Night shot of a winter cityscape. Rain falls over the streets of Tel Aviv. Black and white. Urban. City. Winter. Rain. Night. Silhouettes
Trying to find our way down Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, BC while skiing through near whiteout conditions.
Poor Little Guy. Caught Up In The Freeze Blast In Late January 2026. We Made Sure That The Wildlife Had Food, Water And Shelter. We Were Without Power For 5 Days!
Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama of our clear and cold sky this afternoon, this morning we had a low overnight temperature of 9°F and this afternoon it warmed up to 29°F.
Tonight we are expecting temperatures in the low teens and below zero by morning.
This male cardinal was perched in the pomegranate tree that was decorated with icicles from freezing rain that occurred earlier that November morning.
Merry Christmas all my friends of Flickr!!!!
Montell, Uvalde County, Texas during November 2019
Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama view from Rt-160 / North Road in Parsonsfield today, we had some mighty cold looking November clouds passing over all day driven by a strong north west wind.
I count myself extremely lucky if I am in the mountains on an overcast day. Give me all the clouds and rain, I love it! The colors are vibrant, the raindrops pool on leaves making everything sparkle and if your near a road the rain on the pavement makes all sorts of wonderful images. This was a tight curve around the mountain and would have been dangerous to stand in the middle of as there was quite a bit of traffic through this particular pass that day. So regrettably I was not able to get down low like I usually for for a road shot. Instead I hung out the window like a crazy lady. Not perfect but very satisfying. I'd rather something imperfect than nothing at all.
Bathed in the final golden light before the sun slips behind the mountains, this winter scene from Hjerdalen in Tinn, Telemark, captures the quiet drama of extreme cold. Long shadows stretch across nearly a meter of untouched snow, while frost-laden trees shimmer in temperatures close to −20°C. The valley lies frozen and hushed, shaped by light, shadow, and altitude.
Fun fact 1: On clear winter days like this, cold air and low humidity can dramatically increase visibility, making distant mountain contours appear sharper and closer than they really are.
Fun fact 2: The historic Sabotørstien (The Saboteur Trail) nearby follows the route used by the Norwegian resistance during the heavy‑water operation in 1943 — today one of the most iconic winter hikes in Telemark.
With snow and ice still falling I decided to take an adventure in my own garden. Came across this Dogwood tree bud in a perfect ball of ice. I like how this shot came through in almost a 3D effect.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama:
Well, we where back into the cold today with a high temperature of only 33°F and a north west wind that was gusting up to about 45 MPH.
Tonight's forecast is calling for snow showers this evening. Becoming clear later. Low around 5°F and Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
The last week was very cold here on West Pond and the ice has finally covered the entire pond.
The temperature got up to 33.F today so I ventured out for a few photos mid afternoon.
Note: I'm having a real hard time replying to comments, I keep getting and error message that says "We Could Not Post Your Comment",... Bad Flickr !
The temperature has been well above freezing in recent days, and it’s been raining. The snow is melting fast.
A minimalist capture of solitude amidst the rainy hustle of London. The stark contrast between the cold, grey world and the quiet silhouette of a person under an umbrella evokes a sense of introspection and calm. Sometimes, the most powerful moments are found in the simplicity of a rainy day.
It snowed for a while around noon hour, so I tried shooting some more snow. The condition was perfect. It was below -8C and not overly windy. I shot all of these on a laser disc in my garden shed and am happy with the results. This one was an experiment from from 5 stacked images.

Greenwood Avenue near Danforth. The bright yellow hydrant stood out against the falling snow and quiet winter street.
Standing against the chill.
The bronze stag (Bronzener Hirsch) keeping watch near the shores of the Groß Labenzer See in Mecklenburg. Captured on a raw, freezing day where the cold rain blurred the line between the misty lake and the dark tree line in the distance.
Rendered in high-contrast monochrome, the texture of the falling rain streaks across the frame, giving the scene a tangible, biting atmosphere. It's a quiet, isolated moment in a familiar landscape, where the static bronze figure mirrors the chill and stillness of the surrounding nature.
After Sunset, January, Denver Basin, Colorado. The geese were flying back and forth - "bending/flipping in the middle" - then quickly reversing direction in the strong winds. Apparent chaos and difficulty remaining together!
So Spring put on hold while we have some more snow, one from the last time we had snow a few weeks ago.

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 January 7, 2026, the Netherlands lies beneath a thick blanket of snow. Code Orange is in effect, and its impact is felt everywhere: flights are canceled, trains and buses barely run, and the pace of daily life slows abruptly. Streets fade into white, calendars empty, and the country is forced to downshift. Yet this weather also brings something rare. Silence. Slowness. A city that pauses to breathe. Normally, the center of Amsterdam is always just a little warmer. Because of dense buildings, traffic, and urban heat, snow rarely lingers here — wet, gray, and quickly gone. But not today. On the Bloemgracht, at the corner of the Eerste Bloemdwarsstraat, snow falls without pause. Large, soft flakes settle on the street, along the quay, and between rows of bicycles lining the water. Amid all this white, a man cycles by, unhurried. Shoulders hunched against the cold, hands steady on the handlebars. Cycling through snow demands attention: a slower pace, clean lines, trust in balance rather than speed. Where movement is usually rushed, it now becomes deliberate, careful and aware. In the distance, the Westerkerk rises — half veiled by the curtain of snow, yet unmistakably present. The city is quieter than usual. No horns, no hurried footsteps. Only the soft crunch of tires cutting through fresh snow. On this winter day, the Bloemgracht is no longer a thoroughfare, but a stage. A place where even the ordinary — a man on a bicycle — takes on something timeless. Amsterdam slows down. And remains white, just a little longer.
Snow falls steadily on the Bloemgracht, at the corner of the Eerste Bloemdwarsstraat, as a lone cyclist moves carefully through the white streets of Amsterdam. With the Westerkerk fading into the snowy background, the city slows to a quiet winter rhythm.
Op 7 januari 2026 ligt Nederland onder een dikke laag sneeuw. Code Oranje is van kracht en dat laat zich overal voelen: vluchten zijn geschrapt, treinen en bussen rijden nauwelijks en het dagelijkse tempo zakt abrupt weg. Straten vervagen tot wit, agenda’s raken leeg en het land schakelt noodgedwongen terug. Toch brengt dit weer ook iets zeldzaams. Stilte. Vertraging. Een stad die even ademhaalt. Normaal gesproken is het centrum van Amsterdam altijd net iets warmer. Door bebouwing, verkeer en stedelijke warmte verdwijnt sneeuw hier meestal snel — nat, grauw, opgelost. Maar vandaag niet. Op de Bloemgracht, op de hoek van de Eerste Bloemdwarsstraat, sneeuwt het onafgebroken. Grote, zachte vlokken blijven liggen op straat, op de kade en tussen de rijen fietsen langs het water. Tussen al dat wit fietst een man rustig voorbij. Geen haast. Schouders opgetrokken tegen de kou, handen stevig aan het stuur. Fietsen in de sneeuw vraagt aandacht: een lager tempo, vaste lijnen, vertrouwen op gevoel in plaats van snelheid. Waar normaal wordt doorgereden, wordt nu bewogen, voorzichtig en bewust. In de verte rijst de Westerkerk op — half vervaagd door het sneeuwgordijn, maar onmiskenbaar aanwezig. De stad is stiller dan anders. Geen claxons, geen haastige stappen. Alleen het zachte knarsen van banden door verse sneeuw. Op deze winterdag is de Bloemgracht geen doorgangsroute, maar een decor. Een plek waar zelfs het alledaagse — een man op de fiets — iets tijdloos krijgt. Amsterdam vertraagt en blijft even wit.
As the whole 2024 had its ups and downs,
my heart so longed for winter, knew it has to come, the nature aligned with the lives and gave us storms every now and then. and then, just as I wanted, it came, Alhamdulillah :)
I'd like to give an account of whatever happened and why I couldn't come here much -
the yr kinda started with row in a family matter
I was depressed a whole January, mostly bedridden and while missing many classes in the toughest year
I wasn't allowed to sit for some of my exams (and attended altogher later which worsened my health at the end)
there was a fire that in my building during vacation when everyone was out but I didn't go, so I caught it first saving from the spread but later got busted instead
I fell in love for the first time
I had been in love with whatever I was doing during free times, attended many surgeries.
the country had issues and we had to fight in the hospital during casualty days. I was homeless for some time and stayed with some friends and in the hospital.
I got my heart broken so many little times.
I've been bullied by toxic people in profile ground too, facing how professional life is for the first time, which worsened my health again.
I made many good friends and well-wishers too.
I learnt many skills while couldn't attend exams, so it wouldn't go to waste.
I think at the same time I was ahead of the curve and got lost.
So many in and around my life judged me and got me wrong too. Lastly I got into fight with many due to my temper and attacks, but also made amends as much as I could.
I read some great books - When breathe becomes air (written by dying neurosurgeon that I'd recommend every doc and patients to read), Man's search for meanings(written by a concentration camp survivor psychiatrist), some stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Metamorphosis, currently The midnight library.
Long story short, I survived :)
Now attending exams but weren't up to my satisfaction, and still in love :)
Winter has warmed my soul
Send my some prayers so I get rid of health issues soon, and get through these exams.
How was your year?
What are the books that you have read and loved?
How's the weather?
Sending love and well-wishes to all 💕🍂🍃

West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama view of our sunset today and ice that's been forming on West Pond over the past three days / nights.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
A few panoramas taken this afternoon of West Pond and our Mackerel Sky, it was bright and sunny today but the temperature never got over 25°F, most of the morning we where in the teens, the cold weather seems to have made a return.
Yesterday I saw that the Peak District had some snow, but that evaded us in Nottingham. Looking back to January 2021, we had quite a good covering of the white stuff and it stayed around for a day or two. During the late afternoon of the 24th, I put my boots on and went to the lock cottage and sought out some snowy compositions.
