This was a short moment of sunshine during my walk in a forest near home earlier this week. If you look along the path you can see that the fog was already about to roll in again. The forest is mainly a deciduous forest and looks great in spring and autumn but rather boring in winter unless we have snow or, like in this case, frost.

The mountain railway tracks and the LLanberis path on the left leading up to the summit of Mount Snowdon.
Out of all the times I've been up I've never seen it so clear on the approach (ok, we were going down when I took this) - where normally it's shrouded in cloud and mist where one can only see a few metres in front.

Merry Christmas and best wishes to all my friends!!
Many Thanks for your comments and support all the years!
This trip in the maritime alps, is a beautiful steep path between rock and nature, and is the first part of Nietzsche's historic road. It starts near the Èze-sur-Mer train station and leads to the Èze-Village. This path gives you a wonderful view of the valley and the sea and goes through the beautiful Moorish village Èze built in the twelfth century. I walked both ways 8,4 km², both up and down which I can recommend.
The trail got its name from the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who came there on holiday and loved to walk there.
Length one way 4.2 km² Elevation 391 m.

Also known as a Sand Martin, this is a very rare visitor to our Southern state though more common in North India where they winter after migrating from the Pale Arctic region. They have a wide spread across much of Europe, Asia and even North America.
The birds are pretty small - maybe 12-14 cms and have a slow erratic flight path. They tend to catch the insects in flight making them pretty hard to shoot in flight. Two birds came to a city lake, I was lucky to have spotted them close. I sat on the ground trying to shoot some birds and this one came close by giving this wonderful opportunity. The birds are solo fliers unlike other swallows like the Barn Swallow or Streak Throated Swallow which fly in small groups. The Bank swallow joined others species, but it was flying alone with no other members of its species around.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
