Way to the Beach of Julianadorp on a cold January afternoon, Noord Holland, The Netherlands

Aker Brygge on a cloudy December afternoon

Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock

The sun was rushing off to bed

Where pillowed clouds received it

As it sank to rest.

Five seagulls following the light

Pursued the fading glory in the west,

White arrows in the darkening sky

Following the sun.

Separate and solitary

A single bird made haste

In purposeful pursuit

Fleeing the darkness.

He soared and swooped from side to side,

Powerful, carefree flight

Until six birds vanished

In the Winter sunset.

Beautiful sim! Go visit Fris'Land :)

Winter in Provence

It's winter, but without snow, just a few degrees below zero. Enough to get a bit of frost. Temporally ice art, as soon as the sun touches it, it's gone.........

Finally, the winter is here.... but no snow, just frost, so the waterdrops are frozen now ;-))

Walking among snow-covered trees was magical. I was out in the forests a couple of times before all the snow melted and took a lot of photos.

Trees in winter

With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:

1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.

2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.

3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.

I found the trees without obvious problems :)
