WINTER: 21 December, 2016 - 19 March, 2017
The onset of dusk.
Open blue sky, clouds, sunset lighting, pasture, a highway, and gravel road... recipe for a typical rural Midwest scene.
Rush hour out here.

The sun sets over Cody peak and the North Fork of the Shoshone River in Shoshone National Forest near Sleeping Giant Ski Area, Wyoming.
Photos taken yesterday and today at Reumannplatz in Favoriten, the 10th district of Vienna
In the background you can see the Amalienbad, a beautiful indoor swimming pool from the time of Red Vienna (it was completed in 1926). The Christmas tree, indicating the beginning of the pre-Christmas season, stands rather lonely due to the simultaneous lockdown.
*Wintereinbruch im Buchenwald*
There has been some snow here since yesterday morning and has certainly surprised the last beech trees that still had their autumn leaves.
Seit gestern Morgen liegt hier etwas Schnee und hat sicherlich die letzten noch belaubten Buchen im Wald überrascht.
A visit to a reserve forest on the edge of the city yielded some good photo opportunities - the place was busy with the several migrants and a pair of common kingfishers that were trying to make a family. They found a place to nest on the banks of a large pond that had 3-4 feet tall sand walls.
The bird was foraging in a reserve forest area next to a pond which is nearly dry due to the onset of early summer here. The male, in this picture, came close to this bush where I was sitting and surveyed the pond and shortly dived and got himself a catch. Thanks to good light, this was a sharp shot!
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Onset of lowtide as seen from the Waddijk. The Waddenzee falls dry twice a day when thousands of birds are foraging for food.

At the onset of blue hour, C39-8 #1032 emerges from the towering rock walls of the high Andes, flying high over the trestle at Inferno. The FCCA climbs almost 16,000 feet between the port of Callao and the summit at Galera, passing through countless switchbacks and tunnels, and over several majestic trestles.
We are at approximately 11,000 feet (3,350m) here at Inferno, but the biggest hazard is not the high elevation nor is it the treacherous climbs to the shots…rather it is the completely unhinged, chaotic, lawless, and often lethal highway that parallels the mainline. Up-grade, slow, overloaded, unregulated semis meet down-grade, aggressive, and often erratic counterparts on narrow roads, all the while cars, motorbikes, and buses alike zip in and out, often flipping into opposing traffic with reckless impulse, and at the narrowest of margins. Turning a bend to find a wrong-way semi barreling down at you is commonplace and often involves a split-second swerve (hopefully not over the cliff) into the shoulder (if it exists) or opposing lane (if empty), all at dizzying heights. We came within inches of our life multiple times. We saw the aftermath of several gruesome and fatal collisions. Navigating Peru’s mountain highways are not for the faint of heart and by God’s grace, we made it out alive.
Onset of winter in Vienna
Near the Donauweibchenbrunnen, a fountain in the Stadtpark (City Park)
In a Viennese legend the Donauweibchen ("Danube Maiden") is a benevolent water spirit, who warned fishermen against dangers of flooding, but also was a danger for young fishermen herself.
The leaves are produced in the autumn or early spring in warm climates depending on the onset of rain and eventually die down by late spring. The bulb is then dormant until late summer. The plant is not frost-tolerant, nor does it do well in tropical environments since they require a dry resting period between leaf growth and flower spike production.
