Happy New Year, folks! As a Far East dweller, I'd like to take the privilege of starting this first thread of the New Year. Wish a prospective and peaceful year to you all.
Post your "blog" contributions here. No theme (other than what the passage of time creates), no contest implied, a maximum of one picture per day in the actual month for NG Supporters and no more than 8 images per month for NG members. (since it's the last month of the year 2025, every member can post one picture daily).
Enjoy!

It seems too be more snow in Denmark and the Netherlands right now than the winter destination Lillehammer/Norway. I am a bit jealous :-)

Well we have less than 10cm, but skiing is possible if you take care of your ski.
-
Approx. 15cm deep snow at present, but since it isn't packed densely, skiing is fraught with difficulties. A little more of snow and there will be at least some prepared tracks for the skiing fans.

Far too many fatal mushroom poisonings here in Australia - some through misidentification where Asian people have mistaken poisonous mushrooms that very much looked like safe Asian varieties and of of course the now infamous recent death cap triple murder conviction. Need truly expert advice before touching anything in the wild - advice from a fully practicing coward! 8).

Thanks, Hugh. I wouldn't touch them for anything. Once, in France, in the Dordogne, I ate a lepiota mortel and ended up in the hospital hallucinating.

At last we got a semblance of winter in my neighbourhood :) I can do without the cold they currently experience deeper inland, though. Temperatures there fall below -35C at present. That's way beyond my comfort zone, even with a heat exchanger mask.

Calm, intensely cold weather, plenty of hexagonal ice crystals in the air, clear skies, very low sun, high latitude => perfect conditions for development of parhelia ('sun dogs') and other refractive atmospherical phenomena.
I snapped this on my return from the dentist's. The narrow angle of the 40mm Nikkor meant I only got one out of two sun dogs in this frame. This is the right hand side dog.

A beautiful natural optical phenomenon is captured. In Japanese, we call it ”幻日(gen-jitsu)", meaning "phantasmal sun”.

I've never seen sun dogs in front of the landscape, only up high in the sky. Amazing!
-
I retuned with the very wide Viltrox 9mm f/2.8; too wide to give the 'sun dogs' full impact size-wise, but better allowed to see them as a landscape element.
The left-hand side dog is barely visible behind the forest line, but its right hand companion shines brightly. A reminder to keep dust off the front of my wide angles, though :) I did shoot with the 9mm stopped all the way down to render reflections in the car more visible and of course this is to invite the presence of unwanted flare specks and dust on the sensor. My bad.

After the recent rains, thousands of "Oxalis pes-caprae" flowers are blooming in the fields.
-
I've seen this at Paco's place when I visit him in early spring. O. pes-caprae is naturalised in Spain and other warmer regions and actually is considered an invasive species. It has a South African origin.

Here we call them "Vinagrillo" because of their vinegar taste; we are used to them, they are part of the landscape, the flowers open with the sun.

Currently we're experiencing Arctic colds, with ambient temperatures dropping below -20C. Way too cold for my taste, even with a heat mask.
However, we are greeted with the most beautiful delicate pink sky colours at dawn. Makes for a nice contrast to the deep-frozen snow.

I can confirm the low temperatures in southeast Norway at the moment. The low winter sun provides beautiful photographic light almost all day, along with wonderful blue tones and atmospheres.
The residents on the west side of the lake do not get any sun after 10:00 a.m. in the winter, while they look out over the rest of the city of Lillehammer basking in sunlight until sunset.

Still very cold, but we might see a weather change soon(?). Snow levels are pretty normal for this time of the year, though. Thus a sense of normalcy has returned, if we only consider the domestic scene ...

Thanks, Bent. Yes, the sun problem is local. The hills on the western side of the lake Mjøsa is a bit steeper in the northern end than in the Gjøvik area. Therefore they only have morning sun in the winter. However, the main part of Lillehammer have very good sun conditions.

Woke up this morning to strong winds, "hotter" ambient temperatures (-2C, !!), and loads of fresh snow.

I did not know about the Canon FP when I had Canon cameras in 1978-79. Later I had meterless Nikon F's and F2's and liked them much. I got pretty good a guessing the correct...or nearly correct...exposure for Kodachrome 25.

Hello. The Canon FP was manufactured from 1964 to 1966; it's similar to the FX, but without a light meter. I still shoot with the Nikon F2 and other old film cameras.

Received today the printed booklet of the exhibition of this project in my home town: https://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?topic=11136.0
Opening on Thursday February 5th 18:30. If, against all odds, you happen to be near Genappe, please pop up.
I can´t believe I haven´t seen this thread until now... Congratulations on the work and wish you the best for the exhibition.
Migrations have become both a great problem =human above all- that everyone seems to try to take advantage of instead of offering solutions. Drama keeps us voting either pro or against. I'm not going to enter deeper as I don't think this is the place to do so. I'll love to come see the printed work life and talk about it.
I lived for six months in La Louviere in 2002 :)
Thanks for sharing it

High winds tore a metal cover and this zone of the school was of limits. Still high winds today.

Thank you all for the kind words. I never thought I would one day have a photo exhibition.
Paco, 2002, that was for Celine Dion, if I remember well.

Yes, that's the one ;)

Fun fact: she rented a house for 3 months near where I lived, requested enhancements worth more than the potential purchase price and ran away 2 weeks later because she tought the house was haunted.

I remember there was a baptismal cup for me when I was baptized and it was golden and it had my name and birth date engraved. One day the cup disappeared and was exchanged with a silver cup, 925 Sterling stamp on it and with gold platination. see picture.
No engravement of my name and birthday on it.
Where is my original cup?

That's right, Paco, it's a spectacular design. I saw it on the street today; it belongs to a luxury Jaguar model.

Hi Juan. I don't know much about cars, but I think the car and the logo are authentic to the brand, probably American-made.

I have been using fountain pens for a while now. This is a Majohn P139, nib size #8 just replaced with an "F" that suits better my needs.
Z50II @3200 iso -not too shabby- , 55mm 3.5 pre-ai
A nice Photo and a fantastic pen. I loved it, but lost it.

No - most definitely not American!
Was originally an Iconic British marque, but along with Land Rover it is now part of an Indian concern - part of the Tata Motors conglomerate, since 2008 when it was off-loaded by Ford.
Nice grab of the Jaguar ornament, BTW.

This is truly a beautifully captured sculpture created by the nature.

Fons, this image makes me feel kind of sea sick! What a weird effect!

Oh yeah I can see your point here Hugh ;)

Thanks Akira, glad you like it. This picture shows the effect of what a weather report described as “Polar Vortex mayhem”. Last weekend we had sixteen inches of snow followed by unrelentingly cold temperatures, which kept the snowpack intact. It was the biggest snowfall in this part of Connecticut in ten years. Oh, did I mention we live on an approximate latitude with Barcelona and Rome?

The falls look wild and dangerous

They most certainly do look wild and dangerous!
John, what software are you using with your Coolscan 4000?

You've posted several close-ups over recent months Arturo
For me this is one of the best
The colour appeals to me more than your one of the issidae, and I like the waves of gentle blur alongside the small area of sharp detail
