There were a lot of stumps and branches sticking up out of the ice on the lake at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. The movement of the water in below freezing temperatures created this really interesting ice sculptures

Yesterday afternoon we had ideal conditions for landscape photography… a sky full of beautiful clouds and not a breath of wind to be felt!
I was itching to go out shooting again after all the pelting rain and freezing temperatures that we’ve had here in Cape Town this past week… so as soon as the light started looking nice… Jenny and I grabbed our cameras and went out to look for something interesting to photograph. I was holding my fingers tightly crossed that the sun would pass behind one of the gaps in the clouds to light up the foreground… but unfortunately it didn’t… so this was the best light that we got.
Okay… I know… I’ve got at least a hundred photos (if not more) in my stream that look similar to this one… so unfortunately I wasn’t really challenging myself with this. But hey… I do so love these reflective sunset compositions… heh heh… and I really loved squelching around in the mud in my gumboots… looking for the best foreground compositions! :)
Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm at 13mm, aperture of f13, with a 1/10th second exposure.
This one is a little dark... but it looks much better when viewed large on black.

It had been two years since last I had the pleasure of photographing a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) and today, finally, that drought came to an end in a flurry of snow. This female is roosting in a tree with her gentleman suitor seated on a branch not ten feet away. Hunkered down against the cold, they waited for nightfall—at just about the time of this posting, actually—when they would take wing and ferret out the night's meal. This lady might even be contemplating laying an egg or three, as GHOs lay them in the dead of winter when other birds are simply struggling to survive...or have slipped off to warmer climes. This seemingly insane tactic of sitting on eggs in freezing temperatures pays off in the end. The little owlets emerge before other springtime babies and just western New York is reacquainting itself with warmth…the perfect time to raise a young family!
(Look in the top right of the photo, and you may just make out the male owl's tail!)
Sunrise at North Lake
Once walking away from this apparently extremely popular photography spot at North Lake, I pondered if I wanted to head out or explore the area for a bit longer. Part of me certainly was not fully satisfied with the number of shots that I took. Only if I could get closer to the water…
I decided to walk up the dirt road for a bit to see what else was to catch my eye.
Then I saw a photographer who was walking about 200 yards ahead of me getting off the dirt road disappearing behind the shrubs grown along the road. I figured that it was an entry point to the side of this elongated lake. I soon followed his steps.
The opposite side of the lake was literally strewn with hundreds of beautiful aspens, if not thousands. And the reflections in the water were simply jaw dropping. It was one of those moments where you see it and simply can’t take your eyes off of it.
In the foreground this tall grass that would’ve been normally quite swampy acted as an extended part of land because they were all frozen, covered with frost, thanks to the freezing temperature. Of course, it meant that I started feeling numbness in my feet.
I love the fact that from where I stood both shorelines led the eye toward the foot of the canyon while the reflections of Mt. Emerson, Bishop Bowl and the ridge lines were simply mirror like. I knew that that stillness wouldn’t last long.
I got to work.
Henningsvaer, Lofoten, Norway.
Impressive to see the scale of the cod fishery and drying process.
Thankfully the freezing temperatures keep the smell of the drying fish to a minimum.
The yucca seemed to have taken a battering this past winter, with freezing temperatures and, at times, a bitterly cold wind from the east (which they hate).
But the lengthy warm spell in Spring and early summer has counter-acted any damage to all but one of my plants.

You haven’t seen Australia if you haven’t seen Cradle Mountains in Tasmania. That little island south of Australia packs more punch in terms of landscape than most of mainland Australia (imo). This is Dove Lake in Cradle Mountains and this spot is one of the more common photography locations in there. This image was shot at sunrise in freezing temperatures. I reached there way before sunrise so I spent the first hour inside the warmth of the car in the car park. Finally when I went ahead and walked to the spot, it had just started to light up. In the mountains, sunlight comes in late so overall, I spent about 3 hours for this one. It was my first trip to Tasmania and I made sure I visited Cradle. That was such a good idea.
A seven image pano each shot with my 16-35 mm Nikkor lens on my Nikon D610. Hope you like it.
This is probably one of the last images I will do in this style...this was taken ages ago with a much more raw and natural feel in mind.....many came out great but though.. this is the one that stood out the most...especially as it is.. I feel it still works as a photograph..but I'm starting to wonder...... with all this techy stuff... when do we stop dealing with 'imagery' and when are we actually producing photographs??
Thanks to:Andy Doig fro creating this sharp neon artwork, Fiona Macmillan....for getting it...and putting up with the absolutely freezing temperatures ...as this was back in winter...the snow had turned to ice and the streets were dead....the shot was taken late afternoon in the old abandoned music library turned art squat....and of course thank you to the good people of prescription who made this place what it was before it got metaphorically shat on...
This building is in the very center of Brighton, It has seen mad exhibitions, raves, old time speakeasies, magazine launches and chin stroking music students plus a one off night chatting and watching the one 'Ricky Powell' aka 'The 4th Beastie Boys' ,sharing his life in photos from the late 70s until today living breathing ,drinking and smoking New York City with his point and shoot...! were talking from the birth of Hip-Hop to Andy Warhol, and bumping into Cindy Crawford in a hotel kitchen corridor........bless up Ricky..you lovely bastard!
...its now being turned into a cafe rouge or some junk.....long live la revolucion!
This is a shot from last winter, I was acclimatating to cold situations to be ready in time my future trip to northern Europe and the freezing temperatures of the arctic night (shooting all night to auroras).
In reality I never found in Norway all the feared cold... indeed of this night in my neighbor "Valmalenco" I especially remember the fact that I have regained my fingers after only 3 months. Adventure NOT to repeat !
This Indy winter hasn't been all that brutal, but there have been times where you're stuck inside because the below-freezing temperatures aren't all that inviting. This captures my boredom, looking out the window waiting for Spring.
Last year our Lantana plants produced many flowers throughout the summer and fall. Even though they had survived freezing temperatures for many years, the freezers during the last winter were too much for them. There have been flowers this summer, but only a few.
For those of you that don't live here in Oregon, this is what happens when we get freezing temperatures in the Columbia River Gorge. I got out and shot some of the waterfalls and came across this scene while checking out Crown Point for the sunset. I have other shots of this spot from past years, but I have never gotten it like this when the light was just right...
Briantographys comment reminded me that as I was taking these shots and pointing my wide angle lens straight up, some ice fell to my left and startled me pretty good. After that I moved to the other side of the road :)

I never expected to see a Keel-billed Toucan, more so one flying in California. :) But I got lucky this year: one such exotic bird escaped captivity and for the last several months it's been hanging around some dental offices, a short drive from my house. Surprisingly, it survived through rain, hail and freezing temperatures of this historic winter. Many thanks to Mark who allowed me to use his photo for this drawing.

Bad floods this week. Devastating for many people who have had their homes, businesses and farms flooded. And the livestock and pets too who have had to be rescued in boats. I really feel for them. And add on the freezing temperatures. What a scary hell on earth it must be.

The clarity is not what I expected.
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.

Bryce Canyon City, UT - This shot was inspired by this week's Flickr Friday theme "Trip". I spent some time in southern Utah on a trip to see Bryce Canyon. The views were absolutely breathtaking.
These formations are called Hoodoos. When water seeps its way into the cracks in the rock, it resides there. When the area is met with freezing temperatures, the water trapped inside the rock begins to freeze into ice. When water freezes into ice, it expands. This expansion causes tremendous pressure on the surrounding rock and thus causes it to break apart. This process is known as “ice wedging” because the ice wedges apart the rocks.
Another random fact that has nothing to do with this picture is that the first KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) was opened in Utah, not Kentucky.

Summit day is D Day on Kilimanjaro. The toughest mentally and the most demanding physically. From waking in the early hours in pitch black and sub-freezing temperatures to collapsing exhausted at camp at the end of the day, there is no respite. But what a reward. Here is what to expect.
Whichever route you choose, you’ll be spending the night before summit at an altitude of around 4,600 – 4,700m. At this altitude there are three serious impediments to sleep, (1) Cold overnight temperatures (well below freezing) (2) Altitude Sickness (mild head-aches and mild nausea if you are lucky) and (3) anxiety about the climb ahead. Still, sleep you will and for those attempting a sun-rise summit, you’ll be setting off in the very early hours (after midnight).
The climb can be divided into two, the first ascent to the rim and then the traverse around the rim to Uhuru Peak. Machame reaches the rim at Stella Point (5,685m) whilst Marangu reaches the rim at Gillman’s Point (5,681m). You’re looking at a climb of around 1,000m in altitude gain from camp to the rim. This section involves a slow tack up the scree that, in the dark at least, affords little views other than the countless head torches of your fellow climbers snaking up the mountain.
Reaching the crater rim offers the most visceral sense of having summited Kili. Many climbers, having hauled their unwilling bodies to this point, would quite happily call it a day here. It is not an unusual site to see trekkers flat out on their backs, whilst their guides try to cajole them back on their feet. It is a very bad idea to lie down at this point. A quick photograph, a snack and up is the safest approach.
Depending on your route, the crater rim traverse can take 1 – 2 hours. If it weren’t for the prior exertions and extreme altitude this would be little worse than a walk in a City park. Unfortunately at this stage, legs are heavy, oxygen is scarce and temperatures are low. The view can be incredible, with the lunar landscape of the crater itself to one side, the dramatic glaciers and if you are lucky, far reaching views over the plains of Africa.
Uhuru Peak is the highest point on the rim and at an altitude of 5,895m, the highest point in all Africa. Depending on when you summit you may have to queue to get your de riguer summit photo in front of the jauntily angled summit sign. There are several poignant memorials at the summit, but a surprisingly scarce sense of drama. The emotion experienced by most is one of pure intense relief at having made it !

Went to Lock and Dam #14 in Iowa in freezing temperatures and was out for 3 hours in the cold. Wasn't able to get consistent focus with this Nikon. This is one of the few that had spot on focus.
5dmkII with EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM +2.0x
Lake Sammamish, from Marymoor Park.
for those of you who remember my series on Lake Sammamish, NO, this is NOT from two years ago! i actually took it yesterday morning. i decided to give it a try at going to the lake again, early in the morning yesterday. no regrets having done so. it was so amazing that i actually went back this morning, despite the freezing temperatures.
i admit i am more interested in architectures, silhouettes, as well as situations where both can be smartly combined into successful scenes. However, neglecting landscape photography is just not good. besides, the black and white approach allows me so see things in an entirely different angle. kind of like a renewal, for the better. No need to say, it was a job for my 5dmkII as well as telephoto lenses.
having bought an m9 as well as the ricoh GRDiv, i soon realized i wasn't going to be capable to selling my L glass and long lenses in exchange. maybe one day, but for now they're still part of my creative process.
on a side note: this is shot at f14. the problem is that the 5dmkII sensor is SO dusty, i had litterally dozens of black dots on the photo. it took me 20 minutes to remove all of them. i guess shooting above f4 is becoming an issue with such a dusty sensor.
I feel like I didn't get anything done today. I booked a hotel for my mom and sorted through the weekend's pictures and definitely didn't do my homework like I should have. I felt sleepy all day, so the fact that I dragged my carcass out of the house into the freezing temperatures really is quite an accomplishment.
A sunny cold day at Sawpit Bay on eastern Lake Superior- -about 80 km north of Sault Ste. Marie Ontario.
Fast ice is an extensive unbroken sheet of ice that is “fastened” to the shoreline or shoals; the ice forms from freezing temperatures (air and water), waves, drift ice, and snowfall. The fast ice at Sawpit Bay is about a meter thick.
On a lazy warm day wading in the shallows... unlike the call for snow we have today and sub freezing temperatures. I guess the contrast only helps to make the good times better.
Cool mornings at the start of bloom drop. Almond Industry has a problem coming this week with below freezing temperatures. For every 30 minutes at 27 degree F results in 5% almond loss. Sustained temperatures below 26 degrees is good bye harvest. Timing is everything, 2 weeks earlier and this would not have been a problem.

“The Fish” strikes again! This is one of my last shots from this interesting place. As I look at it I’m reminded of how I had the world’s worst runny nose from the freezing temperatures. However, this stairway just couldn’t be ignored.
A few of you guys are probably wondering if I disappeared off the face the Earth, especially Exposure.Detroit members. I can definitely say I’m attending the May show! I’m about 60 days away from getting married and little tasks are popping out of the woodwork everywhere. See ya guys!

Another view of one of the coldest places in the country. See my previous post for a description. It gets so cold in these basins due to temperature inversions that trees do not grow in the bottom of them. You can see small scrubby trees as you go up the hill and then larger ones higher up. (My previous post shows the inverse treeline much better.) Peter Sinks just over the hill on the left off the photo is said to never go more than four days with freezing temperatures year around. There is practically no vegetation in the bottom of that basin because the growing season is only four days long. In spite of the very cold temperatures in the winter, it is a popular spot for snow mobile riding. I was here on a relatively warm day, 32 F, 0 C, and could walk on top of the snow where the snow machines had been, but the dry powder snow just crackled under my feet. View large.
We tend to get freezing fog during winter when temperatures are around freezing temperature and there are clear skies and calm conditions. As a result of these conditions, freezing fog will be visible on the windward side of the object.
One of the many photos of these that I now have from a brilliant holiday in scotland (first week in Dumfries & Galloway and second week in Ullapool). This shot was taken at Bellymack Hill Farm feeding station, and it was amazing, especially having camped out waiting for a buzzard in a hide for several hours in freezing temperatures and to not see one and to see these at the allotted time, and to just have 100 of them circling round and to then see them all swoop in for the food at once was just - something else!!
Some ice has formed along the shore of the Richelieu River on the second day in a row that Quebec has had well below freezing temperatures, as VIA 35 crosses the river with VIA 6445 leading a mixed consist of five cars.

Very brief introduction to Pallas's Cat aka Manul (Otocolobus manul). Click on the link above to view the film (90 seconds). Look for a longer film next winter. This cat is famous for its "grumpy" look, but it's a unique and specialized species. Located on the steppes of Eastern Mongolia, the setting proved very cold, rugged and remote. But the long flights and freezing temperatures were well worth it. Our expert spotters and trackers, led by Mr. Otgonbayar Baatargal Otgonbayar Baatargal (affectionately known as “Oogie”), located and brought us to the cats. The landscape also is a big part of the story, and we aim to share more footage of it in the longer film. Our gracious hosts at the Steppe Wildlife Conservation and Research Center made our stay comfortable and warm - we appreciate their hospitality.
Our narrator was unfortunately on the sidelines for this short intro film - battling a bad cold and frostbite from our trip to Mongolia to film this cat. So the captions are pulling extra duty here.

feel free to interpret!
this was definitely inspired by lady gaga^^
It had 9 degrees outside - after days of freezing temperatures - so I decided to take a photo. I tried the Brenizer Method here...it is easier than I thought! maybe this is not the best picture to show its advantages and how it works but I will definitely give it another try!
my boyfriend helped me here which was cool because without him this would have been pretty hard. but it always makes me nervous if some other is releasing the shutter...

Lake Superior sunrise at Cottrell Cove at -15°C - -about 80km north of Sault Ste. Marie.
Fast ice is an extensive unbroken sheet of ice that is “fastened” to the shoreline or shoals; the ice forms from freezing temperatures (air and water), waves, drift ice, and snowfall. The fast ice at Cottrell Cove varies from one to two meters thick.
The Anna's Hummingbird I am told have been over wintering in Abbotsford for at least 10 years but -8 is really pushing it for comfortable temperatures for them.
I had to replace the food in my frozen feeder multiple times yesterday and this morning two of my hummers made it through the night. I had picked up some pocket warmers and attached them to the base of the feeder and that helped to extend the time between slush forming, but they are far from ideal. I really need to get a hummingbird feeder heater. I would likely only need it for a few days a year. If the weather forecast can be believed it will start warming up today but we look to have a couple more days of below freezing temperature. It is not so much the temperature as the wind. No wind and generally my feeder does not freeze.

I actually saw three of these. I never expected to see a butterfly because we had freezing temperatures a week ago, and right now there are no wildflowers anywhere of any kind. Period. The only green there is are a few buds on trees and bushes and some of the grass. I have no idea what these butterflies could be eating to sustain them.
Lincoln, Nebraska
I provided better contrast than earlier attempts. Some annoying flicker may have been due to the freezing temperatures interfering with the security camera's auto-exposure.
Elapsed time is 1 hour.
We had freezing temperatures overnight recently. Dora was delighted and very curious about the sheet of ice on top of her pool when she went out to play. She had the best time sliding her hands across the surface. When it was time to bring her back inside, our little butterball was more like a cold, wet snowball in my arms.

Another one which has brushed up better almost 5 years down the line after a spell in LR. Hardly arty but some interest value from both traction and old-style Freightliner containers putting in an appearance on what was likely a Birmingham Lawley Street - Nottingham FLT depot working.
Original commentary
With good light, blue (ish) skies and freezing temperatures I was hoping to catch a class 45 at Meadow Lane foot crossing between Attenborough and Beeston. Instead class 25 no. 25194 shows up working a freightliner headed for Nottingham FLT a couple of miles down the track. Taken on 9th February 1978.

This is my very first Sigma shot & my very first attempt on vertorama too!:)
Please feel free to help me by giving constructive feedback as i'm still learning on this technique ;)
This shot was just taken this evening at mount lofty lookout after braving the freezing temperature to test out this Sigma wide angle lens before i am out of town tomorrow morning ;)
I will be flying to Victoria tomorrow for 4-5 days and most probably wouldn't have any internet access. My flight is at 6am in the morning so gotta wake up at 4am i reckon ..opps! that would definitely shrink my nuts for sure haha! Therefore please bear with me for a while if i haven't get to your photostream & emails, i will reply to them once i get back to Adelaide next week :D
In the meantime, enjoy a great weekend & see you soon!

Photo came out quite artistic due to the beautifully unpredictable weather in Iceland. Moody skies and freezing temperatures make for an amazing adventure. It's probably my favourite place in the world. This Sun Voyager monument is a stunning piece located in Reykjavik.
Due to all the flooding in Washington this week, I temporarily suspended my Olympic Peninsula plans in favor of a drive east of Eugene to visit Sahalie and Koosah Falls. I was nervous about the roads and chain controls, but nothing but freezing temperatures and super-bright sunshine greeted me along the way.
My jaw dropped when I came in sight of Sahalie Falls. She has about a foot of snow in places, but the area around the base is largely clear of everything but ice and a light dusting of snow. Double and triple rainbows danced through the 100+ feet of mist pouring off the falls, as 10-foot splashes gushed up from the mossy basin.
The best part of the basin was the mossy lagoon on the left side, full of rainbows and sunlit moss. Pure magic!
