Snowy night at the Glencoe, Illinois train station. It was built over a hundred years ago and refurbished in the 1990's.
It was a fairly warm February night so me and a couple others went out to do some night shooting. The actual reason for going out was to hopefully capture a glimpse of the Northern Lights. They failed to appear, but I tried to make the most of it and I took this shot. There was actually a full moon that night so it cast some nice shadows on the snow.
This will be one of my last shots with my D90, I am sending it away for some repairs. I will either have to shoot film, or use some Canon cameras from school..

Seeing the photo in larger size recommended.
(en) In spite of loving it, I'm not used to photographing birds and animals. Here there is a male Rock Bunting (Emberiza cia) photographed in Sierra Nevada, Spain.

Still practicing with my gear and post-processing. Didn't get as many clean images as I hoped for this stack, but this challenges my post-processing skills

History
Keukenhof Garden is situated on 15th century hunting grounds. It was also a source of herbs for Jacqueline (1401-1436), Countess of Hainaut's castle, which is the source of the name Keukenhof. It served to provide herbs for the castle's kitchen. Jacqueline was also Duchess of Bavaria-Straubing and Countess of Holland and Zeeland. Rich merchants took over the grounds after the Countess's death. The Dutch East India Company captain and governor Block lived there in his retirement years in the 17th century in the country house, now known as Castle Keukenhof, which he had let built in 1641.
In the 19th century, the Baron and Baroness van Pallandt assigned the landscape architect Jan David Zocher and his son Louis Paul Zocher, who had also worked on the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, to design the grounds around the castle. Castle Keukenhof was rebuilt in 1865. Jan Carel Elias graaf van Lynden (1912-2003), grandson of Cornelia Johanna, Baroness van Pallandt (1840-1923), was the last private owner of the castle. Upon his death in 2003, Jan Carel Elias graaf van Lynden left the castle to the Castle Keukenhof Foundation.
The Keukenhof garden was established in 1949 by the then-mayor of Lisse. The idea was to present a flower exhibit where growers from all over the Netherlands and Europe could show off their hybrids and help the Dutch export industry. The Netherlands is the world's largest exporter of flowers. Keukenhof has been the world's largest flower garden for over fifty years.
Many dignitaries have visited the Keukenhof. Queen Juliana was a patron. Her daughters, princesses Beatrix, Irene and Margriet were among the first visitors in 1950. As a passionate filmmaker Prince Bernhard shot some unique films. Other members of the Dutch Royal Family also visited the Keukenhof. In 2001, current King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima paid a visit to present themselves to the Dutch population. They planted a Tilla europea, the Koningslinde. In 2005, the park was opened by Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet.
Different gardens and garden styles go hand in hand at the Keukenhof. For example:
1. the English landscape garden with winding paths and unexpected see-through points. Designed by Zocher in 1830, the garden architect of the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, among others)
2. the historical garden, an enclosed garden where you can see many old types of bulbs.
3. the nature garden, which consists of a water garden, where shrubs and perennials are combined with bulbous plants.
4. the Japanese country garden, a playful non-traditional garden in a natural environment.
Keukenhof doesn't contain long fields of Tulips which many visitors search for. The Garden will display variety of flowers grown in different fashion but all in small arena. However there are Tulip fields outside the Garden (mostly owned by private owners).These fields may have restricted access but they are not part of Keukenhof ticket that visitors need to purchase.
Keukenhof Garden is scheduled to be open from end of March to end of May every year. The grounds of Castle Keukenhof are open all year long and are frequently used for festivals such as Castlefest, the Ladies Winternight and the Christmas Fair. The castle also houses classical music performances.
