Portrait of a Chimbu tribesman and a child (Papua New Guinea)
The Chimbu tribes are located in the Chimbu (or Simbu) Province in the central Highlands of Papua New Guinea.
The term “Chimbu” was given to the people by the first Australian explorers in 1934, who heard the word “simbu” (which is an expression of a pleasant surprise in the local language) exclaimed by the locals when they first met.
They are well known for their huge headdresses made from feathers of birds of paradise, with some of them up to one meter long. The tribal people from Chimbu Province decorate their bodies with kina shells, and they may paint themselves with mud and clay mixed with oil from plants and pig’s fat to make the body shine and to keep it warm during the cold time of the day.
Traditionally, the Chimbu tribes don’t live in villages but in dispersed settlements. Typical houses in Chimbu Province are oval or rectangular, with dirt floors, low thatched roofs, and walls woven from flattened reeds. Men live in large communal men’s houses (hausman) set on ridges for defensive purpose while women, children, and pigs live in separate houses. Today, with the influence of the modern world, the majority of men and women live together as a couple.

Well, the weather forecast for Kananaskis for 24 September 2019 was not exactly accurate - sun, with cloud in the afternoon. They kind of forgot to mention the strong wind, light rain .... and SNOW! For a few minutes, it was one kind of weather, then a few more minutes of a different kind, repeated throughout the afternoon.
Our temperatures are falling - forecast for rain/light snow today, then three days of snow with temps down to around -1C. What a way to celebrate the first few days of fall. The expected snow will probably remove quite a few of the golden leaves, so I wanted anther chance to see and photograph them while I had the chance.
The sky was blue when I set out that morning and I felt quite hopeful. When I go to Kananaskis, I always go south from the city. I had no idea where I would be going, but I knew that it wouldn't be as far as I would have liked. As it turned out, I had a few surprises along the way, so it was a real mixed day of photo opportunities - my favourite kind of day.
After stopping to take a few scenic shots on the way to the main highway through Kananaskis, I eventually reached the area where the American Pikas live. I really lucked out almost straight away, as the only few photos I took were when one Pika showed itself, and that was within maybe ten minutes. By this time, the wind was strong and it was snowing, and it was cold! Time to get out of there, as the scree slope is treacherous enough on a calm, clear day.
Driving further north, I was delighted to see a convoy of maybe eight or ten beautiful old cars heading in my direction. Couldn't resist, so I followed them when they turned off into a small picnic area. I asked if I could take a few quick photos and they were happy enough for me to do that. One car owner did comment about blurry photos because of the falling snow, but surprisingly my photos came out sharp enough.
Further on, I made a quick stop at another pull-off and was happy to notice a few mushrooms. When I turned around to head for home, I was even happier. I pulled over to take a photo of one of the mountain peaks. One tiny white speck in the distance, just off the road, caught my eye. When I went to check it out, I found myself staring at a little group of Shaggy Mane/Inky Cap mushrooms. The largest one had already started the process of curling up the rim of its cap and dripping a black ink. So much rain this year has resulted in such an amazing fungi season.
Much closer to home, I decided to take a side road that has such beautiful hill and mountain views. An old wooden barn was a welcome surprise - I don't remember seeing this one before.
So, a lovely day out, driving 320 km, with such a mixture of weather and sightings. So glad I did decide to go - as usual, a very last minute decision, but basically, I just need to grab my cameras and go : )
I’m learning to appreciate the starkness that February is.
February is a linear, monochrome, say only what you need to say, sort of month. It’s a wear your warm coat, and realize you aren’t actually that cold time of year. It’s a good time to consider how fortunate you really are in the larger scheme of things. It’s a quiet, seek out beauty for yourself, make your happiness where you are type of month. Sometimes its 28 (29) days seem to expand to make the month feel like the longest, rather than the shortest, month in the calendar year. Lean into each day anyway. February is a month for realizing all the things we realize when things are not easy. It’s a wonderful time to let go.
And, if we try, it’s a month, at least in Michigan, to appreciate the beauty in the softer light of an overcast, cloudy day.
I have taken some beautiful photos of nature this month, but here is a simple view of the building and walkway at Barton Dam. I've rendered in black and white to suit the season. For me, it's about symmetry and place. It felt good to be there, in this particular moment, on this particular day, and just look.
I pray we each find peace with whatever light falls upon us today, even if it feels obscured by circumstance. Thinking of you.
Barton Dam, Ann Arbor, Michigan. February 18, 2021.

Winter January 2010, it was a cold time with a lot of snow and ice during a photo walk in Zutphen, the Netherlands.
Please see here more photos from Winter in Holland ☃

As high up into Long Canyon as we could reasonably get, looking back generally towards Sedona.
Canyon sunset was just a few minutes away and it was New Year's Eve so it was going to get cold. Time to move along.

Grab shot from Winchelsea last week. We were all walking back to the car after a cold time on the beach. Hadn't put the camera away. This dog really didn't want to walk anymore. Caught totally in camera. Just a quick crop and convert to mono. Silhouetted by the sun rising in the the blue sky.

I love MuppetVision 3-D. Love it to death. It's campy and cheesy but I cannot get enough of Bunson and Beaker and the Swedish Chef. I just wish there were more Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem in it.
However, I picked a cold time to go to Disney, and my mom was looking for gloves to wear so she didn't freeze her hands off. So after MuppetVision (my first ride of the vacation!) we popped into this store. While she was looking for gloves, I was looking around. And when I saw all the Beakers, and remembered the insanely close focal length of the fisheye, this picture appeared. It's rather my play on MuppetVision 3-D, using the short focal depth to almost make the nose appear to be flying off the screen right at you. One of the best pictures I've ever taken. Period. Bar none.
when we finally got to the top of the mountain the wind was so bad and it was so cold ...time to head home to a nice warm house !

One of my locals decided to renew his driveway with the help of a "Small Building Projects" builder from Windsor, by the name of James H Kelleway.
Cracking job but a massive amount of work for two people. Eagle Plant hire equipment folks supplied a dumpster truck and digger complete with a "pecker" attachment to break up sections of concrete and move materials around, for the first week.
The job was over 8 weeks work but split up by Christmas break. As usual mission creep sets in with a new fence being installed as well as a soak-away for rain water with a gulley.
A lot of materials and lorry loads delivering scalpings for foundations, sand cement, fencing, and of course thousands of blocks which were all laid individually with edgings that are cemented boundaries to keep the blocks in place.
Anyway with a great opportunity to film it - so here is the result.
Film info:- filmed with iPhone 13 Pro Max, some sections with Moondog Anamorphic lens which finally arrived from America during the project.
Various apps used to film it , Protake for time-lapse sections, Filmic Pro for others, Beast Cam until I found it was not recording stereo sound, and the standard Apple video App with the new Cinematic features were tested out.
Edit work all done on Apple Final Cut Pro X. Copyright free music from FCPX.
It was a pretty cold time on a few days but lucky for me I could go back home and warm up indoors !! But due to the very dry January only a couple of days were lost due to bad weather. A few frosty starts meant work had to be re-arranged until the sand thawed out.
Hope you enjoy the little film.
Any suggestions on improvements welcome to have comments.
My "fireplace" is only 4K, but on the other hand the Einstök Ölgerð beer stays cold.
Time to quit playing with the camera, and have a cold beer with a crackling fire on a Christmas evening.

This is Waikiki at Dusk Forever, a tiki cocktail created by Shelby Allison and Erin Hayes for Lost Lake in Chicago and published in Minimalist Tiki in 2019. This is part of the monthly cocktail book club and this one was selected by Jay of @the_mixlab for December. Generally speaking, tiki drinks can get type-casted as a summertime occasion, but I disagree and I believe that a lot of tiki mixology's success comes from its escapism. That's why I think this cocktail is a smart pick for this cold time of year. The flavors central to this cocktail are banana and coffee which mesh beautifully. These are enhanced with cinnamon and passion fruit as well as cream for some richness. Rum is the obvious spirit of choice but Allison and Hayes split this element into two overproof rums and a solid aged rum. It all comes together for a drink that is dangerously sippable for how rich and boozy it is. Whether you're looking for an escape or just a decadent treat, this cocktail should hit the spot.
1 oz aged rum (Lost Lake uses Angostura 7 year)
0.5 oz overproof aged jamaican rum (Lost Lake uses Smith & Cross)
0.5 oz Plantation O.F.T.D rum
0.5 oz banana liqueur (Lost Lake uses Giffard)
0.75 oz heavy cream
0.5 oz cold brew coffee (see note)
0.75 oz passion fruit syrup
0.5 oz cinnamon syrup
Combine all of the ingredient into a shaker tin. Add a small scoop of crushed or pebble ice and whip shake. Strain into a chilled tiki vessel of your choice. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, an orange peel, an edible orchid, cinnamon stick, and a banana slice (I didn't have all of these and so I improvised. I suggest you do the same)
Note: I didn't have cold brew coffee, but I did have a great coffee liqueur so I made the following substitutions and felt like it was very balanced:
0.5 oz coffee liqueur (Mr. Black FTW)
0.5 oz passion fruit syrup
0.25 oz cinnamon syrup

To help all my Northern Hemisphere contacts during this colder time of the year - pleased to present to you this lovely shoot I managed to do the other day with Natasha and Vivi.
That time of day when the snow turns blue....this was Blue Hour, late pm.
We've had a lot of snow lately, and the temps have remained cold...time to go around the neighborhood with the camera..
(Comment one has several shots)
Loved the Olympics...and now they're finished, ah but the World Cup is this summer:)
Thank you for your visit, I appreciate it!.....Pat...xo...

I had a car crash last Thurs....no one was hurt, but I won't get my car back for awhile so my choices are:
More house cleaning...^^~~~~~~
More photography !!!!!!!!!!!
More sports activity !!!!!!!!!!
Between being sick for a month and the car crash, this is a winter I won't forget....although I'd like to:)
I took this image last year while on a trip to The Richtersveld which is on the border of South Africa and Namibia. This is the Orange River. We are going there again next week and will be camping at this site.
I hope we don't have as much rain this time as we did then. It is a cold time of the year, but there aren't too many people that venture there at this time of the year, so desolation is perfect.
