Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) This cormorant wrestled for quite a few minutes with this slippery eel before finally getting it in a position to swallow it!
I had to be very careful that my lens and camera don't get wet from the spray and that I didn't slip in the water.Shot in North Wales Snowdonia.
To be honest, during the very first days of my winter journey in Iceland, the weather was bad. Low clouds, strong winds and flurries of snow requiring you to clean your lens before each shot. And yet, these landscapes remain fascinating.
Anyone a suggestion for a title?
25 -06-2017 update:
I got several suggestions (many thanks):
- snowblind
- sleepy nature
- ijsbeer spelen in de warmte
- snow down
- The reflection exposed in light and exposure reflected in glass
- The white snow makes the world very beautiful
- Partial eclipse
- Slippery when snowy
- ghost shadows
- reflections on snow
- snowy dazzle
The scratches on the wall tell us it's a slippery street. The title is hidden in the road(typwriter):-)
Colorado pinyons, Pinus edulis, on the Island in the Sky, Canyonlands National Park. Maybe the jagged stump is a Bristlecone Pine.

White Knuckled driving conditions through the Thompson–Nicola Regional district
Sub-zero temperatures.
The day before making this precarious trek through the Central Interior of BC, Canada , the news reported vehicles sliding off the road in all directions at this precise location.
Descending the highway hill was nerve racking to say the least, however I was in capable hands.
The pick-up truck in this image decided to travel down the center of road, in search of better traction.
As beautiful as this mountain highway is, wintery conditions can serve to be treacherous.
Beautiful British Columbia
Canada
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.
Stay Healthy

'Tis the season when the trains run late because of slippery leaves on the line - a price we pay for our natural tree lined railway tracks.

At the bottom of the Ozone Falls gorge, there are a number of rocks that make nice lookouts. I recommend taking your time and carefully climbing these rocks as they are quite slippery. Some are also quite sharp (don't forget your gloves). Leave extra camera bags and equipment behind as it can throw off your balance. Finally, sit and enjoy the view.
Isolated from other walls and buttes working to become isolated pillars, Standing Rock is a well known feature of Monument Basin in Canyonlands, often seen and photographed from Grandview Point on Island in the Sky 2000’ / 600 m above. The north-facing slopes still hold snow from a significant storm 3 days prior to when this photo was taken.
Standing Rock was first climbed in 1962 by Layton Kor and colleagues, because as they put it “it won’t always be there.” They described the Organ Rock shale that the pillar is made of as "layers of rye-krisp sandwiched between layers of kitty litter." As you might guess few people have been on the summit of this 300’ / 90 m tower.
I had visited this area a year ago, managing to get a flat tire and lacking the appropriate lug nuts for the spare… that saga is best forgotten ;-). This year’s trip was successful in that I managed to drive the entire White Rim road, though the conditions were tricky at times with snow, ice, and slippery mud on steep slopes. The weather was also dicey at times with high winds, occasional snow, and cold temperatures. But hey, dramatic weather sometimes yields beautiful scenes.
I need you to use yourself
Like you never ever used it before
To explore my body
Until you reach the shore
You'll be calling, calling for more
I had so many toys as a kid, Hence being the only child ;-)
This is a slinky that was a favourite in stairs and on anything escalating downwards.
Hope you like my macro shot of one that I bought recently but that reminds me of the one I had as a child.
Happy MM to all of you!
The combination of fallen leaves and wet rail makes for extremely difficult conditions on UBHF's uphill climb out of Thurmont. The three lead engines are digging hard into the grade, with additional help in the middle of the consist. As the elevation gets higher, the fall colors show gradual improvement.
Frankfort Mineral Springs waterfall near Pittsburgh, Was here about 3 weeks ago and now the icicles are longer & heavier.
The rock formations are exceptional and ice is apparent in more places. The temperature was about 55F. and some ice was starting to fall from above. The actual waterfall is in the middle of the picture. If you visit it is really slippery coming up the creek.
