Even Popular Cove on Watson Lake fell victim to the overnight cold as it displayed a layer of Thin Ice this morning at sunrise.
On thin ice

im going to school tonight but im ready to jump in the car and drive of cause the weather is finally getting better and the aurora activity is pretty good
Night thinning. Between heavy rain episodes last night. Orion constellation and Sirius star very well visible regarding our peri urban light pollution
We spotted this photogenic crack after a mad dash around the lake - the colour on the ice and in the water was divine.
Location: Northern Peninsular Malaysia
One of the coolest & colorful trapdoor from Malaysia. Liphistiidae are tube-dwelling spiders that construct rudimentary trap-doors. The burrow entrance is sealed off with a thin door made of soil and moss. The door consists of silk trip-lines (see pic) radiating away from the burrow entrance. Once a prey accidentally brushes against these trip-lines, the trapdoor inside the burrow will be alerted (dinner is ready). Adult males sometimes wander in search of females while females rarely leave their burrows.
There three species of giant-size trapdoors in Malaysia i.e., Liphistius malayanus, Liphistius murphyorum and Liphistius desultor. All Malaysian trapdoor spiders are protected by local law. However, there are a few other trapdoors that are cave dwelling for example Liphistius batuensis, and L.kanthanensis.
Distribution: Liphistius, the sole genus in the subfamily Liphistiinae, is found only in Southeast Asia (Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sumatra).
One of the highlights during our recent herp walk.
Looking at the trail ahead leading to Mt. Trishul from Kalu Vinayak located at an astounding altitude of 14200 Ft which is also known as The door to Roopkund. This trail leads to Bhagwa Basa and from there on the final ascent to Roopkund begins. The journey just got tougher :)

The driver of Chinese JS 8190 thins the lubricating oil for his 2-8-0. The sub zero temperatures in the Sandouling area of North West China were turning the oil into a grease which had to be thinned before it could be used to top up the oil wells of this fine locomotive.
This is a scene which is now confined to the history books as I am informed the use of these steam locos has ceased.
“God is working to raise your intellect and will to the highest perfection of supernatural activity in Union with His Holy Spirit. By pouring His Wisdom into your soul, He is accomplishing the greatest work of His love, forming the perfect likeness of Christ , His incarnate Word, in you, and perfecting His church through everything that you allow Him to perform by the agency of your free will transformed and elevated in Him. Praise and glorify God, you have tasted the first fruits of this marvelous grace, and pray to Him to continue His great work in your soul. Withdraw yourself from all care; trust not in yourself but in Him; do not be anxious or solicitous to perform great works for Him until He leads you Himself, by obedience and love and the events which His providence directs, to undertake the works He has planned for you and by which He will use you to communicate the fire of His love to other men.” - Thomas Merton from The Inner Experience (p. 103)
Thin ice cracked over stones. Apparently, the winter has not been remarkably cold since the ice is so fragile. But on the other hand, how the ice cover was formed? Anybody knows?
I like snow, ice, cold. I hope that this winter offers a lot of all of these. It's time. Gray weather has already become oppressive. Only in really early hours it is possible to sense the cold season coming closer.
There's a cloud but the water remains calm. Reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass, even out it's a precious thing to bear.
And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air.
Yes, I know she's reached my heart, in thin air.
It's not in my past to presume. Love can keep on moving in both directions
How to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on t o g e t h e r.
This was taken at sunrise on a January morning in Yosemite Valley. Ice was forming on the edge of the Merced River at the location known by photographers as Tahiti Beach. The gold color is a reflection of warm morning sunlight on the face of El Capitan. I liked the interplay of the golden fractal patterns of the thin ice with the blue water just underneath, which created a cool abstract.
This is a tight crop of a close-range shot taken at 173mm, the crop probably spanning a few inches in width.
This is the Patio broom, but it looks more like a poolside broom, poor thing.
We're Here, sweeping it all under the carpet.
Hand-held manually focused macro (super-wobblo-mode). Two layer composite in Photoshop, flattened, posterized, saturation boosted. HSS! ;-)

Same old location I always shoot. The colors aren't as nice as yesterday's shot, but I liked the river of ice snaking away into the distance in this one.
