We are not done with winter yet.
We don't have so much snow here at the moment,but its still white here.
This sight though, is a true wonder and it's right outside my window - how lucky am I 😊
Snow coated branches is some of the most beautiful I know of.

Lucky to get in Moraine Lake in the early morning once in the whole trip. Staying close to the edge of the lake for over two hours at 0C, watching the beautiful Moraine Lake was looming in the mist from the blue hour to red with sunrise light, then golden hour… Five photos were stacked together taken during golden hour. There was gentle breeze when I took these set of photos, not perfect reflection. 😉

A lone hiker explores the huge rock canyons, arches, and windows early in the morning. There's an almost endless supply of rock formations to explore and daybreak is the best time to do so. The rock almost glows red in color as the low angle sun hits it for the first time.

Taken on a recent trip to the west coast of Scotland was rewarded with this image after a long wait for heavy showers to stop. Was well worth the wait I was not aware at the time it was a double rainbow.

As the sun began to set, I looked upstream from the waves for a few minutes. No surprise that occupants are being warned of flooding. My favourite part is the Surfer [middle right] who was weighing up how to ride these unusual waves, out of view of the Coastguard, who were there in force! It's always a lovely surprise to feature in Explore - thank you all for your visits, kind comments and favourites, all are very much appreciated!
A quick meeting outside Toronto's Queen Street subway station resulted in this street portrait of Pops. Some skepticism resulted from my introducing myself and my request to photograph him. I think my sharing my name did something to tip the balance. He consented and I took just this one photo. He seemed satisfied when I showed him the result, but his initial skepticism still shows in the portrait.
Harvesting my lemon balm today, I suddenly had this nice little guest. A kind of baby grashopper.
1st shot of a little series.

The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory is is located at about 2'300m MSL on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. The observatory site is operated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, based on nearby Tenerife and is part of the European North Observatory.
I captured some of of the main instruments of the site under the Milky Way core during my visit of La Palma.
From left to right, the image shows:
- One of the two MAGIC telescopes (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes). MAGIC detects particle showers released by gamma rays, using the Cherenkov radiation, i.e. faint light radiated by the charged particles in the showers. The MAGIC telescope has a diameter of 17 meters for the reflecting surface.
- The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GranTeCan or GTC), a 10.4 m (410 in) Ritchey-Chrétien reflecting telescope. It is the world's largest single-aperture optical telescope and is used for near-infrared imaging.
- The Large Size Telescope (LST) is a 23 meter reflecting telescope to be featured in the future Northern Site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The prototype of the LST, called LST-1, finished construction and was inaugurated on October 10th, 2018. LST-1 is currently in the commissioning phase. Three more LSTs are planned to be built, finishing construction in mid 2024.
