Do your part. Things will not be the same tomorrow.
This year winter seems so prolonged here in Bangladesh.
Right now extreme cold wave is passing over.

Even though the wind was gusting up to 45 MPH and blowing snow like crazy, it was just another day on the farm, Highland Farms in Cornish that is.
A winter view of Pisgah National Forest in the mountains of North Carolina centers on John Rock, a lesser-known cliff formation defined by its vertical scale and exposed structure. Snow settles directly into the rock face, collecting within striations and vertical grooves that run through the cliff. Rather than obscuring the stone, the snow sharpens its lines, accentuating the monolithic form and making its geology visibly legible.
Set against the surrounding forest and distant ridgelines, the cliff reads as a singular surface—marked by erosion, time, and weather. The perspective allows the striated face to be seen without interruption, where snow traces the internal order of the rock and emphasizes its weight and permanence. Vertical channels guide the eye through the composition, turning natural fracture into rhythm.
John Rock is rarely seen from this perspective: direct, substantial, and quietly monumental—a familiar landscape offering an unfamiliar face.

A cute young Pottok Foal stands near the river stream Gave de Bious at Parc National des Pyrénées, situated 1,372 metres above sea level in the Pyrenees Mountain Range of Atlantiques, France. A foal is a young horse that is under a year old. When a foal is born it is very quickly able to stand up as well as to run - possibly in order to escape predators or to reach its mothers milk. A foal is usually weaned between 5 to 7 months old. In the wild, young foals have to be protected from predators especially when they are first born, and they would be an easy target for some predators on the mountains. There are still bears in the Pyrénées. Every animal that lives at this height in the mountain range must be well adapted to thinner air and be able to survive by its own instincts. These horses have been living in these mountains for hundreds of years and they can be quite shy animals. Young Foals grow so rapidly however that they should be able to protect themselves and run free on the mountainside within a couple of days.
We were high up in the Pyrenees at the mountain stream Gave de Bious at elevation of 1371 meter. We met these beautiful little horses named Pottok's running free along the river, 3 km from the mountain pass Portalet d'Aneu and border crossing in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain. The young Foal came running overconfident towards me at high speed! Lucky I could escape on the ridge of this bridge.
The Pottok - little horse, pronounced pot-ee-ok is a pony native to the Pyrenees of the Basque Country in France and Spain. The pottok's origins may lie as far back as 10,000 years ago. Ancient cave paintings in the area show pottok-like horses. They are thought to descend from the Magdalenian horses of 14,000 - 7,000 BC. There are now only a few hundred left and all have owners. It has small but sturdy hooves for mountain walking and adaped well to the mountain life.
Horses treks around lakes and high mountains of the Pyrénées is a great adventure. The landscape is a succession of lakes and torrents in a wild atmosphere of high mountains. During a horse trekking adventure you might be escorted by vultures and izards. It is the favourite territory for the Isard, the Marmot, the Desman, the Lammergaier. It is a world of grandiose landscapes. An area of exceptional natural heritage without barriers or fences... where animals are totally free. Let yourself be charmed too by the Pyrenees National Park.

The last sunset for 2017.
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years eve, wishing the best for all in 2018.
Sorry I have not been on Flickr lately but the extreme cold we are having here has been causing problems with our internet service.
Temperatures have been running between -27°F below at night to around 15-20°F during the day,
This first day of the New Year started off at -17°F at 7:00 A.M. and got up to 20°F around 3:00 P.M. but it did not last long and dropped back down to 9°F right after sunset.
This is one of the coldest Decembers into the New Year that I can ever remember.
We are hoping for a slight warm up next week but until then more frigid cold is expected to continue.

The Peace Monument also known as the Friendship Monument or the Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument at the Jvari Pass in Georgia is a striking structure erected in 1983 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Georgian-Russian Treaty of Georgievsk 1783. This treaty marked the beginning of a closer political and military alliance between the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti (in present-day Georgia) and the Russian Empire. Its purpose was to protect Georgia from invasions by hostile powers. The monument is built in the form of a semicircular stone structure and is located at a panoramic point along the Jvari Pass, a mountain pass on the Georgian Military Road. This area is located in the Caucasus Mountains and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The monument consists of colorful mosaics depicting scenes from Georgian history and culture, as well as the theme of peace and unity. Although the monument was intended as a symbol of friendship between Georgia and Russia, it has attracted controversy in later years due to the complex historical and political relations between the two countries, particularly after Georgia's independence in 1991 and subsequent conflicts. Today, it is seen more as a tourist attraction than a political symbol. The monument is a popular stop for travelers exploring the Georgian Military Road due to its impressive views and historical significance.
A journey from Ananuri Fort through the Jvari Pass is one of the most impressive experiences you can have in Georgia. The contrast between the colorful autumn landscapes, the sudden snow-capped mountains, and the heavy mist is breathtaking and feels almost magical. The journey begins with the warm colors of autumn surrounding the historic Ananuri Fort. As you continue along the Georgian Military Road, nature slowly begins to change. The colorful forests gradually make way for bare mountain slopes, and the fresh mountain air becomes more noticeable. As you get closer to the Jvari Pass, the first signs of snow begin to appear. The peaks of the mountains seem sprinkled with sugar, and the temperature drops noticeably. As you ascend further, heavy mist starts to envelop the surroundings. The visibility becomes limited, and the world feels suddenly isolated and mysterious. Upon reaching the Jvari Pass, you arrive at the Peace Monument, where the mist hangs like a thin veil over the landscape. The colorful mosaics of the monument contrast beautifully with the white snow and the gray fog. The view from here, though partially obscured, is stunningly serene. The snow-capped peaks, frozen rivers, and icy air create an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Photo of a summer classic frozen in time, resting under a blanket of snow! A serene moment where snow transforms a simple chair into a winter sculpture!
Het Peace Monument ook bekend als het Friendship Monument of het Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument bij de Jvari-pas in Georgië is een opvallend bouwwerk dat in 1983 werd opgericht om het 200-jarige jubileum van het Georgisch-Russische Verdrag van Georgievsk 1783 te herdenken. Dit verdrag markeerde het begin van een nauwere politieke en militaire alliantie tussen het Koninkrijk Kartli-Kachetië (in het huidige Georgië) en het Russische Rijk. Het doel was om Georgië te beschermen tegen invallen van vijandige mogendheden. Het monument is gebouwd in de vorm van een halfronde stenen structuur en bevindt zich op een panoramisch punt langs de Jvari-pas, een bergpas op de Georgische Militaire Weg. Dit gebied ligt in het Kaukasusgebergte en biedt spectaculaire uitzichten op de omliggende bergen en valleien. Het monument bestaat uit kleurrijke mozaïeken die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en cultuur uitbeelden, evenals het thema van vrede en eenheid. Hoewel het monument bedoeld was als symbool van vriendschap tussen Georgië en Rusland, heeft het in latere jaren controverse opgeroepen vanwege de complexe historische en politieke relaties tussen de twee landen, met name na de onafhankelijkheid van Georgië in 1991 en de daaropvolgende conflicten. Tegenwoordig wordt het meer gezien als een toeristische trekpleister dan als een politiek symbool. Het monument is een populaire stop voor reizigers die de Georgische Militaire Weg verkennen vanwege het indrukwekkende uitzicht en de historische betekenis. Een reis van Ananuri Fort door de Jvari Pass is één van de meest indrukwekkende ervaringen die je in Georgië kunt hebben. Het contrast tussen de kleurrijke herfstlandschappen, de plotseling met sneeuw bedekte bergen en de zware mist is adembenemend en voelt bijna magisch. Foto van een strandstoel bevroren in de tijd, rustend onder een deken van sneeuw! Een sereen moment waarop sneeuw een simpele stoel transformeert in een wintersculptuur.
In this image the sun was just off to the left of the scene, backlighting the trees with a warm glow. The other part of the sky was blue with a hint of the mist that was still in the air - slowy being burned away by the sun. All I've done is accentuate the blueness a tad.

The general term ice age or, more precisely, "glacial age" denotes a geological period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in an expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. There have been at least four major ice ages in the Earth's past. Outside these periods, the Earth seems to have been ice-free even in high latitudes. There is evidence that greenhouse gas levels fell at the start of ice ages and rose during the retreat of the ice sheets, but it is difficult to establish cause and effect (see the notes above on the role of weathering). Greenhouse gas levels may also have been affected by other factors which have been proposed as causes of ice ages, such as the movement of continents and vulcanism. Although the last glacial period ended more than 8,000 years ago, its effects can still be felt today. For example, the moving ice carved out landscape in Canada, Greenland, northern Eurasia and Antarctica. The erratic boulders, till, drumlins, eskers, fjords, kettle lakes, moraines, cirques, horns, etc., are typical features left behind by the glaciers.
This is the Marken lighthouse, given its name due to its shape ('paard' means 'horse' in dutch). The original was built in 1700, then reconstructed on top of the early foundations in 1839. It's still in use today.
Photo of hummocks taken at the lighthouse of Marken. A red airplane flew pretty low around the lighthouse to enjoy the view of the sea of ice. A hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field, Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period.
Een ijstijd of glaciatie is een geologisch tijdvak waarin ijskappen voorkomen. In het Engels wordt dit een periode van ice-house genoemd, als tegenhanger van een ijskaploze periode, de greenhouse ("broeikas"). Aangezien er gletsjers liggen op bijvoorbeeld Groenland of Antarctica, leven we tegenwoordig in een ijstijd. Men neemt aan dat dit in de gehele geologische geschiedenis van de Aarde minstens vijfmaal het geval is geweest, waarvan eenmaal zelfs zo sterk dat de ijskappen van de polen vrijwel tot aan de evenaar waren opgerukt. Ook zijn er periodes dat er aanzienlijke opwarming optrad waarbij die ijskappen grotendeels waren weggesmolten. Het klimaat op Aarde wordt beïnvloed door vele factoren, zoals de intensiteit van de zonnestraling, de ligging van de continenten, de continentverplaatsingen, vulkanisme, de zeestromen, de bedekking van het land door vegetatie, het weerkaatsingsvermogen van het aardoppervlak en vele kleine andere factoren. Met behulp van klimaatmodellen wordt door wetenschappers een reconstructie van het klimaat en de klimaatveranderingen in het verleden gemaakt. Alhoewel er een zekere consensus bestaat onder wetenschappers, zijn er nog vele onzekerheden en tegenstrijdigheden in dit onderzoek.
Hierboven een foto van kruiend ijs. Zoetwatermeren kunnen spectaculair bevriezen. Grotere meren zoals het IJsselmeer (IJmeer) hierboven hebben bijna altijd wel golven, en dit werkt directe bevriezing van het wateroppervlak tegen. Eerst vormen zich kleine ijsschotsen, die naar de kust drijven onder invloed van de wind. Deze schotsen vormen zo een ijsveld op het water dat de golven dempt, en uiteindelijk vriezen alle schotsen aan elkaar vast tot een massa. Voordat dit gebeurt schuren de schotsen voortdurend langs elkaar heen en schrapen zo stukjes ijs van elkaar af; elke schots krijgt zo een witte rand. Zulk ijs is dus totaal niet geschikt om op te schaatsen. Wanneer grotere delen van het meer bevriezen beginnen de platen, die soms een paar vierkante kilometer groot zijn, langzaam tegen elkaar te bewegen onder invloed van de wind en stroming. Dit heeft kruiend ijs tot gevolg: de ijsschotsen worden met kracht gebroken en op elkaar gestapeld langs de dijken langs het meer. Dit hoeft niet alleen bij dun ijs te gebeuren; soms kruit het ijs bij een dikte van meer dan 20 cm. De stapels ijs worden dan hoog, en het geluid is oorverdovend. Het Paard van Marken is een vuurtoren van Marken. De vuurtoren is gebouwd in 1839 en staat op de oostelijke punt van het eiland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 16 meter en een lichtbereik van 16,7 km.
Goodbye to warm weather and my final pack of 779 -
Self portrait for Save Polaroid .
I love that I see a different world
when I look through the viewfinder of my SX-70...
It's my portal to a parallel universe -
one that's bathed in a glowy warmth
and where captured slices of time exist
only in square(ish) format.
Each exposure is different;
like snowflakes,
no two are ever alike.

The Winter Sentinel: A Red Squirrel’s Survival
This evocative series of photorealistic images captures the resilient and enchanting life of a red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) amidst a pristine, snow-covered winter forest. The collection showcases a masterclass in cinematic lighting, blending wide-angle vistas of frozen pine woodlands with intimate, high-detail macro shots. Each frame reveals the intricate textures of the squirrel’s russet fur, delicate frost-tipped whiskers, and expressive dark eyes.
From the dynamic energy of a mid-air leap through powdery snow to the quiet, focused moments of foraging for pine cones on ice-dusted branches, the series highlights the ethereal beauty of nature’s struggle against the elements. The use of shallow depth of field and soft, golden-hour sunlight creates a magical atmosphere that celebrates the spirit of woodland wildlife in sub-zero temperatures.

A selfie of me observing Mars, the bright reddish star at top, from home on January 4, 2023, with Mars then still bright a month after opposition. The waxing gibbous Moon is the bright object at left. The Pleiades are above Mars; the Hyades and Aldebaran are below Mars. Orion and Sirius are rising in the background below. The telescope is the Starfield Optics Gear115 on the Astro-Physics Mach1 mount.
This could be useful for illustrating an article on cold weather observing! Though it was a pleasant -5° C this night and no wind.
This is a focus blend of two exposures, one focused on me, and one on the sky, both 4 seconds at f/4 with the TTArtisan 21mm lens on the Canon R5 at ISO 1600.
Snow is forecast but so far no sign of any. It sure seems cold enough though.
Shot in Southport's Hesketh Park @ approx. 3PM this afternoon.
Photo taken 01.16.24. In Texas, it's not often that ponds start to ice up. It's been cold for several days now. The temperatures have ranged from the low teens to mid 20s. That's just cold enough to put a thin layer of ice around a few of the banks. Photo copyright Clif Bosler 2024
These photos were taken in central Hokkaido near Biei during a winter snowfall. At this moment, the landscape simplifies to a few key elements: snow, sky, gentle slopes, and sparse trees. I was drawn here by the balance of openness and structure. The hills look like soft horizontal layers, while individual trees or small groups subtly define the space without overwhelming it. The snowfall further blurs the scene, reducing contrast and compressing depth.
Practically speaking, it was very cold. Snow kept falling on the lens, and at one point, the camera froze onto the tripod head. It's not dramatic, just a reminder that these peaceful images were shot in tough conditions.
This is part of an ongoing series exploring how winter changes both the landscape and the experience in Hokkaido.
