The #snow is back today, but so is work, so a #Harz memory from earlier this month with the typical Mikado #mountainscape will have to do

This image depicts a stark, wintry landscape dominated by a forest of leafless, skeletal trees. The ground is blanketed in a layer of snow, creating a contrast with the dark, vertical lines of the tree trunks. The trees appear to be dead or severely damaged, standing upright but stripped of branches and foliage, giving the scene an eerie, desolate atmosphere. The sky is overcast, adding to the sombreness of the environment. The terrain is uneven, with some areas showing more densely packed trees and others more sparse.

Where are your twenty million now, lady Bavaria?

A triptych in monochrome. In the left frame, with thick black border, is a shot of three visible busts between a couple of Doric pillars that stand behind the statue of Bavaria. On the right side, is the statue of Bavaria itself, cold against a stark bright gray sky. The middle photo shows the empty Theresienwiese under a gray cloudy sky, with a few containers scattered around the vast empty field, looking desolate with patches of snow and thawed, dirty water puddles, horizon line starting with St. Paul's cathedral on the left, and continuing over the distant buildings, several cranes against the clouds.

A frozen lake rests beneath towering, snow‑lit peaks as soft clouds drift across the rugged mountains. Warm sunlight brushes the summits, contrasting with the icy foreground and creating a serene, powerful moment of alpine stillness.
Ein gefrorener See liegt unter mächtigen, schneebedeckten Gipfeln, während sanfte Wolken über die rauen Berge ziehen. Warmes Sonnenlicht berührt die Höhen und bildet einen Kontrast zur eisigen Landschaft, wodurch ein stiller, kraftvoller Moment alpiner Ruhe entsteht.

Not exactly. What the issue is is "the cold parts of Canada are too thinly populated to have the electric infrastructure necessary for quick charging to allow you to travel between cities reliably in the extreme cold". We can discuss the details - the math shows pretty conclusively how electric vehicles are not an alternative in a lot of situations in the prairies and the north - but it's all stuff I've gone through before. If you're one of the "just switch to electric already!" city-dwellers from lower BC or the Windsor-Quebec City corridor who's never lived elsewhere, you really don't have a frame of reference for this.

"Canada is too cold for electric cars" is a straw-man argument that nobody is making.

Absturzstelle eines USAAF B-24H Liberator-Bombers
Am 13. Juni 1945 stürzte ein USAAF B-24H Liberator nahe Gairloch, Schottland, ab – alle 15 Besatzungsmitglieder starben. Das Flugzeug war von Prestwick in die USA unterwegs, verliess den Kurs vermutlich wegen Navigationsfehler, Technik oder Wetter und stürzte beim Versuch einer Notlandung im Loch Gairloch in die Hügel oberhalb der Fairy Lochs ab, nachdem es den Berg Slioch streifte. Die Trümmer liegen heute verstreut am Ufer und auf dem Hügel; einige Teile wie Rumpf, Propeller und Triebwerke sind noch erkennbar. Der Ort ist eine Kriegsgräberstätte mit Gedenktafel und Besucher-Gedenkobjekten.

Rostige Metallteile und zerbrochene Flugzeugtrümmer liegen verstreut auf dem felsigen Ufer eines Sees in Gairloch, Schottland. Die dramatische Komposition mit einem weiten Blickwinkel betont die raue Landschaft und den dunklen, bewölkten Himmel. Die selektive Farbgebung hebt die verwitterten Wrackteile hervor und vermittelt eine melancholische Stimmung.

mind full of desolate thoughts
hurried footsteps close

Stepping off the LEM
Magnificent desolation
Shape of things to come

So we started our #adventure of #Heavensward (#HW) in #FFXIV by exploring the #architecture of #Ishguard. The Foundation absolutely looks #desolate and the lack of players makes it seem abandoned, adding to the #aesthetics. The surrounding areas feel so vast and empty, adding such a nice charm.

Three player characters stand together in a snowy mountain landscape. From left to right: a character with pink hair in scaled armor, a character with short brown hair wearing white and green archer-style clothing with a quiver, and a character in blue and black armor. Snow-covered peaks and wooden structures are visible in the background under overcast skies.

A nighttime view of an ornate Gothic cathedral district with towering spires and elaborate architecture. A character stands in the plaza, surrounded by grand buildings with pointed arches, flying buttresses, and glowing lanterns. The starry sky creates a dramatic backdrop. The architecture features a mix of yellowish stone towers and gray-blue cathedral walls with intricate detailing.

Interior shot of a dimly lit stone chamber with warm candlelight. A character in elegant blue and white robes stands before an altar or table adorned with candelabras. Behind them is a large decorative blue-tinted emblem or crest mounted on the dark wall. The room has a formal, ceremonial atmosphere with stone pillars and gothic architectural elements.

A character wearing a distinctive cowboy hat and black outfit with red accents poses in a bustling city plaza during daytime. They’re dressed in western-style gear with decorative accessories including necklaces and a belt buckle. Behind them are medieval-style buildings with blue and brown tones, market stalls, and other players visible in the background.

Frozen waves crash hard,
Aurora's green whispers glow,
Winter's breath holds still.

I took this some years ago, can't remember where I was at the time. It was Somewhere In Scotland, I can't be more precise than that!

Update: Thanks to withaveeay@mastodon.scot for identifying it as Loch Assynt

A black and white photograph of a solitary bird, silhouetted against a dark, cloudy sky. The bird is perched on a bare branch of a leafless tree, which is also silhouetted. The image has a grainy texture and a slightly blurred, moody feel, suggesting a cold or sombre atmosphere. The composition is focused on the central figure of the bird and the stark branches, with other foliage visible to the right.

Abandoned Wooden House An Echo of the Past

A weathered and worn abandoned wooden house in a rural landscape. Its peeling paint and broken windows reflect the passage of time, while bare trees and an overcast sky enhance the scene's moody, nostalgic atmosphere.
