it was minus twenty-two celcius and windy which all added to the adventure. Enjoying winter is very possible but it means not avoiding it. You have to get out there and embrace the season!
Ice cold... opposite to my warm feelings towards all the great people I've 'met' here on this site. I haven't forgotten you, but I'm real short on time at the moment... and in that situation, something has to give... I'm sorry to say that Flickr is that something. But I promise to try and find some time soon... ;-D
Kael at the cabin. This was shortly after arrival at the cabin last weekend. It was a little chilly at -25c, so Kael quickly god cold paws. Not sure if she's holding them off the cold ground or begging for the cold weather to break. Not to worry as she got to go into the cabin right after this picture was taken - about an hour before I got to go in because of all the shovelling to be done.

Located in the mountains above Santa Barbara, California, Cold Spring Tavern was originally a stagecoach stop from 1865-1901.

A cold and windy day in the lighthouse
"To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can." ~ Sydney Smith
As the title says, this was taken back in December. And since we are going into a deep freeze, I won't be going out to take any photos. Brrr!! :)
now I've seen to Sonny's burning
yeah someday I think I'll cut him down
but it can get so co-cold in here
and he gives off such an evil heat.
flame on! flame on!
hai-hai hail my incubatic incubator.
now pay witness to Sonny's burning
warming the damp and rotten seed
warming the damp and rotten seed
that blooms into the DEMON FLOWER
now both fire and flowers consume me.
flame on! flame on!
Tough Guys!
There was an old train movie from the '80s starring Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster that I loved by that title, but that was Hollywood fictional railroading. This is the real deal, and conductor and brakeman Vern Gillis and Daniel Keim are real railroad tough guys!
Railroading at nearly 40 below zero is not for the faint of heart or the weak of body. But here are two guys that not only get it done, but do so with smiles and the same hustle and good attitude they give on a 70 degree July day.
They're even tough enough to take a quick pause to say hi, shake hands, and chat in the cold here at the spring switch up at the tail of the wye. I dare wonder how many railroaders could work in conditions like this? But in Alaska it is all just part of the job. Man do I miss working with some of the finest railroaders to be found anywhere....and I'll always look back on those days as the best of my career.
But I digress..lest you doubt the veracity of my claims here is a shot Frank Keller took of the outside thermometer on his car [can't see it here on Flickr but I shared it a few years ago on FB and it red NEGATIVE 36!]...although in all fairness that was earlier in the day, and when these images were captured it was a balmy -17°F!
As for the 'fleet's it is comprised of original ARR GP40-2s 3004 & 3010 (bought new in 1975 and 76 respectively) and spreader 9 (custom built by Harsco for the railroad on 2000) seen here and spreader 7 (built by OF Jordan in the early 1970s) on the other end.

It is so hot today that I decided to post something cold just to feel a little better. This was shot last winter in Beskidy Mountains, Poland.
It was so cold that Mother Nature took pity on this bronze headed fellow.
The mist from the Falls settled on his head creating a hat or a really bad wig. Odd how the face escaped the misting.
Lots of ice and snow around here today. Stay warm
A cold night at the front entrance to the St.Pauls cathedral. Opened in 1710, it quickly became one of London's most iconic buildings, however the front of the building is not normally the focus of peoples visits when viewing the cathedral.

Dark clouds were hovering over me as I took this picture, the temperature had changed considerably. Thankfully for me it did not rain, this picture is taken near Bught Park.
391: An abandoned home that at one time must of been very nice and loved in better days. It's located just a few miles up the canyon from Upper Lake in Lake County, Northern California. To unsafe to adventure in.
These leaves with frosted edges looked cool in more ways than one. I took this on my phone after a morning run a few weeks ago. I have been out with my preferred camera on several cold mornings since but the conditions have never been able to reproduce this effect

I think I lost a couple brain cells yesterday by going out in -37 degrees Celcius weather for the entire morning & part of the afternoon just so I can take some pictures. I brought my friend along, and we both didn't have the proper insulation/attire so our feet & hands were completely numb during the entire process. I know, stupid me! But I couldn't stand being cooped up in the house any longer and I didn't pack any warm winter gear for me to bring. I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn't know it was going to be THAT cold. If I don't get sick from this, then I will start telling everyone that I have an immune system the strength of the hulk.
NEVER AGAIN.
Lesson of the day: When the weather network warns of severe freezing, listen to it ^_^
