This is the western slope of the Organ Needles, part of the Organ Mountains, all within the Organ Mountain-Desert Peaks National Monument in southern New Mexico, USA.
I have been outside gardening in Ct - which is a very different experience than gardening in Ca! - and not shooting birds so I'm going back...way back in my archives!
I thought this was interesting in that it was taken in similar conditions and was shot with the same camera body I use now, the 1dx, and the earlier version of the 100-400 in comparison with the new 100-400 in the previous post
Hoping all are well and enjoying the spring arrivals...birds, plants, etc!

One of the many architecturally amazing streets in Park Slope, Brooklyn as shot with my Olympus E-M1, Mark II.
This is an old shot from sometime ago that I recently saw in my archive and gave it some digital love.
Hmmmm? Digital Love.
Happy Wednesday

As we get higher the snow gets deeper. This shows the steepness of the hill we are climbing. Beyond can be seen Millstone Hill, also covered in snow.
Derbent is derived from modern Persian: دربند, translit. Darband, lit. 'Barred gate' (dar “gate” + band “bar,” lit., “barred gate”), referring to the adjacent pass.

“The Quebec College of Physicians & Surgeons proposed to extend Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to infants born with disabilities up to one year old!”
First they dehumanize the unborn and kill them, then they come after the born. The Nazi’s started with the disabled too.
Here is a government funded children’s activity book on assisted suicide:

Ezekiel 32:5-6 “I will strew your flesh upon the mountains and fill the valleys with your carcass. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.”
Nothing feels better than ending the year skiing in a white paradise!
Stay safe everybody and see you in 2022

Frankfort Mineral Springs waterfall near Pittsburgh, Was here about 3 weeks ago and now the icicles are longer & heavier.
The rock formations are exceptional and ice is apparent in more places. The temperature was about 55F. and some ice was starting to fall from above. The actual waterfall is in the middle of the picture. If you visit it is really slippery coming up the creek.
Plan de la Besurta, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
Ruta cuyo itinerario discurre en el entorno de las pistas de esquí nórdico de Llanos del Hospital en el Valle de Benasque. La ruta tiene su inicio en el Plan del Hospital atravesando en su recorrido bellos parajes como el Plan de Estan y el Plan de la Besurta para llegar finalmente hasta el espectacular Plan d´Aiguallut con magnificas vistas al pico Aneto. Se trata de recorrer una parte del conocido como Camino dels Aranesos que originalmente unía el Plan del Hospital con el Valle de Arán.
El recorrido se divide en tres tramos, un primer tramo muy corto y sencillo hasta el Plan de l'Estan, un segundo tramo tambien muy sencillo hasta la Besurta y un tramo final algo más exigente aunque accesible a cualquier senderista acostumbrado a la montaña hasta el Forau d´Aiguallut.
Route whose itinerary runs around the Nordic ski slopes of Llanos del Hospital in the Benasque Valley. The route begins in the Pllan del Hospital, passing through beautiful places such as the Plan de Estan and the Plan de la Besurta to finally reach the spectacular Plan d'Aiguallut with magnificent views of the Aneto peak. It involves walking through a part of what is known as the Camino dels Aranesos, which originally linked the Hospital Plan with the Aran Valley.
The route is divided into three sections, a first very short and easy section to Plan de l'Estan, a second section that is also very simple to Besurta and a final section that is somewhat more demanding although accessible to any hiker accustomed to the mountains until the Forau d'Aiguallut.
If someone is foolish enough in the next few years to start a nuclear conflict, we might have patches of road and buildings intact but no one left to live in them.
Not a great photo but the first Pac-slope sighting of the fall.

On the southeast end of Jökulsárlón, a proglacial lake in southeast Icleland, Icebergs that have been floating on the lake get stacked up as they try to flow out Jökulsa, the lake’s outlet to the sea. The icebergs come from the ice that calves off Breiðamerkurjökull into the lake. Breiðamerkurjökull is a large glacial tongue that extends from southern part of the Vatnajökull ice cap. The Vatnajökull ice field covers an area of 3,200 square miles (8,400 square km) with an average ice thickness of more than 3,000 feet (900 meters). Several volcanoes, some active, and other mountains lie beneath it. By both volume and area, this monster glacier is the largest in Iceland and second largest in Europe after the ice cap on Severny Island which is the northern island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in Russia. Most of Vatnajökull including the Breiðamerkurjökull lies in Vatnajökull National Park.
Breiðamerkurjökull is currently constantly retreating, breaking and melting, which means Jökulsárlón (The Iceberg Lagoon) continues to increase in size. It is less than a 100 years old, but is currently the deepest lake in Iceland.

As we descend lower back towards Glenshee after climbing Carn Aosda and The Cairnwell, we pass what would, in winter, be the nursery training slopes, bordered by fencing. In the distance the high Munro summits of Carn an Tuirc and Cairn of Claise can be seen. But this is it folks, until the next time I'll bid you adieu.
This trip sees me bagging 2 more Munro's. Carn Aosda, my 22nd Munro, stands at 917 meters (3008 feet), while The Cairnwell, my 23rd Munro, stands at 933 meters (3061 feet). They do both stand at the heart of the Glenshee Ski Development, so may be not a pretty or remote as some other Munro's.
