This picture’The falling leaves’ was taken at one of the corners street next to my home - Winter 2019
During my very short winter visit to Glacier National Park five years ago, every single day I visited Lake McDonald, this was pretty much what I'd see (or not see, depending upon your point of view). The matte view did not dissipate until around noon time. After that, it would be clear as a bell and I could see the mountains in the distance.
And yet, I like this somewhat bleak image. It's quiet and solitary and peaceful, and you *know* the mountains are simply hiding in the background, waiting to show up later in the day. You can see a play of light on the water and in the sky. It was, of course, freezing and in the single digits. By mid morning, it had "warmed up" from the negative temps that generally accompany a winter in northwest Montana.
I tried converting this composition to a black & white image, and it just doesn't have the same feel as this one here. In this case, I think what little color there is suits this better.
Speaking of temperatures, it's 2 degrees Fahrenheit here in my neck of the woods of central WA. According to my weather app, with the wind chill applied, it feels like -9 degrees. I don't really want to go test that feeling, although I'll have to go out when I let the dog out after her breakfast. It's supposed to be sunny and clear today, then it's supposed to be a mix of snow and rain for the next 6-7 days.

A person is standing among the ice floes on the frozen sea surface minding his own business. He doesn't seem to be noticing he's standing on the ice and over the frozen water.
Well, sorry for the depth of field... had bad settings on my camera and taked by the times to did it... :-(
"When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland"
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
It was cold with a blustery North West wind blowing today, typical for early November here.
We had a dusting of snow overnight that melted off by mid morning and late this afternoon a flock of migrating ducks settled on the pond to overnight.
There was ice in the leaves on the ground this morning from the rain we got yesterday, we can feel winters cold breath coming.

Luosto is a picturesque ski village with a surprisingly large number of accommodations. Although there are a few hotels, you'll mostly find cozy bungalows here. Luosto is nestled in the heart of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, surrounded by ancient forests, rugged gorges, and peat bogs. It's a unique piece of nature rarely seen in our part of Europe. Finnish Lapland is far to the north, so there's usually plenty of snow here. Luosto offers a stunning landscape for adventurous activities and the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Finnish wilderness. Our plan is to climb the spectacular fell (mountain). As we step out of the car, it feels like nature here is in a deep winter sleep. Our hike begins at dawn in the remote hamlet of Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland, the colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset can be very intense due to the low position of the sun on the horizon. The long twilight periods can create unique colors in the sky, including green hues, due to various scattering effects of sunlight. The trees gently bend under the weight of the snow.
We walk along the ridge of the fells of Ukko-Luosto, passing through the surrounding primeval forest. The summer path to the top is closed due to avalanche danger, so we continue our journey and attempt to reach the summit via the northern ridge of Ukko-Luosto. The path ascends steeply through the enchanting ancient forests, where the trees covered in crown snow look magical. The last section to the top of the mountain has snow too deep for us. The path winds its way to the top of Pikku-Luosto Fell. We sink in and have to crawl to the top. Snowshoes are definitely necessary here. In the impressive Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut, we can take a break, warm up, and admire the magnificent view. It's terribly cold up here on the 514-meter-high mountain, partly due to the biting polar wind. The sun reaches its highest point on this short January day and shines beautifully just over the mountain's peak. There's also a solar halo visible, an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and scattering of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere. We thaw out a bit and rest before starting our return journey. Walking in the snow is exhausting. We take the same route back because we don't want to get stuck in deep snow and aim to be back in Luosto before dark. In total, we walked more than 18,000 steps, but we enjoyed this special place in Lapland. In Luosto, we treated ourselves to delicious reindeer jerky and panna cotta, while BieJee savored a reindeer burger.
Luosto biedt een prachtig landschap voor avontuurlijke activiteiten en de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van de Finse wildernis. Ons plan is om de spectaculaire fell (berg) te beklimmen. Wanneer we uit de auto stappen, lijkt de natuur hier in een diepe winterslaap te verkeren. Onze wandeling begint bij dageraad in het afgelegen gehucht Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland kunnen de kleuren van de lucht tijdens zonsopkomst en zonsondergang zeer intens zijn door de lage stand van de zon aan de horizon. De lange schemerperiodes kunnen unieke kleuren in de lucht veroorzaken, inclusief groene tinten, door verschillende verstrooiingseffecten van het zonlicht. De bomen buigen zachtjes onder het gewicht van de sneeuw. We lopen op de rug van de fells van Ukko-Luosto langs het oerbos in de bijzondere omgeving. Het zomerpad naar de top is afgesloten vanwege lawinegevaar, dus we vervolgen onze weg en proberen de top te bereiken via de noordelijke bergkam van Ukko-Luosto. Het pad loopt steil door de betoverende oerbossen, waar de bomen bedekt met kroonsneeuw er magisch uitzien. Het laatste gedeelte naar de top van de berg is de sneeuwlaag te diep voor ons. Het pad slingert zich een weg naar de top van Pikku-Luosto Fell. We zakken weg en moeten kruipen naar de top. Sneeuwschoenen zijn hier dus echt nodig. In de indrukwekkende Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut kunnen we even bijkomen, op temperatuur komen en het magnifieke uitzicht bewonderen. Het is verschrikkelijk koud hier op de 514 meter hoge berg, mede door de strakke poolwind. De zon bereikt zijn hoogste punt op deze korte januaridag en schijnt prachtig net over de top van de berg. Ook is er een zonnehalo te zien, een optisch fenomeen dat ontstaat door de breking, reflectie en verstrooiing van licht door ijskristallen in de atmosfeer. We ontdooien nog even en rusten uit voordat we beginnen aan onze terugreis. Wandelen in de sneeuw is zwaar. We nemen dezelfde route terug omdat we niet vast willen komen te zitten in de diepe sneeuw en we in ieder geval voor het donker terug willen zijn in Luosto. In totaal hebben we meer dan 18.000 stappen gezet, maar we hebben genoten van deze speciale plek in Lapland. In Luosto hebben we onszelf getrakteerd op heerlijke rendier-jerky en panna cotta, terwijl BieJee genoot van een rendierburger.
On a cold winter day near Sande in Vestfold, Bogebukta opens toward the far end of Sandebukta, now sealed by a smooth layer of ice. Above it, a textured sky sends moving shadows sweeping across the frozen surface, creating a quiet but dynamic winter scene.
Fun fact: When a fjord or bay freezes over like this, subtle changes in cloud cover can make the light move across the ice much faster than across open water, making it perfect for dramatic timelapse sequences.

You' re Welcome!
Day 113/365
This morning was bitterly cold, but the three of us, (Sasha, Rosanna and myself) ventured out into the cold anyway! I felt incredibly mean asking Sasha to take off her lovely warm coat, but she bravely did when I asked. She put on my big long gloves and pretended she was warm!
I can't believe how much the weather can change the light and landscape - it's wonderful! I absolutely love winter now! :D
Anyway, I hope you like this! If you're interested, I just posted a new blog post on my website: How to Improve Your Photography with No Camera.

The stone barn, also known as The Frank Schott Stone Barn, located in western Minnesota, was constructed by German immigrant Frank Schott in 1923, showcasing exemplary Midwestern architectural innovation.
According to the Minnesota Historical Society's historical account, the structure's completion took nearly 20 years.
Following the collapse of the barn's wooden roof in 1993, the stone walls continue to stand.
Milford Sound is a beautiful fjord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fiordland National Park...sometimes described as The Eighth Wonder of the World.
Taken from onboard the two-story scenic cruise boat "Milford Sovereign" (capacity 300+ guests) on a cold and windy day. In the backdrop is the iconic Mitre Peak, with a couple of the similar boats (...yes can you see them?) in the photo providing an idea of the relative scale:-)
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama view of today's very cold sunset.
As the sun set today the temperature was a cool 30°F and shortly after sunset it dropped down to 26°F and now at 10:13 P.M. it's down to 19°F and the wind is blowing out of the northeast at about 7-15 mph, it's going to be a cold night.
A snow-covered alley in the bitter cold of 17°C below zero. Long icicles hang from the old house gutter, while the deep snow and quiet surroundings create a scene that feels like a memory from the 1970s. A simple winter landscape filled with nostalgia, silence, and the beauty of a forgotten time
...this favorite season is about to come to a close as the weatherman is predicting icy cold temperatures for the next several nights!
The air at 2,200 meters doesn't just feel cold; it feels incredibly alive.
Stepping out onto the wooden boardwalk of Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park, the first thing that hits you is the sheer scale of the silence. Despite the footsteps of fellow travelers shuffling along the snow-dusted planks, the surrounding Canadian Rockies seem to swallow every sound, leaving only the crisp whistle of a high-altitude breeze.
To the left, a steep, rocky face clings to the last remnants of winter snow, punctuated by hardy evergreen trees that have spent decades weathering these sub-zero heights. To the right, the world simply drops away into a dense, dark ocean of pine trees, carpeted in white.
A Journey Shared
What makes this boardwalk truly special isn’t just the geography—it’s the shared human experience.
Looking down the path, you see them: a family bundled up in heavy winter gear, a child taking careful, deliberate steps on the icy boards, and hikers pausing to look back at the modern, glass-fronted Gondola summit station resting like a futuristic outpost against the rugged terrain.
In the distance, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Sundance Range stretch out like frozen waves against a dramatic, textured sky. The heavy clouds hang low, filtering the sunlight into a moody, metallic blue that makes the entire landscape feel like a living watercolor painting.
The Contrast of Warmth and Wild
Walking this ridge line is a lesson in contrasts. You are only a few hundred meters from the warmth of a hot drink inside the summit terminal, yet out here on the wooden path, you are completely at the mercy of the alpine elements. Every breath turns to mist, and every glance outward reminds you of how beautifully small we are in the grand scheme of the wilderness.
If you ever find yourself in Banff, don't just ride the gondola up to stay inside. Step out, brave the chill of the sunlit heights, and enjoy a walk along the wooden spine of Sulphur Mountain. It’s a walk you won’t soon forget.
The first snow of the season has reached the mountains above Turufjell in Hallingdal. Kristnatten rises to the right, while the higher slopes of Sørbøfjell disappear towards the left beneath a cold and heavy October sky.
With the snow line hovering around 900 metres, the landscape seems divided between two seasons. Autumn still burns in shades of ochre, rust and muted green across the lower slopes, while the higher ground has already received its first thin coat of winter white. Low clouds and drifting mist soften the distant ridges, making the arrival of winter feel almost visible as it slowly works its way down the mountainsides.
For a few autumn days, perhaps, both seasons will share the same landscape.
Fun fact: The first autumn snow in the Norwegian mountains often creates a remarkably sharp visual boundary in elevation, with white summits rising directly above vegetation that can still retain its rich autumn colours much farther down the slopes.
