Lighting conditions were changing fast that morning. Thus, another take on Niagara's Horseshoe Falls.
If feeding conditions is good the capacious throat sac is used to engulf whole shoals of fish. This large waterbird is often found swimming in flocks in shallow lowland lakes and river deltas. Native to south-east Europe.
Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)
Ein bisschen Regen, ein bisschen Sonne und die Natur zeigt sich mal wieder von ihrer schönsten Seite. Ich mag diese Kombination. Meine Kamera war von diesen Wetterbedingungen auch begeistert.
A bit of rain, a bit of sunshine and nature once again shows itself from its most beautiful side. I like this combination. My camera was also delighted with these weather conditions.
The Northern Lights, taken in Iceland on 24/11/2017.
Conditions on this evening were, temp -25c, wind 40mph, photo taken on a tripod being held to the ground by myself. kneeling and my partner acting as our windbreak.
30 Second exposure on ISO 800
A quick note to all who wish to photograph the Northern Lights, it is very rare that they can be seen like this with the naked eye.
Male White-winged Crossbill (Loxia leucoptera) feeding on spruce cones in the suburbs of southwest Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The spruce trees were stressed due to dry conditions this past summer and produced a large cone crop this year. This resulted in a large number of both species of Crossbills moving into Edmonton this winter to feed on the abundant food supply.

We've been told it's going to snow this weekend, but this magnolia tree is getting ready for spring with its fuzzy buds.
I've subsequently seen a wide variety of images of the landscape here in very different conditions. We just chanced upon it looking for a sunset spot just after getting off the plane. Need to re-visit in the snow!

Wonderful light conditions just after sunset, seen from the viewpoint "Mirador des Colomer", Formentor peninsula/Mallorca.

These conditions were more than I could have asked for. The drive up was terrible and muddy and my truck still has mud stuck in places 3 weeks later. In the end it was all worth it for this shoot, and this one is just the beginning!!!! Vlog this weekend!! Kris.. Vlog below…
As we came around the marina entrance, suddenly, we were surrounded by about 40 tiny sailing dinghies... the conditions were hard to row, very choppy and strong wind... fortunately the elite sailors and our cox were all competent... no harm occurred. It was very exciting to row surrounded by 40 little sailing boats.

Groynes reduce longshore transport by trapping beach material and causing the beach orientation to change relative to the dominant wave directions. They mainly influence bedload transport and are most effective on shingle or gravel beaches. Sand is carried in temporary suspension during higher energy wave or current conditions and will therefore tend to be carried over or around any cross-shore structures. Groynes can also be used successfully in estuaries to alter nearshore tidal flow patterns.
DEW POINT
The dew point is the temperature at which dew would form assuming all other conditions remained the same. The dew point is a function of the air temperature and humidy. The dew point temperature can never be higher than the air temperature. If the dew point temp and air temp are the same, than the humidity must be 100%.
The conditions were perfect to shoot Hood with the Milky Way. Lost Lake is the best, really the only place you can shoot this because the Milky Way needs to be south of the Mountain. With the clear skys and the new moon I knew there would be a few photographers there. I assumed every guy I passed from Sandy all the way to the lake who was alone in their car was probably heading to shoot this location. I was right on a few counts. I met Greg and Kenny (sorry, I did not get your last names) and the famous Gary Randall who was leading a workshop with a few other folks. I was on the water, in a line with about 7 other photographers. On my way out when I was done I did not realize there were about 10 more behind us on the hill. I had never been to Lost Lake, but I will be back again.
Someone commented on how close the galactic core was to the mountain, like it was kissing the stars. I liked the way that sounded.

'Why be a copy, when you were born an original'
three conditions are necessary for the appearance of a geyser:
* water in depth which can circulate and then rise freely (no obstacles)
° a reservoir;
* the proximity of a pocket of magma which heats the water.
It is possible to find hot springs and geysers in non-volcanic regions if the geothermal gradient is sufficient! Thus heated, the water turns into steam. The pressure increases and propels a powerful jet of water and steam to the surface. The surface orifice is generally narrow. The intensity of the forces at play explains the rarity of the phenomenon. Geysers therefore differ from simple hot springs by the underground geological structure.
Strokkur projects hot water into the air at a height of 20 meters, sometimes exceptionally up to 40 meters.

The conditions in which I was shooting in here were very dark, as it was quite early in the morning, so unfortunately I had to bump up my ISO, but I still like how this one came out.

P.S. If you zoom in on this shot, and the photo doesn't look sharp anymore, just move your cursor around a bit.
Yesterday's foggy conditions threw up some wonderful photo opportunities including this wonderful old tree in a field near some woodland I went for a walk in.
The weather conditions in Churchill were the most extreme conditions I have ever photographed in. On this day it was -2 degrees Fahrenheit which is -18 Celsius. Add to that a wind chill of minus 30. I even got an icicle on my eye lid -haha! I wouldn't have traded this experience though and the amazing sightings we had with this polar bear family :-).
Conditions were perfect: 80% chance of rain and strong winds. What could be better? For shooting osprey, nothing. Rain suit for me and my camera and a surprising a lot of other adventurous souls showed up for the show. The pelicans seemed to being doing better than the osprey, dive after dive while the osprey were out in force looking but not catching much. This one did well however, and one greedy pelican made an attempted steal. The osprey pulled up up an away!
Back from China after visiting some very photogenic places.
The conditions were not 100% when I think of some pictures that are in my mind; but we were lucky, because 2 hours after this spot began to rain.

Weather conditions improved in the late afternoon. This is a northwestward view from a hill that used to be the site for Chichijima's weather station.
The island in the left is Nishijima (西島, western island), while those in the right are Hyoutanjima (瓢箪島 gourd island), Anijima (兄島 older brother island), and Hitomarujima (人丸島).
According the climate data provided by Japan Meteorological Agency, average temperature of the coldest month in Chichijima is 18.5 degree Celsius, which means Chichijima has a tropical climate.
Annual precipitation of Chichijima is 1,296 mm, and the precipitation of the driest month is 51.6 mm, which means Chichijima has the tropical monsoon climate (Am) as compared to the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) in the Izu islands and the main island part of Tokyo.
Chichijima's climate is relatively dry judging from the Japanese standard; annual precipitation of downtown Tokyo is 1,530 mm.
This little Douglas Fir tree is about 40-50 years old. It has survived countless weather events by growing on top of a floating log in a lake on Vancouver Island. It is apparently the most photographed tree in Canada. We had not planned on visiting this iconic scene simply because so many people from around the world have tried to photograph it. Conditions have to be just right in order to separate the tree from background clutter and unless you have hip waders, there is no good vantage point to shoot this tree. We had no hip waders and very little time to wait for the right conditions. However, on our quick morning visit to see the tree on our way to our next destination, I was able to frame up this portrait with a long lens just as a bit of light hit the tree and there was a momentary stillness in the light breeze rippling the water. The background is the water with refections. It was magical to see this little survivor. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday.

I'm wishing I was out 'connecting' with nature but instead I'm connected to a computer and desk. BUT -- good news! It is Friday and I'm looking forward to some outdoor time tomorrow. Rain and 5 degrees in the forecast but those quiet early mornings are worth getting bundled up for!
Happy weekend all!!
I headed out as storms were all around us, making lighting conditions pretty poor. I only grabbed my camera because people tend to avoid such places in bad weather, and the birds seem to notice the absence of humans and behave in more relaxed ways.
I was discussing this with a fellow birder I had run into. We were noting that the woods were empty of people, and wishing each other some good birding experiences when this female dropped right down in front of us. This is not cropped. As we stared while she began excavating part of a stump just off the trail, I raised my camera.
Serendipity.
So successful was she, and so intent on food, that after a couple of minutes we were able to walk by her, and she gave a brief look as if to say ‘are you going to make me fly away?’ But we didn’t, and she didn’t, and she resumed her digging.
Of the twenty or so images I secured, almost all are blurred by the rapid-fire hammering she was engaged in. Again, as if sensing she was lower than usual and exposed, she rarely paused. I was lucky to get a couple of images when she came up for air and checked her environment.
On the bridge across the river I found these large and abundant ice crystals. A good demonstration of how cold it was above Glas Allt Falls.
My 8th bike trip sees me climbing up from Loch Muick to Glas Allt Falls in freezing but beautiful conditions.

Some lovely conditions up on the Muir in the last spate of snowy weather. Same comp as last time but much more snow.
I don't think I'm ever going to better the conditions I had the first time I went up to shoot the Boxing Gloves on Kinder Northern Edges. This time it rained for 6 of the 9 miles I was out 😁 The walk wasn't without drama. I narrowly escaped being attacked by an owl when ambling along, minding my owl business on the footpath back to the car. Only some vigourous flapping of my arms persuaded it to change course 😂
P.s. some clown knocked the OIS off on my lens. Please excuse the slight lack of sharpness!

Due to drought conditions, water is not always present at the falls. We were lucky to see a trickle coming over the cliff high above. Still pretty awesome and the area is beautiful. There are signs galore warning of potential landslides and danger, but visitors (such as myself) ventured close anyway.

Conditions for limestone pavements are created when an advancing glacier scrapes away overburden and exposes horizontally bedded limestone, with subsequent glacial retreat leaving behind a flat, bare surface. Limestone is slightly soluble in water and especially in acid rain, so corrosive drainage along joints and cracks in the limestone can produce slabs called clints isolated by deep fissures called grikes or grykes[2] (terms derived from a northern English dialect).

Horizontal snow and -28c probably not the best conditions for in flight photography. Fun to watch 3 Short-eared Owls hunt in the bitter cold though. But not for my fingers.
Winter conditions slowly take hold of the Cariboo Mountains as they remain enshrouded behind a stormy veil over Bowron Lake. In the in 1860’s the first Europeans came to the Cariboo Mountains to find their fortunes, as part of what became known as the first Cariboo Gold Rush. Originally referred to simply as “Bear Lake” it was eventually renamed Bowron Lake after John Bowron, the first Gold Commissioner of the nearby gold mining town Barkerville, who organised numerous exploration parties into the remote mountains to look for gold-bearing ground.

Searching for Large Heath in far-from-ideal conditions on a squelchy peat bog next to Loch Maree in Wester Ross… No sign of a butterfly in the drizzle and wind; no surprise there. But the consolation prize was the dramatic sight of Slioch, one of Scotland's Munros (a mountain over 3,000 ft (910 m) high), which dominates the eastern end of the loch, as it dipped in and out of the low clouds.
The search was abandoned with the arrival of yet another band of persistent rain!
Very shortly after I’d taken the slow shutter-speed shot of the water, this chap ran along the edge of the bathing pool and simply leapt into the churning sea and paddled off in search of his wave. I just managed to crank up my iso enough to catch him and I fired off a couple of shots. It all happened so quickly.
This is a composite of the two images.

Just the two of us on this beautiful glacier des Nantillons, right above Chamonix, with perfect conditions… Another fantastic day climbing & skiing.
Things are a bit slow when I’m relegated to shooting a succulent in my backyard, but my plant seemed in the mood for a portrait, and I was too lazy to look elsewhere. So here she is.
________________________
The Succulent:
In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning "juice" or "sap."
Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. The water content of some succulents can get up to 90 to 95%. The habitats of these water-preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall, such as deserts, but succulents may be found even in alpine ecosystems growing in rocky soil. Succulents are characterized by their ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem that contains scarce water sources.

Weather conditions are kinda rough today, heavy rain and snowfall are forecasted.
A blanket of snow is still visible outside in our area and right now it’s snowing heavily again.
So I thought it’s a good day for a winter photo ;-)
At least it’s finally really wet outside and that’s good for nature after the dry weeks lately.
The south shore of the Great Salt Lake is pretty easy to reach from an access road that parallels I-80. These are mudflats, swampy, and conditions change often.
That is Antelope Island, the largest of ~10 islands in the Great Salt Lake.
