Thank you all for your visits and comments, and especially for the help!
I'm thinking of using this one in a competition at the local camera club... because now I think that they would mark the other version down for the bright spot... so you've all helped!! Thank you! :-)

I took this picture after a nice hiking tour on Mount Pilatus in Lucerne, Switzerland.
I used a 10 stop ND filter to get the water of the river as smooth and flat as possible.
This color was a nightmare to edit ! Really hard to give the real aspect of this color with the camera.

The U23, or Type 23, was a light (2-ton) truck introduced by Citroën in 1936. Although the engine cowling and front body was looking similar with the Citroën Traction Avant's, the U23 had a conventional rear-drive transmission.
The production lasted for a very long time, from the late thirties to the early sixties. One major customer was the French military, who ordered large quantities of Type 23s after the declaration of World War II. At the time of the German invasion, more than 12,000 Type 23 had been delivered in less than ten months. About 6000 Citroën U23 were pressed into German service after the French defeat of june 1940.
There has been two distinct body styles, since the U23 underwent a major restyling in the fifties. The Citroën U23 was replaced by the Citroën 350 to 850, also called Belphegor.
The Story
This mother and cub (child) was passing by while we was doing some climatic research in the Fram Straight. I think the scene was a bit interesting with the birds in the background. The colors up here is really special. The Polar Bear is the biggest of all bears. This day we saw 19 of them. This mother and cub was close to a big male bear. That is unusual to see. The male Polar Bear is known of killing the cubs so he can get the mother interested in him. But nothing happened, not as long as we was there.

Out for 'The Lakeland Explorer' where should we go? Slindon? No. Chorlton? No, we went there last weekend. Acton Bridge? No. Winwick? No. Red Bank? Yes. We got there about a minute before 68020 and 68004 passed with 4S43. Then I went for a shot of 70002 working 4M27. Whilst I was heading back to the shot for the tour which wasn't due for 10 minutes I heard it! 68021 passes Red Bank, 8 early, working the Taunton - Carlisle, Pathfinder charter 16/7/16
There's something in the melodies
That the Christmas season brings
Joy and laughter in the air
Smiling faces everywhere

The Nicolas church, usually known as the Bergkerk or Hill Church, in my hometown. Actually quite a difficult shot to get as you can't really take the distance you want, so this is a 3-shot panorma.
The Church was built in Late Gothic style in the late 12th Century on a sand hill that was created by the river IJssel. Originally Roman-Catholic, later Dutch Reformed. Nowadays a venue for concerts and performances.
