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.

Not the best captures, but interesting nonetheless.
Wikipedia: Hornbills are generally monogamous and breed between January and June; oriental pied hornbills typically commence breeding in February. This coincides with the onset of rain depending on geographic location, and peak abundance of fruit.
Hornbills are secondary cavity nesters, meaning that they typically do not excavate their own nesting sites but use those created by other birds or by branches breaking off. Because hornbills rely on pre-excavated cavities, selection of suitable nest-sites within their environment has major impacts on breeding success. When females have selected and entered their nest, they seal the cavity with a mixture of saliva, mud, fruit, droppings and tree bark, leaving only a small opening through which food may be passed in. The male forages for the female and chicks, and the female feeds the nestlings. Chicks remain inside the nest with the female for several months until there are ready to fledge. Oriental pied hornbills have shown to return to their previous nest for subsequent nesting seasons.

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.
Onset of lowtide as seen from the Waddijk. The Waddenzee falls dry twice a day when thousands of birds are foraging for food.

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.
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.
Yesterday’s onset of winter doesn’t matter much to the daffodils.

Of course I am aware that this should actually mean autumn leaves. But when the onset of winter meets an autumn that has just reached its peak, then you just have to create a new word.
I don't know how you feel about it. But for me it was an extraordinary sight that the leaves still had such strong colors at the time of the first snow.
By the way, this is another photo from my little hike from last Sunday. Up there after the curve I came across the horses, one of which you saw yesterday.
Natürlich bin ich mir bewusst, dass das eigentlich Herbstlaub heissen müsste. Doch wenn der Wintereinbruch auf einen Herbst trifft, der gerade erst seinen Höchststand erreicht hat, dann muss man eben mal ein neues Wort kreieren.
Ich weiss ja nicht, wie es Euch damit geht. Doch für mich war das schon ein außergwöhnlicher Anblick, dass die Blätter zum Zeitpunkt des ersten Schnees noch so kräftige Farben haben.
Dies ist übrigens ein weiteres Foto von meiner kleinen Wanderung vom letzten Sonntag. Dort oben nach der Kurve bin ich dann auf die Pferde gestoßen, von denen Ihr gestern eins gesehen habt.
