Winter photos and videos, and of course, some Dalek abuse :)

[wraithfodder]

Here are a variety of photos, mostly outdoors nature shots, and.....


Yes, it would not be Christmas without some seasonal Dalek abuse, although it’s tacky enough it can also last through New Year’s!


 



Cloudy sky, snow’s a-coming, shot through the blue part of the car windshield.



Christmas at dusk, on a town street.



Same street, only with the traffic light.



Lights on bare branches of a tree in a parking lot.



Ssee the pond in the middle? Shouldn’t be there! The river rose over its bank during a flood. The ducks, seen as specks, were happy though.

A mystery video ;) - description at YouTube, but you can hazard a guess ;)



Flooded area in park, leaves underwater.



Ice forms a thin layer over leaves.



First snow in a park.



Snow in a graveyard.



Deer tracks in the snow. 


and lastly, this is what wakes me up most mornings – not my dog, but the beagle…

I loved the picture of thin ice.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I shot a bunch of the ice. It was really thing, with twigs and whatnot poking through it. Very interesting patterns. it was the day after the flooding.

YAY DALEK ABUSE! (nothing better conveys the holiday spirit)

Really like the ice photo.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha! Love your icon! :) Yeah, gotta pick on the poor Dalek ;)

The ice photo is my fav too.

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

Your photos are incredible!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

These are awesome...love the ones of ice and the ones of the graveyard are beautiful in thier own way.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's a very old graveyard. can't read half the names on the stones...

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

You take beautiful pictures!
I also like the ice, it looked like a little ice manta ray sailing off over the car.
You have the same alarm clock I do. arrroooooo woof woof

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

Yeah, the alarm clock is okay now, but in the spring and summer, might be too noisy!

[mrwubbles.livejournal.com]

The forest with the pond in the middle and the thin ice were my favorites. As for the Dalek, bwhahaha!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much. Yeah, poor Dalek ;)

[negolith2.livejournal.com]

That shot through the windshield is gorgeous! It's a really big 'gate opening. :)

And, speaking as an artist, I think if you ever get the chance, enter the leaves under the water, and the ice pic afterwards in a contest if at all possible. Those are excellent. =^.^=

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Really? I'll have to see if there are any nature photography contests out there!

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

Love the dalek abuse!

Totally guessed the first video right, ha!

The graveyard shot is cool, if it weren't so far to our nearby one I'd be able to demonstrate how the snow has buried all the tombstones, but alas, I'm not brave enough to trek the mile one way on foot in these conditions.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed! Sounds like you have a LOT more snow than I do!

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

Yes, we had over 30 inches of snow over the course of 11 days, though all told there was never more than 27 inches on the ground at any one time.

In a way it *sucked* but now that its going away I find myself rather missing it. *sighs*

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

A friend in Wisconsin just told me last night that they've gotten their year's quota of snow - this week! They have 36 inches!

[leesa_perrie]

Great pics! Poor Dalek! *g*

Loved all your pics, especially the snowy sky, the leaves under water shot and the ice one!

Thanks for sharing them - and your noisy neighbour vid!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much. Yeah, well, it's not the only barky dog (ours is the other one on the vid!) ;)

[aelfgyfu_mead]

I love the ice on the leaves photo! That's beautiful!

Our snow here in Michigan is rapidly disappearing as the temperature soars. We've got fog coming off the snow, we've got water precipitating back down... it's nasty, and flooding is expected, though my parents' house should be fine.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, temps are soaring here too, so the fog is building up pretty rapidly! I just want the ice on the driveway and sidewalks to melt away...

[strange-magic.livejournal.com]

I really like the snowy cemetery. I love all those old cemeteries up north. :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Forgot to go today. Everything's fogging up so it might have looked pretty cool.

[ladyniko.livejournal.com]

Good shots - I love the Dalek one and the ice shot is very cool!

From a friend of mine who's a big Dalek fan: "I'd be worried about that dalek exterminating me in my sleep. It surely wants revenge. ;)"

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh, the poor Dalek is still totally traumatized from St Patty's day last year ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

I wondered how you could kitsch up the Daleks even more, I fear at some point they will be unrecognisable, although the antlers feel most natural. Like the fake underwater shot from car and the real leaves under water.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I could abuse the Dalek anymore, but maybe in a flash of brilliance, it will come to me! ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Different coloured light bulbs in his nodes, flashing like a disco globe.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

A disco Dalek!

The plunger thrust upright in best Saturday Night pose, then reduced to spinning gently in a circle.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Maybe some... polyester!! ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

A wig!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ah, darn, I should ahve collected the fur from the dog when we brushed him out! could have made him a mohair sweater vest like in the 70s ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Ok, now I got the worst yet: braces and lederhosen or a dirndl. And the wig of course.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

We'd better stop before this gets bad ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

... gets?!



(Yeah :) I was just seizing the very rare chance when I could connect to the internet now; good night).

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure it could get worse ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

That of course was a challenge *already put it on todo list*

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

Dalek abuse AND pretty pictures. This is lovely, thank you!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You're welcome :)

[mangababe.livejournal.com]

Lovely pictures. Diggin' the Xmas Dalek. ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)
