Show your winter photos from your home or area

It's becoming rare but on Cape Cod when the Atlantic freezes and then the ice gets broken up by a storm you get this washing ashore. Very cool walking among it at low tide. This photo was in the local paper a few years ago and I understand it's happening again with the crazy low temperatures they are seeing this winter. It's one of the few things I miss not spending winters there anymore.

Wow! That's Amazing!
 
This first image is a downsized for web version of the 6000 by 5000 pixel original a 2 row 1 column 2 frame that I worked 2/19/2026 along the Merced River below Yosemite Valley. The cream cheese like look to the snow surface is because during this Friday, the afternoon temperature rose to about 35F and areas with sunshine dripped water from melting snow onto these snow covered river boulders. Our human brains are quite skilled from developed evolutionary advantages at taking our binary visual inputs and seeing creature shapes if the surrounding patterns might be the shape of some other binary eyed earth creature with eyes at the head end.

From the above, made two crop on the left and right frame sides. So for the amusement of my SF forum friends, mr dave photographed with a special light filter that allowed the otherwise invisible red eyes to be visible on this herd of white wool-like creatures. They all shared the same woollike coats but were from a few dozen different species. These creature feed in nearby lush river dell grasslands like our Earth sheep. Here they were enjoying a nice cool drink in the river at lunch time.

And a downsized for web from the 8100 by 6200 pixel full image of 1612 foot Ribbon Falls, the highest fall in the USA. Well, so little water was flowing over it merely drip flowed over the rock surfaces.

What the fall top looks like in that photo at 100% pixels:
