Today i visited Linden Lab's "Winter Wonderland" where there are various winter activities and a small cute old fashioned village called "Village of Lights". Since it's a Tuesday afternoon between Christmas and New Year, there were pretty empty of people here and i was almost alone, which was really just nice.

Driving the super jeeps in the Icelandic highlands in the middle of the winter, and in the middle of nowhere.
This image taken in my back yard playground of the Canadian Rockies represents another early winter moment. Brief, although not quite as short lived compared to the conditions in my previous shot "From the Mists". This section of the Rockies is continually much cooler then the surrounding areas throughout the year, mainly due to the enormous glacier which rests on top of the peaks. Even in the middle of summer you can constantly feel cold air pouring off the mountains throughout the day. Because of this fact, this area is the first to freeze and be covered with snow. This winter all of the surrounding glacial ponds and streams were turned into a featureless white blanket within 3 days of our first big snow, making for a limited amount of time available to capture interesting images. Just as the creeping white of winter started closing in on the surrounding landscape, the intense cold formed many beautiful ice sculptures lining the water's edge. Luckily our timing here was perfect on this -30 celsius late afternoon.
What makes this image just a little more interesting to me is that the main formation pictured here is not a stand alone mountain at all. It is actually the remaining stone resting between 2 huge glacier tongues which carved out it's shape. Over the course of 2014 I spent over 2 weeks camping in this area, and not once did I ever point my camera in this direction prior to this outing. The only thing that made this scene shootable is how the towering walls of stone and ice behind have been shrouded in atmospheric light and cloud, fully isolating this formation. In photography sometimes all the preparation and scouting in the world will be thrown out the window when the time comes to capture a final image. This happens more often then not during winter photography if I am perfectly honest, but that is half the fun of it!
Anyways, thank you all for viewing and reading. Now that I am back home I am looking forward to releasing more fresh images, many featuring more unique formations of the cold!
We went up to Glencoe to take some photos, we knew it'd be cold but we didn't realise it'd be -10 degrees!!! It was absolutely baltic! Not the best conditions for photography!!
Looking across the water of Lochan na h-Achlaise to mountains beyond. This one of the first things you see as you come up the road towards Glen Coe. It's a good introduction to Rannoch Moor and coupled with Loch Ba on the other side of the road, they are great locations to photograph.
This is a hydrangea bush called Chantilly Lace. It is very delicate in the summer when it is blooming. Here is a link to a summer view: www.flickr.com/photos/basimmons/3904909461/
Now this is whats left of it in the winter with snow all around. I like how it holds on to it's little petals all winter.
Cold sunlight in winter.

You can always rely on the daffodils to cheer up the winter dullness. They start blooming from mid December right through to April/May.
Winter Dragon
Definitely had a lot of fun with this one! I saw Jamie as this fierce dragon lady standing on the frozen lake, embellished with fire elements. I painted the red colors into the snowscape and resulted in this rendering.

Winter is one of my favorite seasons , despite the lack of colours , it offers unique situations and conditions as this one during an heavy snowfall. I love snow and shooting while is snowing .
Here the cristallized snow upon the branches of this beech tree reminds me the blossoms you can find in spring , just one shot and this tree was covered by the sorrounding clouds.
Thanks all for your visits and comments

in New Zealand, The winter solstice is the solstice that occurs in winter, course what a damn statement that is... It is the time at which the sun appears at noon at its lowest altitude above the horizon and we just went through a bit of mayhem.
wishing you ALL a wonderful weekend, don't sweat the small stuff..I wont sweat at all.

Winter bucket
Overnight, in the bucket,
the cement-marked, grime-stained black bucket
catching shed roof rain,
a magical garden has grown, a frosty forest
sending feathered fingers reaching down from the rim,
hugging the sides where the water is coldest.
The ice is fragile, melting almost instantly
even in the shade on this winter morning,
takes on weird and wondrous forms,
the edges sharp and crisp,
catching colour from its surroundings,
reflecting the low solsticial sun.
Here are spruce tree look-alikes, there jagged icicles,
with frilled geometric shapes, and ridge after ridge
of sculptured landscapes, Antarctica in miniature,
in mauves and jade and indigo.
Minutes later, the blades are blunted, the ice invisibly
melting, the fleeting magic over.
I clear broken shards from the bucket surface,
my hands stinging painfully from the cold,
and await tomorrow’s jewelled hoard.
