A cold front of North Atlantic origin, accompanied by Arctic-maritime air, colliding with pre-existing humid air gave rise to heavy snowfall between the late evening and night of Sunday 22 December 2024.
The Dinarides, which includes the Karst Region between Italy and especially Slovenia, were hit.
From 15cm at 4-500m, it reached up to half a meter above 7-800m altitude.
Temperatures, however, did not fall below 0°C below 700m altitude, but the intensity of the precipitation, with even white hail thunderstorms, which acted as a substrate, allowed the snow to take root for the most part and reach dustings down to 400m on the reliefs around Trieste.
Naturally, with the end of the precipitation, which dragged cold air from higher altitudes, temperatures have started to rise again, although the snow cover (of excellent quality) seems to be able to resist for a few days.

Stout shorebird with a bright stubby bill. Note orange legs, often bright on spring adults. Breeding plumage has bold black-and-white head and breast pattern; nonbreeding has subdued and browner pattern. In flight shows bold white wing stripe. Mellow whistled “poo-ee” call quite distinct from call of more slender and ‘spectacled’ Little Ringed Plover. Breeds on sandy and stony substrates from beaches and lakeshores to moorland above treeline. Winters coastally, where often roosts with other small waders such as Dunlin.
A difficult fungus to identify, there are quite a few similar species that grow on the same substrate. A possibility is: Pholiota adiposa is a slimy, scaly, yellow-brown mushroom. It is found in North America and Eurasia. It grows parasitically or saprotrophically, most often on beech species, fruiting in bunches between August and November. Several compounds produced by this mushroom, for example methyl gallate, are of interest for their medicinal properties. (Wikipedia)

The spectacularly bizarre Andean Cock-of-the-rock is perhaps the most popularly recognized bird of the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains. The national bird of Peru, this species is readily identified by its fan-shaped crest and brilliant orange plumage, both of which are evident to a lesser degree even in the duller female. Males spend much of their time displaying at leks, where they jump up and down on particular branches and utter low, guttural croaks. The name is derived from their preference for rocks and ledges as substrates for their mud cup nests. Often difficult to detect away from leks, birds can sometimes be found feeding at fruiting trees. Distributed from Venezuela to Bolivia in the Andes, the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock does not co-occur with the similar Guianan Cock-of-the-rock of the Guianan Shield. birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/andcot1/cur/introduction

Cultivated in SGK = substrate glass culture.
There will be eight blossoms.
The first flower has faded.
The sun breaks above the horizon, illuminating the barren landscape of the Blue Hills, composed of eroded Mancos Shale. The area is often likened to the surface of the Moon or Mars- this viewpoint is called "Moonscape Overlook," and the Mars Desert Research Station is located nearby. The lack of vegetation is associated with the instability of the substrate, though a few scattered shrubs (including Mat Saltbush, Atriplex corrugata) and annual herbs (e.g. Brittle Phacelia, Phacelia demissa) can survive on these soils.
La Concha, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, España.
La playa de la Concha es una playa situada en la bahía de la Concha de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España).
Ubicada al oeste de la desembocadura del río Urumea, separada del mismo por el monte Urgull y el centro de la ciudad y alojada en la bahía de la Concha, tiene una longitud media de 1 350 m, una anchura media de 40 m y una superficie media de 54 000 m².
Es una playa de sustrato arenoso y poca profundidad, en la que el recorrido de las mareas a menudo limita la superficie útil para el uso. Puede considerarse una playa de entorno urbano y uso masivo. Además, desde 2007, es uno de los 12 Tesoros de España.
La Concha beach is a beach located in the bay of La Concha in the city of San Sebastián (Spain).
Located west of the mouth of the Urumea River, separated from it by Mount Urgull and the center of the city and housed in the Bay of Concha, has an average length of 1 350 m, an average width of 40 m and an average area 54,000 m².
It is a beach of sandy substrate and shallow depth, in which the route of the tides often limits the area useful for use. It can be considered a beach of urban environment and massive use. In addition, since 2007, it is one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.

Acentronura breviperula, also known as the shortpouch pygmy pipehorse, dwarf pipehorse and northern little pipehorse, is a species of pygmy pipehorse, a member of the family Syngnathidae, the seahorses and pipefishes. It is a small, drab-coloured pipehorse which is very well camouflaged among sandy and silty habitats, although it is usually found on substrates of coral rubble or in areas of sparse algal growth. It has a prehensile tail similar to that of a seahorse but it lacks an angled head and swims with its body held in a horizontal position. (Wikipedia)
