We are in the middle of winter here. Tenperatures are hovering around 0°C, but we have had hardly any snow or rain. Yet this rose is still blooming in our "yard", which is in the midst of the city and surrounded by tall buildings.

Nicely composed against the windows, with the subtle colours adding a delicate feel.

A Seat With A View

For this shot I'm sat on the seat, but here's the view looking across High Bullough reservoir, another one that seems to have been allowed to get somewhat low.

Into The Shadows

There's an excuse for a path running along the eastern side of High Bullough reservoir and as I made my way along it, trying not to trip up and launch myself into the reservoir, I was facing towards the sun and the sun was not only putting down some strong shadows, but backlighting the moss in a way I was quite enjoying.

Backlit Branches

I quite liked the way the mass of branches behind this tree were practically glowing with the backlight from the sun.

The backlighting in these last three is beautiful, especially the Seat with a View, where the twigs make a glistening veil.

Anglezarke Woods

I took a couple of short evening walks on the moors earlier in the week as, at this time of year, I now have around 90 minutes between finishing work and sunset. Unfortunately on both occasions, the sky was dull and overcast (double whammy), which pretty much summed up the pictures I ended up with, one set with the Z8, the other with the GFX100S, both sets looked equally gloomy. So a compilation of these was on the cards for this week's offering.

However, this morning (Saturday) the strangest of things caught my eye, a peculiar ball of fire in this sky. A strange sight to behold and rarely seen in the traditionally grim leaden skies that loom oppressively over Lancashire. Yes, it was sunny, bright and clear! It wasn't even raining for goodness sake!

It's been a while since I've wandered the woods surrounding Anglezarke, so I figured I'd drive up there and see how things were looking. Would the harsh light kill the usual mysterious look of the woods and plague me with hotspots in my images?

For this trip I took the GFX100S + 45-100 f/4 and 20-35 f/4 along with the usual tripod and filter set. I'd swear this kit is getting heavier as I was knackered after walking a mere 2.5 miles in a little over two hours. Hard to believe I carried it all part way up a mountain last year.

As always it takes me a little time to comment on your pictures. In this set, I like the light and shade of the last three the most.

Siberian Jay
Previous week I was in Lapland, shot tons of photos and had lot of hiking in winter wonderland. Some images I've published in landscape threads, here I want to show siberian jay shots. It's regarded as bad luck bird in lot of countries and this superstition is shown also in its latin name: Perisoreus infaustus. But Finns consider it lucky bird. Anyway, it's very nice bird, too bad that it's living so far away...

A very nice shot.

Hidden danger revealed !

If you just happened to be flying around at these icy temperatures you’d be safe from the spiders today.
The ice crystals have revealed their webs!

It gotta be really cold. I wondered how they the ice particles were going to look like on close macro shots
