I guess the plans for Sunday swimming are off the table at the current temperatures. #Uckermark #coldswim

Dry leaves covered in frost in a forest.
Two persons standing on top of the water of a small lake. Apparently the water at the shore is frozen to hold the weight. Both people are wearing thick winter clothes. The right person is also wearing a scarf. The sky is clear and the beginning sunset turning the edge pink from blue already. The photo is taken from a very low angle.

Cinematic wide-format view of a wintry snow covered mountain massif with its highest peak (Piz Beverin, 2998m) on the right side. The mountain is illuminated by golden morning light, some of the rocks glowing bright orange. In front are still partially dense low hanging clouds (formerly fog banks), but dispersing quickly and some of them with a faint pink tone. Below and further in the front, the silhouette of dense forest, still completely in deep shade. Bright blue sky.

Geometry study (shadows are weird).
Back story: In some parts of Vancouver, if youโ€™re putting up a new building (typically condo/retail) you can get tax breaks or more square feet or some such bonus if you preserve the original facade. This place was torn down quite a while ago but the facade, propped up by the metal framework, remains. A policy misfire in this case because it was a really crappy brick frontage and would not be missed.

Right! After, frankly, way too much work, I once again have a garden gate which opens properly and easily both ways, and which closes and latches properly and easily. I don't love the galvanised steel gatepost, but it should not need to be replaced again in my lifetime.

My re-hung garden gate, open. Behind it, the short frosty turf of my meadows stretch away to the horizon; a few black cattle graze under a blue sky.

For today's #footpathFriday I chose this trail that I enjoyed this #autumn. I walked it to check whether I could bike it as well. -- Well, I met two bikers but it looks quite ... challenging. Well, not THIS part, but quite some other parts.

This image captures a picturesque hiking trail winding through a mountainous landscape on a clear, sunny day. The trail, made of dirt and small rocks, meanders through a lush, green forest filled with tall pine trees and various shrubs. The vibrant greenery contrasts beautifully with the rocky terrain, creating a sense of natural harmony. In the background, a majestic mountain peak rises against the bright blue sky, which is lightly dotted with a few fluffy clouds. The sunlight bathes the entiโ€ฆ

As @coreyspowell.bsky.social has written;
NASA is sending the OSIRIS-APEX mission to Apophis.
It is already in the sky and will arrive just after the 2029 flyby.
Trump and those with him tried to illegally shut down OSIRIS-APEX in 2025 May.
Members of Congress intervened to keep it going.

My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me ๐Ÿ˜Š
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.

A moment of joy and adventure is captured in this winter forest scene. A hiker stands on a snow-dusted trail, surrounded by tall evergreen trees and patches of snow. The hiker is dressed in outdoor gear, including a gray jacket and a blue hydration pack, ready for a day of exploration. The background features a mix of snow-covered ground and green foliage, creating a beautiful contrast of colors and textures. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting a soft glow and highlighting the peacโ€ฆ

Migrating geese

Photo. Sky nearing sunset, blue and gray at the top, shading to a yellowish cast toward the bottom. Treetops spread along the bottom edge, with distant, hazy foothills behind. Skeins of geese fly in typical V formation above the horizon. I was with a group looking at bald eagles that come down from Canada for the winter, and hang out around the Fossil Creek Reservoir and bird sanctuary. January 2026. When geese fly in their V formation, why is one leg always longer than the other? Because theโ€ฆ

Mallard making waves on a pond. Descanso Gardens, La Canada Flintridge, California, USA. December, 2025. OM System OM-1 M.Zuiko 90mm F3.5 Macro. #descansogardens #duck #mallard

Close-up of the head and neck of a duck on a pond. The duck is on the right side of the image, facing to the left. The duck is making a complicated pattern of waves on the pond that reflect blue, gold and green from the sky and the background. A single water drop from the duck's bill makes a circular ring of waves in the water.

Good evening! Just a daily mountain photo for you ;-) I took it on my hike last weekend.
At this point I thought that it might have been beneficial if I would also have brought gaiters, then I would have walked a bit more into the snow.
But it was still a great day.
the #video of the hike is here:

This image showcases a stunning winter landscape under a clear blue sky. The sun shines brightly, casting a warm glow over the snow-covered terrain. In the foreground, a blanket of pristine white snow covers the ground, with footprints marking a path through the winter wonderland. Evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, frame the scene and add a touch of green to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. The trees lead the eye toward a breathtaking view of a vast valley and a serene lakeโ€ฆ

I usually post in the evening today's post inthe morning for the 'Fotovorschlag' somehow broke my routine.
Anyways, I wanted to share this photo from my hike on sunday. It was my first winter-hike this season! Saturday was a great cloud inversion - which I missed - sunday greeted me (and QUITE some more hikers) with a plain blue sky.
I hope I can get out again on the weekend to test warmer socks.
Well - enjoy!

A stunning winter landscape unfolds under a clear, vibrant blue sky, capturing the pristine beauty of a snow-covered mountain slope. The untouched snow blankets the terrain, its smooth, white surface glistening in the bright sunlight. Footprints lead up the slope, creating a sense of adventure and exploration as they wind their way toward the summit. At the top of the slope, a small, rustic cabin nestles comfortably among the snow-laden trees, its presence adding a touch of warmth and cozinessโ€ฆ

Good morning from Harlem
#Photography #GoodMorning #Sunrise #NYC

Looking through an arched window at the moment of sunrise the cloudless sky fades from pale yellow at the horizon to dusty blue above. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance. The window is grimy on the bottom.

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.

This photo is from a recent walk near #Murnau . I also blogged about it here:

A tranquil winter landscape unfolds under a soft, pale blue sky, where a gentle blanket of snow transforms the scene into a serene wonderland. The undulating terrain is crisscrossed by a winding, snow-dusted road, guiding the eye through the quiet beauty of the season. On either side, skeletal trees stand tall, their bare branches dusted with frost, while dense clusters of evergreens add touches of deep green to the otherwise monochrome palette. A frozen meadow stretches out, its surface glistโ€ฆ

So close, yet still so far...

I managed to get out and I can confirm snow and ice on forest roads.
But it was fine. It all was a bit more technically challenging than usual.
Maybe I've got to clean my bike tomorrow.

I was curious which photo might show up if I sort my Catalogue by my rating. Yet there are still some unprocessed folders.

This breathtaking winter landscape captures a serene lakeside scene, bathed in the soft glow of early morning light. The calm, reflective waters of the lake stretch out toward the horizon, where majestic, snow-dusted mountains rise against the clear blue sky.

We did some cycling again. Very slow, but under clear blue sky! This time I tested recording when the camera was mounted on my new chest strap.
I think I like it! I remember when I once said that I'd feel stupid wearing such a chest strap with the camera mounted, but - to be honest: I don't care any more.
The result seems to be good. If I still like it in summer when I'm sweating? I don't know. But that's a problem for in a couple of months.
