Here is the first of my photos from the recent snowfall.
There is a hill/mountain near me from where one has an awesome view over the region. Getting up there was not easy because of all the snow, but it was worth it.
Right now it is raining heavily and the snow is melting fast, so all that remains from the beautiful snow covered landscape are memories and photographs…
Luckily winter is only just beginning and there will be a lot more snow to come…
Some people say it's exhilarating, some say they are totally nuts... 🥶😳
A New Years Day dip at Queensferry, the day peaked at 2° 😲 guessing the water wasn't any warmer 😄
Recently it has been so cold here that even the sea froze… with the very low winter-sun that added to a very special and magical coastal atmosphere that is still in my mind two weeks later.
A great way to start a cold winter day is to walk along the Pescara seafront listening to the latest episode of DjangoChat, hosted by William Vincent and Carlton Gibson, with guest Simon Willison 🌅🎧
The episode is long, the first part was very interesting, for the second I'll take another walk.🏖️🚶♂️
This #winter it has mostly been grey and dull with more than the odd spell of rain. So here's a reminder of what it should look like out there at this time of year.
Seconde fournée de photos de ma randonnée parce que je suis extrêmement satisfait du résultat qui rend vraiment honneur à ce que j'ai pu observer sur place.
Clairement ma plus belle randonnée hivernale de ce début d'année grâce à une météo exceptionnelle ! :yotsuba_pleased:
Yay! We have internet, but the radio station is off. Snowstorm isn't over yet. No busses, the roads still need to be cleared.
Let's see if and how I can keep my appointment in an hour 😬.
Meanwhile, a White-breasted Nuthatch taking a look at the world.
Taken a few winters ago during a photography workshop I was running here in the Scottish Highlands.
It was difficult conditions for photography as it would be bright sunshine one minute, then gloomy the next, and we had several very heavy blizzards which made focusing on the hare tricky.
But the hare was clearly well insulated, with fresh snow settling on it and not melting.
