The prediction was that pearlescent clouds would be visible on Christmas Eve, but unfortunately too much and too thick clouds, so no pearlescent clouds.
De voorspelling was dat er parelmoerwolken zichtbaar zouden zijn op Kerst avond, maar helaas iets te veel en te dikke bewolking, dus geen parelmoerwolken.

that's something you can google. sadly, in our town, it applies to great ideas for renovating failed sites which, in the end, fail themselves. we're still waiting for this one to live up to promise. the red paint is a start and we do like the grazing goats. but where are the creemies?
This female evening grosbeak isn't as colorful as her husband but she's still a striking bird in her own right. According to the Winter Finch Forecast for 2022-2023, evening grosbeaks had a banner nesting year across Canada, thanks to a spruce budworm outbreak there, and are expected to make a big push into the United States this winter, possibly as far south as places like Iowa. I'd say they were right on with that prediction!
Description in English, Polish and Dutch
English
Due to personal circumstances I haven't been able to upload anything here for a long time while I still took a lot of pictures. From now on I will regularly share and write something here. Zakopane is one of the nicest places in Europe. Really everywhere you look you see the impressive Tatra mountains. These mountains with eternal snow are part of the Carpathians and form the natural border between Poland and Slovakia. In the area you can walk for hours in the woods and there are hiking trails for both beginners and advanced hikers. There is much to do in Zakopane, such as visiting an inverted house, relaxing in spas and saunas or taking a cable car ride to the highest mountain in Poland. The prices of food products converted from złoty to euros are very favorable and the people in Zakopane and the surrounding area are very friendly and helpful. They are also very tolerant and I have noticed that it really doesn't matter to them what skin color or height you have. Everyone is equal and accepted and that mentality really appeals to me. They were also very interested in my native India and the great work of President Modi, and I was surprised that many people in Zakopane already believed years ago that the rise of India as the future number 1 world power was unstoppable, while many in the Netherlands have laughed a bit for years when they heard where I had been born and I told them about these things.This year India's economy has overtaken that of the old settler England and it is expected to become the world's 3rd largest economy by 2030. And given statistics and predictions from leading economists, the number 1 position is soon in sight. Many Polish companies have even agreed this year to start trading with rupees instead of the US dollar, but this aside. In the picturesque village of Zakopane there are beautiful mostly wooden villas where luxurious rooms are rented including private bathrooms for very reasonable prices. The atmosphere of these holiday homes reminds you of the mountain villages in Switzerland and Austria, but with a typical Polish vibe. Converted from zloty to euros you can even find accommodations for 15 euros to 25 euros a night.For the same quality hotel rooms you pay 80 to 150 euros a night in the Netherlands, even with fewer facilities. Despite the inflation there, it is still very pleasant for people who are used to the euro to buy food in Poland. Poor Dutch people will even feel rich here for a while.

Zakopane to jedno z najładniejszych miejsc w Europie. Naprawdę, gdziekolwiek nie spojrzysz, widzisz imponujące Tatry. Te pokryte wiecznym śniegiem góry są częścią Karpat i tworzą naturalną granicę między Polską a Słowacją. W okolicy można spacerować godzinami po lesie, a są tu szlaki turystyczne zarówno dla początkujących, jak i zaawansowanych piechurów. W Zakopanem jest wiele do zrobienia, na przykład zwiedzanie odwróconego domu, relaks w spa i saunach lub przejażdżka kolejką linową na najwyższą górę w Polsce. Ceny artykułów spożywczych przeliczane ze złotych na euro są bardzo korzystne, a mieszkańcy Zakopanego i okolic są bardzo przyjaźni i pomocni. Są też bardzo tolerancyjni i zauważyłem, że tak naprawdę nie ma dla nich znaczenia, jaki masz kolor skóry czy wzrost. Wszyscy są równi i akceptowani i ta mentalność naprawdę mi odpowiada. Byli również bardzo zainteresowani moimi rodzimymi Indiami i wielkim dziełem Prezydenta Modiego, i byłem zaskoczony, że wiele osób w Zakopanem wierzyło już wiele lat temu, że wzrost znaczenia Indii jako przyszłej potęgi światowej numer 1 jest nie do powstrzymania, podczas gdy wielu w Holandii trochę się śmiali przez lata, kiedy dowiedzieli się, gdzie się urodziłem, i opowiedziałem im o tych rzeczach. W tym roku gospodarka Indii wyprzedziła gospodarkę starej osadniczej Anglii i oczekuje się, że do 2030 r. staną się one trzecią co do wielkości gospodarką świata. statystyki i przewidywania czołowych ekonomistów, pozycja numer 1 jest już w zasięgu wzroku. Wiele polskich firm zgodziło się nawet w tym roku na rozpoczęcie handlu rupiami zamiast dolara amerykańskiego, ale to na marginesie. W malowniczej miejscowości Zakopane znajdują się piękne, w większości drewniane wille, w których wynajmowane są luksusowe pokoje z łazienkami w bardzo przystępnych cenach. Atmosfera tych domów wakacyjnych przypomina górskie wioski w Szwajcarii i Austrii, ale z typowo polską atmosferą. W przeliczeniu ze złotych na euro można znaleźć nawet noclegi za 15 do 25 euro za noc. Za pokoje hotelowe o tej samej jakości płaci się w Holandii od 80 do 150 euro za noc, nawet przy mniejszej liczbie udogodnień. Pomimo panującej tam inflacji, ludziom przyzwyczajonym do euro nadal bardzo przyjemnie jest kupować żywność w Polsce. Biedni Holendrzy poczują się tu nawet przez chwilę bogaci.

Door persoonlijke omstandigheden en een moeilijke tijd heb ik een tijd lang niets kunnen uploaden hier, maar ik ben terug van weggeweest en zal weer regelmatig iets uploaden hier. Zakopane is een van de mooiste plaatsen in Europa. Werkelijk overal waar je kijkt zie je het indrukwekkende Tatra gebergte. Deze bergen met eeuwige sneeuw maken deel uit van de Karpaten en vormen de natuurlijke grens tussen Polen en Slowakije. In de omgeving kun je uren wandelen in de bossen en er zijn wandelroutes voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er is veel te doen in Zakopane, zoals een bezoek aan een omgekeerd huis, wandelen door de gezellige winkelstraat, ontspannen in spa's en sauna's of een kabelbaanrit maken naar de hoogste berg van Polen. De prijzen van voedingsmiddelen omgerekend van złoty naar euro's zijn zeer gunstig en de mensen in Zakopane en omgeving zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze zijn ook erg tolerant en ik heb gemerkt dat het voor hen eigenlijk niet uitmaakt welke huidskleur of lengte je hebt. Iedereen is gelijk en wordt gerespecteerd. Die mentaliteit spreekt mij enorm aan. Ze waren ook erg geïnteresseerd in mijn geboorteland India en waren op de hoogte van het geweldige werk van president Modi. Ik was dan ook aangenaam verrast dat veel mensen in Zakopane jaren geleden al geloofden dat de opkomst van India als de toekomstige nummer 1 wereldmacht niet te stoppen was, terwijl velen in Nederland jarenlang lacherig hadden gedaan als ik dat vertelde, want in hun hoofd bleef het altijd een ontwikkelingsland. Dit jaar heeft de Indiase economie die van de oude kolonist Engeland ingehaald en zal naar verwachting in 2030 de op twee na grootste economie ter wereld worden. Volgens vooraanstaande economen in heel de wereld is de nummer 1-positie daarna snel in zicht. Veel Poolse bedrijven hebben dit jaar zelfs afgesproken om te gaan handelen met roepies in plaats van met de Amerikaanse dollar, maar dit terzijde. In het pittoreske dorpje Zakopane staan prachtige veelal houten villa's waar voor zeer schappelijke prijzen luxe kamers inclusief eigen badkamer worden verhuurd. De sfeer van deze vakantiehuizen doet denken aan de bergdorpen in Zwitserland en Oostenrijk, maar dan met een typisch Poolse sfeer. Omgerekend van zloty naar euro's vind je zelfs accommodaties voor 15 euro tot 25 euro per nacht. Voor dezelfde kwaliteit hotelkamers betaal je in Nederland 80 tot 150 euro per nacht, ook met minder voorzieningen. Ondanks de inflatie daar is het voor mensen die de euro gewend zijn toch erg prettig om levensmiddelen te kopen in Polen. Arme Nederlanders zullen zich hier zelfs even rijk voelen.
On my fifth day the weather predictions for coming days were awful and I decided to go into the direction of Roros (and later Trondheim), but first I drove along the E27 because it was said to be very scenic. I think that might be true, but with all the rain and darkness, I probably missed the most.
This amazingly beautiful viewpoint was spoiled (in a way), because with sun this is truly spectacular (www.nasjonaleturistveger.no/en/routes/rondane), and it crossed my mind many times I should go back if the weather in Norway turned better and I was around. Unfortunately it didn't so one good excuse to go back!
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
Prediction of rain will not hurt these beautiful Forget Me Nots so “Let It Rain”. It’s the middle of April so we expect rain most any day. These present such a soft touch to a garden. Thanks for viewing my work. The rains will not effect Gratitude and Kindness. Enjoy your Spring.

Seems like just a few weeks since I set out this Halloween decoration in my side yard. Not visible from the street, it was one of those things I did more for myself. I just liked the way it made me feel to encounter this eerie specter when I walked back by the edge of the forest. More than once it startled me as I had completely forgotten about it. Over time it had weathered to the point where it totally blended in with its surroundings. A very organic look that suits my mentality much more than the highly contrived decorations commonly associated with holidays.
If Halloween marks the onset of the dark phase of the year in the northern hemisphere, Groundhog Day certainly delineates the return of brightening. The actual groundhog 'prediction' is meaningless to me. It's really just a time marker; a waypoint on the journey of life. Day length is increasing noticeably. Springtime is roaring upon us just as rapidly as Halloween is receding. I suppose it's time to take down this celebration of darkness and begin to embrace the light. Then again I might just let it go for another week or two.
I had special permission to go shooting, I knew light would be special, there was many layers of clouds(I could see). Also, the web site prediction was showing RED on us. This is it, I was starting to think I would never see again those special ray of light !!!
A friend of mine, who also happens to be a former colleague, celebrates her birthday today. A few months back, she left her high-paying but highly stressful job (these always go hand-in-hand, don't they?) to focus on family and things that she really wants to do. It's a story I'm so familiar with.
And so today's photo is for her and for the many others who seek new beginnings, better life choices, and more hopefulness in this generally unpredictable world... myself, included.
♥ ... The prediction of our fate torments me ...

Snowfall warning, significant snowfall expected tonight near 15 cm and predicting 2cm per hour. Rapidly accumulating snowfall creating hazardous travel conditions.

I fled to Trondheim because of the weather predictions, and although it was not that bad, I spend two days strolling around in dull grey weather. BTW Trondheim is a nice city with an old center, and very nice places to discover. At the end of a long day (the 7th) I went back to my campsite, a little disappointed, and when I had dinner suddenly the sky opened! I realized I had to go back because the spot in this picture should look great with the sun out. The clouds here are a bonus.
Although I was very eager to see them ASAP, I decided back home in Holland not to speed towards the coast on my first day because weather predictions weren't good for a while. So I took the detour of which you have seen a few shots already. Trondheim fjord is not the classic fjord shot, but this is a rather nice view, and I was lucky the sky opened a little bit before closing again. It's Norway.

Canoe to this section of ice formation that would be difficult to canoe on New Year hoping to have a paddle on the new year. This would be difficult but there is a weather prediction +8 degrees and rain that might reduce the ice along the shoreline and we might make it out safe here on our canoe.
Another view of the snow and broken ice below….
This shot is reward for my patience. I stood on Steigerwald's trail with a very cold breeze blowing from behind me. My prediction was that when this harrier finally decided to fly, she would head directly into the wind and my camera lens. After about one hour, she took the leap. I was so cold I was doing a full body shiver by this time.
With predictions of the "storm of a generation" and a "bombogenesis" snowstorm for much of North America - for us directly, its a flash freeze, up to 100 km winds, and blizzard warnings, I'm mindful of all the people making plans to visit family over the Holidays. Please be careful! We've done more than our share of traveling over the years but this time, I'm grateful to be staying home. To all my Flickr friends, I sincerely hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas!
Predictions for this day were snow on the Veluwe...
After a long expedition we arrived at the Veluwe near Doornspijk...
I have a decent camera but it wasn't able to notice the snow...
There seems to be a lot of berries this autumn, some believe this means that it will be a hard winter - HBW!
This female red-bellied woodpecker looked for her shadow today but couldn't find it since it was cloudy and foggy here at Lake Meyer Park in the morning. Maybe that means we won't have six more weeks of winter even though Punxsutawney Phi's prediction is probably spot-on for Pennsylvania.
The San Rafael Reef is the abrupt rise of the eastern edge of the San Rafael Swell. Uplifted sandstone slabs called flatirons soar hundreds of feet above the desert, and narrow but deep slot canyons through the reef invite exploration.
July 9 was a new moon, and weather predictions indicated clear skies, so I went to camp and get some shots of the Milky Way above eye-catching scenery.
No one predicted, in any formal way, the silent arrival of smoke season. Here the first of the smoky pall is creeping from the
south.
