La 475.196 fait brillamment son entrée pour sa première apparition de la journée sur la magnifique ligne de Telgárt au centre de la Slovaquie, dans la région des Basses Tatras. Sous une température glaciale, la belle dame nous gratifie d’un superbe panache de vapeur.
The 475.196 made a bright first appearance of the day on the magnificent Telgárt line in central Slovakia, in the Low Tatra Mountains. In freezing temperatures, the beautiful lady graced us with a superb plume of steam.
We were greeted by this large number of White pelicans circling and kettling in the sky at Lake Springfield. The rain has ended for now and we just have to endure one more morning of freezing temperatures. I think our average last freeze is mid-April but we'll see.
Mesa Arch is, undoubtedly, one of the Canyonlands National Park's most iconic vistas. It is featured as one of the standard desktop backgrounds on Windows 7 in the Landscapes section.
We reached there about 45 minutes before sunrise and in below freezing temperature, but there were at least 10 photographers were waiting ahead of us. Though I missed the prime spot, but managed to take a place and captured the Sunrise. There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.
This is a 7 image panorama.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Check out these Icelandic timelapse videos :
► NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER JÖKULSÁRLÓN - THE GLACIER LAGOON, ICELAND
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS - AURORA BOREALIS OVER WESTERN ICELAND
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.

Me and María went for a drive to Jökulsárlón in really poor weather to take some shots. It rained almost all day and was very windy and about 10-12° celcius but it just made it more interesting. It's about a 4-5 hour drive one way so it took the better part of the day.
This is actually not taken in Jökulsárlón but in Fjallárlón wich is closeby and not as well known, we shot there because the ice was closer to the shore so she could wade in between them. I like the fog, gives the shot a little bit of extra atmosphere.
We also shot a few of her in a bikini but I like the ones of her in a dress better, and yes, it was very very cold because the water is only about 1-2 degrees above freezing temperature and although it doesn't show in the picture, it was also raining heavily.
Ambient light only.
Arwen, the first named storm of winter 2021 arrived the previous night bringing near 100mph gusts of wind and freezing temperatures with its northerly Arctic blast. Still rough seas as the storm passed later in the day and the winds eased.
The Southwest Monsoon arrives and produced scattered thunderstorms all day many of which developed near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The one depicted shows the mature phase (right half) where water content in cloud has turned into ice crystals. The developing stage (left half) shows super cooled water droplets (water as a liquid while below the normal freezing temperature of 32F (0C). Note the structural differences.
Must be viewed large-- click on it:)
Though it was an exceptionally cold winter and spring, a snowstorm in Mid-may is unheard of here. Unfortunately, a large group of recently-arrived migrating Tree Swallows got caught in the storm and had to hunker down on the tree branches overlooking the Yukon River, and wait it out. I feared the worst would happen during the 24 hour storm, and was worried sick that they would die from exhaustion as a result of their long journey from Central America, a lack of food as there were no flying insects, strong winds and sub-zero temperatures. I returned the next morning and found no dead birds, so presumably most had survived. They seemed to go into a state of semi-torpor (slow metabolism) and huddled (see note) to conserve energy, a strategy that apparently worked.
As surreal as it appears, this shot is pretty much straight out of the camera with a few contrast, vibrance and saturation adjustments in CS5. The green bokeh is courtesy of the deep green colour of the Yukon River in the spring. Eventually, this photo and others, along with the story, attracted significant international media attention.

The iconic view of Castell-Y-Gwynt (Castle of the Winds) on the Glyderau peaks, beneath a starry night sky amongst freezing temperatures on the summit over the weekend.
This lunar landscape was formed through a process called freeze-thaw weathering, as water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezing and expanding as ice, eventually cracking the rock over years...
Probably on nights just like this, although I waited awhile and didn't see them move once ;-)
The size of Yellowstone Lake is impressive, but the scale changes from season to season. The color changes and the sky along with it. This was taken in late May. The thaw had started the week before, but with freezing temperatures at night, this would take awhile.
Yellowstone Lake is the largest body of water in Yellowstone National Park. The lake is 7,732 feet above sea level and covers 136 square miles with 110 miles of shoreline. Are is 136 square miles. Maximum depth = 394 feet. Average temperature of the lake is 41F, 5C year 'round. With an average like that, it's like the guy with his head in the oven and his feet in the refrigerator and on average is very comfortable!
As we drove by, I got a quick glimpse of the lake. I pulled off at the next safe spot. I had to climb down a hill which was slick from both ice and mud, but I'm so glad I did: to the right was a loose flock of mating Barrow's Goldeneyes and because of the ice, they were close enough to shore for some really good shots. flic.kr/p/TzYscJ I was also very lucky with geyser eruptions, passing several with really irregular events blowing as we stood next to them! flic.kr/p/24sgzPE
Btw, note that the smaller tree is losing its fight with erosion. The bank of the lake has all but worn away, and there's an appearance of the tree floating over the lake.
If I had to choose one of my seven trips to Yellowstone, I would say that this was my favorite. The weather was perfect: cold at night; a long-sleeved shirt in the daytime. Billowing clouds daily. The bluest sky I can ever remember seeing. And the beginnings of the bird migration coming through. Oh, and no people (relatively speaking).
Already getting excited for the arriving spring. I know - it´s still winter, but after a long period of freezing temperatures and an even longer time with no sun I am ready for spring. Even saw the first hints of Flowers in my Garden. Well - and the winter aconites are starting to bloom right now!
Have a great Weekend!
PS: These are wild tulips: Tulipa bifloriformis or Tulipa turkestanica - I planted them nearby the pond some years ago. Love them!!!

What happens to Robins in the winter?
In the winter, they become nomadic, searching widely for their favorite cold-weather fare. Weather also influences robin movements. A heavy snowfall that persists for more than a few days may send them on their way, searching for better conditions. Robins also form flocks in the winter.
Can Robins survive snow?
Even in freezing temperatures, robins can stay warm enough to make staying through the winter worthwhile. ... If you want to observe robins in winter, try putting out water for them. They can survive on their own by eating snow, but birds always welcome a source of unfrozen water for drinking and bathing.
What do Robins eat when there is snow on the ground?
There isn't much one can feed robins in the winter. They're very adept at finding their preferred food and rarely visit feeding stations. During severe weather, robins may eat raisins, berries, or pieces of apples placed on the ground.
Do robins sing all day?
We know that robins are one of the first species to begin singing every morning. ... They sing the most early in the morning and at evening twilight after sunset. They sing the least around noon. We thought we could figure out approximately how many songs they sing each hour through the day, and add these up.
What is the sound of a robin singing?
It's a string of 10 or so clear whistles assembled from a few often-repeated syllables, and often described as cheerily, cheer up, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up. The syllables rise and fall in pitch but are delivered at a steady rhythm, with a pause before the bird begins singing again. At dawn, the song is more rapid.
Why do robins sing in winter?
The sound of a robin chirping in winter is a good sign, say scientists. It means the bird has built up enough fat reserves to survive the cold nights and has enough energy left to defend its territory. The bird traditionally sings in spring to attract a mate but in winter, when food is short, it faces a dilemma.

Nevada Sailing Stones
Bonnie Claire Playa
Nye County
Nevada
The sailing stones of Bonnie Claire Playa in Nevada are a natural phenomenon that has captivated observers for years. Scientists believe the movement is caused by a rare combination of rain, freezing temperatures, and wind, which creates a slick layer of ice that allows the stones to drift across the surface. Yet, standing in the vast, barren expanse of Bonnie Claire it’s easy to feel like something almost otherworldly is taking place—like the stones are alive, silently wandering in the desert under the open sky.
With mechanical issues rendering CN 2578 bad-ordered, the Dash 9 idles in the Gibbons siding under the glow of the AGT plant. It remained there for most of a week until it could be repaired, and with sub-freezing temperatures, it idled for most of that time. It only took one night for it to appear on the Gibbons Community Facebook page, where residents questioned how much longer they would have to endure the noise and diesel exhaust.

We had a heavy fog with freezing temperatures. Frost covered everything. It looked like thorns.
Lincoln, Nebraska
There are numerous tree-lines and copses on Penrith golf course, backs onto the Beacon Woods. With the freezing temperatures the hoar frost gives an appearance of fallen snow. This little copse caught my eye posing nicely, like a decoration on a cake!
Update September 27, 2015 - See tonight's "supermoon" total eclipse tonight! Moon rise occurs just before sunset on the West Coast, the moon will be fully eclipsed 7:11 - 8:23 pm. For eclipse phase timing in your area, see the article at www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2015-september-28
---
Notes from the April 5, 2015 lunar eclipse:
Lunar eclipses are a fun challenge, in part because they push the limits of your equipment. This shot was taken at 4:51 am yesterday, about 6-7 minutes before totality, so there was a sliver of bright sunlight on the moon.
The Canon EF 70-200 f/4 IS lens was well focused, but shooting any lens at it's maximum aperture tends to result in slightly less sharp images. Adding more glass elements such as the 2X teleconverter further challenges sharpness. Adding a teleconverter also reduces the f-stop, in this case 2X to f/8. I wanted to stay at or below below 1 second exposure time to reduce motion blur, and at ISO 1600 I could use 0.6 second. The high ISO also creates a little bit of noise, which can also challenge fine detail.
I had changed my shooting location when the weather forecast made the original ones I had identified look less attractive with below freezing temperatures, high winds, and possible clouds to obscure the eclipse. I decided to just catch what i could from home. I was shooting a time-lapse sequence, and shooting at 400mm I had room to lengthen the exposure time as the moon darkened, but and the moon set just before totality.
I had my Canon 70D with a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens on a star-tracking mount to capture a time-lapse of the eclipse progress without the moon moving out of the field of view. at 300mm the effective focal length was 480mm, but shooting wide open at f/5.6 that lens was a little softer than the EF 70-200mm and 2X teleconverter combo, even with the moon's relative motion taken out of the equation.
I was basically using the 5D Mark III to measure and track exposure as the eclipse progressed and the moon illumination constantly changed.
The 70D / 70-300mm combo is a lot lighter than the 5Dmkiii / 70-200mm / 2X combo. Heavier camera bodies and longer, heavier lenses can sometimes cause various problems with sky tracking mounts, but it may be worthwhile to test the 5Dmkiii /70-200mm / 2X setup on the sky tracker and backing off of the maximum aperture and a stop or two on the ISO to get more sharpness and less noise, lengthening the exposure time.
It's tough to perform relevant tests since lunar eclipses come so infrequently and I hate to effectively "waste" them with testing, but I could add filters to cut enough light to simulate an eclipse, so when an eclipses do arrive I've already determined the subtle impact of each decision: specific lens choice, opening the aperture all the way, using a teleconverter or not, various ISO settings, various exposure times with and without the sky tracker, exposure time vs. sky tracker motor vibration, and so on.
It was great to catch this intermittent waterfall in Lehigh Gorge State Park, Pennsylvania coming out of its shell with the recent above-freezing temperatures. This is a multi-tiered waterfall that typically only flows in the spring and after heavy rains - the upper tiers were just too nasty with ice for me to attempt.
Tech Specs: Canon 6D, Canon EF17-40mm f/4L USM lens, 1 and 3.2 second expposures, ISO 100, 17mm, tripod mounted. Date: January 27, 2018.
The new year brought freezing temperatures and with it freezing rain. The afternoon of 1/1/2022 has been dusting the frozen grass with snow. When my daughter and I were in a local parking lot we overhead a young girl say to her mom, "Look mom, it's Christmas" as the snow started to come down.
Natural ice formations created by the constant waves of the river during below freezing temperatures.
A chilly visit to Devils Tower National Monument this past March (3-4-2022) netted images of mystical fog toying with the rocky heights, an ebb and flow wholely dependent upon the occasional puff of breeze in the near-freezing temperatures. Black and white seemed another appropriate approach to presenting this magical place.

Skippers are a group of butterflies placed in the family Hesperiidae within the order Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits.
I've never been educated in the habits and nomenclatures of butterflies, and I keep forgetting most of the species we have regionally. I have photos of perhaps as many as 10 species, and that's nothing when I see images from Flickr folk from the UK. But, the flight patterns are unmistakeable; they are small; they love lantana; and once you get over the idea that you're not looking at a moth, you know as much as I do.
I'm fairly sure that this is a Fiery Skipper (Hylephila Phyleus) and I think it's sitting on a Mexican Sunflower. Both are common in the Diablo Valley. Not sure where I took this photo, but it must have been when Google invented "Walnut Heights," one of ten locations it says I've been in. But then again, Google says I live in "Bancroft, California:" There is no Bancroft, CA or There, there to quote Gertrude Stein who originally came from Where.
I needed a blast of red this morning. We had a "winter freeze warning" for the Diablo Valley with sustained (6 hours) of below freezing temperatures. (High of 58° is winterish for us, and I covered my plants last night, but real winter is when I have to cover exposed pipes.)
Pholiota squarrosa mushroom is also commonly known as the shaggy scalycap. This image contained 49 stacked captures. These guys attempted to emerge 3 times this month, but freezing temperatures melted them each time. They usually emerge in massive bundles but each time it was fewer and fewer emerging. I should avoid taking images of mushrooms after a rain.
This is Spider Rock, (no, it doesn't really look like a Spider to me, either) This was shot just this morning in Canyon de Chelly. It was snowing all morning, which made for some fantastic photography. It was also really nasty, windy and bitter. I LOVE snow, but I HATE cold. Being cold sucks! Alright, God... If you're so powerful, how about you do something about this? C'mon... Can't you raise the freezing temperature from 32º up to... Ummmmmmmm... How about 62º? Wouldn't that be nice? Out shooting a blizzard wearing short sleeves. Can you work on that? Thanks.

Between my knee replacement and the quick transition from Fall to freezing temperatures, many figs froze in place. The textures and colors of this one intrigued me. I believe this is a Hardy Chicago fig tree. A usual yearly harvest from the two trees is about a dozen figs over a 3 to 4 week period.
I can't resist a bouquet of flowers in spring. Then, waiting for a day with above freezing temperature, for an outdoor shot.

It was soaked in the park yesterday, and therefore springtail paradise. This morning there were freezing temperatures and the party will be over.

Capturing Northern Light is always wonderful but very stressful moment (you never know how intensive it will be in few seconds, where it will go etc). Finding a good place that would nicely compliment this natural phenomen can always be tricky. This rather well known viewpoint was one of the few on my wishlist. The night before, when I was also lucky with the Aurora, it was just dancing on a very different place. Luckily this particular night it perfectly complimented the composition.

On a cold Minnesota winter day, several horses find comfort in a shelter of trees that helps protect them against a biting wind and freezing temperatures.
The more I read about birds and animals I photograph the more I marvel at the Divine Design involved in each one. Horses, for example, can withstand temperatures down to -40F degrees as they have several features built into their physical makeup that helps them do this.
Horses grow a thicker coat of hair in the winter that is aided by small muscles in their skin that helps the hairs stand up to trap warmth in rather than lie down against their bodies as they do in the summer time. Also, their lower legs below the knees and hocks are mostly bones and tendons that do not freeze easily. A 3-sided shed or a stand of trees is often sufficient enough to keep a healthy, well-fed horse through our winters without harm.
In addition, the process of digesting hay or foraging creates the same type of heat produced by a compost pile.
3 months ago, my brother and I went on a photography trip to Yosemite. We arrived at Tunnel view about half an hour before sunset, set up our tripods and started taking photos of this classic view.
Upon returning home, I was so eager to see the results of that evening that I quickly picked a photo that showed the last sun rays of the day shining on the rocks and published it on Flickr immediately, figuring I would go back later to also pick another shot from later that evening.
Alas, I have 117 frames from that shoot, many of them long exposures just before pitch dark at freezing temperatures. I picked this one which I feel has the right combination of the blue sky, overall detail and tonality, along with an eerie glow along the mountain edges.

Still busy with my winter series.

The sea at Seaham today was very rough, with strong gusts, squally snow showers and freezing temperatures. Who wouldn't want to be out in it!
The namesake cactus preserved at the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona.
This is a warmth loving species that can be found on south facing rocky slopes in the monument. This location is critical during the winter months, when severe frosts can actually kill the entire cactus. Sub-freezing temperatures will kill young tissue at the end of the stems. When growth begins again, the results are indentations, or the appearance of circular waves on the organ pipes. Bumpy or wavy pipes are a record of previous battles with unusual cold.

Three male American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) take off from a group of around 100. I noticed these on the way back from an errand but Cedar waxwings took precedence yesterday. Lake Springfield is very low after a very dry winter and so this group was feeding together as a group. They are only migrating through on their way north. They will endure another cold front and rain today with near freezing temperatures early next week.
For the curious, "a group of pelicans is called a pod. Actually, there are many other names for pelican groupings — a pouch, a scoop, a squadron or if they are fishing as a group, a fleet." This group of three seems to fit a small squadron.
There's nothing quite like getting on the bird's level when photographing birds; even if it means laying on the ground in sub-freezing temperatures and waiting for that clear shot. www.miketimmonsphoto.com
On a cold winters day, there is nothing nicer than stepping into one of Alaska's old lodges. This one is located on the edge of a wilderness lake, and has a cozy ambience. Couple that with superb foods and beverages, and you will find it hard to put your coat back on, and make your way out into the sub-freezing temperatures.
In this photo you see just a small portion of the lodge. To the left of this shot there are many more tables, and a view looking out on the lake that will take your breath away.
Welcome to Alaska's true wilderness, and hosts that will make you feel like family.

To stand here and experience the freezing winds and temperature was quite something. I did not venture down onto the shoreline because it looked so slippy and I was close enough here. The sky was grey but it was not raining it was just so cold!!!

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography.
Check out these Icelandic timelapse videos :
► NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER JÖKULSÁRLÓN - THE GLACIER LAGOON, ICELAND
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS - AURORA BOREALIS OVER WESTERN ICELAND
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.
I dont think that I know any person that would not be fascinated by Northern Lights. I had a chance to see it in few places, included in Alaska, Norway or here in Iceland. Last night was fantastic, maybe not the strongest display but we were still amazed by those dancing lights above our heads. It should have been dragonite meteor night but I have seen only 5 falling stars, the aurora was on the other hand incredible experience. Thanks to nearly full Moon, the sky was nicely blue which I prefer to usual black color of the night.
