31-January-2022: when, near you, there are contiguous areas with different meteorological and micro-climatic peculiarities, something is always found (even in a winter that has offered little more than nothing), but you must be ready to seize the opportunities given; this is not easy but sometimes very sathisfactory.
The tail of a cold front from the North, one of the very few that touched the area (always at night, no conditions!) during a short retreat of the African Anticyclone, after having cutted off the Alps and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (sheltered, in winter, by the Tauern chain, in Austria) reformed between the Slovenian plain and the Eastern Karst Region/Northern Dinarides with a series of snow showers in the form of squall-line.
Not for nothing I was there...
As soon as the fast snowfall stopped, I thought I'd take some photos in the only area that is always illuminated in that wide virgin Forest at night.
Artificial light is certainly not like solar one, but, also in this case, it is "of necessity-virtue".
The lights with different tones, reflected from the snow and accumulated by the long pose, create a "carnival" of particular colors.
Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.

I hope you enjoy.
Teeny Weeny, upside down hover fly feasting on a lily stamen.
Worth a double click zoom - I've upscaled it x2 so you could better see the pollen in his mouth though for some reason the upscale version on here doesn't seem to zoom any more than the normal version on my pc, so not much point :^))
I was simply trying to photograph the Lily when I decided to get a bit closer and see if anything turned up.....and of course, it did :^)
Reflected in the dewdrop which is hanging down from one of my other plants is a potted tomato plant, and one of my house's windows. The dewdrop wasn't much larger than the size of a paper match head! Micro (macro) photo...click on it to view larger.
