View of a mostly empty water feature in the wintertime at the local botanical gardens with large stones positioned on an elevated cement platform between beds of vegetation with some small patches of snow, leafless bushes and trees. The trees in the distance are in sunlight but the water feature is in a mostly shady spot.

A black and white photograph of three conifers and several shrubs huddled together in the middle of a field covered in deep snow during a blizzard. Falling snowflakes are visible against the darker trees. Behind them, other trees are lost in the storm, as if in mist.

Photographie en noir et blanc de trois conifères et quelques arbustes collés les uns sur les autres, au mileu d'un champ couvert de neige épaisse, pendant une tempête de neige. Les flocons qui tombent sont visibles contre les arbres plus foncés. Derrière, d'autres arbres se perdent dans la tempête, comme dans la brume.

A black and white photograph of a winter landscape, taken on a snowstorm day, shows three deer at the edge of a snow-covered street, with drifts and tall, dark evergreens to the left. The three deer are looking towards the photographer, their ears pricked. Behind them, the tree-lined, snow-covered street rises and turns to the right, disappearing into the blizzard. The heavy snowfall is visible against the dark evergreens.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un paysage hivernal, un jour de tempête de neige, montrant trois chevreuils dans dans le bord d'une rue enneigée, avec des congères et de grands conifères sombres à gauche. Les trois chevreuils regardent vers la photographe, avec leurs oreilles dressées. Derrière, la rue bordée d'arbres et enneigée monte et tourne vers la droite, se perdant dans le blizzard. La neige qui tombe fortement du ciel est visible vis-à-vis des conifères sombres.

Birds in a Winter Forest is a handmade paper collage by artist Karen Kaspar.
In a snowy winter landscape in soft blue tones, three bright red birds sit on bare branches of tall, slender tree trunks that stand out in dark brown against the light winter background. Large white snowflakes are falling.
The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the watercolor background and combined with the watercolor birds.
The winter picture is minimalist and conveys a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Winter in the Valley

Stoneman Bridge in Yosemite Valley is a popular spot for photographers and painters alike. Looking up to the Northeast the Merced River flows down from Happy Isle and crosses in Front of Half Dome. To the south you can follow the river down along the eastern walls of the valley.

Winter In The Valley

A quiet winter hush settles over Yosemite Valley in this scene. Fresh snow softens every surface, turning the landscape into a world of muted whites and silvers. The Merced River moves slowly through the frame, its dark, glassy surface reflecting the pale sky like a strip of polished obsidian. Along the riverbank, snow-laden pines lean inward, their branches heavy and still, absorbing sound the way thick velvet absorbs light.

Half Dome rises like a ghost emerging from thinning clouds—its granite face catching a faint wash of afternoon sun that glows warm against the cold surroundings. The air feels crisp enough to sting the lungs, carrying the faint scent of wet stone and pine bark exposed beneath the snow.

The entire valley seems to exhale slowly, as if pausing between storms. Light drifts across the scene in soft, shifting patches, illuminating the western bank where the sun briefly kisses the fresh snowfall, making it sparkle as though dusted with crushed crystal. It’s a moment of stillness, clarity, and quiet awe—winter holding Yosemite in a gentle, luminous grip.

#monochrome #blackandwhite #snow #winter #texturetuesday #photography

A black and white photograph of a winter landscape showing a snow-covered field bathed in sunlight. The bright light creates contrasts between the white snow, the shadows of the trees, and the ripples created by the wind. Streams beneath the snow create trenches softened by the thick blanket of snow.

Photographie en noir et blanc d'un paysage hivernal montrant un champ enneigé sous le soleil. La lumière vive crée des contrastes entre la neige blanche, l'ombre des arbres et les ondulations créées par le vent. Des ruisseaux sous la neige créent des tranchées adoucies par la couverture de neige épaisse.

A black and white photograph of a winter landscape shows a forest path covered in deep snow and marked with deer tracks, with sunlight filtering through the tree branches. Spruce and cedar trees stand to the right of the path and at the top of the image. A garden decoration in the form of a small Japanese house, also covered in snow, is located to the right.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un paysage hivernal, montrant un sentier dans la forêt couvert de neige épaisse et parcouru de traces de chevreuils, avec la lumière du soleil filtrant à travers ;es branches d'arbres. Du côté droit du sentier et dans le haut de l'image se dressent des épinettes et des cèdres. Une décoration de jardin sous la forme d'une petite maison japonaise se trouve aussi du côté droit, couverte de neige.

cold river

#river #icetodon #winter #snow #forest #quebec #photography

Photograph of a river almost entirely covered by a thick layer of opaque white ice forming stalactites on its edges, and on top of that by a layer of snow, with a fast current and rapids still visible in the center of the riverbed. Dark forest lines both banks and contrasts with the very white, bluish snow. The photo is taken from above, from a bridge over the river.

Photographie d'une rivière presque entièrement recouverte d'une épaisse couche de glace blanche opaque formant des stalactites sur ses côtés, et par-dessus d'une couche neige, avec un débit rapide et des rapides encore visibles au centre du lit de la rivière. La forêt sombre borde les deux rives et contraste avec la neige très blanche et bleutée. La photo est prise de haut, à partir d'un pont au-dessus de la rivière.

Looks like the snow has started here. If we do end up with the 12-18 inches the advisories have been warning about, it'll be a mess.

On the bright side, lately I've been doing a lot of informal thinking while shoveling snow. I'm turning over an informal argument grounded on Chaitin incompleteness that if our physical universe has continuous space-time, then we must make non-computable leaps in our theories in order to increase the fidelity of our understanding. "Artificial scientists" running on computers will always have inescapable limits that don't apply to human beings. It's exactly the sort of wacky thing that makes for good shovel thinking: it passes the time, and there might be something in there that's more than passing theoretical fancy.

"The framers of our Constitution understood the dangers of unbridled government surveillance. They knew that democracy could flourish only in spaces free from government snooping and interference, and they put restraints on government overreaching in the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights. . . . These protections require, at a minimum, a neutral arbiter - a magistrate - standing between the government's endless desire for information and the citizens' desires for privacy." ~ Elizabeth Holtzman
