Even though it was white and bright everywhere I am glad that we left it behind and are having warmer days now.
Large view is better.
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.

These were formed by splashing water along the edge of the Ottawa River.
Celles-ci ont été formées en éclaboussant l'eau le long du bord de la Rivière des Outaouais.
The sedimentary rocks formed in the Upper Cretaceous that occur in the region of Torotoro, Bolivia, belong to the El Molino Formation, which can be divided into three members due to their distinct lithologic characteristics. The lower member consists of carbonate rocks, the intermediate member by siliciclastic and mixed rocks, and the upper, by carbonate rocks. These association of rocks occur as the upper strata of the Torotoro Syncline, a 45 km long and 9.5 km wide feature well preserved in the dynamic of Andean tectonic.

I remember that marvellous sunset on Koh Tao, an island north of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. I had walked into the sea to capture the scenery photographically and was knee-deep in the water until I felt something like a sting or bite in my lower right leg. All I remember is that I hit it and immediately left the water. On the beach I then saw about 20 small skin lesions like punctures from a biopsy with a diameter of about 1 mm and the leg was bleeding quite profusely. Jellyfish alarm! Fortunately, we hadn't been far from our little hotel and I got vinegar for the wound there straight away. You actually use this to loosen a stuck jellyfish, but it didn't do any harm either. Unfortunately, I didn't have my emergency allergy kit for such cases (antihistamine, cortisone and an adrenaline pen) with me, but had it in my hotel room...;) That could have ended badly. I was really glad I hadn't gone swimming in the sea (I never do it after sunset). In Thailand, there are always deaths from large-scale contact with devil jellyfish. In a situation like that, you actually are shocked at first.
Yes, when you travel a lot, the strangest things happen to you. Once a snake flew towards us at the waterfall, that wasn't so funny either. But the number one story so far was when we were caught by a current in the sea. Horror stories, luckily we survived.
Ich erinnere mich an den wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang auf Koh Tao, einer Insel nördlich von Koh Samui und Koh Phangan. Ich war ins Meer gelaufen, um die Szenery fotografisch einzufangen und war knietief im Wasser, bis ich so etwas wie einen Stich oder Biss im rechten Unterschenkel spürte. Ich weiß nur noch, dass ich danach schlug und sofort das Wasser verließ. Am Strand sah ich dann ca. 20 kleine Hautläsionen wie Stanzungen bei einer Biopsie im Durchmesser von ca. 1 mm und das Bein blutete ganz ordentlich. Quallen-Alarm! Zum Glück waren wir nicht weit von unserem kleinen Hotel entfernt gewesen und ich bekam dort gleich Essig für die Wunde. Man nimmt diesen eigentlich, um eine festsitzende Qualle zu lösen, aber geschadet hat es auch nicht. Mein Notfall Allergie-Set für solche Fälle (Antihistaminikum, Kortison und einen Adrenalin-Pen) hatte ich dummerweise nicht dabei, sondern im Hotelzimmer. Das hätte böse enden können. Ich war heilfroh, dass ich nicht zum Schwimmen im Meer war (Ich gehe grundsätzlich nie ins Meer nach Sonnenuntergang). In Thailand gibt es immer wieder Todesfälle bei großflächigem Kontakt mit Teufelsquallen. In so einer Situation ist man natürlich erst einmal geschockt.
Ja, wenn man viel reist passieren einem die eigentümlichsten Sachen. Einmal flog uns eine Schlange am Wasserfall entgegen, das war auch nicht so lustig. Auf Platz 1 stand aber bislang, als wir einmal im Meer am Chaweng Beach von einer Strömung erfasst wurden. Schauergeschichten, zum Glück alles überlebt.
Thanks for your visit, danke für Euren Besuch!
Por la carretera hacia Hecho, pasado Embún, nos encontramos con el rio Oria que forma el valle donde se asientan Jasa y Aragües del Puerto. Esa estrecha y pintoresca carretera, con abundantes bosques de variada vegetación, acaba en un amplio aparcamiento junto al refugio de Lizara y la mole calcárea del macizo de Bisaurín que lo preside. Un encuadre fotográfico de gran belleza. Allí, en el colmado aparcamiento nos dejó el autobús a los 26 senderistas bien dispuestos a disfrutar y ponernos otra vez en forma.
Por detrás del refugio una pista sube al collado del Foratón, a nuestra izquierda, que nos llevaría al valle de Hecho. Superando el collado del Bozo, el de nuestra derecha, entraríamos en el valle de Aisa, pero nosotros debemos tomar una senda que nos indica al Valle de los Sarrios y que se introduce por el Barranco del Puerto pasando bajo los paredones del Bisaurín y las Fetas.
La agreste canal se va superando por alguna zona herbosa que alterna con otras pedregosas, fáciles de caminar pues el terreno es bastante estable y las piedras pequeñas. Al alcanzar el abrupto y llamativo peñasco que parecía cerrarnos el paso, la subida se suaviza y volvemos a caminar entre soleados pastizales. En uno de ellos almorzamos.
De nuevo la senda gana altura entre lazadas y nos lleva a un curioso refugio por su forma y estructura. Todo se aclara cuando alguien dice que en su tiempo fue un cuartel de carabineros que controlaba el paso por la zona pues cerca de aquí esta el ibón de Estanés que limita con Francia.
Muy poco después un amplio circo glacial se presenta ante nosotros: Plana Mistresa. A la izquierda el collado de Secús, de frente la muralla pétrea de Bernera y a la derecha una senda sube con suavidad en dirección a la escarpada sierra de Olibón que conforma la cabecera del llamativo Valle de los Sarrios. Pero este recorrido lo dejamos para otra ocasión.

“I've changed my ways a little, I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream, and you, if you dream a moment,
You see me there.”
― Robinson Jeffers
John Robinson Jeffers was an American poet, known for his work about the central California coast. Much of Jeffers's poetry was written in narrative and epic form. However, he is also known for his shorter verse and is considered an icon of the environmental movement.

In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".
Sastrugi
Sastrugi, or zastrugi, are features formed by erosion of snow by wind. They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (small, ~10 mm high) or wind ridges.
Large sastrugi are troublesome to skiers and snowboarders. Traveling on the irregular surface of sastrugi can be very tiring, and can risk breaking equipment—ripples and waves are often undercut and the surface is hard and unforgiving, with constant minor topographic changes between ridge and trough.
Etymology
The words sastrugi and zastrugi are Russian-language plurals; the singular is zastruga. The form sastruga started as the German-language transliteration of the Russian word заструга (plural: заструги).
A Latin-type analogical singular sastrugus is used in various writings on exploration of the South Pole, including Robert Falcon Scott's expedition's diaries and Ernest Shackleton's The Heart of the Antarctic.
Formation mechanism
White and black colors on sastrugi are not lights and shadows, they demonstrate difference in radioreflectivity of snow deposits on the windward and leeward sides of a sastruga.
Under the action of steady wind, free snow particles accumulate and drift like the sand grains in barchan dunes, and the resulting drifting snow shapes are also popularly referred to as barchans. Inuit of Canada call them kalutoqaniq. When winds slacken, the drifted formations consolidate via sublimation and recrystallization. Subsequent winds erode kalutoqaniq into the sculptured forms of sastrugi. Inuit call large sculpturings kaioqlaq and small ripples tumarinyiq. Further erosion may turn kaioqlaq back into drifting kalutoqaniq. An intermediate stage of erosion is mapsuk, an overhanging shape. On the windward side of a ridge, the base erodes faster than the top, producing a shape like an anvil tip pointing upwind.
On sea ice
Sastrugi are more likely to form on first-year sea ice than on multiyear ice. First-year ice is smoother than multiyear ice, which allows the wind to pass uniformly over the surface without topographic obstructions. Except during the melt season, snow is dry and light in climates cold enough for sea ice, allowing the snow to be easily blown and create sastrugi parallel to the wind direction. The locations of sastrugi are fixed by March in the northern hemisphere and may be linked to the formation of melt ponds. Melt ponds are more likely to form in the depressions between sastrugi on first-year ice.

Cómo se forman los azulejos
La edad geológica de Gran Canaria se estima en unos 14,6 millones de años mientras que los Azulejos de Veneguera tienen una edad aproximada de 13 millones de años. Los azulejos representan alteraciones hidrotermales que se producen cuando el agua subterránea procedente de la lluvia alcanza las raíces de un volcán activo.
Se trata de zonas que estuvieron próximas a fracturas o conductos por los que circulaban gases volcánicos y aguas termales en contacto con rocas calientes o intrusiones de magma. Estos contactos son los responsables de diversidad de minerales como son la allita, la clorita, la epidota y la caolinita que tiñen la montaña de colores azules, verdes y celestes.

Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.

Back form a great holiday in Switzerland and Italy. A lot of people fly a long way from home during the summer, but forget that Europe has so much to give.
Our last stop was Cinque Terre. A famous spot that I always wanted to visit. Yes it was crowded, but if you hike a bit, you loose most of the crowds. As a photographer always the challenge to make a unique shot on a very popular photo location. I tried my best, especially using different foregrounds. Hope you enjoy and more to follow.
I always really appreciate your favs and comments.

Pato Espinoso, Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis)
El pato zambullidor grande (Oxyura jamaicensis), también conocido como malvasía canela, pato tepalcate (en México) o pato rufo, es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae natural de América. Su distribución natural comprende desde Alaska hasta Tierra del Fuego.
Su hábitat de la cría son lagos pantanosos y estanques a lo largo de casi toda de América del Norte. Anidan en la vegetación densa del pantano cerca del agua. Las parejas se forman cada año. Son migratorios e invernales en las bahías costeras y lagos descongelados y estanques.
Estos patos bucean y nadan. comen las semillas y raíces de plantas acuáticas, insectos acuáticos y crustáceos principalmente.

Yellowstone... le volcan endormi ou la "Caldeira de Yellowstone. Située dans le Parc National de Yellowstone, la caldeira se situe sur la plaque nord américaine sur une surface de 85 sur 45km..
La caldeira se forme généralement à la suite d'une forte éruption de type explosif, qui disperse violemment et rapidement la partie supérieure de la chambre magmatique provoquant l'effondrement de la croûte terrestre se trouvant au-dessus de celle-ci, incluant le cône volcanique préexistant, quand celui-ci existe. En analysant les carottes prélevées à travers le parc de Yellowstone, les scientifiques arrivent à dater approximativement la dernière éruption. Elle se serait produite il y a environ 640 000 ans et aurait été assez puissante pour recouvrir d'une couche de cendres environ la moitié de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui les États-Unis. Les scientifiques ont calculé que la colonne de cendre dégagée par l'explosion a dû s'élever à une altitude de près de 30 000 m.

Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.
It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.
Not quite the same in black and white.
Shooting in black and white during the golden hour
shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.
