Following on with the 'impromptu relelvent title series'... this seemed to fit and obviously a word we are now using in regularly in our everyday lives, as opposed to only using it when referring to the rather excellent Joy Division track of the same name...
Anyway... this is Arnastapi in Iceland, on the wonderful Snaefellsness Peninsula.
A fresh covering of snow had left this scene looking just glorious with enough rock detail coming through to break up the bright whites.
This was shot not long after sunrise with some lovely light falling over the fresh now and hitting the mountains and glacier to the rear, not the easiest of shots to get right to keep the snow bright white without any blown out details and retaining the sky detail / colour in full.
I think if you had the supplies to dig yourself in here for the duration you would be hard pushed to find a better location I think.

The number of calling Chiffchaffs has been increasing too and eventually I caught up with one who sat still for me
There were a lot less people about today so I was able to wander slowly.
A while ago I needed to get away. I visited my "home-island" for a few days. The Big Island is a very special place. Whenever I arrive there I breathe a sigh of relief, and feel that I’ve finally come home - again.
There will be no pinholes of volcanic eruptions this time. I spent most of my hours alone and within eyesight of a bayside hotel.

High tide at St Mary's Lighthouse at Whitely Bay on a horrible dull and overcast day. No more access for several house so I hope they have enough milk!
In a another attempt to create "painterly bokeh with some texture to it" (as in a painting on canvas or something like that) I thought it might be a good idea to experiment with high-ISO. Of course it degrades image quality overall, but who cares... let's just pretend, this particular painter doesn't care too much about the details! 😂

Rubh'a Chruidh
It emerged that a retired farmer from Beauly, had beaten the TV star to it. Lanarkshire businessman David Hamilton, the island’s previous owner, confirmed he has sold the island for “near enough the asking price.”Mr Hamilton said that although Fogle had not put in an offer, there had been “tremendous interest” from potential buyers for the tidal island, which is attached to the tip of the isle of Kerrera. Mr Hamilton, who demolished the only house on Rudh-A-Chruidh, an old bungalow, to make way for a stunning architect designed home, owned the island, which has its own helipad and boathouse, for six years.He said he sold it because other commitments meant he and his wife, Grace, did not have as much time as they had hoped to visit it and added: “It was a great project, I really enjoyed the building and I am delighted that the island has gone to somebody local that knows the area and has the time to enjoy it, more than we did.

Leviticus 13:46 “The whole time he has the infection he will be continually unclean. He must live in isolation, and his place of residence must be outside the camp.”
The whole family is now in isolation until the 20th December due to positive Covid tests, bored, bored, bored, so went into the garden to clear up after Max, non-dog walk deposits and took a few shots......
Times are changing, the coldness is coming, the isolation also. Numb will it be in a few days time, with a cold frost.
