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.

Et voici l'averse de grêle.
Des conditions extrêmes, mais changement d'objectif quand même(haa quand l’adrénaline l'emporte sur la raison) pour ce gros plan.
C'est un panoramique à partir d'une photo dont la partie inférieure est enlevée.

And here is the hailstorm.
Extreme conditions, but changing lenses anyway (haa when adrenaline outweighs reason) for this close-up.

If conditions are good, as they were this morning, this is one of my favourite spots to take a photograph, Garreg Ddu Dam, Elan valley, Powys, Wales, UK
After many varied weather forecasts, we ended up with about 4 plus inches Thursday night, some wind and even rain prior to the snow. No real blizzard conditions because the snow was quite wet . . .
This is near a large aerated pond where we still have Canadian Geese that like it here too much . . . no migration plans at the moment!

Loverly peaceful wander in the woods and great winter conditions. Liked the odd tree at the back amongst the straighter uniform trunks.

Well they were testing conditions to start with, and I took this before any sunlight appeared and with wet underpants. The cloud had just lifted off the distant mountains, the Langdale Pikes, and the view was beginning to open up for me as the breeze slowly dried my nethers.
I can't deny it is a great view from Holme Fell, out over the slate quarry workings of Hodge Close and to the North West. I just needed some splashes of sunlight rather than the lashing rain and hail that came to soak me again, several times over.
The Duffy Lake road showcases the stunning natural beauty of B.C.'s coastal mountain range. This year's impressive snowpack continues to attract back country skiiers...try to find them in the lower right corner of the photo. :)
Light conditions were very exciting during my after work stroll across the Schönbrunn Garden this afternoon: they changed every minute, because there were lots of clouds around the sun.
Un couple de martins-pêcheurs élève normalement 2 nichées par an, voire 3 ou 4, si les conditions sont favorables ou si une nichée a été détruite.
La première ponte a lieu dès la mi-mars en Europe occidentale, un mois plus tard en Europe orientale. De 4 à 8 œufs sont pondus à un jour d'intervalle, à même le sol de la chambre de ponte. D'un beau blanc brillant et de forme presque sphérique, ils ont un diamètre moyen à peine supérieur à 2 cm et ne pèsent guère plus de 4 grammes.
Le couple se partage, à parts à peu près égales, le temps de couvaison et se relaie par factions de 2 à 5 heures. L'incubation dure trois semaines et ne commence qu'une fois le dernier œuf pondu ; les éclosions ont donc toutes lieu au même moment.
Nus à l'éclosion et incapables de maintenir leur température interne, les petits sont réchauffés par les adultes pendant une semaine, jusqu'à ce qu'ils se couvrent de courtes plumes. Les parents peuvent alors se consacrer tous deux à leur ravitaillement.
Les poissons apportés aux jeunes sont légèrement plus longs que ceux que les adultes capturent pour eux-mêmes : entre 4 et 7 cm, avec un maximum de 10 cm. Pendant la becquée, les petits, disposés en étoile à l'intérieur de la chambre, sont nourris chacun à son tour durant les deux à trois premières semaines. C'est l'époque où le sol du nid se couvre de leurs pelotes de réjection, et où les parents se baignent souvent. Un peu plus tard, les jeunes se tournent tous vers le boyau d'entrée, serrés les uns contre les autres, ou s'avancent dans le couloir à la rencontre des adultes.

A pair of kingfishers normally rear 2 broods a year, or 3 or 4, if conditions are favorable or if a brood has been destroyed.
The first spawning takes place in mid-March in Western Europe, a month later in Eastern Europe. From 4 to 8 eggs are laid one day apart on the floor of the laying chamber. They are bright white in color and almost spherical in shape. They have an average diameter of just over 2 cm and weigh little more than 4 grams.
The couple share, roughly equally, the brooding time and relays in factions from 2 to 5 hours. The incubation lasts three weeks and begins only once the last egg laid; hatching therefore takes place at the same time.
Naked at hatching and unable to maintain their internal temperature, the young are warmed by adults for a week, until they cover themselves with short feathers. Parents can then devote themselves to their food.
The fish brought to the young are slightly longer than those that the adults catch for themselves: between 4 and 7 cm, with a maximum of 10 cm. During the beak, the little ones, arranged in a star inside the chamber, are each fed during the first two to three weeks. It is the time when the ground of the nest is covered with their balls of rejection, and where the parents bathe often. A little later, the youths all turn to the inlet hose, huddled together, or walk down the hallway to meet the adults.
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.

In the magical conditions around sunset, Blanca's coat can take on various hues and sometimes seems to glow with an iridescent shimmer.
I'm always staring at her and smiling at how beautiful she is! :)

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Schwabacher Landing view there in the Grand Teton National Park as the day was heading towards sunset. An amazing scene to behold under these conditions.
After a long day working ... noticed that after two days of 50 MPH and then 30 MPH winds and sunny days, that clouds rolled in as the day was nearing an end and the winds died down to nothing.
Checked the radar and the passing front left behind a band of clouds over the Baltimore region ... and it was slowly dissipating.
I called my Dad about 40 minutes before sunset and asked if the river was smoothed out. He said it was nearly a mirror.
So I grabbed the camera gear and made a quick trip down to Middle River to see if Election Night would have some fireworks.
The conditions were great with the two days of strong winds out of the northwest resulted in a real low tide, so was able to get under some of the piers.
Here just as the sun set, the colors were golden and just beginning. The fireworks followed for about 20 minutes or more, so I ended up taking 75 captures from all kinds of perspectives given the reflections, clouds and low tide conditions.
This one was on the ground under trees

One of my favorite things about travel photography is seeing beautiful things that are new to me, then the focus becomes trying to capture them in less than ideal conditions with limited amounts of time while also trying not to bore your travel partner. This scene of a stream come salt marsh captured my eye while driving along the Northside Road from Shipwreck Point, so much so that I had to turn around and drive back to capture it. Sometimes the most beautiful details in life are the unexpected things we find between departure and arrival, this is the good stuff, we are all on a journey to the same destination some long some short but the trick is to make sure you enjoy the ride.
I took this on Sept 15, 2022 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 42mm, 1/60s, f7.1 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,Topaz, and DXO Nik

Alum Bay is the location of a classic sequence of upper Paleocene and Eocene beds of soft sands and clays, separated by an unconformity from the underlying Cretaceous Chalk Formation that forms the adjoining headland of West High Down. Due to geological folding of the Alpine orogeny, the strata in the main section of the bay are near vertical, with younger rocks with progressively lower dips to the west. The sands are coloured due to oxidised iron compounds formed under different conditions.
Alum Bay Chine begins as a small wooded valley descending eastward from the junction of the B3322 and the road to Headon Hall. It soon broadens into the clay ravine through which the path and chairlift from Needles Park descend to the beach.
With conditions like this who wouldn't want to be on Mam Tor at sunrise? There was at least 20 other photographers that agreed with us :o) While they were still jostling for position to get the sunrise I thought I'd have a look elsewhere and the light behind was also pretty nice too. Had to wait for sun up for this one though and really like the shadow contrasts across to Rushup Edge.

These deep rooted trees survive in tough Australian arid conditions. Allocasuarina decaisneana or desert oak is a medium-sized, slow-growing tree found in the dry desert regions of the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. The dioecious tree typically grows to a height of 10 to 16 metres and as high as 20 m and a width of 3 to 8 m. Young trees have a narrow trunk and form and grey/green feathery foliage. They mature to an adult form with spreading limbs and bushy foliage. It is the only member of its family in Central Australia and its large cylindrical cones are the biggest in its family. Often found in swales between sand dunes they grow well in deep red sand. The species is distributed through the deserts of the eastern part of central Western Australia, in the southern portion of the Northern Territory, and in northern South Australia. It is often the only tree species to be found in these area where the dominant form of vegetation is spinifex. The tree was particularly useful to Indigenous Australian peoples who used the trees as a source of water. Water can be collected from tree hollows but surface roots could also be broken off in sections to provide potable water by draining the root when held vertically or by directly sucking the water out. The Aborigines also used the hard wood of the trees for making boomerangs, shields and clubs. A boomerang that is 10,000 years old made from Allocasuarina wood was found in Wylie Swamp in South Australia. 16240

In blizzard conditions on the zig zag near dinorwic slate quarry.And looking towards lakperis and snowdonia mountains.
Icy cold conditions but the Shorties put on a display, this one hovers over movement in the grass below.
Stormy conditions in the west end of Antelope bring snow to the surrounding mountains and dramatic light all around.
I cut across highway 138 often to access the Eastern Sierra. It seems there is always great light when I pass through.
Dark Forboding Sky....
Digging through more of my archives from the last couple of months I found a couple more that I think would look great in my photostream.
Another shot from my excursion to catch the sunrise. This one really has a more somber mood than I would usually post; as it has this ethereal quality that really speaks to the dawn and my effort to capture it.
I must say, I love the dynamic range of this camera; It really frees me up to explore the low light conditions around me. Thank you Nikon…for an excellent, affordable alternative to the mega-pixels and mega-dollar alternatives.
Please let me know what you think in the comments. And thanks for viewing.

I returned to this location last week, and conditions have changed. The ice edge seen here has expanded, pushing out of the shadow of the tall riverbank behind me. Consequently, the cool-warm contrast that I've been playing with is no longer present. There was still some open water, but not much. I think this amazing combination of colours and shapes is gone until next winter.
But that's why we do it, don't you think? Being a nature photographer is to recognize the temporal beauty of all things wild and cyclical, and to feel a compulsion to capture some of the essence even as it fades or makes the transition into something else. And to understand that every moment is unique. The clouds above that peak will never again look precisely like this; the combination of lines, shapes, and textures in front of my lens right now will never be repeated, no matter how long the future stretches out for our species. It's the same with human faces, with fingerprints.
And yet, even as the ice melts away - or in this case, expands until the river fully freezes over - I experience a sort of speechless wonder when I'm out there, especially when I'm alone, as if I have entered a zone of timelessness. This seems to happen most often when I'm shooting macro. Somehow, the viewfinder image becomes the world. After twenty minutes or so of intense concentration, I may look up and feel astonished, because I've lost track of the larger world and where I am in it - in this instance, lying flat on the ice with my tripod, a few inches from the edge of a rushing river. It's almost an out-of-body experience. It's when I feel most alive.

The conditions on Friday looked too good to miss - snow, fog and a chance of some sunrise light. I stuck the camera in a small shoulder bag and headed out on my morning walk.
Wikipedia: Pancake ice forms in conditions of high wave activity, in contrast to other types of sea ice formed under calm conditions. Pancake ice can form in two processes: (1) on water covered to some degree in slush, shuga or grease ice, or (2) from breaking of ice rind, nilas or even gray ice in agitated conditions.[3] If the waves are strong enough, pancakes can raft over each other, creating an uneven top and bottom surface on the ice. At this point, the pancake ice will fuse together and amalgamate into an ice sheet. This ice sheet will continue to grow over the winter. This process increases pancake ice's resilience, resulting in characteristic length scales less than ocean wavelengths and causing waves passing through pancake ice not to scatter.[3]
Matera is a city in the Basilicata region and one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. The historic center and Park of the Rupestrain Churches are a UNESCO site. The historic center is called Sassi from the Italian word for stone and it is a neighborhood of 1,500 cave homes flanking a steep ravine. The honeycomb of natural caves have been inhabited since the Paleolithic Age.
In the 1950s the government evicted residents from the caves due to substandard living conditions but the primitive homes are once again in demand and locals have opened cave hotels, cave bars and cave restaurants for travelers seeking a unique experience. Visit the Park of Rupestrian churches carved out of rock by Basilian monks during the 8th-9th century. Follow the Circuito Urbano delle Chiese Rupestri and see several of these fascinating sites.
