More and more of the St. Lawrence River is freezing over. Was able to reach a section of open water with broken ice due to high winds the day before. A lovely sunset under clouds with snow on the forecast soon. Also, ongoing below freezing temperatures will create more ice. A closer view below...
Have you ever wondered why ghosts are depicted as looking like people with sheets draped over them? Perhaps because people sometimes do throw sheets over their heads and mock the dead by pretending to be ghosts. I don’t know that I believe in ghosts. I suspect that we are so tied to our bodies that when our bodies fail that whatever is left (if anything) is too fragile to make its self known. Perhaps the prototypic ghost shape represents some other phenomena.
A member of my immediate family is something of an amateur ghost hunter. He shared with me a video he took of phenomena that looks something like a traditional ghost. Less so a man with a sheet over his head than a source of glowing energy like an elongated jelly fish. If you wish to see the video and judge for yourself, you may watch it here:

Early in 1914, moreover, we realized that it would be impossible to free the Saint Anna from the ice; at best, we would drift until the autumn of 1915, more than three years after we had departed Alexandrovsk.* If we stayed on board, starvation would become a real threat by January 1915, if not sooner. In the darkness of the long polar night, a struggle against hunger carries no hope of salvation. During this season, hunting is out of the question, as all animals are in hibernation. The only certainty for those trapped in its realm is that "white death" lies in wait for them.

I think this is most likely Linyphia triangularis
Here's one you may not immediately recognize from Zion NP. This is The Subway with higher than normal water flow!
sitting the brass incense burning on the soap stone case incense burner and getting lights right presents a flow unique and pixel worthy.
Cotton bed linen in a lovely old French Armoire we found a few years ago. I was carried away by the need to photograph something for Macro Mondays, Cotton, but kind of forgot it needed to be less than 3" so now I am going to have to think again....
Over the past decade one of the common advices given to aspiring photographers is to explore various of photographic themes from which they may start developing their own style. Style, so I believe, is first and foremost the reflection of the photographer’s own personality combined with his/her favored theme/subject and her preferred technique(s) of execution. It’s good advise even though slightly inadequate.
I have realized this couple of months ago when my work was criticized as “mirroring the reality”. Indeed, simply just. Behind the bland words and the euphemistic praises the critique is not very pleasant to read, however it was probably one of the most insightful critique I ever received. It hallowed me to deepen the engagement with my subjects, not in order to capture photographs but to make pictures and even tableaux.
So let’s start with a ‘blank sheet’

Falling snow obscures the forrest and the lakeside along which I stand. Magical. I was the first one out on the trail today, so I didn’t encounter a singe footprint for the first 5 km.
