A thin sheet of ice seals a roadside puddle, marked by fine white lines and soft fractures. It suggests how quickly form appears, and how quietly it lets go.

A frozen roadside puddle seen close up. Pale, thread-like lines run through dark ice, forming abstract shapes that resemble a map or branching paths.

Fire and ice (and a bit of snow)

#nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography #sunset #ice #snow #winter #balticsea

A vertically oriented photograph of the sun setting over the sea, which is covered by coarse ice. There are several small rocky islands and islet in the sea, some of which have trees on them and some are barren. In the foreground some snow and bedrock from the near shore are visible. The upper part of the photo is a cloudy sky with blues and yellows of the late afternoon sky visible between the clouds. The sun shines through a gap in the clouds, creating a bright yellow line of reflection in the sea ice.

Views of a sunbow over Valentino Pier last Friday, just ahead of this weekend’s arctic freeze. Barely edited — I didn’t think I could really improve on this magical light.

#photography #sunset #goldenhour #sun #sunbow #sunhalo #pier #waterfront #clouds #crepuscularrays #winter #wintervibes #brooklyn #nyc

A view from a pier overlooking the waters of a wide bay. A halo of pale light arcs high over the setting sun as it shines over a strip of dark clouds. Below, golden crepuscular rays fan out in a luminous band before being obscured by more gray clouds at the horizon. Directly beneath the sun, a column of sunlight sparkles on the water. In the foreground are guardrails flanking the pier’s snow-covered walkway as it recedes to some lampposts at right frame.
Another view of the sunbow over the pier. The strip of gray clouds obscures the sun itself, without diminishing the halo above or the crepuscular rays below — a strikingly dramatic effect. Directly below the sun is the silhouette of a wooden pillar rising out of the bay, surrounded by the glow of the sun sparkles on the water.
A third view of the sunbow over the pier, with the sun hidden behind the head of a lamppost as the halo arcs overhead. Sunlight glows around the lamp head as the lamppost’s lower half is framed by sun sparkles on the water. To the left is a wooden pillar in the bay; to the right is the pier’s snow-covered walkway, with a bench facing the water and the far shore.
Last in a series of views of a sunbow over a wide bay. A strip of clouds obscures the sun without dimming the arc of the halo above or the crepuscular rays below. In the foreground is a section of a park, with clumps of plants poking out of the snow-crusted ground. At left and right respectively, a low warehouse and a snow-covered pier push out into the water.

A few photos from our Sunday trip up Miller Creek to a cave in the terminus of the Canwell Glacier and some phenomenal ice crystals.

I've got a post up now with a lot more photos from the trip here: lwpetersen.com/photo-blog/blue…

#alaska #hiking #winter #glacier #icecave

Footprints lead across a gently sloping floor of compacted snow inside a glacier cave. The cave ceiling arches overhead, textured with rounded, layered ice formations. Daylight enters from a low opening in the distance, illuminating pale blue ice and packed snow near the entrance.
Two people travel across a wide, snow-covered creek valley on skis, following a narrow, packed track. Snowy spruce trees line the valley, and rugged, snow-covered mountains rise in the background under a clear blue sky.
A close-up view of dendritic ice spikes growing downward from the cave ceiling. The crystals are long, branching, and translucent, with sharp edges that catch the light against darker ice in the background.
A wide view up the Canwell Glacier valley during blue hour. Snow-covered glacier ice and wind-sculpted snow fill the foreground, while steep, jagged mountains rise in the distance. The entire scene is cast in deep blue twilight, with no direct sunlight remaining on the peaks.

Today we managed to pass a leaking old beaver dam that is now frozen to the ground.
Snowshoe-packed a trail further into the bush. Yodelled and the old chickadees found us (the families seem to have their territories). How did we know it was them?
They landed on us immediately 😂. And talked!
Happy to see they have survived another year.

View from the icy edge of a river, mist rising and partially obscuring the opposite shore. A metal bridge in the background and a tall building highlighted by the pink light of the sunrise is reflected in the water. The sky is a clear blue.

Das Bild zeigt eine große Trauerbirke, die vollständig mit Raureif bedeckt ist. Der Baum dominiert die Mitte des Bildes und seine herabhängenden Äste bilden eine dichte, silbrig-weiße Masse. Der Himmel darüber ist strahlend blau mit einigen leichten Wolken. Im unteren linken Bereich des Bildes ist ein Teil eines Hauses mit einem orangefarbenen Dach und einer gelben Struktur zu sehen. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einer leicht nebligen, winterlichen Landschaft mit Feldern und weiteren Bäumen in der Ferne. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und kalt, mit dem Fokus auf den frostigen Details des Baumes.

Morning light hits Mt. Hayes in the Alaska Range, viewed over the frozen Tanana River.

#alaska #winter #sunrise

Distant view of Mount Hayes in the Alaska Range under early morning light. The snow-covered peak rises in the background, with a faint pink glow on its upper slopes from the low sunrise. Below the mountains, dark forested hills transition into the wide, frozen Tanana River, which stretches across the middle of the frame as a pale, icy expanse. In the foreground, frost-covered shrubs and trees form a darker band, contrasting with the soft blue and lavender tones of the winter landscape and sky.

Frost on the inside of my bedroom window. Taken this past weekend at 9°F with a wind chill feel of -6°F (-12/-21°C).

A minimalistic image of horizontal bands of different widths and textures, in varying light and dark tones. It’s actually an extreme closeup of a layer of white frost on the lower lip of an interior window sash, with some drops of condensation on the glass above it and a blurred glimpse of the wire mesh screen on the outside.

Well my wife has lost her mind! It's 4°F outside with the wind chill more like -12°F and she wants to run to Costco. The snow hasn't started but damn it's cold! 🥶❄️

I already had to experience going full turtle getting out of the shower. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Shrinkage didn't cover it. Our old house was built in the 60's and the shower is in an dormer sticking off the back of the house.

Nun noch der #Kaffee und was auf die #Ohren:

Bleibt senkrecht und gesund!

Dieses beeindruckende Foto zeigt ein faszinierendes Nordlicht (Aurora Borealis) über einer nächtlichen Flusslandschaft. Hier sind die zentralen Merkmale der Szene: Der Himmel: Er wird von leuchtenden grünen und violetten Farbschleiern dominiert, die sich über den gesamten Horizont erstrecken. Das Grün ist im unteren Bereich besonders intensiv, während der obere Teil in ein tiefes Violett übergeht, gespickt mit unzähligen hellen Sternen. Das Wasser: Ein ruhiger Fluss oder See im Vordergrund wirkt wie ein Spiegel. Die grünen und rosa Töne der Polarlichter sowie das Sternenlicht reflektieren sich deutlich auf der Wasseroberfläche. Die Uferlandschaft: Am linken Ufer steht eine Gruppe markanter, kahler Bäume, die sich dunkel gegen den hellen Himmel abheben. Das Ufer selbst wirkt frostig oder leicht verschneit. Die Atmosphäre: Die Szene strahlt eine tiefe Ruhe, Kälte und die magische Stille einer klaren Polarnacht aus.
Dieses Bild zeigt eine beeindruckende nächtliche Landschaft mit einem leuchtenden Polarlicht (Aurora Borealis). Hier sind die wichtigsten Details der Szene: Himmelsphänomen: Der Nachthimmel ist von einem intensiven Farbspiel aus leuchtendem Grün und tiefem Violett erfüllt. Das grüne Licht bildet ein horizontales Band knapp über dem Horizont, während sich darüber ein rötlich-violetter Schleier ausbreitet. Der gesamte Himmel ist zudem mit unzähligen, klar erkennbaren Sternen übersät. Vordergrund und Natur: Im Zentrum steht ein großer, kahler Baum, dessen filigrane Äste sich deutlich gegen das bunte Himmelslicht abheben. Er wird von weiteren, kleineren Bäumen flankiert. Die Szenerie befindet sich an einem Ufer, wobei das Wasser eines ruhigen Flusses oder Sees im Hintergrund die Farben des Polarlichts sanft widerspiegelt. Stimmung: Die Aufnahme fängt eine friedliche, magische Atmosphäre ein, die typisch für klare Polarnächte ist. Wusstest du, dass die verschiedenen Farben durch Kollisionen mit unterschiedlichen Gasen entstehen? Grünes Licht wird meist durch Sauerstoff in etwa 100 km Höhe verursacht, während Violett und Blau oft auf Stickstoff zurückzuführen sind.
