This is the agricultural landscape to the south west of Turin, captured as our airplane banked sharply before its final descent. Very often, images through aircraft windows are distorted or tinted but I was quite pleased with the detail and sharpness here.

folded medial moraines caused by irregular flow (surges):
"A complex flow pattern, indicating periodic oscillation of ice discharge from the Seward Glacier, has built an intricate pattern of folded medial moraines as this sheet of ice spreads out across the plain. Medial moraines extend deep below the surface, hence more debris is concentrated at the surface as the ice is removed by melt. This explains why the moraine pattern, faint at the center of the Malaspina Glacier, gets stronger as the ice flows toward the edge." - from one of my favorite books, "Glacier Ice" by Austin Post and Edward R. Lachapell

Amazing location close to where we live.
Monferrato hills, Piedmont, Italy. Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are places among precious wines, villages and castles. Wonderful landscapes sculpted by the combined action of nature and man, gentle hilly expanses dotted with wines as far as the eye can see, ancient villages surrounded by fields and imposing castles perched on hilltops.

With the sun low in the sky on the evening of Monday, December 19, 2022, northbound Amtrak train 76 cruises into downtown High Point, NC.
Westbound Piedmont train 77 at Pomeroy Street, just east of Burlington. In a few short minutes, they'll complete their stop at Burlington and continue toward Charlotte. This is the fourth and final of the daily westbound Piedmont trains under the current Amtrak/NCDOT schedule.
We always stop in Atlanta on our way up to the Carolina's to see family. I have always wanted to get this shot at Piedmont Park in Downtown Atlanta. My husband has been against my going over there as it has a high crime rate at night. On this particular weekend it was crowded with an event so we thought we would go early and see how it went. The park was very crowded...there were only two other photographers at the small lake (they did not stay long). I got a few shots and we headed back to the parking area. I will admit I was glad when we finally reached the car. This park is beautful during day but it does have a strange feeling at night.
VAL PELLICE-PIEMONTE- ITALY ( Il lungo inverno del villaggio)
Per queste piccole borgate, ubicate ai piedi delle montagne, inizia il periodo più critico dell' anno. A causa del sole molto basso all'orizzonte nel periodo invernale, godranno di pochissime ore al giorno, se non addirittura per niente, di luce solare diretta.
VAL PELLICE-PIEMONTE- ITALY (The long winter of the village)
For these small villages, located at the foot of the mountains, the most critical period of the year begins. Due to the sun being very low on the horizon in winter, they will enjoy very few, if any, hours a day of direct sunlight.
