Pas une ombre en vue,
neige vierge sous mes pas,
bleu profond, silence.

No shadow in sight,
virgin snow beneath my steps,
deep blue, silent peace.

A breathtaking view of a snow-clad mountain towering over a serene landscape. The peak glistens under the golden hues of the rising sun, casting a soft glow on the untouched white slopes. Below, a dense forest of evergreen trees, dusted with fresh snow, stretches across the valley. A winding river, partially frozen, meanders through the landscape, reflecting the crisp blue sky. In the distance, rolling hills fade into the horizon, their misty outlines blending with the morning light. The scene exudes tranquility, capturing the raw beauty of nature in winter.

Neige fraîche, pas lents,
Les ombres dansent sur la neige,
Le ciel bleu s’embrase.

Crisp snow, steps ascend,
Shadows dance in frozen light,
Sky glows deep and blue.

The mountains seemed to generate their own weather.

Mont Blanc du Tacul (4248 meters) is located between the Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc.

The play of light and shadow over the peaks was fascinating to watch.

The iconic peaks of Seceda stand proudly under a vibrant blue sky, their jagged formations accentuated by fresh snow. This photo captures the crisp beauty of a winter morning, with shadows stretching across the snow-covered wooden fence leading the viewer’s eye towards the majestic peaks.

Seceda is a paradise for photographers and nature lovers alike, offering unparalleled views and a sense of serenity that’s hard to match. This moment reminds us of the incredible beauty the Dolomites hold, especially in the stillness of winter.

What does Seceda inspire in you — adventure, peace, or awe?

This dreamlike image, a thoughtful blend of AI creativity and photography by Duncan Rawlinson, features shimmering icicles dripping gracefully with vibrant water droplets floating mid-air.

This was taken 3 years ago on our trip to CA & OR.
On this day we were driving from Crater Lake in southern OR to Hood River in the north. We stopped at Peter Skene Ogden Park to eat our picnic lunch. This was just north of Bend OR on the Crooked River and was a nice unplanned stop. Very cool to get a closeup view of the old Oregon Trunk Railway Bridge. HSoS!

Yesterday, 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.

I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.

So, yesterday, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more with the SX60. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say, I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited. The shot above came out about the same with both cameras - blurry.
