I was focused more on remembering Picasso's animals than on which animals play nicely together... For the record that snake definitely not staring hungrily at the squirrel. All these animals are friends!

Me: Oh please, it's the photo challenge, it's about you this week.
Wind: I'm sorry. I've been blowing all this snow to you the last two days, I need to re-hale a little.
Me: Just a little, maybe?
Wind: Hey look what's that?

An upright shot of a tree with snow on its branches. A large cloud of powdery snow is falling straight down from the tree to a small stream that meanders between two fields towards the camera. The surrounding area is covered in snow, the sun is shining on the snow from the right, but cannot be seen. In the background are some houses with quite a lot of snow on their roofs.

Kynance Zodiac
Last night I ventured to Kynance Cove in search of a glimpse of Zodiacal Light.

Zodiacal light is best seen whilst close to the equinox and without a moon in the sky. It's also only visible for a couple of hours after dusk so I had to get out early for once!

Zodiacal Light is caused by millions of tiny particles in the plane of Earth's solar system. The solar system was born more than 4.5 billion years ago as a rotating cloud of gas and dust surrounded the new sun. This cloud coalesced into the objects now known as planets and asteroids, but some of the original dust was left behind...

So discoveries like this help make clear how diverse Dinosaurs, and other extinct life, really were.

#ownwork #photography #fotografie #foto #photo #Natur #nature #tür #door #schilf #reeds #art #postprocessed #humanwork #Handwerk #craft

Das Bild zeigt eine Tür aus angerosteten Stahl, in die ein kunstvolles Muster aus mehreren  Schilfpflanzen geschnitten wurde, das durch den durchscheinenden Schnee hinter der Tür einen viel besseren Kontrast (wie ein Scherenschnitt) zeigt, als zu  jeder anderen Jahreszeit möglich.

The picture shows a door made of rusted steel, in which an artistic pattern of several reeds has been cut, which shows a much better contrast (like a silhouette) through the translucent snow behind the door than is possible at any other time of year.

Anyone have any idea what this titmouse is up to?

It's Day 3 of my self-imposed Winter Photo Advent Calendar (follow #WPAC2023 hashtag if you're interested). This photo is from my first winter ever in Canada. Lake Erie was frozen over and you could walk really far on the lake if you were brave. It was quite a sight.

The other day, we had amazing auroras up here. And when the moon rose, it created surreal scenarios by lighting up the landscape but not quite hiding the auroras. All in all, a magnificent display by nature.

#aurora #LivingInTheNorth #nature #Alt4You

A snow covered landscape at night. The vantage point is downhill from two wooden houses in front of a forest. Red, light blue, green auroras are playing behind the treeline, with intense colors behind the trees. The colors echo out on the dark-blue background of the sky, creating a haze of red and green.
A frozen lake with a pristine snow cover. In the bottom, the shadow of the photographer. At the end of the lake is a hill covered with spruces, above it the sky is a pale blue. Green wisps of aurora light seem to be rising from behind the hill.
A snow covered landscape at night. The vantage point is downhill from two wooden houses in front of a forest. Right by the treeline, the snow and trees are lit by a warm light coming from a fire in a barrel. The rest is dark, except for the sky which has vertical streaks of green and red forming band that curves across the star dotted background.

Agate Bridge

Photograph taken in July 2018 at Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.

#Nature #Landscape #Travel #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #TravelPhotography #Photography

Photograph looking out over a dry landscape that’s all beige and gray with dark green accents. The scene is from one end of a petrified log, called Agate Bridge, that leads away near center frame, a few scrubby bushes on one side and a patch of denser brush lower on the other side where water occasionally collects in the small ditch beneath the former log. The rest of the land is a pale, sandy color made of rock, shallow dirt, and a sparse spread of more scrubby bushes, all under a stormy sky filled with patchy gray clouds and a dark rainstorm feeding the land off in the distance.

This swamp crab is endemic to Singapore and seldom seen. It is usually only found in that swamp forest.

Gray sands atop black sands make for dramatic streaks when the ocean waves recede. Rocks on the sand cause the black streaks to take on strange patterns as the water pulls away the sand.

When I am at the ocean, as much as I enjoy the sea itself, I revel in watching the clouds overhead. Just as there is a great expanse of water, so also is there a magnificent display of sky, and especially before or after a storm, the clouds are splendid in their moodiness, broodiness, and drama.

I'm not a film photography purist, I do use my digital camera for things like: event photography and bird photography. Nobody has the time or money to have thousands of shots of those things on film.

It helps, also, to have a digital camera you don't hate. Personally I never loved my Canon DSLRs in the past; but really enjoy my Nikons.

Here's a photo of a banana slug from Pacifica.

I always have a small film camera for a 'B roll', tho.

Maybe it's because I grew up in small towns and country settings that I prefer to avoid crowds. When I travel to well known spots, like Zion National Park, I enjoy the challenge of finding the isolated, generally undiscovered landscapes that are just as beautiful, or more, than the areas where everyone is flocking.
