Having fun making spheres, which I haven't done for quite awhile and forgot how fun it is. Thanks to all for your comments, faves and invites!
Whittington Manor was built in 1310 and still has many original features. Nowadays it is a pub/restaurant.

A cold front of North Atlantic origin, accompanied by Arctic-maritime air, colliding with pre-existing humid air gave rise to heavy snowfall between the late evening and night of Sunday 22 December 2024.
The Dinarides, which includes the Karst Region between Italy and especially Slovenia, were hit.
From 15cm at 4-500m, it reached up to half a meter above 7-800m altitude.
Temperatures, however, did not fall below 0°C below 700m altitude, but the intensity of the precipitation, with even white hail thunderstorms, which acted as a substrate, allowed the snow to take root for the most part and reach dustings down to 400m on the reliefs around Trieste.
Naturally, with the end of the precipitation, which dragged cold air from higher altitudes, temperatures have started to rise again, although the snow cover (of excellent quality) seems to be able to resist for a few days.
Campiglia marittima, that is of the Maremma (in Latin Maritima), a medieval town considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, was already inhabited in the Etruscan and Roman times due to the wealth of minerals in the area. The first official document mentioning Campiglia dates back to 1004.
It is today considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
Back from another work trip to Salt Lake City. Hope everyone had a great holiday season and have a great weekend.

Cavazzo is a sub-mountain lake located at low altitude (190m above sea level), between the Friuli upper plain and the Carnic pre-Alps, with rather still water and rich in vegetation, but the pre-Alpine surroundings make it fascinating and the color of the water resembles that of Alpine lakes.
Being a lake not particularly oxygenated and rather hot in summer, it is inhabited mainly by cyprinids and it is easy to observe Carps (Cyprinus carpio) and Mirror Carps (Cyprinus carpio specularis) at their maximum size, visible especially in the internal pond and in the reeds where they hide and reproduce.
Fishing is prohibited as it is a site intended for reproduction.
It is in a large valley where there is considerable air exchange between the Alpine valleys, the plain and the Adriatic sea, with very abundant precipitation (over 2000mm/year), especially in autumn, frequent and strong thunderstorms, especially from May to September, average temperatures are similar to those of the upper part of the Friuli plain with very little winter snowfall, as per the Friuli plain.
It is a well-kept and touristic place, pleasant for relaxing and breezy walks.

Despite what some (too many) report, Chicago, my home for over 16 years, is a beautiful city with incredible people. It's diversity and inclusion are what make it so special.
For years, I have not participated in 'Roid Week as intentionally, fully and joyfully as I have this week. Art is one of my acts of rebellion and creating is what helps me to express what I feel internally in a tangible way. I have not been able to treat my patients since the start of the shut down, and it's incredibly frustrating and sad. But I must say, this is the best week I've had in a month.
Thank you fellow analogue lovers and nerds. See you in the Spring!!!
God, hear me!
They told me you didn't exist, and I trusted them like a jerk.
But last night, in the garnet hole, I saw your heaven.
Suddenly, I realized they were lying to me.
If I tried to take a good look
on the things you created,
I'd understand right away that those
they denied that the cat is cat.
It's strange that I had to
get to this hell,
so I can have time to see your face
I like you so much...
That's what I wanted you to know.
There's going to be a terrible battle coming up.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll come to your place tonight.
We weren't good friends,
And I'm asking, my God,
will you be waiting for me at the door?
Look, this is how I cry!
I'm the one who's here going to start whining!
If only I'd known you sooner...
let's go! We have to go now!
It's ridiculous:
When I met you,
I'm not afraid to die anymore.
goodbye!

Some fiddling about in lightroom to bring the reflection up to be brighter than the subject. Use a graduated filter increasing exposure to do this and finish off with a brightening/positive vignette
