Finally the snow and cold is here:

that's pretty dramatic
you're not in a van i take it, the tracks look too close together, a quad bike perhaps?

send some of that our way please! It's raining like mad here, but no snow anywhere; and that's the worst when it's grim, dark, ugly and miserable outside, but snowboarding season isnt even close to starting yet.

farrk...nice grim pics

The tracks are from our tractor actually, I wanted to take the photo without the tracks, but my dad had just been driving there before.
I walk on foot

Oxenkiller: Hehe, I know all about that, we have had so much rain too the last months, or well, the whole year actually. So the snow is very welcome now.

Will post some more later tonight.

Gorgeous shots as always. I always winter scenery, keep 'em coming!

Winter, eh?

Taken yesterday. Pretty tough to show temperature, but this is what truly desperate cold looks like. Despite knowing how to dress, my nose and a few fingers were frost nipped in the 7 or 8 minutes I was out of the car. -54 degrees.

amazing!!!!!

Great and very atmospheric photos Boreal! But -54? Wow, thats heavy. Our pale -12 seems like nothing compared to that,haha!

Some more, taken some days ago:


The last trip with my canoe before the lake have frozen solid now

-54?? WTF, I checked the forecast for various cities in Alaska and the coldest I saw was still "just" -33 Celsius... Where do you live, Boreal?
Edit: not calling you a liar, btw... I saw this, haha, ouch.


Those are some really awesome pics though!

i figured he meant -54 Fahrenheit...

-54 F is still -48 C.

crikey, it is too
minus anything is 'stay inside and listen to records' weather

I LOVE the fourth one.
Where do you live, Boreal?


Nice ones, ForestCorpse!
You have a canoe?!? Lucky bastard! LOL!


Yeah, something does not seem right!

P.S: I forgot my camera in my brother's workshop so I can't show you the 15 meters whale that has appeared today in my local beach!

Yeah, coldest official temp I saw that day was -47 (Fahrenheit), but some friends on that side of town said their thermometer went to -54, so I went with it The temps here do vary a lot over short distances because of the temperature inversion, elevation, ect. A gust of wind will raise the temperature 20 degrees - kinda weird. If anybody's curious, the record low for this general region is -82, from just across the border in the Yukon. Don't think it's ever been past -70 here in town though.

I'm in a little place called Delta, about 100 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska.

holy shit...and they winge about how cold it is here

Here you have!

P.S: Finally, it's supposed to be 16,5 meters long and around 20 tons weight.

wow man, we get beached whales and stuff over here fairly often, it's pretty sad aye.

fuck they are strange looking beasts,cool beach

That.... is.... so awesome.... ;_;

Makes my pics from Yellowstone seem bland and banal. Holy crap were those bears fairly close, or do you have an amazing zoom on your camera?

for some reason i thought [those] eagles were solitary? it seems not!
i'm loving the baby moose and the otter ha ha


Marag those pics of yours are real nice man

that salmons really pink,isnt that when they are just about to lay there eggs and die??
see dreadmeat,our scenery aint that great

shhh or i'll set some hobbitses on you

No way, south island's the shit. I'll make it down there one of these years; opposite seasons are very attractive.. And yes, that Sockeye was at the end of its run - not actually very tasty, but cool looking at least.

In early winter, bald eagles gather on a few northern rivers that have late season salmon runs. That pic was from a month or so ago near Haines, in southeast AK. I guess they just arrived along the Fraser, Nooksack, and Skagit Rivers down in Washington, but not as dense I don't think.

Morrigan, I liked your Yellowstone pictures. I was there years ago, but only for a couple days. I can't remember why I don't have any pictures - it's a fascinating place. Almost hate to admit it, but the bears were both photographed from my truck window. They love the cleared roadsides in spring. I wish I had a pic of the bear that was ripping apart our neighbors' (vacant) tent at a bluegrass festival last summer. Not something you want to see first thing in the morning, hungover, and not wearing clothes..

Awesome pictures, Boreal. They radiate professionalism and make us hobbyists look bad so please don't post again.

Just kidding, moar!

Yes it is, I have just recently got back from a two week self-driven tour of the south island, and will post the pictures when I'm finished uploading them all. All I can say about the south NZ island is

I WILL be going back.

ha ha yeah the south island can make your knees a bit weak aye
looking forward to the photogs man

Right. Here is some of the pictures I took on our glorious New Zealand south island holiday. We started in Christchurch, going west to Greymouth through Arthur's Pass, then down the west coast, stopping at Fox Glacier, Hokitika, Queenstown, Te Anu, Glenorchy (to sample the bloody epic Routeburn track), Mt Cook, Dunedin and Purakanui Bay. In all we traveled almost 3000klm with "sunny" our faithful erm... Nissan Sunny. The south island of this nation holds some of the most beautiful and stunning landscape I have ever seen. There are quite a lot so they will be in the spoiler tag, and I'm sorry but they're all in a random order.

Very jealous Revelation, that landscape is magnificent.

Thanks mate, very sad to have left. I would happily move there, as there is so much to do, hiking, fishing, photography etc and the place is really quite chill. The place is simple awe inspiring.

Those Middle Earth pics are gorgeous.

*checks airfare from Alaska to New Zealand*

Fuck

typo, Te Anu > Te Anau
some sweet photogs there, that lonely tree on the outcrop chose an interesting home.
excellent itinerary!

just spent 300 bux on a camera,so hopefully get some shots of my own soon.Summer does'nt seem as photogenic as winter though,everythings all dry and sunshine and lollipops and bright pretty flowers

Whoops!

Thanks! Went on the glow worm tour down there at Lake Te Anau. Interesting facts on the lake: it's fresh water (apparently you can drink it straight from the lake), and it's the biggest south island glacial lakes and is over 400m deep at it's deepest point.

this is a crap photo ,and pretty much the same as my last one.im just playing around with my new camera,and thought it was cool that this is my view while taking a dump in my bathroom.

That's Mt Hutt right?

it's mount grogan
