Taken November 25. Desert Tortoise should be hibernating by now, but this guy was still out wandering around.
Creative Hibernation
If watercolor photographs
Dissolve in grays
I welcome winter
To hibernate in poetry
Engraving these words
Deeply
Completely
Without confusion or unrest
That my existence is amiss

This is a close-up HDR photo of air bubbles that formed in the ice in the shallow channels beside the river.
There is still a lot of snow in our backyard garden in Sapporo. The plants are patiently waiting for their time to come.

Hibernating buses, Ester, Alaska, 12/13/2018. Awakening in late spring and ravenous, these colorful Alaskan buses will consume thousands of tourists during Alaska's short summer months only to return to their long slumbers under a blanket of snow for the duration of the cold, dark months of winter. ;)
The weekend before the last I was really mad at myself for being too lazy to get out in the cold in the morning, and by the time I was motivated, I didn’t have much time. Nevertheless, I thought I could take a short walk with my camera at lunchtime, so I was going to drive to a specific place in my hometown from which I knew that it had potential for some nice images. However, there was quite a layer of snow on the road and so I couldn’t drive up the hill, mostly because I had to slow down to get around the only tight turn. I really regret not getting out sooner because then I could have walked up there, but that’s the way it was. So I spent the following week hoping for some snow the next weekend.
Fortunately, it snowed the next Friday and this time I was sure to get out, no matter what the weather conditions are. The next morning, we woke up, put on several layers to protect ourselves from the cold and started our hike up the local mountain. Since not a single person had hiked up there that morning, we had to fight our way through a calf-high layer of snow resulting in a hike that took us more than two hours instead of the 45 minutes it takes us to get up there in summer. Of course we stopped a few time to take some images, but mostly with our smartphones as the snow was beautiful, but I found the scenes were lacking some mist that reduces the chaos and typically drastically simplifies such forest scenery.
Once we reached the top, we were very happy that the hut was open and we could warm up and get something to drink and eat. After a fairly substantial lunch, we decided to start our descent, but before I really wanted to walk up the last few steps to the summit cross, especially since a bit of mist was rolling in. I knew that I had once taken a quite nice image at this spot, but I noticed that my girlfriend wasn’t really in the mood to wait long for me since it was really cold and windy out there. So I hurried up, took out my camera and snapped a few handheld shots, and I was really glad I did when I looked at them on the laptop. Even though it was not exactly what I had imagined, I really like how this image turned out. I hope you like it too!
It's sunny today but oh so cold. I took my first walk early in the morning but returned home quickly as we had -14C at that time (I think I beat my own speed record when I walked around lake Monrepos). Around noon I gave it another try. It was "warmer" but still well below 0C. I came by this shed with farming equipment which looked as if it had barely survived the last winter storm and will probably succumb to the next.

I've been hibernating from my photography as well, which saddens me a lot...Happy Tuesday my friends...Hope the air traffic ban in Europe ease up, I'm expecting friends and sad that they won't be here :(
