Taken last Sunday in my garden. the snow did not deter the birds waiting for a turn at the feeder. The title is a line from Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin` Stevens. (1991)
Great Tit taken last week in St James`s Park. Still plenty of greenery there. Dreadful light hence the high ISO.

- 9 C /15.8 F, strong wind, but what a joy to be out in first snow
this weekend up in the Black Forest mountains.
Despite the cold, the top of the Schauinsland mountain was crowded with people enjoying walking, skiing, sledging or snowshoeing.
But unfortunately - like in the past- the November snow won't last for long...Mostly, the real winter will arrive in January...

Wintereinbruch im Schwarzwald :-)
- 9 C, ein eisiger Wind, jedoch Sonnenschein.
Trotz der Kälte erfreuten sich zahlreiche Wintersportler auf Freiburg's Hausberg an der weßen Pracht.
Leider jedoch wird - wie in den vergangenen Jahren- der Novermberschnee nicht lange bleiben.

Happy December, dear friends :-)
Thank you for your kind visits.
Another old photo I decided to post today. Idk why I didn’t upload it when I took the photo. These clouds reminded me of that scene in Independence Day where the alien ship enters the earth atmosphere.
Edit: now I know why I didn't upload when I took the photo. I had a very dirty sensor (I can still see them 😔) and my focus was off.
This was one of many of my images of the dam, the light and the cloud base was constantly shifting, such a beautiful place and well worth a visit, hope you enjoy.
As you approach Pubil and Lubreoch, the glen is increasingly dominated by the massive Lubreoch Dam, whose construction in the 1950s created the five mile long Loch Lyon as part of a wider hydro-electric scheme. The head of Glen Lyon is an intriguing place, with the far end of the loch being only four miles from Bridge. These four Munro's Carn Gorm, Meall Garbh, Carn Mairg and Meall na Aighean are at the farthest end of Loch Lyon
