Frosty same view different day.

Thank you for you visit to my little space here on Flickr.
Same field, other denizen. Here just off Knickerbocker Road in Pittsford, New York, is a wonderful Halictid Bee gathering pollen on Fleabane.
Another composition from Lochdon on Mull - see the previously posted image here www.flickr.com/photos/twodeeswildlife/54832142960/in/date... - this one with a nice reflection and slightly different white balance.
The first month of 2025 has been an essay in how cold we can get! Although we are on the same latitude as Moscow, we do have the warming influence of an ocean around Scotland's shores. So we probably shouldn't complain, but of course we do 😊
-16c was the lowest we managed - and snow a foot deep. So we were quite home-centred, and shooting, even in the garden, was quite an adventure. After keeping ourselves warm, we spent a lot of time trying to ensure our garden birds survived too. Icy weather for a few days is not too bad - but when it extends to 2 or 3 weeks, they were suffering. Both water and food froze solid so quickly!
So there are a lot of white images in the monthly collage! I used one snow bokeh image as the background for the collage. Happily the group challenges gave me inspiration for indoor and tabletop still life shots, as we felt the memories of 'lockdown' returning 😊
February is beginning with the same sub-zero world, though much of the snow has gone. But we are looking forward to a very early and very warm Spring! Well - we can dream!
As ever - many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.

I think this has to be the last one.... more piers (sic) than the House of Lords.
Brighton Jetty in South Australia at sunrise - you can see the very early rays strike the crows nest structure at the end of the pier.
The metal structure in the middle of the pier has a set of wires (just visible on a big screen). When the wind blows in the right direction, the wires vibrate like guitar strings and make music. Now, when I say music, its more like a cat singing along to bagpipes - but still a cool idea.
Clearly the fungus goes all the way through the rotted core of the tree. But does the fungus cause the rot, or does the rot simply form an excellent habitat for the fungus?
I hope some fungi-philes out there will express an opinion about the type of fungus and my chicken-or-egg question.
...even when they are only partially there themselves.
I don't have the time to really write tonight, I have to run here in a moment to go teach a class and if I don't post this now it will be really late by the time I get the chance to post again.
I will say that my assignment I will be giving the class tonight will be to choose a location close to home, somewhere within say, a five minute walk, somewhere they could easily go to every day, and then go to that place as many times as they can this week and to make photos. The idea being that on the second, third, fourth or fifth trip to a spot you look at it differently. It is an exercising in learning how to see. This bridge is my spot. I go there again and again, reminding myself that every time I go to look at it with fresh eyes no matter how familiar it may seem... it is never really the same bridge. This practice has served me well over the years, hopefully it helps my students too.
P.S. Saw a short video on-line today about Abelardo Morell. Do your inner photographer a favor and look him up. He has been a favorite of mine for many years now but his more recent tent camera work is so intriguing.

Same corner and lens, different angle. Can't see the riders faces, but some good corner shapes and like the way it shows the straight the riders are turning into.
Press the key "L" to see full screen size - press the same key again to return to the original size.
Same tower, different railroad. Where there was once four tracks are now only three. What appears to be a local is seen gliding past MG Tower on main one, likely headed for Altoona. It appears between the last shot and now, the home signals have gotten some fresh paint, and the interlocking and tower appear in splendid condition - even the switch machine looks like it got some fresh paint!
CR 6512. Altoona, PA.
September 1, 1985. Scott Cotner photo.
Adam Klimchock collection.
Using some of that light from the hotels down onto the beach and ocean ... here I kept the ISO at 2500 to get some of the stars, but went from f/8 @ 30 seconds to f/4 at 4 seconds ... wanted to get the water waves in action and not smoothed out too much, plus wanted to capture the night sky there with less apparent motion with the shutter limited to 4 seconds as well.
A great beach there in Maryland to walk as night takes over. Just enough light to see and take in the sea sounds and smells. Can remember walking this beach with my parents many years ago as a child looking for sea shells by flashlight.
Now out capturing photons by the sea at night ;)
How times change ... but the enjoyment is still the same!!

نعيش من الفراغ ما الله به عليم
حتى كان لكل صغيرة وكبيرة ضجيج نملأ به جنبات سكون الفراغ
عرفنا الدنيا منذ ولدنا والشر فيها هو الغالب .. وما زلنا ندندن على نفس القيثارة
نلعن ونشتم الفسق والعهر .. وستبقى اللعنات تصيب الظلام ولا نرى شموعا
هكذا صارت كل أوقاتنا تنفيس وثرثرة .. تحدث ضجيج أكبر من واقع ما يحتاج إليه كل أمر

Sorry, flickr reproduces this picture in an absolute shitty quality in the smaller versions :(
Compare to the original version :

In photoshop the image file looks technically very good with relatively smooth gradations in the dark area (at the walls).
Maybe someone of you has an idea what the problem could be...
The same BN westbound coal empties have topped the hill and run through the tunnel at Belmont, and now gingerly observe the 20mph limit as they round "Breezy Point" at 1730. Breezy Point was really a tight horseshoe curve with a hill in the middle of it; in less than a mile the train will begin heeling to the curve of THE horseshoe curve at the end of the canyon to the left. Then the engine crew and way car crew can exchange waves across the canyon.
