My first ever lightning shot, from a relatively weak storm here in Berlin last night.

 

Thanks to those following me so far, means a lot and thanks for all the comments :)

 

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Murano

is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy.

Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and the destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.

Murano glass is still associated with Venetian glass

First light in Iqaluit is a threshold — a spectrum of beginnings refracted across horizon and memory. Each dawn bends possibility into choice, reminding us that resilience is not singular but renewed daily, a ritual of orientation at the edge of the Arctic.

Tiny stamens intertwined, looks like a couple on a dance floor at a wedding

First cold day and a wonderful morning sun

Der erste kalte Tag mit aufgehender Sonne

My first autumn in Norway was a really wonderful one. Since then I've been in Norway 3 times more during autumn. It is so special those wonderful autumn colors🍁

…this is a tidal river than runs along the Pemaquid Peninsula. Our first morning at 32F, 0C!

Sandwich Harbor, Namibia

 

First sun meets sleeping dunes in the Sandwich Harbor area of Namibia.

I got some wonderful sunrises whilst staying in Funchal Madeira. Going in late October guaranteed comfortable sunrise times and this was a shot I took just before going for a sumptuous breakfast at the Hotel.

 

That seems such a long time ago now as I stare out of the window at sleet and snow sweeping across the garden here.

many thanks for all your visits, favs or comments

first bee in our garden this year

A rare un-rebuilt SD70MAC leads southbound doublestack train Q203 into the hole at North Cairo amidst freshly fallen powder. Still is extremely weird to call these once ubiquitous wide-nosed EMDs "rare", but considering this is the first one I have photographed in three years with most on the CSX roster either stored or rebuilt, it is what it is...

Early morning winter light hitting the Nantle Ridge, Mynydd Mawr and the mountains further down in the Llyn Peninsular.

I was so lucky to see the last two baby birds leaving the nesting box. The rest had already gone.

It happened very fast and it wasn't easy to capture this!

First storm of 2019 in Rosendahl-Darfeld, Germany

The kids went out for their first snow of the year.

Today, the first snow outside my window)

There is nothing quite as encouraging as a walk on the beach at dawn. The cold air, the magical sky, the anticipation of a new day being revealed ... it's like an energy drink for the soul!

I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.

 

Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...

 

Got me a picture of lightning!

This is what an inch and a half of snow looks like when it turns out to be almost five inches.

 

The only barn in our immediate area and it's owned by Cook Country.......so I guess one could say that I own a piece of this property in paying county taxes.......
