Another shot from my early morning trip out to this fabulous light-house ,,,,,,blessed with wonderful sun-rise colours ....but man was it cold !!!!!
Have a great week-end every-one
There is some heat coming from under this little bridge along the Waterfront Recreational Trail, so the ice is thawed here and it is like a spa for these ducks and one swan. It feels like -24 Celsius this morning
Best seen large by clicking on the photo.

On new years eve, Lutsen has a torchlight parade down the ski hill, and fireworks. I figured we had prime space for viewing right from the deck at the place we were staying, so I set up the camera and tripod. We did have a great place to see the parade, but not the fireworks. As it was about 0 degrees outside, I didn't want to move from the deck during the fireworks (less access for ducking back inside to keep warm), so I didn't get any shots of the fireworks. Chris was pretty impressed with them.
Anyway, a late "Happy New Year" to everybody.

Alas - as I had to stay in Bergen last Monday I decided to have a two hour photo session there on Tuesday morning.
Bergen did what Bergen does best - RAIN! More than that really - it was a torrential downpour throughout my stay with raindrops the size of planets. I had no umbrella....
This was the start at about 10:30am and it didn't get any lighter than this. I shall be sharing these moments of misery with you on and off during the next week or so!
The rising warm, humid air from the fumaroles is most clearly visible in frosty temperatures. Due to the particularly freezing air temperature in the morning, a visit at dawn is especially impressive.
..................................................
Bei frostigen Temperaturen ist die aufsteigende feuchtwarme Luft der Fumarolen am deutlichsten zu sehen. Wegen der am Morgen besonders eisigen Lufttemperatur ist ein Besuch ab Beginn der Morgendämmerung besonders eindrucksvoll.
Went for a walk this morning with my camera and came across this Highland Bull having his face warmed in the morning winter sun..... probably most welcome as it was about -10 last night.
We met a local photographer on our way to the bird hide at Llangorse Lake who told us about the starlings coming to roost. We waited until dusk and were rewarded by the sight of thousands of starlings. Not the best shots but I was just so pleased to see the birds - especially as it was freezing cold and my feet lost all feeling!
The shots are not very good but after standing in the freezing cold didn't want to delete them all!

Marken is a village near Amsterdam and it occupies a peninsula in the Markermeer. It was formerly an island in the Zuiderzee. From the dike you have a magnificent view over the many mounds on Marken. The Rozewerf still got the original look of this ancient settlement which are still the characteristic and monumental buildings. It's really just on the dike that protects the water, once the Zuiderzee now the Markermeer. The area around Rozewerf was also regularly flooded after it came to be by the sea. Eventually a low dike was constructed leaving only skipped water at larger storms. Rozewerf with 12 icebreakers which are derived from the 12 apostles. The twelve wooden icebreakers dating in construction in 1872. The icebreakers have cultural and historical value because it authentic in appearance and become rare examples of de-icing facilities. Since the construction of the Dam there has been no more trouble. However, it has been affected by the drifting ice in the winter. The lighthouse 'Horse of Marken' stands on its own tiny island at the end of a narrow causeway and is almost completely surrounded by water, which makes its location so photogenic. Particularly in winter, when after a long period of frost during which the IJsselmeer was largely frozen over the thaw set in and the ice was starting to drift you could shoot spectacular pictures here. Fishermen went with a sliding carriage, fishing net, long stick and axe for ice fishing like their ancestors in Marken. Fishing for sparkling and flounder was a nice additional income in those days. It looks like fun but not without risk. In the old days fishermen felt with regularity in a ice-field hole and became super cooled or even drowned.
As temperatures plunge across Europe, many are cursing the cold. But not in the Netherlands. Many are hoping for further frigid conditions. Photo of hummocks taken at the Markermeer near Marken. A hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field, Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period.
Marken is een voormalig eiland, nu een schiereiland, in het Markermeer. De Rozewerf is een buurtschap gelegen op Marken. Rozewerf is van oorsprong een terp, dat een werf wordt genoemd. Rozewerf ligt echt maar net aan de dijk die het beschermt van het water, ooit de Zuiderzee thans het Markermeer. Het gebied rondom Rozewerf stond ook regelmatig onderwater nadat het aan zee kwam te liggen. Uiteindelijk werd een lage dijk aangelegd waardoor er alleen bij wat grotere stormen water oversloeg. Sinds de aanleg van de Afsluitdijk heeft men daar ook geen last meer van. Wel heeft men last van het kruiende ijs in de winter. Daarom staan er ook ijsbrekers net buiten de dijk in het Markermeer. Er staan 12 ijsbrekers welke zijn afgeleid van de 12 apostelen. De twaalf houten ijsbrekers dateren in aanleg uit 1872. De vuurtoren 'Paard van Marken' staat op zijn eigen piepkleine eilandje aan het einde van een smalle dijk en is bijna volledig omgeven door water, wat de ligging zo fotogeniek maakt. Het Paard van Marken is een vuurtoren van Marken. De vuurtoren is gebouwd in 1839 en staat op de oostelijke punt van het eiland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 16 meter en een lichtbereik van 16,7 km. Vooral in de winter met het kruiend ijs kan je hier spectaculaire foto's maken. Foto van kruiend ijs langs de dijk naar Marken. Op de achtergrond zie je de flats van Almere.

It was snowing in the Langeberg Mountains - just a quick 'Hallo' from a wonderful freezing cold tour with great, great people!
Not a brilliant image - just to show you - there is snow in South Africa!

Hope you guys are having a great Saturday! :) I went on a loooooong walk with my mommy and my baby! Want to take some new photos, but it's soooooooo cold, my hands stayed in my pockets! Brrrr ...
Wish you all a lovely rest of the day! xoxo
Please no large glittery graphics or big group invites!
Explored ... #292! :D
It was challenging winter conditions for a photo outing that morning: freezing temperatures of - 29 C, gusting winds of 40 km/h and three feet of snow. However, for us proud and true Canadians, cold temperatures and rapidly changing conditions throughout the winter are the norm for most of us.
Congratulations Team Canada on your GREAT win yesterday in Boston!

Les conditions hivernales étaient difficiles pour une sortie photo ce matin-là : des températures glaciales de -29 °C, des vents soufflant à 40 km/h et trois pieds de neige. Cependant, pour nous, fiers et vrais Canadiens, les températures froides et les conditions changeantes tout au long de l'hiver sont la norme pour la plupart d'entre nous.
Félicitations à l’équipe canadienne pour sa GRANDE victoire hier à Boston !

So they can't blow away, the good spirits of the street – the trees are pretty steadfast. And unshakable, despite the wind and freezing cold. And – such a flurry of snow can do magic. Right?
/
Although it seems like I gave my last in image editing, my camera did a great job here and conjured up this mood in advance :-)
///
So können sie nicht wegwehen, die guten Geister der Straße – die Bäume sind hübsch standhaft. Und unerschütterlich, trotz Wind und Eiseskälte. Und – so ein Schneetreiben kann zaubern. Oder?

Obwohl es so scheint, als hätte ich mein Letztes gegeben bei der Bildbearbeitung, hat meine Kamera hier ganze Arbeit geleistert und schon vorher diese Stimmung gezaubert :-)

Frozen Ice Play....Karen and i went to the new chinguacousy skating area and took a few photos.
the temperature was well below freezing -22 with the wind chill. only the bravest souls were out skating: mostly children and a few overdressed parents standing at the sides yelling encouragement to the little ones.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

It will be k-k-cold this weekend. The temperature can drop to -15 degrees celcius and that means of course only one thing: skating! After a few nights of good frost we could skate on February 12, 2021 at the Gouwsea. Waterland in the winter is a real skater’s paradise. As temperatures plunge across Europe, many are cursing the cold. But not in the Netherlands. Many are hoping for further frigid conditions. Today my daughter Samantha and friend Casper are joying me skating. A historical moment since crossing the Gouwsea by skates is such a rare occurrence. Today we skate 12km from Uitdam, de Nes to Marken and back, such a beautiful sea of ice to enjoy. An infinitely beautiful sight on this icy sea in 2021. It was a pleasure. The meadows here are white, the Gouwzee completely frozen and the breath comes out of my mouth in small gray puffs. Put your hands behind your back. Breathe calmly. I enjoy the sound of the irons over the ice and the beautiful view of the snowy landscape . The ice surface is great here. Besides ice skating Dutch also love Ice yachting. This is the sport of sailing and racing iceboats and is very popular in the Netherlands. Ice boats are racing at a speed of 100 km an hour over the ice of the Gouwsea. The centre of ice yachting is in Monnickendam.
Today 12th of February 2021 we got the opportunity to go ice skating on real ice instead of going to an ice rink. A good freeze only comes from a win in the climatic lottery. Thus the chance for our Dutch to be wild adventurers on their own land comes only every few years. We glide across solidified, frosted lakes with fish frozen into the ice. The Gouwsea in the winter are a real skater’s paradise. In Monnickendam the ice is only suitable for ice yachting. From here the ice yachtings are crossing the Gouwzee to Marken. We visit Monnickendam. From Monnickendam to Marken island is about 4km of disctance. It is not often that the Gouwsea is completely frozen.
Het wordt k-k-koud dit weekend. De temperatuur kan dalen tot wel -15 graden en dat betekent natuurlijk maar één ding: schaatsennn! Na een paar nachten goede vorst konden we op 12 februari 2021 schaatsen op de Gouwzee. Na een extra nacht van vorst ligt het ijs er redelijk goed bij. Eindelijk weer heerlijk ijs om voor schaatsliefhebbers de ijzers onder te binden. Er kan heerlijk kilometers geschaatst worden tussen Uitdam, De Nes en Marken. Vandaag gaat mijn dochter Samantha mij met vriend Casper. Je beleeft de natuur op plekken waar je normaal niet kan komen. De Gouwzee is een paradijs voor schaatsers uit het westen van Nederland, omdat het meestal het eerste grootschalige gebied is waar men goed kan schaatsen op natuurijs. Maar het blijft een historische gebeurtenis. Vele schaatsenrijders zoeken vandaag de bevroren oppervlakte van de Gouwzee op voor een schaatsrit langs de dijk van Uitdam, De Nes naar Marken. Een mooie rit van zo'n 12km. Een oneindig mooi gezicht op deze ijszee anno 2021. Het was genieten. De weilanden zijn hier wit, de Gouwzee totaal bevroren en de adem komt in kleine grijze pufjes uit mijn mond. Handen op de rug. Rustig ademen. Ik geniet van het geluid van de ijzers over het ijs en het prachtige uitzicht over de besneeuwde landschap. Het ijs is geweldig hier. De ijszeilers hebben hun plek in Monnickendam. Hier is het ijs te slecht om te schaatsen, maar voor de ijszeilers geen probleem. Vanaf hier steken ze de Gouwzee over naar Marken. Een oneindig mooi gezicht op deze ijszee anno 2021. Het was genieten. Jong en oud staan op het ijs, zelfs koek en zopie is present bij de zeilclub van Monnickendam. Met spectaculaire snelheden van wel 80 tot 100 kilometer per uur razen de ijszeilers over bevroren meren en plassen: ijszeilers hebben deze dagen de tijd van hun leven. Vanaf Monnickendam naar Marken is ongeveer een afstand van 4 km. Het komt niet vaak voor dat de Gouwzee helemaal bevroren is.
from the archives. this was taken last february. i remember it being bitterly cold and my fingers were so numb it took double time to adjust the settings on the camera. it was about 5pm and the sun was setting. i can recall very clearly that the air was so quiet, so calm, so still.
We met a local photographer on our way to the bird hide at Llangorse Lake who told us about the starlings coming to roost. We waited until dusk and were rewarded by the sight of thousands of starlings. Not the best shots but I was just so pleased to see the birds - especially as it was freezing cold and my feet lost all feeling!
The shots are not very good but after standing in the freezing cold didn't want to delete them all!
It was one of those cold misty mornings with not much to see which makes you ponder why you went up the hills but your glad you did. As the Talking Heads classic goes...
Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen.
Prayers go out for all the people suffering in the ice storms and freezing cold without electricity. Our state was declared a disaster on April 1st last year. We spent 5 days without power, and some went a couple weeks.
It took us all spring and into the summer cleaning up the broken and downed trees in our yard. Many were such beautiful trees we had planted. It broke our hearts.
God Bless Us All and pray for strength and courage for what is ahead of us yet to come. The USA and the world will never recover from Hitler and the Nazi's in the White House.
People just don't learn from the past. "Never Again" are just empty words.

Had to use my iPhone as it was too cold to bring out the camera. Bubbles frozen to the snow. It is -33C or -27.4F.

This is the Marken lighthouse, given its name due to its shape ('paard' means 'horse' in dutch). The original was built in 1700, then reconstructed on top of the early foundations in 1839. It's still in use today. Next to the lighthouse you can see hummocks. A hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field, Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period.

In het dikke ijs moesten ze eerst een bijt hakken. Daarin werden dan lange stokken met een net eraan geschoven om de spiering binnen te halen. Het was in die tijd een mooi bijverdienste. Het ziet er leuk uit, maar niet zonder risico. Vroeger vielen vissers met regelmaat door het ijs en raakten onderkoeld of verdronken zelfs.

...seldom have I seen my wee part of Scotland look so beautiful, and yet so inaccessible.
I enjoyed snow photography so much last year, I've prayed for it's return ever since.. could say I got my wish this week, but for 3 days I couldn't get much farther than the house! Finally got for a wander through knee deep snow and temp of -13˚C, to see a very colourful winter sunrise. Never known snow like this so early in the season.
