Although I used a Paul Simon song title this photo reminded me of that scene at the end of Gregory's Girl where they are dancing together while lying down. The raised leg and arm certainly looks like he is throwing some shapes here. What is really going on is that he is both cleaning himself, and cooling down in the snow. He was actually dirtier looking than this before he rolled in the snow, and animals with thick fur often choose to lie down in snow, especially in warm(ish) weather. His snow bath was sloping so as he jiggled about he was slowly "slip slidin' away".

Rain was pouring down outside, so I decided to pull out some vibrant acrylic paints. Dropping bits of color on a sheet of foil, I started tipping the foil from side to side. Watching the colors slide into each other almost made me forget to take a few pictures.
Fountain outside Terminal 3 at Copenhagen Airport. A nice idea on paper and inside the designer's head but completely ridiculous in practice. The minimalism is ruined by the necessity of having to put up these "slippery when wet" signs every 1.5 metres around the perimeter, due to tourists not noticing it and walking across it.
Nevermind that, it wasn't even working that day. A little blemish on the face of a long history of Danish Design.

I slipped up badly having this gorgeous red kite flew over me as the last shots I had taken was a bank vole in the dark with -2 comp and 12500 iso and forgot to change back to a sensible camera setting
Die schmale Stiegengasse Butter Slip in Kilkenny verbindet die High Street mit der tiefer liegenden St. Kieran's Street auf kurzem Wege. Butter Slip heisst die alte Gasse wohl zu recht, weil die Bodenplatten durch unzählige Tritte abgeschmirgelt und rutschig wurden, als seien sie mit Butter eingeschmiert worden. Vor Allem bei Nässe muss man da wohl ziemlich aufpassen. Deshalb wurden bei den Stiegen in der Gasse wohl auch Handläufe montiert, damit man sich im Falle des Ausrutschens oder besser schon vorher sicher aufrecht halten kann. Kurioser Name für eine kuriose Gasse.
The narrow Butter Slip alley in Kilkenny connects High Street with St. Kieran's Street below via a short route. Butter Slip is a fitting name for this old alley, as the paving stones have been worn smooth by countless footsteps and are now slippery, as if they had been smeared with butter. You have to be especially careful when it's wet. That's probably why handrails were installed on the steps in the alley, so that you can hold on securely if you slip, or better yet, before you slip. A curious name for a curious alley.

Hooded Merganser landing on thin ice.
1/6/2018.
I haven't gotten out much to shoot this winter, but on 1/6/2018 we were in the midst of an Arctic cold blast, and the Atlanta area lakes, especially the smaller ones were freezing over. Knowing there were more ducks about as the cold further north had pushed them south in search of open water I did some on-line research to locate target lakes around me of suitable size for some ducks, which would have substantial ice but likely wouldn't be completely frozen over. My hope was the ice would concentrate the ducks for me making photography simpler. Such was the case with this lake in Cherokee County.
This was taken on our first visit to this beach.
Usually I prefer to shoot early or late in the day when the light & colour are more special & I've posted one from here at sunset before.
However, I think the really blue icebergs look better in diffuse light - on this day the sky was very dark & dramatic.
The older & more stressed the glacial ice - the bluer the icebergs & these would have been very very old indeed, (& had a stressful existence probably crushed hard & bumping along the bottom of the glacier).
It had been snowing - you can see some snow on top of the iceberg although by now it was raining, which meant literally wiping the filters after every single shot, waiting for the wave then taking the cloth away & hoping that the filters would stay dry long enough to get the shot which was a bit of a bummer (but at least you know you're filters aren't dusty).
Needless to say we only got a few before packing up!
Quite liked the moody drama in this one which only served to highlight the intensity of the blues
If monochrome is your thing - just look away now or pretend that this is merely an illusion, & that the icebergs are in reality a humdrum shade of greyishness! ;)
Many Thanks to Everyone who took the trouble to view comment or fave :)
Another view of the slip at McCrae showing the other houses and large hole where the house had been!
"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence..."
John McGee
The comings and goings on the corner of Church Street and Shoreham High Street. 3 buses, cars passing and turning in and the nicely lit record shop helped create the image.

I read the news today, oh boy,
About a lucky man who made the grade,
And though the news was rather sad …
I’d love to turn you on”
Lennon & McCartney A Day in the Life.
I’ve seen a lot of photos in the news lately with “1.5° to Survive” written on people’s palms. Then this morning saw that 200 nations attending COP27 have agreed to start (yet another) fund to assist developing countries with adaptation to climate change; but the conference made no progress on cutting emissions. So I wrote “1.5°“ on my never-calloused, winter-dried fingertips, because the opportunity has slipped away. No surprise, sensible people have known for awhile, The Economist finally said so in plain English earlier this month:

Slip Sliding Away (8770)

Imagine walking carefully on a flat white valley floor completely aglow from the light of a full moon on a whisper-quiet evening. That is Racetrack Playa in Death Valley N.P., CA, far from anywhere, and utterly enchanting. For the longest time, none of us were sure these mysterious stones left these tracks while sliding across the parched desert floor. Although we know now, it's still magical.

I met up with my friend Lance Keimig (National Parks At Night) and a beautiful group of people in DVNP. We went out late nights to photograph the amazing sites. This was my last photo of the evening, as it was cold and others had retreated to the car or were packing up. I knew I didn't have enough time for star trails, so I set the camera to a shorter exposure. I ran around, illuminating the rock and the flat white ground with white and red light from my handheld flashlight while the tripod-mounted camera shutter remained open. Thanks, and feel free to share!

As it maneuvers through the dense thicket, its large hooves make minimal noise against the forest floor, displaying a remarkable agility for its size. Its senses are keen, ears swiveling to catch any rustle or snap of a twig, while its keen eyes scan the surroundings for any sign of danger or opportunity.
