Please excuse the imperfections - noisy long exposure hand held through a dirty window, off a moving ship, quick and dirty fix on a netbook - won't really know what it looks like until getting home. But I like it - North of the Arctic Circle, sunset glow still on the horizon, a moving experience...

On our way back South towards the Arctic Circle. All the views again from a different perspective. This is from earlier in the voyage, in the crisp Northern air.

Another shot from yesterday's light show on my Norwegian trip.

Yesterday, on a cruise up the West Coast of Norway, I saw a wonderful sunset, including a phenomenon I've never seen before - snow blowing off the mountain being lit up like a corona by the setting sun!

It was -21 C when I took this a few years ago at Wedge Pond. My batteries failed due to leaving the gear in the boot (trunk) and I had to warm them under my arm for several minutes to revive them. Luckily I made it just in time for the first glow. We had a great day up at the lakes despite the...

Another one from the waterfall area at the top of Glen Etive, overlooked by The Buachaille (The Shepherd) of Etive. The storm has passed.

Another Kruger Park taxi in operation!

The peak, Stob Dearg, is an iconic view in the Scottish Highlands. One hour and 50 minutes drive from Glasgow City centre, it is the main peak of the Buachaille Etive Mor. Translated as "the Shepherd of Etive", it stands sentinel, in it's characteristic winter moorland colours, over fabulous...

Feeling the Blues at the end of the road, on a winter's afternoon on the East side of Loch Lomond.

A fine looking Waterbuck - not cutting it with the locals!

A couple of years ago in the Caribbean (hence the water). Went there for some winter sunshine in February; and we decided to look for a sunshine holiday every February to escape the cold here - this year's version? A cruise up the coast of Norway into the Arctic as far as the Russian border o_O...

Off the Columbia Icefields Highway Near Jasper - Athabasca Falls, in a very cold winter! "You who thundered so cheerfully, You clear, untamed river, How quiet you have become, Give no word of farewell." (Schubert: Winterreise - No7 'Auf dem Fluss')

Outside Jasper township, Canadian Rockies, the corps de ballet limber up on the cold stage, awaiting the principle danseuse!

A memorable morning in the Olympic Penninsula! Happy New Year!

Compliments of the season.......a Christmas Card to y'all (from Kananaskis River):-

Shot from the car on a winter trip to Kananaskis - one of my favourite areas in the Canadian Rockies. In 2006 it was a good quieter than it is now. Even today, very different from driving the Banff-Jasper highway!

In a little piece of rain forest, just North East of Forks, alongside the Calawah River.

Just before arriving at Loch Tay, underneath Ben Lawers in the Highlands, you pass through the Village of Killin. The falls are more a series of rapids, which can be extremely dramatic and fast flowing in wet years - there are a lot of those in Scotland!

Showing his well-lived-in frame!

Having been involved in a nightmare of the computer variety for some time, solved eventually by dismissing an ad-blocker :doh: , I return with an image from Page, Arizona; in a thunderstorm as the light returned:-
