stony Point Battlefield on the night of July 15-16 1779. The mad.
Only an hour earlier the men, concentrated at Springsteel's farm a mile or so away, were told their mission...attack Stony Point at midnight. The fort was protected by lines of abatis and was denuded of vegetation and was bristling with cannons and protected by 2 warships...and by the artillery from the fort at Verplank about 3/4 of a mile across the river.
The men were armed with bayonets only, the officers with spontoons and swords. Two groups, one from the north at Kings Ferry and one from south, Haverstraw Bay, from the Florus Falls Creek mouth would attack the abatis with axes and shovels while be covered by a group of soldiers known as the "Forlorn Hope". A third and much smaller force would attack directly east on the causeway as a ruse to draw the British fire. Wayne's men arrived at low tide and found it muddier than expected and had to slog through the water and mud, which created considerable noise and alerted the British sentries. From the western redoubt the sentries began to fire. THe colonials began to hack and chop through the abatis while gunfire began to rain down on them. The work was going slow and the harassing fire hadn't begun. The officers jumped atop the abatis and started pulling the men up and over the barriers before they were broken. The men stormed up into fire and with bayonet only took the fort. Within an hour the "impenetrable" fort fell, the ships left their moorings. Wayne's men captured any soldier who asked for quarter unlike the British at Paoli who bayoneted surrendering men. Within and hour the British guns from Stony Point were turned toward Verplank and 100 balls per hour were falling on Verplank.
Anthony Wayne was hit in the head almost as soon as the battle opened. Fearing he was mortally wounded he was carried up to the fort to congratulate the men. He was raqttled but not mortally wounded and recovered with a headache after a few days. The ball that hit him was probably spent...and he attributed his survival to the fact that he like heavy fancy hats.
It was a cold and frosty winter morning. I know it sounds like the opening line to a bad novel, but it's true. The sun peeked out from the clouds for a few minutes to brighten up this photo of a frosty tree.
Cold, dry days in Trondheim, Norway with temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F) by the canal. Waiting for snow…
Taking advantage of the early morning light I placed an inch long polished moonstone on a piece of white paper. Sunlight streaming though the stone produced a cold orange flame dispersion pattern in its own shadow. Turning the stone in different directions and planes produced some amazing patterns (to follow). Turning this mostly yellow-orange stone produces shades of green, blue, and yellow with areas of intense orange. It is in the feldspar class of minerals.
Saturday was cold and windy so I stayed in and made these two some new outfits. The sweater was crocheted a couple of weeks ago. I used a vintage pattern for Tammy. It is a little cool out so these outfits are perfect.
Around Frankfurt, there's heaps of cold war relicts. helipads, rocket batteries or, like this, an old tank training ground. I'm not sure if, in retrospect, that all should have made me feel safe or worried...

It's ever so nice to think that we're potentially only a few months away from such scenes again!

Enjoying a bonfire...cold 43 degrees.
Wishing for warmer weather by this time

Tijdens de oefening Cold Response maken de Zr.Ms. Rotterdam, Zr. Ms. Johan de Witt en een Cougar detachement samen met de bootgroep en een raidingsquadron deel uit van de Nato Response Force. Tesamen beoefenen ze met diverse landen de inzet het landen op strand, inzet met de helikopter en verschillende scenario's voor het vlootverband om te oefenen met amfibische operaties.

0°F here after -6°F a short time before plus 25-35 mph winds creating wind chills of -25-30°F. Had been even lower wind chills the day before around -30-35°F. Crazy cold! I always clear snow in our front yard and throw a lot of seed out creating a very popular 'restaurant' for dark eye juncos, sparrows, mourning doves and occasional cardinals and blue jays. Have to shoot through our slightly open front door so not much composition choice.
US pro wrestler "Stone Cold Steve Austin" before a match in the WWF (now WWE) sometime in 1997, either in Austin or San Antonio, Texas.

Slechts een paar mensen die de kou trotseren op het 's avonds zo mooi verlichte plein in hartje Krakau, de Grote Markt (Rynek Główny). Het kleine kerkje op de voorgrond is de Sint-Adalbertkerk (in het Pools beter bekend als de Kościół św. Wojciecha). Interessant feitje over deze mini-kerk: het is bijna duizend jaar oud en is daarmee één van de oudste stenen kerken van Polen.
Krakau, Polen
Only a few people who braved the cold in the evening so beautifully lighted square in the heart of Kraków, called the Main Square (Rynek Główny). The small church is called the Church of St. Adalbert, in Polish better known as the Kościół św. Wojciecha. Interesting fact: this church is almost a thousand years old and therefore one of the oldest stone churches in Poland.
Kraków, Poland
About 20 below zero when I took this shot. The dark spots are shadows created by the steam generated by the power plant half a mile up river. steam and exhaust from the homes and businesses downtown make it look grey. The polar inversion keeps the air hazy. Away from the city the air is crisp and clear. There is still open water on the river. It doesn't freeze solid in this part of Minnesota but it will be months before there is enough open water for the shipping season to start. The first barge will come through in March or April
The cold aisle in SAP's data centre in its HQ in Germany. The aisle is sealed. Cold air comes up through the perforated floor tiles and goes into the front of the servers to keep them cool.
Switzerland is having a very cold winter. Theses days, the temperature is very low and requires you to wear several layers of winter clothes to go out. especially on lakeside.
A shot from Christmas weekend in the company of the MadManc.
I attempted to give this more atmosphere witha Holga effect and mono conversion.
Canon just announced a ruggedized camera that's cold, shock, and water resistant. If I had one of those, I'd be almost tempted to do this just so I could get shots of the action from right down in it.
Pictures like this are a good argument either way.

Another shot taken on the first snow in Bucharest. This one is taken in Cismigiu park, and since it was really cold outside, really few people dared to venture out, so I tood advantage of that and found this empty alley. This cold look is fitting perfectly the shot since the trees are empty, there is snow here and there and there are alot of branches. Anyway this shot goes on my favourite list.
