Avec plus de 200 jours de vent par an en moyenne, le Ventoux est le pré carré d'Éole en France. Ses bises incessantes se posent sans relâche sur les pentes du Géant depuis l'Antiquité. Lorsque la neige pointe le bout de son nez, elle est immédiatement sculptée par la fougue des embrassades du Régisseur, pour notre plus grand bonheur...
Walking by the photographer, a red fox takes a look. This beautiful fox was on the tundra of Prudhoe Bay Alaska. After walking by, the fox found a snowdrift and took an afternoon nap.
This is a photo of light and shadow on a wind-sculpted snowdrift. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The density of detail is best seen full screen.
We had an amazing amount of snow fall in the last couple of days, I think over 15cm last night alone which has made everything blindingly white! I've always loved how during those big snowstorms the snow builds up on the bases of the trees, drifting upwards and covering the rough bark with delicate and soft white. I wonder how cold it must be to be a tree sometimes.
There are certain moments in self-portraiture where you feel that if someone were to suddenly walk up to you, there would be no other explination to what you're doing than to explain the photo you're creating, this was one of those times...half of my body buried underneath the snow, my winter jacket, mittens and scarf thrown about behind the camera...I'm glad nobody walked by!

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Snow has been on the ground for most of November, which is different than the last few years. There was even more snow outside of town along the Hidden Hoot Trail.
Back in February, after 4 days of snow and NE winds causing almost blizzard conditions, we finally got a sunny day with nice blue sky - although the wind was still blowing the snow into higher drifts.
This drift, which I think might be 20 feet high, is the highest part of the drift which sits across our driveway, between the house and the road. Here I'm looking towards the road. (17-02-07-6488)
This morning on the way back to the city I turned down one of my favourite country lanes. It was completely blocked by huge snowdrifts - just like in the good old days. When we were kids, we would be so happy when the snowplows gave up on the back roads near my parents' country place - allowing us to use them as snowmobile trails

our daughters cat when he was a ktiten ..
How neatly a cat sleeps,
sleeps with its paws and its posture,
sleeps with its wicked claws,
and with its unfeeling blood,
sleeps with all the rings-
a series of burnt circles-
which have formed the odd geology
of its sand-colored tail.
I should like to sleep like a cat,
with all the fur of time,
with a tongue rough as flint,
with the dry sex of fire;
and after speaking to no one,
stretch myself over the world,
over roofs and landscapes,
with a passionate desire
to hunt the rats in my dreams.
I have seen how the cat asleep
would undulate, how the night
flowed through it like dark water;
and at times, it was going to fall
or possibly plunge into
the bare deserted snowdrifts.
Sometimes it grew so much in sleep
like a tiger's great-grandfather,
and would leap in the darkness over
rooftops, clouds and volcanoes.
Sleep, sleep cat of the night,
with episcopal ceremony
and your stone-carved moustache.
Take care of all our dreams;
control the obscurity
of our slumbering prowess
with your relentless heart
and the great ruff of your tail.

Winter landscape on the leeward side of Round Bald where the snow has begun to accumulate in windsculpted drifts.
Went out to shoot the snow in the wider landscape and ended up fascinated by the shapes and textures in the snowdrifts.
this is all that remains after the storm today of my 4 foot chain link fence.5-8 inches expected next week.
One of the must shoot locations on my spring bucket list.

Brilliant sunrise light illuminates fresh snow at Oregon's Crater Lake.
This is an image I've been waiting years to make. Since first arriving in Oregon a few years back, Crater Lake has been one of my favorite locations, and I've gotten to know it quite well through my many visits - so I knew exactly what I was looking for. When I saw two new feet of snow in the forecast, I adjusted my plans to be here and shoot the day after. For Crater Lake, two feet is a laughable amount, given that it typically receives closer to 50 feet of snowfall per year - but it was enough to make it appealing in an otherwise dismal winter for snow levels here in the Pacific Northwest.
Winter here is beautiful, but it presents its challenges: one can only drive as far as Rim Village on the south rim, and all the best spots that allow one to really incorporate Wizard Island are found on the west rim. This means snowshoeing for miles is a necessity. This wouldn't be such a huge deal, except the best light is at sunrise - meaning you're either camping overnight in the snow, or getting up at 4am.
I chose the latter option, and for the entire second half of the two-hour trek, the sky was already burning pink and red. This motivated me to get the hike done quicker, and I arrived at the end of the red stages of sunrise, as the light started to become orange. Given that the snowpack was 10+ feet lower than it should have been this time of year, my planned compositions weren't 100% ideal, since it was tougher to get above the trees - but I think I still made it work. I always get asked why I don't include the rest of the lake on the left in shots from this area - well, for one, it's rather empty; two, there's a rock wall and some fairly unappealing trees just out of frame to the left; and three, I'd be unable to nail down the composition in-camera (I tend to avoid panos/stitches for this reason).
I chose this particular spot/composition because of the clear views of Mount Scott and Garfield Peak, the elevation above (and proximity to) Wizard Island, the foreground snowdrifts, and the space to allow the trees to cast shadows on the snow. This is the closest spot that I knew would satisfy these requirements, and it was 6 miles round trip. I'm not one to regale my audience with exaggerated tales of the difficulty involved in getting a shot, but 6 miles snowshoeing with frequent elevation change feels more like 15 miles backpacking in the summer - and I had to do it on 2 hours of sleep. Worth the nausea and soreness the next day!
A bit of tech info: this is mostly a single exposure, with some of the brightest highlights around the sun recovered from a darker bracketed exposure. The sunstar/flare is natural - I've found shooting Nikon's newer lenses at f/11 to f/16 will often produce more interesting results than the "traditional" f/22 sunstar.
