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.
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?
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.
La nostra atmosfera è l'unico luogo noto, finora, nel quale possiamo vivere.
Ci offre l'ossigeno per respirare, ci protegge dai raggi ultravioletti del sole che altrimenti ci distruggerebbero. Raccoglie l'energia del sole per muovere le nuvole e portare le piogge e, se possibile, per aiutarci a trasformare il vento in energia.
Tutto questo accade mentre non ci pensiamo... eppure, insieme al mare, è il luogo che stiamo inquinando di più, come se non servisse a nulla.

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.

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.

“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)
Taken in the Kallahti nature reserve in Helsinki on the Gulf of Finland coast in January. Now it looks like this is the iciest coastal landscape here this winter. Although the forecast promises a little frost for the last few days of the week, when the situation may be a little better. Let's hope the camera will have work to do then (A7R6995-1e).

Multiculturalism here is what politicians boast about on independence day and at pre-election speeches. Its what makes this country strong, gives it its diversity, and makes us who we are. Its our heritage as a nation. Our pride. Truth is, multiculturalism cuts both ways. Its the reason for our fears, remorse, resentment, spite and estrangement from each other. While some would share the same space and immerse in friendly banter others scrawl in blood a fundamentalist prophecy yet to be delivered. This is my Malaysia. That which promises to save us may be the death of us all.

Thanks for your interest
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice

This was the 2nd song that came up in iTunes. That's how I came up with the "Lockdown Song"
Went to the beach in Enoshima with some fellow photogs. This group beside our place gave us the warmest welcome!
This is the Patio broom, but it looks more like a poolside broom, poor thing.
