Conditions exceptionnelles pour notre visite au Cap Nord : il avait neigé toute la nuit, alors qu’un beau soleil nous accueillait. L’atmosphère était rendue très particulière par un contraste fort entre le lieu, éclairé par un soleil rasant à cette saison, et les masses nuageuses très sombres qui noyaient l’horizon marin. Tout ça saupoudré de quelques flocons qui flottaient dans l’atmosphère.

This is a repost, I'm day dreaming of Yosemite.
Taken last winter on a visit to York. The medieval city of York has this wonderful old wall encircling it which is fully open to the public. It dates back to Roman times although most of the Roman bits were replaced by another wall built by the Viking invaders around 1400 years ago. The current wall, while retaining elements of the Roman and Viking structures, dates back to construction that took place from the 12th to 14th century, so basically it's a pretty old wall. What a treat it was for me to capture this elderly gentleman in his traditional flat cap strolling along this part of the wall. But look closely because this is something I just can't figure out. He doesn't appear to have any hands! I have no idea why that is. I haven't touched this image other than to process it in the normal way. Very weird indeed.

A flat cap (sometimes "scally cap") is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in Great Britain and Ireland. The hat is known in Ireland as a paddy cap, in Scotland as a bunnet, in Wales as a Dai cap, in New Zealand as a cheese-cutter, and in the United States as a driving cap. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton.

Bishop’s cap cactus usually reaches no more than 100 cm (39 inches) in height and up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter. It has four or five distinct ribs that increase to eight or more with age. The plant is globose when young, becoming cylindroid as it gains more ribs. The gray-green flesh is covered with white flecks. The fragrant yellow flowers have numerous petals and usually appear in early spring or summer during the day.

Mother Cap is a gritstone rock formation positioned on the top of Over Owler Tor, which is a hill overlooking Hathersage and the Hope Valley. It's probably a remnant of the last ice age, when the glaciers that covered the whole area carved out valleys and made dramatic, lasting changes to the landscape.

It is found in Sumatra (Indonesia) and the Thai-Malay Peninsula.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The chestnut-capped laughingthrush was formerly placed in the genus Garrulax but following the publication of a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus Pterorhinus.[2][3]
