Helios 44M
A week ago it got as cold as -8C with about 25 cm of snow on the ground. Today with temperatures above 9C and the snow rapidly melting these mushrooms survived.
Just need 3 times hike to have great light condition.
The perseverance paid off!

Lonely House on the Atlantic Road
( Møre og Romsdal, #Norway. #Photograph by #GustavoThomas © 2023)
It was cloudy and raining, I couldn't see from a short distance during hours. Suddenly the rain stopped and some clarity appeared far away near the mountains. The sea was still wild with waves making wonderful undulating lines. That house became a symbol of strength and perseverance.
Perseverance: continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition : the action or condition or an instance of persevering : steadfastness
I'm not sure of the age of this Ponderosa Pine...150-200 years, perhaps? It's growing in a sandstone canyon. Seen on a hike in the Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. While not as spectacular as Antelope Canyon, the slot canyon that runs through the monument is awe inspiring.

Near Criação Velha on the island of Pico in the Azores, basalt stones have been meticulously stacked into walls, creating small rectangular plots known locally as currais (corrals). Within these enclosures, grapes are carefully cultivated. Vineyards were first established here in 1450 by a Franciscan friar called Frei Grande (“Big Friar”), who introduced the verdelho grape to the island.
Sitting in the center of some of the currais is the Moinho do Frade (Friars Mill). This mill built in 2003 and 2004 is a reconstruction of the type of mills that were common on Pico during the early settlements. Most were used to grind cereals and grains. It makes it good overlook to see the labyrinth of currais in the area.
As time passed, two additional grape varieties were brought to Pico and are now grown alongside verdelho. The island has since become renowned for its fine wines. The basalt walls, shielding the grapevines from harsh winds and salty air, contribute to a striking coastal landscape. The vineyards stretching around Criação Velha are recognized as a protected cultural landscape in Portugal and have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. This area is well known for its viniculture.
The volcanic flow at Criação Velha, where the vineyards are located, is dated to be 1,500 years old. Transforming this rugged terrain into fertile vineyards required immense effort and ingenuity. It stands as a powerful testament to the perseverance and dedication of the Picarotos (residents of Pico).

It's been quite sometime since I woke up at 4 am to go out for sunrise photo. It's always a guessing game. The fun part is when the pitch black sky starts to give way to slight hues of orange. I'll never get tired of it.
Even several days after being cut down and shoved into the yard waste can, with the leaves wilting, this one flower still shines on.
Selective coloring is a process I have long been fascinated with but not yet mastered. Here is another of my meager attempts at it.
Our perseverance is a gift from God. In our salvation, God blesses us with assurance through His gift of perseverance (2 Thessalonians 3:5). However, many Christians lack full assurance of their salvation because their understanding of assurance is founded on the constantly changing emotions of their hearts rather than on the eternal Word of God. (Burk Parsons)
Looking up the Stone Door in the middle of the path. The opening of the great Stone Door from the top is a 10-foot-wide but the steps are about 2'-3' long and 6"-10" wide and the stone path is quite narrow over 100-feet-deep crack in the sandstone bluff!

This was a tough shot to get with the light really low (we were late taking off and the sun had well set down on the ground) and the plane vibrating quite a lot - a large degree of perseverance (and about 25 shots) gave me this one which was probably the best of the bunch.
This is untouched by any software and straight out of the camera :-)
Taken on 15th September 2007 from Ryanair FR109 STN-SNN @ 20.10 GMT probably over the Cotswolds area of the UK.

Lifer (hautement recherché)
Merci énormément pour vos commentaires, ils sont toujours très appréciés et merci pour votre loyauté, car je ne suis vraiment pas gâté coté internet et électricité ces jours-ci...
Enfin, l'électricité est revenue hier et l'internet aujourd'hui. Je peux enfin partager certaines des meilleures images et Lifers de ce voyage. Voici ce fabuleux Pic à poitrine rouge qui était sur ma Wish List.
Je ne suis pas parvenu à trouver ce superbe mâle seul, c'était ma toute dernière journée sur L'Île de Vancouver. En cette fin d'après-midi avant le grand Road Trip vers l'est du Canada. Comme pour plusieurs de mes trophées photographiques que j'ai ramené de l'île de Vancouver c'est avant tout grâce à ma merveilleuse guide et amie qui l'a finalement déniché après mainte et mainte recherche de sa part avec moi durant mon court séjour. Le voici donc ce fabuleux Pic.
Je ne remercierai jamais assez mon amie pour sa grande persévérance et dévotion lors de mon séjour. Merci beaucoup.
Sooke, British Columbia, Canada.
Lifer (Highly Wanted on my wish list)
Thank you very much for your comments, they are always very much appreciated and thank you for your loyalty, because I am really not spoiled when it comes to internet and electricity these days...
Finally, the electricity came back yesterday after 6 days and the internet today. I can finally share some of the best finds and Lifers like this fabulous Red-breasted Sapsucker that was on my Wish List on that trip.
I did not find this superb male alone, it was my very last day on Vancouver Island, by the end of the afternoon before the big road trip to Eastern Canada. Like many of my trophies pictures of Vancouver Island it's my wonderful guide and friend who finally unearthed it for me after many and many searches on her part with me during my short stay. So here it is this fabulous Sapsucker.
I cannot thank my friend enough for her great perseverance and devotion during my stay. Thanks a lot.
A thank you for perseverance and the pursuit of peace, regardless of the circumstances.
Under a cold wind and with just enough time for work, my flag waves proudly from my exile in a land I love so much.
"There is no path to peace, peace is the path." - Mahatma Gandhi
Un agradecimiento a la constancia y búsqueda de la paz sin importar las circunstancias.
Bajo un viento frío y con el tiempo justo para el trabajo ondea con fuerza mi bandera desde mi exilio en una tierra que quiero tanto.

Getting this lighting was an accident. I was using a cereal box as a light modifier. I was going for a narrow slit of light and somehow got this. At first when I saw this on the back of the camera I was like what is going on here! And how the box was positioned. But as I was going through the photos I took, this caught my eye. I spent way to much time on this photo in post. I wanted to like it in color but it just didn't work. I took a break, came back worked on this for two minutes and finally got something I love! Finally getting something to work, ahh that's what it's about.
There are lots of factors that need to be in sync for me to make the final decision to go out on a nightscape photography shoot. Last Friday night (Sept 11) those ducks were all in a row for me, as the saying goes. The weather forecast included cloudless skies; the Moon wasn’t due to rise until around 2:00 am on Saturday; the Milky Way would be in the western sky for hours on end, and I could sleep in once home and the daylight hours came around.
Despite all of that fortune, there were several times on my outbound trip that I found myself wanting to turn my car around and go back home. The gnawing self-doubt that assails me during most of my waking hours was once again urging me to give up, to head for home and to stop kidding myself that any of my photographs are worth looking at, let alone posting online.
After working on today’s photo, though, I’m glad that I pushed through. Being able to capture and share the beauty that I saw in the sky–and the wonders that only the camera can record–reminds me that perseverance often pays off. The Milky Way was very low in the southwestern sky over this man-made pond in the Jerrawangala National Park when I shot the two frames that I used to create the final stitched composite image. You can see the stretched reflection of the red supergiant star Antares on the muddy pond’s surface, with the star itself hovering over the eucalyptus trees in the distance.
I captured the two individual photos that make up this final image with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens @ f/2.0, using an exposure time of 13 seconds @ ISO 3200.
Even several days after being cut down and shoved into the yard waste can, with the leaves wilting, this one flower still shines on.
Nearing the top of the long slog out of the Sandouling open cast coal pit in NW China.
This JS 2-8-2 locomotive is kept in steam 7 days a week and hauls a 400 ton train from the loader to the washery and return approx once every 2 hours.
Her days are numbered as she approaches the end of her working life. With Chinas environmental programme this pit is due to close in April / May consigning the last five locos to the scrapyard.
Standard mass produced line infantry rifle, made by the northern continent's Rivacheg Company, the steel as always forged in their own magma forges.
Starting the flesh out the setting, will probably do some brain storming to get a nice bit of info for the next one perhaps.
Undertake your passage
in trust and innocence,
for such is the Warrior Way.
And at the end,
send heavenward
the feathered arrows
of your perfect faith.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
forecast for 01/01/2017
Sunrise at 08:08 AM - Sunset at 04:25 PM
Temperature from 1°C to -3°C
At sunset on the Winter Solstice, a small group of intrepid adventurers gather to witness a celestial miracle.
They wait for the last rays of the setting sun to illuminate the face of the angel atop the tree. Over the next three nights, more of that angel will appear until she is revealed in her entirety on Christmas Eve.
It was some twenty-two months ago that our adventurers set out on their journey. At that time, we had no idea where they might end up or indeed, what it was they were searching for. We last saw them as they negotiated an icy canyon. We can only wonder what hardships, what dangers they have faced since that time. We can only admire the perseverance needed to reach this place.
May the spirit of the season fill you with joy, whatever it is you are celebrating.
OK, now that all the Currier and Ives schmaltz is completed, while all the tourists are focused on the light on the angel's face, not one of them stops to wonder how they power the lights on the tree. There is not an electrical outlet for miles and no sign of a generator.

Every winter, a layer of carbon dioxide frost (dry ice) forms on the surface of Mars. At its greatest extent in mid-winter, this frost reaches from the poles down to the middle latitudes, until it is too warm and sunny to persist. In most places this is around 50 degrees latitude, similar to the latitude of southern Canada on Earth.
However, small patches of dry ice are found closer to the equator on pole-facing slopes, which are colder because they receive less sunlight. This image was taken in the middle of winter in Mars' Southern Hemisphere, and shows a crater near 37 degrees south latitude. The south-facing slope has patchy bright frost, blue in enhanced color. This frost occurs in and around the many gullies on the slope, and in other images, has caused flows in the gullies.
