“December is an old friend; it reminds you of the past, together you share some laughs and tears, you feel warm-hearted though it’s freezing outside. But, the goodbye is inevitable. May the memories we share with this friend next year be filled with comfort, peace and Love.”
- Mohamed Atef

It's a beautiful and snowy December morning...and already it's Friday again! Time moves so quickly! Happy Fence Friday, my friends, may this last Friday of the year bring you warmth, melting ice and electricity if you're in the far north, and many wonderful photo opportunities. :)

There's an old saying; "when gorse is out of blossom, kissing's out of fashion". For many years now I have endeavoured to photograph Irish gorse in flower every month of the year. but always fell short. Well not this year - finally I have succeeded in my quest. Happy Friday Flora!
We have 2 species of gorse in Ireland; Ulex europaeus (Common gorse) which is this plant. It flowers in hedgerows from late autumn through to late spring, generally tailing off in June, and Ulex gallii (Western or dwarf gorse) which typically flowers in late summer, alongside heather, on mountainsides. No coconut smell to those flowers.
Taken for my Flickr group www.flickr.com/groups/gorgeous_golden_gorse/ new members very welcome.
the outskirts of my small town and the forest, the snow that fell on December 24, has melted by today
I hope someone in Anchorage, on the Kenai Peninsula or the Mat-Su Valley was able to capture a more scenic view! This afternoon's sunset (3:49 pm or 1539 hours if you prefer) was stunning!
Alblasserwaard late december 2021, The Netherlands
History
Western border of the Alblasserwaard in 1866. Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht and Dordrecht are west of the area, on the other side of the Noord river. Alblasserdam and Papendrecht are in the Alblasserwaard.
Dike burst near Papendrecht during the North Sea flood of 1953
The first human inhabitants of the Alblasserwaard settled there after the last Ice Age, around 10.000 years ago. The ice had not reached the area itself, but eolian deposits created high points in the wet environment. These high points were places where hunter-gatherers settled, as archaeological investigations in the area have shown.
During the Middle Ages several canals and dikes were created to reclaim the land. The last part was endiked in the second half of the 14th century, following the permanent flooding of Woude and Donkersloot.[1] Yet numerous floods continued to happen throughout the history of the area, as it is bound by rivers on all sides.
During World War II the Bombing of Rotterdam also damaged the Alblasserwaard, when both the village center of Alblasserdam and a part of Papendrecht were hit by German bombs.
It was flooded during the North Sea flood of 1953.
Geography and population
The Alblasserwaard is bordered by rivers on all sides. To the north is the Lek, to the west runs the Noord and to the south the river Merwede. On the east side are the Merwede-Kanaal, the Linge and the Oude Zederik, together forming the boundary with Vijfheerenlanden. De village Kinderdijk, well known from its windmills, is located at the northwest corner of the Alblasserwaard, where the Noord and the Lek joins.
Most of the Alblasserwaard is rural, but partially under the influence of the cities Rotterdam and Dordrecht on the borders of the area, the south and west are urbanized. The largest cities in the Alblasserwaard are Gorinchem, with 35,000 inhabitants, and Papendrecht with slightly over 30,000 people. Both are on the southern borders of the Alblasserwaard.
Sorry to post and run, but I have to work very early and I have a photoshoot to do after work.

More snow (sob!). It's all very pretty and amazing that each flake is unique, yeah, yeah, but not so great when your dad's plane is about to land. He made it, just before it started to come down again, phew! It was very lovely; Zac met him in arrivals bedecked with a Santa hat and a welcome home balloon - the 'awwwww' from the rest of the arrivals crowd was audible. Memories are made of this!
