The day after Christmas in Waterbury, Connecticut, December 26, 2021, 8:35 AM.

Monochrome image. Looking down on a small, aging industrial city from a few stories up. Several larger office buildings and two parking structures dominate the view. There are also several much older office buildings, including an old brick 4-story building on a corner near the center of the pic. It is the day after Christmas, not a lot is going on here as far as vehicle or foot traffic. Everything is wet from rainfall recently ended. The pale morning sky is clearing, the retreating clouds are catching some sunshine.

Weather-beaten tree atop the cliffs tackles another winter, Giant's Right Knee, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. January 10, 2025, 2:40 PM.

#hiking #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #trail #mountains #wintertime

A clear sky with thin, gauzy clouds. Emerging out of the forest onto cliffs of dark rock speckled with light gray lichen. This part of the cliffs has a wild profusion of moss, grass, shrubs and the occasional small tree growing in a thin layer of soil across much of the rock. Almost all are dormant for winter. The trees and shrubs are mostly leafless. A weather-beaten tree with a tangle of gnarled and broken limbs stands just to our left. To our right is the rocky edge of the cliff. The sun, offscreen top, is shining directly at us, creating a patchwork of long dark shadows and splashes of bright sunlight.

Fire and ice sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. January 30, 2021, 4:50 PM.

We are standing on the shore of a large frozen lake. A leafless  shrub frames the pic on the left. The visible shoreline to the left and across the lake is forest, bare leafless trees. The lake surface is frozen solid with several inches of ice thickness. There are numerous large cracks where the ice melted into pieces during thaws and then refroze back as one solid ice sheet. The sun is setting behind the trees in the far shore, tinting the sky around it and along the horizon gold. The rest of the sky is a very pale blue.

Is next year the last year with time changes @EUCommission ?
On October 23 in Brussels, all parties agreed that the time changes must end. To show politicians that the decision should be enforced, your vote for natural time is needed. If you haven't already signed the European petition, do so now! It is available in 27 languages.

Pink and violet Winter sunrise, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. December 6, 2019, 6:53 AM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #lake #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

We are looking down a small slope to a wooden footbridge crossing an inlet of a large lake. Most of the lake surface is frozen, a light coating of snow cloaks the ground and most of the ice. There are forests of tall pines on either end of the bridge. The rest of the forest surrounding the lake is mostly leafless hardwoods. There are many thin clouds in the sky. The rising sun is tinting them orange, pink and violet, reflecting on the ice which has no snow cover.

Golden winter sunset, Giant's Chest, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. February 15, 2023, 4:32 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #mountains #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

Coming out onto a cliff of coarse brown rock with numerous cracks and fissures. There are patches of golden brown dormant grass growing in many of the cracks. A forest of cedars and leafless hardwoods grows on either side of the cliff. The view is just appearing, some rolling hills and buildings a few hundred feet below. The late afternoon sky is a pale blue gray. Most of the visible sky is covered with a cluster of hazy thin clouds. The sun, setting behind the haze, is a large roundish blob of golden fire, painting the surrounding haze orange and yellow.

A high contrast black and white photo of a forest floor covered with an inch or two of snow. A thin scattering of fallen twigs and branches poke out of the snow. Also several dozen shriveled ferns.

Thawing lake ice. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. January 27, 2020, 4:44 PM.

At twilight a melted patch on the thinning lake ice is a deep blue against the lighter blue of the ice, with long, branching tentacles of melting extending out in every direction.
Short walk before school.

🫰 Time isn’t just personal. It’s expensive.

🔍 According to a recent review of over 360 scientific studies (link in comment), the time change doesn’t deliver - medically or economically.

Help us push for smart, science-based time policies in Europe.

Even in places where the sun doesn't rise above the horizon in winter, it is not totally dark. In the most northern landscape of Norway, close to Svalbard, close to "the top" or "the bottom" of the globe however you chose to look at it, there is light even in winter.
You just have to catch those few hours.

☀️ The IANT welcomes the fact that the European Parliament unanimously supports abolishing the clock change by 2026! (see link in comments)

🌍 The ball now lies firmly with the member states, represented by their Council ministers, as every political party from left to far-right now fully supports the knowledge that the clock change is unhealthy and economically unwise.

🪷 Priests of #Antinous thank #Druids who toiled all night to move #Stonehenge stones back one hour for the time change from #DaylightSavingTime #summertime to #wintertime in the UK and Europe! Remember them the next time you complain about how inconvenient the time change is! 🪷
