As the temperature outside headed towards the triple digit mark, I decided to spend some time in pursuit of images that would offer a new world where I might get some respite from the heat. This liquid landscape was composed of water, glycerin, and baby oil. At the last minute I decided to add a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
RKO_9798. The beautiful old historic centre of Gent, Belgium!
When planning a short stay at Gent last year we were hopeful for some sunny days! 😎
The weather however was not really cooperating with rain showers, a strong cold wind and low temperatures! ☔️
Lucky enough the sun peaked through the clouds allowing for some nice shots of the beautiful buildings and waterways! Light conditions however remained very challenging!
The friendly old city center is amazing with beautiful old buildings, squares and canals. It all looked liked the famous paintings!

Pinnacles National Park
Wild temperature swings seem to be the new normal. From 80-90 degree temperatures one week, the next brought record cold and snowfall. Here is a trail at Pinnacles showing a dusting of snow in the morning.
The temperature was -28c (-18F) and the mist was coming off the rapids, and the sunlight was coming through the trees. It was almost cold enough to freeze the sunbeams.
On days like this, when Temperatures here in Southern California reach into the triple digits, I look back through my images of places I’d rather be at this time of year. Bear Viewing in Alaska always tops my list. So, here’s a Pic from an Alaska Bear-Viewing Adventure.
One thing that makes Alaska unique is that all three species of North American bears flourish here. It is not uncommon for residents or visitors to Alaska to see bears, usually from a safe distance. But even if you don't see a bear, you will never be far from one; Alaska is bear country.
Brown Bear. The awe-inspiring brown bear lives in the forests and mountains of northern North America, Europe, and Asia. It is the most widely distributed bear in the world.
The world's largest brown bears are found in coastal British Columbia and Alaska, and on islands such as Kodiak.
Brown bears are the most common. In the Interior, they are called grizzly bears and are smaller and lighter brown. These bears have rounder faces than blacks, along with a noticeable muscular hump at their shoulders, giving them the strength to unearth ground squirrels from deep within their burrows.
Also, brown bear feet can average twice the size of black bear feet—compare the distances between the claw and pad imprints.
I Found this Big Boy while he was moving from one fishing hole to another in Katmai National Park.
Katmai National Park and Preserve is on a peninsula in southern Alaska. Its wild landscapes span tundra, forests, lakes and mountains. The park is known for the many brown bears that are drawn to the abundant salmon.

This is a Venetian Pitcher made on the Island of Murano. It is a popular Murano technique called Millefiori (a thousand flowers) which was invented by Murano Glass masters centuries ago. It is crafted entirely by hand and is created from hundreds of unique colorful millefiori pieces fused together under high temperature in a special furnace. We were fortunate to take a tour to this glass factory and watch the masters at work. This little vase is 5" tall and 4" at it's widest part. This shot is taken looking into the pitcher.

It rained lightly the night before. By the morning, the temperature had dropped and the raindrops were frozen on the limbs of the trees, making strange shapes. It was so pretty.
Soufflé au fromage. Cheese Soufflé
1/3 cup butter
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
5 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup (packed) grated Gruyère cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1. Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350F.
Butter 2 quart soufflé dish.
2. Then, make a sauce béchamel: melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture is well blended (do not allow mixture to brown). Pour in warm milk, whisking until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly until very thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add cheese and stir until incorporated. Whisk in seasoning.
Add egg yolks 1 at a time, whisking to blend after each addition. Scrape soufflé base into large bowl. Cool to lukewarm.
(This can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
3. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/4 of whites into soufflé base to lighten. Fold in remaining whites.
Transfer batter to prepared dish.
4. Place dish in oven. Bake until soufflé is puffed and golden brown on top and center moves only slightly when dish is shaken gently, about 35 minutes (do not open oven door during first 20 minutes). Serve immediately.
The temperatures plummeted during a recent Arctic storm (a.k.a. "extreme temperature fluctuation," or about a 60F+ sudden drop). It happened at a time when deciduous and coniferous trees had not yet "hardened off" for the cold wintertime temperatures.
When such an extreme weather event occurs in Colorado, as it did both in October 2019 and again in late October 2020, these leaves have an unusual, colorful "freeze-dried" appearance. Some leaves actually turn black. Trees can be badly-damaged or die from such events, with south facing trunks splitting open from ice expansion within the trees.
Also, conifers' needles may "blow out" when the internal ice accumulates and bursts the needles open. The needles then have a bleached appearance. This color change usually happens about 10 days after the extreme event.
It's difficult to witness and experience the loss of many trees and bushes at once. Those plants that survive may continue to struggle, never recovering fully.
The temperature topped out at 35 F (1 C) with a 40+ mph wind today, but at least we had the river all to ourselves. Best of all, the suckers were really on the bite!

It was still quite cold... This Hairy-footed Flower Bee (see Bernhard Jacobi commenting below), laden with pollen, brought to mind something I read recently about the body temperature of Bees. Scientists have discovered that the heavier their pollen load, the higher their body temperature rises. In warm weather that can lead to the heat exhaustion of our woolly friends. No fear of that yesterday in the Hortus where Hairy-footer was garnering nutrients from under the hood of Yellow Clary.
Anthony DiNozzo, Very Special Agent of NCIS, came back.
Last time we saw him it was in April. He is wild and lives in woods.
He arrived this morning with the soil covered by frost and with temperature was -3°C/26,6°F.
Ziva David was waiting for him on the windowsill ♥ (inside)
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
I will be leaving to Japan to shoot the cherry blossoms in Izu. Please forgive me for being absent in the following week. See you very soon.
明天要出發，前往日本伊豆追河津櫻去啦！希望一切平安順利，河津地區的櫻花，比往年提早一週綻放，希望我去時，還有櫻花可拍。

Sunny and short (brrrr temperatures) winter walk in Berlin's government district along the Spree, and more "This is a black and white scene" photography. I mentioned earlier that, most of the time, I just take the shot and decide later if I process an image in colour (most of the time) or black and white (more often recently). And here, I knew immediately that it's one for Donnerstagsmonochrom :)
HTM/HMT, dear Flickr friends!
While I am impressed by the additional mask capabilities of Lightroom I would say the Sky selection masking needs some work IMHO, on every image where I have used it has left a halo when I bring the image into Photoshop for final tweaking. Oct and early November are great times of the year to capture lake mist or more technically radiation fog, this occurs because the water has absorbed and retained the suns heat as air that has been cooled by the night temperatures that is moisture laden passes over warmer water of the lake. This scene is of my favorite places to welcome the morning and take in the light show as the sun rises at least when I don’t have a camera in hand and a cup of steaming coffee instead.
I took this on Oct 23rd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 30mm, 1/5s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

With the temperature starting to rise (15-17°C (59-63°F), the Spring Flowers starting to bloom and some rain (about 18mm or 3/4 inch) over the past 10 days we are starting to see some insect life in the garden.
Although the temperatures are still high outside, the falling of rain & leaves can only mean one thing - FALL is almost here, & I couldn't be happier! Something about the smell of burning leaves, the sound of them crunching under your feet, the taste of pumpkin, & the colors of autumn just makes me fall deeper in love with this season every year.
Temperatures in the far north are warming faster than anywhere else on the planet. This trend is having a profound effect in the frozen waters off the coast of Alaska. These days, sea ice forms later in the season and melts earlier. Recent measurements, in fact, indicate that ice coverage in the Arctic is at the lowest levels ever recorded.
Increased the ISO some to see if it provided better overall results ... I think the version at ISO 2500 was better. But then that could have also been because the wind was gusting more or less.
The winds were around 20 to 30 MPH last evening ... and bitter cold with temperatures heading towards 15 degrees F.
Had to have the gloves off to manually focus the lens ... brrrrr.
After the temperatures dipped below freezing, even the strand of a spider's web was coated in ice. I especially liked how this seed from a Linden tree was caught in the thin filaments of web.
Winter. Temperature minus fifteen Celsius (or five Fahrenheit) Navigation ended in November and will only open in May.

I spent al little time at Little Zigzag Creek this morning, before the temperature hit 100º. There was occasional cloud cover interspersed with brillient sunlight mingling with the trees. It was a good day to be on the slopes of Mount Hood.
I have been having trouble printing pictures lately. I have to lighten them up quite a but from how they first look, despite having calibrated my printer, and, I thought, my monitor, (although I had to do it based on how my prints look. Well, I finally got my ColorMunki working properly. It turns out that my computer does not like special characters in the file names of the icc profiles. I removed the underscore in the name, and it worked flawlessly. Not I can print with wild abandon.

-7C,
Garden Village, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada,
Lowest temperature (1937-2012) -11.8°C1990,
The temperature spiked up to 27C in Hamilton today, so as a cold front moved through, it spawned some summer like thunderstorms. The storms moved out just as the sun was setting leaving perfect opportunity to catch a rainbow to the east, and a red, orange, and yellow sky to the west
The temperature was hovering near the 10 degree mark and I still remember how my hands hurt from the cold. The sunset has occured and the blue hour has arrived, a westbound blows for a distant crossing and I set up for the shot. An ailing Conrail GP40-2 with a bad turbo, cycles smoke skyward as her train struggles to make time toward Toledo in the biting wind . . . Oak Harbor, Ohio on January 6, 1979.
The temperatures during the day have dropped a little so we were able to take a trip out to the Forest. The little foal just couldn't stop trying to check out the cow. Every time she gave it a sniff, the cow turned round and the foal backed away, only to come back a minute later
