Dutch settlers to the USA took the stories of St. Nicholas or 'Sinterklaas', as he'd come to be known in parts of northern Europe, with them.

 

Over time the celebration of Sinterklaas died out in the early USA. However, St. Nicholas became popular again in the early 1800s when writers, poets and artists, such as Washington Irving, rediscovered the old Dutch stories about St Nicholas. In their new and re-worked stories and St Nicholas / Sinterklaas became 'Santa Claus'!

A new year, new challenges and one of my new year resolutions is to try out more different kinds of photography. Minimalism fascinates me and I love photographing in shades of white. For this photo I placed a white sheet of cardboard on an outside table and photographed the white egg in hard sunshine so that I would get a strong shadow. The result seemed perfect for representing a new beginning.

I saw three ships come sailing in

On Christmas day, on Christmas day

I saw three ships come sailing in

On Christmas day in the morning

And what was in those ships, all three

On Christmas day, on Christmas day?

And what was in those ships, all three

On Christmas day in the morning?

Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady

On Christmas day, on Christmas day

Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady

On Christmas day in the morning

And all the bells on earth shall ring

On Christmas day, on Christmas day

And all the bells on earth shall ring

On Christmas day in the morning

And all the angels in Heaven shall sing

On Christmas day, on Christmas day

And all the angels in Heaven shall sing

On Christmas day in the morning

And let us all rejoice and sing

On Christmas day, on Christmas day

And let us all rejoice and sing

On Christmas day in the morning

On Christmas day in the morning

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, da, da, da

La, da, da, da

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

"The Holly and the Ivy" is a traditional British folk Christmas carol, listed as number 514 in the Roud Folk Song Index. The song can be traced only as far as the early nineteenth century, but the lyrics reflect an association between holly and Christmas dating at least as far as medieval times.

ODC - A New Challenge

Take Aim - Monochrome

 

My newest project is trying to refine my processing skills, especially compositing, by learning to use a Wacom tablet. In the interest of full disclosure... I've been down this road before - gave up after a few tries - I seem to be doing better this time, though, so hope is still alive!

 

This is a beautiful trail with a lot of elevation climbs and dips back towards the valley floor.

Just about when you think you have missed the turn off for the Washout Trail which will take you back to your parking area....

it appears.

 

Important things to have.

lora:Winter Feiertage-nightcafe

So far the new year has not started off like Stormtrooper Bruce had hoped. He can only hope it gets better.

 

Vader: Pardon my intrusion on your little … Whoa! What’s going on? Where is everyone?

 

STB: The guys are off on missions – earning their keep. So this weekend I’ve decided to do some reading and enjoy some Quiet Time.

 

Vader: In that case, pardon my intrusion on your “quiet time” but I have some good news and some bad news, and thought it best to deliver it in person before it’s officially announced first of next week.

 

STB: Um… OK. Let’s start with the good news.

 

Vader: Well, as you know the Festival Bake Off was a colossal disaster. There were so many desserts entered the vast majority spoiled before the judges could get to them. Since every entry was numbered, the only solution is to have anyone still interested put their number in a pool and then we’ll draw 50 numbers, and those 50 will get another chance to enter a new dessert in a more controlled contest.

 

STB: You’re joking, right? Oh, sorry. I know you wouldn’t joke about that. But how can that possibly end well?

 

Vader: The Emperor has decided to oversee this Bake Off, and will be announcing new prizes at the time of the drawing.

 

STB: Well, that should cut down on the masses. Maybe only those who are serious bakers will enter. Just curious - any idea what the prizes will be?

 

Vader: Unfortunately, yes.

 

STB: Anything I might be interested in?

 

Vader: Unfortunately, no.

 

STB: Oh-Kay then. Let’s move along. If that was the good news, I’m not sure I want to hear the bad news. But go ahead. I’m a Trooper, I can take anything.

 

Vader: Good thing you’re sitting down. When the Emperor returned from his holiday, his sister and her family were still with him. Seems they just can’t find a suitable world they want to settle down in. And yes, that means his nephew is back on board.

 

STB:

 

Vader: Just thought you should know. Enjoy your quiet time while you can. Apparently my mishandling of the Bake Off has earned me temporary babysitting duties, but it won’t last forever.

 

STB: Sir, under the circumstances would you care to join me? I’ve got a cooler full of cold ones and I can make another grilled cheese sammy in no time.

There is a good reason for this name. The steep parts DO washout in heavy rains.

The KVR needs to put up a marker in the valley where there appears to be a choice of ways to go.

There really isn't, but a bit of map reading certainly will help.

Oh

The Kickapoo twice this month closed this road an bridge.

It is a quiet and unassuming river until we have a heavy rain.

Strife and difficulties are abundant this winter and taking their toll financially and emotionally.. While I like the mood of this image, to me it displays the hardships some are suffering, and the beauty of the season.

From the First shoot of 2015, trying something new to me, I hope you like it. A long exposure in a VW Golf GTI MK7 PP kindly provided by Homeless Cars (www.facebook.com/HomelessCars) Please check out my facebook group www.facebook.com/ShotInTheDarkADI
