Taken at Portage lake last night. The temperatures were around -8F degrees. I came across this section of the lake where the ice had fractured and piled up on the beach. I highlighted the foreground by using my LED Coleman latern on low setting to paint the ice and the sharp angles of the snow. Unfortunately I just missed the huge explosion of the northern lights in the background. There were oranges, pinks, and greens.

Il Sile a Santa Maria del Piave
Non v'è traccia di S. Maria di Piave nell'antica cartografia. Il generico toponimo di 'Piave Vecchia viene infatti ripetuto in due distinte località rivierasche della sinistra Sile-Piave Vecchia, nel tratto compreso tra Caposile e Jesolo.
Le stesse borgate fluviali, corrispondenti alle attuali S. Maria di Piave e Cà Nani, devono peraltro essere di antica origine ed è facile immaginare che prima dello sviluppo della viabilità di terraferma esse fossero strettamente legate al fiume che cinge la Laguna.
Ancora oggi, isolati come sono dal traffico automobilistico estivo della vicina Provinciale jesolana, esse costituiscono oasi di quiete che invitano alla sosta ed a una dimensione più umana del vivere. S. Maria di Piave, particolarmente, offre una realtà in cui ai silenzi fruscianti del Sile-Piave Vecchia si accosta un'atmosfera di domestica solitudine, scandita dal cinguettare dei passeri o dai richiami delle gallinelle d'acqua.
Luogo di sosta obbligata è qui il ponte pedonale che scavalca il Fiume a monte dell'abitato. Dalla passerella pedonale, alta sul fiume, si coglie infatti un suggestivo paesaggio agro-fluviale e vallivo.
Un colloquio con il pescatore di S. Maria, uno degli ultimi ad esercitare la pesca professionale nel basso Sile-Piave Vecchia, consentirà di conoscere le tecniche e gli strumenti di cattura del pesce di fiume e le stesse specie ittiche fluviali.
Anguille e cefali, ma anche tinche e lucci sono ancora numerosi nelle acque fresche, che fluiscono perennemente dai territori della Marca Trevigiana verso il mare.

Busy skies reflected in British Columbia's Muncho Lake.
Was pretty in color (in comments) but thought it made for a nice black and white as well.
Enjoy this first week of 2016!
The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Another from Monday's trip out west.
After leaving the Torridon area Steve (Stoates-Findhorn) and I headed for the Applecross Peninsula and stopped for a study of this old croft house.
These old places always make me wish I could have a short trip back in time to see how life was when it was occupied.

After 2 days of boring skies, I was treated to an awesome sky for the evening and morning of my last day. As I watched the clouds roiled and rolled into some fantastic shapes.
Undulatus asperatus (or alternately, asperatus) is a cloud formation, proposed in 2009 as a separate cloud classification by the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society. If successful it will be the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization. The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves
These clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds. Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming. The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity.

Creating some great captures was a cinch. I managed to get to several locations for multiple compositions during the display. I felt so lucky to have bagged this shot because I was supposed to be in Death Valley that day but because of unseen circumstances I was forced to shoot for 3 days in the same location, which is rare for me, I usually try to moved to a new location from day to day. As a result of my immobility I decided to skip all the arches and to focus on finding hidden compositions that maybe nobody else has seen before. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a Happy Easter weekend my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
ENG: A backyard view with many corners, edges and reflections in the middle of the Berlin district Mitte. I discovered this large backyard by chance while walking along the Spree river near the Friedrichstraße Structure suburban train station and was immediately thrilled by the sight of the architecture and the view of the sky.
Why "Am Zirkus"? Because that's the name of the street by the building today. ☻ The street was actually called Markthallenstraße when it was built in 1865, but it was quickly renamed. Because the market hall was an economic failure. In 1873, the "Markthallen-Circus" (later taken over by the Circus Renz) opened in the building, whereupon the street was renamed, first Am Circus, since 1903 in the current spelling. Nowadays, of course, the market hall is history and in the same place stands a new building since 2014 in which there is also a hotel.

GER: Ein Hinterhof Ausblick mit vielen Ecken, Kanten und Spiegelungen inmitten des Berliner Bezirks Mitte. Ich habe diesen großen Hinterhof durch Zufall entdeckt beim Spaziergang an der Spree nahe des S-Bahnhofs Friedrichstraße und war sofort begeistert von dem Anblick der Architektur und dem Ausblick in den Himmel.
Warum „Am Zirkus“? Weil die heutige Straße am Gebäude so heißt. ☻ Eigentlich hieß die Straße bei ihrer Erbauung 1865 mal Markthallenstraße. diese wurde aber schnell umbenannt. Da die Markthalle ein wirtschaftlicher Misserfolg war. 1873 eröffnete in dem Gebäude der „Markthallen-Circus“ (später vom Circus Renz übernommen), woraufhin die Straße umbenannt wurde, zunächst Am Circus, seit 1903 in der heutigen Schreibweise. Heutzutage ist die Markthalle natürlich Geschichte und an selbige stelle steht seit 2014 ein Neubau in dem sich auch ein Hotel befindet.
