Just as my toe sunk into the hot water
(of my readied and waiting bathtub)
it began to snow.
The first snow of the season is always the best.
The Autumn is already nostalgic.
The winter feeling is here.
The inside thoughts are becoming outside thoughts.
Sipping on sake, imagining the sounds of mountains.
Imagination is a drifting light that melts on your fingertips.
Until weeks of the stuff, then it sticks forever.
You carry it with you from home to home like a virus.
It is always with you.
There are only 49 days left of this year.
What will you make of it?
What will you make of yourself?

Freshly fallen snow on a cold and overcast day in the ancient Laurentian mountains, Quebec.
The yellow- brown (tea) colour of the river water is caused by sand (sediments) and dissolved/suspended organic matter washed downstream and deposited on top of melting ice immediately below a fast flowing rapid (the clearer water of this rapid can just be seen in the photo at centre right).
It should also be noted that the river water at this location always exhibits a light tea colouration due to the presence of dissolved tannins, substances that naturally leach out of organic matter such as peat, leaves, bark, roots etc. [for more information see:

Okay, please bear with me. I'm still playing with ICMs and find myself experimenting with the macro lens and flowers.
I'm really intrigued by the different effects one can get with varying shutter speeds and movements. I find it fascinating that a simple photograph can look so much like a painting - perhaps a watercolour rather than the usual impressionist image that ICM often produces. Or maybe it just looks like a mess!
Either way, I quite like it and I hope you do too.

Dissolving the lines between jazz, rock and electronic music, St. Barbe create a rich and expansive sound world fuelled by high-octane improvisation, ethereal textures and complex beats. Their debut EP 'Shapeless' was released in January 2021 and garnered support from Spotify's editorial jazz playlist, accumulating over 3,000,000 streams.
This picture is every bit as insane as it looks - looking up from between 2 massive natural limestone/shale/iron oxide walls is this tree that grew strong and tall enough to finally start getting that sunlight. According to Palaeogeology (the geology of a region at any given time in the distant past - thanks Google Machine!), standing in this same area a couple hundred million years ago would have me under a shallow sea.
From a PDF regarding this amazing area:
The bluffs of the Shawnee Hills often jut above ground like giant
stone walls with flat surfaces. This sandstone was formed more
than 250 million years ago as sandbars and dunes in a great river
delta that drained the Pennsylvanian swamps of Illinois. This delta
emptied freshwater into a shallow ocean just a few miles to the
south. These sand sediments were compacted and cemented together over millions of years to form sandstone. Earthquakes have
uplifted, cracked , and crumpled the earth in this area to form hills,
bluffs, and the giant cracks or fissures in the rock. Over millions of
years the erosion by wind and water have etched the bluffs by removing softer areas of stone. Look around for areas with pocketlike depressions called honeycombs. Also notice the thick ridges
of dark brown material. These iron oxide deposits were created by
dissolved iron compounds in groundwater precipitating out into
solid form within the sandstone. Adding to the slow change of the
bluff walls are the lichens and mosses that slowly cover rock surfaces and then die to become soil for ferns, herbaceous plants, and
trees. Only the sheerest walls have not been covered over by the
soil and vegetation, and they maintain the cloak of green mosses
or gray-green lichens.

Когда мы встретимся, давай сойдём с ума!
Тюрьма свободой станет, роскошью - сума.
Мы проведем губами по губам
И проповеди превратятся в хлам.
И выдохнув огонь в лицо друг другу,
Мы пеплом полетим с тобой по кругу,
И парой фениксов сплетёмся в диком танце.
Нас русый мальчик спрячет в старом ранце
Приняв за двух бумажных голубей.
Убей меня! Потом себя убей,
Чтобы родиться змеями с утра,
Не бойся, это нежная игра.
Узлом в клубок, но прежде сбросим кожу.
Я жалом твоё жало растревожу.
И наконец достигнув отравленья,
Мы не заметим, как накроет тенью
Волны солёной, той, что слижет нас с тобой,
Прилив - отлив, и берег вновь пустой.
- Не знаешь, где мы?
- А не всё ль равно...
Морскими звездами
На дно... на дно... на дно..
Раствориться в объятиях
Обвившиеся руки женщины, вокруг шеи мужчины- это спасательный круг!
Woman's arms wrapped around a man's neck are a lifebuoy!!!

Sázava Monastery is a former Benedictine abbey and a monastery in Bohemia (Czech Republic), established by Bretislaus I, Duke of Bohemia around 1032.[1][2] It is situated some 30 km southeast of Prague, on the right bank of the eponymous Sázava river, a right tributary of the Vltava. The town of Sázava (Benešov District) grew around the monastery.
The monastery is notable as having followed Slavonic liturgy in the 11th century. It was re-established under the Latin rite in 1097, until its destruction in 1421 due to the Hussite Wars. It was again re-established as part of the re-catholization of Bohemia under Habsburg rule in 1664, and finally dissolved in 1785.
The extant buildings mostly date to the Baroque period, with 19th-century neo-Renaissance extensions, with some remaining structures in the Gothic style of the 13th to 14th centuries, notably the unfinished three-nave Gothic basilica. (Wiki)
Im Nebel
„Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
Kein Baum sieht den andern,
Jeder ist allein.“ .....
-von Hermann Hesse-
I remember it as a large and spreading tree, spreading its branches in a huge tent. Once there was a storm and broke the willow. Then people came and cut the fallen trunk. The rest were sorry. And life went on.
Thanks for your comments and faves,they are truly appreciated.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine located in the town of Wieliczka in southern Poland, lies within the Kraków metropolitan area. Opened in the 13th century, the mine produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines in operation.
Throughout, the royal mine was run by the Żupy krakowskie Salt Mines company.
The Wieliczka salt mine reaches a depth of 327 meters and is over 287 kilometres (178 mi) long.
The rock salt is naturally grey in various shades, resembling unpolished granite rather than the white or crystalline look that many visitors may expect.
In the 13th century, rock salt was discovered in Wieliczka and the first shafts were dug.
The Wieliczka mine is often referred to as "the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland". In 1978 it was placed on the original UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites. Even the crystals of the chandeliers are made from rock salt that has been dissolved and reconstituted to achieve a clear, glass-like appearance.

Longhorn Cavern State Park is located in Burnet County, Texas. Between 280 and 300 million years ago, mountain-building forces shifted in an event called the Llano Uplift, which formed faults and fractures in the limestone. Water flowed through the cracks, dissolving limestone and forming Longhorn Cavern. From 1934 to 1942, the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps explored the cavern and made it accessible by removing tons of silt, debris, and guano and by building stairs and walkways both into and inside the cavern. It was dedicated as a state park in 1932 and in 1938 was opened to the public. In 1971, the cavern was dedicated as a National Natural Landmark. Before the cave became a tourist attraction, it was used over the years by Native Americans, Confederate soldiers (who made gun powder from the guano deposits) and outlaws. Cavern temperatures range up to 68F (20C) year-round. The 90-minute tour covers 1.1 miles underground at depths of 40 to 140 feet (12 to 43m).

The Abbey Church of Saint Mary, Saint Bartholomew & Saint Guthlac
Crowland is a small market town in the fenlands of south Lincolnshire, just south of Spalding, The town's two historical points of interest are the ruined medieval Croyland Abbey and the 14th century three-sided Trinity bridge.
A monk named Guthlac came to what was then an island in the Fens to live the life of a hermit and he dwelt at Croyland between 699 and 714. Following in Guthlac’s footsteps, a monastic community came into being here in the 8th century. The Abbey was dissolved in 1539, the monastic buildings, including the chancel, transepts and crossing of the church appear to have been demolished fairly promptly but the nave and aisles had been used as the parish church and continue in that role to the present day.
Trinity bridge is a unique three-way stone arch bridge that stands in the town centre, while it once spanned the confluence of the River Welland and a tributary, the rivers have been re-routed and it now spans nothing. The current bridge dates to the 14th century, built between 1360 and 1390, and replaced previous wooden bridges.
