Many summer evenings the "Phantom Piper" of Kincardine can be heard & seen piping the sun down from this lighthouse.
.
je marche dans les petites rues,
je me suis éloignée
pour qu’il y ait moins de bruit,
sa voix si particulière me touche,
il dit « je compte sur toi »,
je dis « oui »,
*
Me llama por teléfono mientras
camino por las estrechas viejas
calles del centro,
me alejo para que no haya ruido
y escuchar mejor, su
voz, tan particularmente suave,
me alcanza de pleno.
Dice "cuento contigo".
Digo "sí".
Isabelle Baladine Howald (Mulhouse, Fr., 1957)

My youngest son asked me if that was what St Nicolas beard was made of. In some mixed forests, hair ice forms on rotten wood when a period of rain is followed by a period of ice, but only if the fungus Exidiopsis effusa is present in the forest.
The structure is a 100 m long reinforced concrete bridge (with no expansion joints or supporting structures) with a central span of 57 m above the motorway. The thickness of the structure at its centre is only 30 cm. The project was carried out by Canevas Architectes between 2021 and 2024.
I wanted do do something else, i was in the same mood as when i shot my Gummibears.
The bears made it to Explore, this one won't as i am again on an Explore ban ...
Never mind, i hope you all like it, it's very different of what i usually shoot.

Hair ice forms on damp, decaying wood of deciduous trees when temperatures are slightly below 0 °C (32 °F) and the air is moist. Generally, when a cold period follows a rainy period. Each of the smooth, silky hairs has a diameter of about 0.02 mm and a length of up to 20 cm. Evidence shows that the fungus Exidiopsis effusa is also necessary for the ice to form fine hairs by providing a recrystallisation inhibitor similar to antifreeze proteins.
Op de vrijdag van onze Luxemburgreis was het weer eigenlijk niet anders dan de voorgaande dag; bewolking overheersde en ondanks dat er in de loop van de dag een aantal opklaringen voorspeld waren, bleven deze uit. Aan het eind van de middag werd een tijdje doorgebracht op een heuvel bij Fentange, gelegen aan de lijn tussen Luxembourg en Bettembourg. De bewolking was dusdanig toegenomen dat de zon geen kans meer had om door te komen, een flinke tegenvaller. De begroeiing was ook een flink stuk hoger ten opzichte van een aantal jaar daarvoor; Een driedelig treinstel kon nog net gefotografeerd worden buiten de begroeiing.
In de beschrijving bij deze foto valt te lezen dat twee treinstellen uit de 2000-serie de dienst uitmaken op de spoorlijn tussen Bettembourg en Volmerange-les-Mines. Echter, in de middagspits vertrekt één rit vanuit Luxemburg en rijdt vanaf daar als RB 6537 naar Volmerange. Deze rit rijdt gepland met een Stadler Kiss. Zo valt dit materieel dus op deze zijlijn vast te leggen. Tevens betekent dit dat er een Stadler Kiss planmatig in Frankrijk komt, toch een leuk detail.
Op de heuvel bij Fentange komt CFL Kiss 2315 voorbij als RB 6537 naar Volmerange-les-Mines. Naast station Berchem slaat deze specefieke rit ook station Howald over; op dit station stoppen de RE-treinen naar Rodange wel.

Hair ice forms on moist, rotting wood from broadleaf trees when temperatures are slightly under 0 °C (32 °F) and the air is humid. Generally when a cold period follows a rainy weather period.
Each of the smooth, silky hairs has a diameter of about 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) and a length of up to 20 cm (8 in).
The fungus Exidiopsis effusa has been proven to shape the ice into fine hairs by providing a recrystallization inhibitor similar to antifreeze proteins.

As so many of you have shot fantastic pictures of this autumn season, I tried to shot something slightly different.
I hope you all will like it.
Small note: I have a “less humble” version which I will upload around Christmas ;-)
