Just a hut under a tree in the mist ...
I saw this when I was walking back from a location scouting. When I was back at the car, I turned around - already ready to drive away when I noticed this gnarly tree in the field.
The fog was just light enough to create an interesting mood I think.

A solitary tree stands resolute in a world softened by mist, its bare branches reaching upward like skeletal fingers against the muted sky. The landscape is wrapped in a quiet, ethereal haze, blurring the horizon into a seamless blend of earth and sky. Shades of gray dominate the scene—pale silver where the light struggles through the overcast clouds, deeper charcoal along the shadowed ground—creating a mood both melancholic and peaceful.

The open field stretches endlessly, its surface damp an…

A quiet winter woodland unfolds in soft shades of gray and muted silver, where bare branches stretch like delicate lace against a pale, overcast sky. The forest stands in hushed stillness, its skeletal trees stripped of leaves, their intricate patterns creating a natural tapestry of lines and shadows. A gentle mist lingers between the trunks, blurring the distance and lending the scene an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality.

The ground is a patchwork of frosty grass and fallen twigs, crunching …

Grid managers have instructed the country’s largest electricity providers to postpone routine maintenance on power plants and lines
to ensure that those resources are available during and after the storm.
Heavy snow and freezing rain weigh down tree branches and power lines, causing failures that can cripple energy systems.
Frigid cold also drives up electricity demand as heating appliances require more energy and run longer

Storm Poses Big Threats to Power Grids Across U.S.
Managers of electric grids say freezing temperatures and ice and snow could lead to power outages in many places, potentially leaving millions in the dark.

Anyways, I hope you like it and don't see it as .. intimidating/strange as the one with the stranger in it ;)

A misty winter morning envelops this serene landscape, where a group of tall, leafless trees stands majestically on a gentle hillside. The trees, their bare branches reaching upward, create a striking silhouette against the foggy backdrop. The mist, thick and ethereal, softens the outlines of the trees and the rolling hills beyond, adding a sense of mystery and tranquility to the scene.

The ground is lightly dusted with snow, its white blanket contrasting with the earthy tones of the hillside.…

Bright Fractional Single and Multi-Solitons in a Prototypical Nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger Paradigm: Existence, Stability and Dynamics
Robert J. Decker, A. Demirkaya, T. J. Alexander, P. G. Kevrekidis

arXiv:2602.17175v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the present work we explore features of single and pairs of solitary waves in a fractional variant of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation. Motivated by the recent experimental realization of arbitrary fractional exponents, upon quantifying the tail properties of such coherent structures, we detail their destabilization when the fractional exponent $\alpha$ acquires values $\alpha<1$ and showcase how the relevant destabilization is associated with collapse type phenomena. We then turn to in- and out-of-phase pairs of such waveforms and illustrate how they generically exist for arbitrary $\alpha$ when we cross the harmonic limit, i.e., for $\alpha>2$. Importantly, we use the parameter $\alpha$ as a ``bifurcation parameter'' in order to connect the harmonic ($\alpha=2$) and biharmonic ($\alpha=4$) limits. Remarkably, not only do we retrieve the instability of all solitonic pairs in the biharmonic case, but showcase a stabilization feature of particular branches of such multipulses that is {\it unique} to the fractional case and does not arise -- to our knowledge -- for integer multi-pulse settings. We explain systematically this stabilization via spectral analysis and expand upon the implications of our results for the potential observability of fractional multipulse solitary waves.

A winter scene. In the foreground is a white, wooden fence dotted with snow. Behind it, the frame is dominated by a tree, naked branches reaching towards the sky. In the background is a golden glow in the sky, signifying the arrival of the sun. Above that, the few clouds are lit in shades of pink and purple.

A serene winter morning unfolds in this tranquil countryside scene, where a light frost delicately coats the landscape. Tall, leafless trees stand in a row along the edge of a gentle hill, their branches dusted with a thin layer of frost, creating a beautiful contrast against the pale winter sky. The trees, with their intricate network of branches, add a sense of depth and texture to the scene.

The hill slopes gently downward, covered in a patchwork of frost-kissed grass and earthy tones, hint…

Did you clone a large amount of git repos? Is ~/workspace/ a giant mess? Need to declutter?
If a remote exists and all branches have been pushed (or merged), and you trust the git host to stay up, maybe we don't need to keep the local copy.
Or if there's local branch refs for commits that have never been pushed, maybe they should be.

Hello Stranger?
I took this photo recently on a hike on one of my local hills when I turned around and saw a stranger walking there.
I hardly ever have people in my photos, because I don't WANT people there. But this scene was so different.
The fog was just thick enough to see the person, yet I didn't feel like the person was "near". It all just felt so distant.

A lone hiker ventures through a mystical winter landscape, where bare, gnarled trees stand like ancient sentinels in a veil of soft, drifting fog. The muted gray sky blends seamlessly with the mist, casting an ethereal glow over the frost-kissed meadow. Delicate snowflakes dust the ground, adding a quiet stillness to the scene. The skeletal branches of the towering trees create intricate silhouettes, their twisted forms adding a touch of wild beauty to the serene yet slightly mysterious atmosph…

After playing it cool in this nearby tree, the hawk tried diving into the bush (ouch!), landing & coming up from underneath, but could not reach nor flush out its prey.
It then landed on the railing & became aware of us gaping at it from our front window. Rightfully spooked, it flew …

So instead, some close-up detail shots of ice structures at the same waterfall from exactly 364 morning ago. Enjoy!

I'm a little behind with posting my recent photos. but here you see one of my favourite lokal "afternoon hills".
This is one of the RARE hills, where I often walk without camera. But that day the clouds were so low that I just brought it - hoping for some exceptional shots... Exceptional for the location - not wordlwide exceptional ;-)
Enjoy!

A serene winter landscape unfolds in this tranquil scene, where a light dusting of snow blankets the ground, creating a peaceful and almost magical atmosphere. A winding path, partially covered in snow, leads the eye through the image, inviting exploration. The path is bordered by tall, dark evergreens and bare deciduous trees, their branches reaching upward into the misty, overcast sky.

The trees on the left side of the path are lush and dense, their dark silhouettes contrasting sharply with …

Warm late‑afternoon sunlight casts long shadows, creating a contrast between the traditional lantern and the contemporary urban setting.

My contribution to #footpathFriday , just fresh from the press ;-)

This black-and-white image captures a serene and somewhat mysterious winter scene. A light layer of snow covers a hilly path, with tire or foot tracks leading up the slope, creating a sense of movement and direction. The path is flanked by leafless trees and evergreens, their branches dusted with snow.

The fog is thick, enveloping the landscape and creating a soft, muted atmosphere. The fog obscures the background, adding a sense of depth and mystery to the scene. The overall mood is calm and …

A black-and-white photo of a tiled wall with a grid pattern. On the left, a dense bundle of thin branches leans against the wall, some forming a triangular wire structure. In the top right corner, more branches cast intricate shadows across the tiles. The shadows create a layered, abstract texture. At the bottom right, partially visible objects—possibly paper or fabric—add subtle contrast. The overall composition emphasizes geometry, texture, and the interplay of…

When I came back the same route, I saw a chamois crossing from left to right. Unfortunately…
