Last weekend, one of the enchanting moments this winter was: minus 20 degrees outside temperature, a fog bench and slowly the sun turns on and after and after the fog bench. Fantastically cold, but crazy light.
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.
Same night, same location as yesterday's image (turned around 180 degrees) - sometimes you need to spin the camara around.

Rio Grande GP40-2s No. 3102 and 3125 pull the eastbound Railblazer up a 2% grade on the Soldier Creek fill at Gilluly, Utah the evening of July 2, 1987. Trailer shipments include Nashville & Ashland City Railway and Southern Pacific "Golden Pig Service", among others. In the background, US Highway 6 takes a short cut to Soldier Summit on a steeper 4% grade, a right of way used by the D&RGW until 1913, when a line change cut the grade in half.

Waterscape #3 of 100 for 2025.
Wybung Head, perched in the Munmorah State Conservation Area, is the kind of place that earns its name. "Wybung" is a local Aboriginal word meaning "Dangerous Sea," and this headland delivers on that promise with sheer, unfenced cliffs and an ocean that is perpetually trying to lull unwary rock fisherman, and photographers, to their grave.
The headland offers 270-degree views of the coastline, and on a clear day, you can see for miles—just don’t get too close to those crumbly edges. Whale watchers and ocean gazers find plenty to love here. However, shade and shelter are entirely absent, and the wind shows no mercy. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon when the temperature soared into the 30s °C and the wind gusted at 40 km/h. I’ve never felt closer to understanding life inside an air fryer.
After edging uncomfortably close to the edge of the crumbly cliffs at the end of the headland for the obligatory heart-stopping views, we decided to head down to the cheerily named Deadman’s Beach. Because why wouldn’t you follow up a stop at "Dangerous Sea" with a jaunt to "Deadman’s Beach"? “Track” is a generous term—it’s more like a gravity experiment with added rocks. From there, we scrambled around the rockshelf to Frazer Beach for a swim. The ocean has never felt so refreshing! The crowd (about a dozen people) wasn’t ideal, but hey, its school holidays, and the nearby campground explains the human influx.
This photo captures Wybung Head itself, though its sheer scale is hard to convey. If you squint, you might spot a post with a lifejacket at the end of the rockshelf to the bottom right of Wybung, a small but poignant reminder of the dangers of the seas at this beautiful place.
Have a great week out there.
Thanks for all the kind comments , they are always greatly appreciated.
Got this shot last week at our northern most point on our trip to Iceland, probably about 25 miles south of the Arctic Circle, thx!

I am spending some time here in San Deigo and it was 82 degrees today. I took this picture in -11 on the Grand Mesa, Colorado prior to the sunrising. What a difference 1000 miles can make.
It's fun to walk the rocky shores of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. It's such a scenic place and never gets old. The clear water is so inviting until you step in and find it's about 40 degrees in August. Lake Superior is not really a swimming lake except for a few die hards.
Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes of North America. The lake is shared by Canada's Ontario and the United States' Minnesota to the north and west, and Wisconsin and Michigan to the south. It is generally considered the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, although some consider Lakes Huron and Michigan to be one lake, larger than Lake Superior. It is the world's third-largest freshwater lake by volume and the largest by volume in North America.
Intense, yes, perfect, no. For example, I forgot to turn off the electronic shutter which can, as in this case of artificial light, lead to "banding". And yet, I can do a close-up with the Sony A7iii I could never do with my Leica (or, to be precise, with the Leica equipment I have got). It is hand-held too, and I could have done this shot with even less light and low ISO due to the camera's image stabilisation. All my various camera types are excellent, but in different ways. What matters is to find their respective "sweet spots". And then, every camera is a good one.
The six degree curve at the east end of Echo, Utah is the sharpest bend on the Union Pacific main line west of Omaha, Nebraska. Even when Harriman built a second main track through Echo in 1923, there was no practical way to reduce the curvature. The same sharpness applies to the parallel Lincoln Highway, and even Interstates 80/84. Slow down, people.
More than a century later, Union Pacific's hot Denver - Salt Lake City premium intermodal train navigates the restrictive, 35 mph curve through Echo on August 28, 2025. It won't be long before the ZDVSC 28 is back up to 70 mph.
The train had four clean winged GE locomotives. I have witnesses.
Ende Jänner bzw. Anfang Feber hat es wieder ordentlich geschneit in weiten Teilen Österreichs. Wenige Tage später setzte jedoch ein Hoch mit jede Menge Sonnenschein durch. Da ich eine Reise zum Obdacher Sattel seit längerem geplant habe, habe ich mich entschlossen, dorthin zu fahren. Mein eigentlicher Plan, mit dem letzten Schnellzug nach Graz und von dort mit dem ersten Zug des Tages nach Zeltweg zu fahren, musste aber ausgesetzt worden da in der NachtTemperaturen um -15 Grad erwartet waren, also kein gutes Wetter für solche Touren inklusive nächtliche Stadtbummeln. Daher habe ich doch ein Zimmer gebucht, obwohl wir jetzt jedes Cent in unsere neue – übrigens erste - Wohnung investieren. Aber wenn man nachts schläft, kann ja ruhig gleich am Morgen losfahren. Gedacht, getan und so gelangte ich am ersten Tag des Toures nach Grünbach am Schneeberg. Wegen akuten Ersatzteilmangel bei den ÖBB fahren jetzt wieder öfter die alte 5047er nach Puchberg, daher war ich ein wenig nervös, ob ein Desiro oder eine 5047er kommt. Zum Glück waren an diesem Tag beide Umläufe mit 5022ern bestückt und so konnte 5022.038 mit dem R 6427 verewigt werden.
The end of January and the very first weeks of February brought large amounts of snow into Austria. Accompanied with days with 8 hours of sunshine, perfect conditions were expected to take a tour to Obdach – a destination that I have been planning to visit for a long time. Initially, I planned to take the last fast train to Graz which arrives there around 1:30 a.m and continue the journey with an early S-Bahn towards Zeltweg. However, as temperatures around – 15 Degrees Celsius were forecasted, I had to rent a room – such temperatures are certainly not the perfect ones to have a tour with a stopover at night. Since I had a room for the night, I decided to start early in the morning – the first destination was Grünbach am Scheenberg. Recently, however, some excitement is associated with tours around Wiener Neustadt as due to the scarcity of spare parts, the Desiros of the series 5022 are occasionally replaced by the ugly old 5047 DMUs. This day, I had a luck as all trains were operated with Desiros. One of them, 5022.038 is passing my spot with R 6427 towards Puchberg.
For our american fellow : Yes, it is 9° of temperature. But, here in France, and almost everywhere outside the United States, we do use the Celsuis scale. 9°C is eq. to 48.2°F.
And I'm glad of it. :-)) 9°F would be eq. to -12,78°C.
I live in the french Normandy. That's right. We can have this kind of coldness, sometimes.
But not this year... :-))
En attendant, et pour nos amis francophones, le fait est qu'à 9°C, le temps est plutôt clément et la météo se prête à un bel exercice de lignes tout en diffusion de la lumière grâce au fameux ciel bas de ma contrée.... :-))
