*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2024.12.21 ***

Seasonal colouring, none can miss these red shoes. Well spotted!

These are my favorites, I like first for its background but the water seems to come out of nowhere. In second eye can follow water bit more, so I prefer second shot bit more.

Love low sun illuminating clouds from below.
Solstice is happy day: today we have day length of 6 hours 3 minutes and with constant cloudiness it seems even shorter, but from today on it can get only better, as there will be more light and opprtunities to shoot outside.

Perhaps this fest's opening song singer is something for you, singing sweet pop tune... :D

Thanks but I'm gonna have to give him a miss too.

Woodland. I followed David's cropping advice for a similar photo.

These two for me. After picking them out I noticed they're both square format.

Wow, that's lovely.

That's a great picture, lovely tones and atmosphere.

This is nice, although it feels like the shadows could benefit from being selectively raised a bit. That said, it's tricky to get that sort of thing just right without the gloomier parts of the image looking a bit milky.

What a lovely location and great conditions.

A fantastic location, definitely worth the revisit. I'm quite envious of all these wonderful snow pictures (both yours and Nigel's). Here in Mordor Lancashire, we've been experiencing a fine selection of drizzle and gale force winds for the past few weeks. It's really not got quite the same wintry charm ;-)

I already raised it as much as I dare! 😁

That's gorgeous. The puddles make a huge difference to the overall balance.

Good catch.

Incredible scenes, this is my pick.

Another set of fine images, despite the bad weather!
Nice to see you (also) visit the same place several times. The weather and different seasons all make it different every time you visit and keep it interesting

Yes, the danger of avalanches is real and we have to be careful.
My shot shows just a small one, but they can be much bigger!
On the TV there are warnings about any higher avanlanche situations.
We also have websites that show the daily weather forecast and also the daily avalanche status.

Here are two screen shots from that website from earlier today.

First a high level overview with Austria in the middle

then zooming in to your area, you get more details (Hochkönig for me)

it is colour coded on a scale 1-5: ( or green to black)
-5 is deadly- no body goes out
-4 is almost as deadly - only the really stupid go out
-3 is still "considerable danger", but that doesn't sound so bad as a "4" or a "5", and so more people will go out with a "3" status, especially if it looks good and enticing out there, and that is, of course, where most accidents happen !
-2 moderate
-1 low

There will be more snow tonight so it might look quite different tomorrow!

Fantastic image!
looks a bit creepy :-)

Interesting. Not a day for skiing in Chamonix!
There is something similar for Scotland. We're expecting one of the mildest Christmases on record 😕 But at least travel to Elgin next weekend may be without hassle.
