Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Let's get up and dance! Request for music suggestions for the winter slideshow uploaded to YouTube. There was feedback that the music chosen for the autumn slideshow was too melancholic. For the winter, 'Chris de Burgh / When Winter Comes' is envisaged. Do you have a better idea? Make your suggestions in a comment below. Note : Proposals need to be instrumental music of about 3 minutes duration. The music should be accompanying music…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1. Tomorrow the meteorological winter begins. Therefore we have switched the ipernity front page to "winter operation". Once again, we would like to thank the photographers who contributed with their pictures to create a versatile collection. 2. In order to disturb the ongoing operation as little as possible, the cleaning of the database was switched to individual account processing. To be on the safe side, each individual account history is…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The restart of ipernity after the maintenance work was unfortunately somewhat rough. This was caused by one of two backup servers which have been additionally integrated. But from now on ipernity should run to our all advantage with enlarged security reserves. 2) For the announced cleanup of the ipernity database, all necessary tools are implemented now. The cleanup itself will take place in the background during the next days and can also…

In his Chronicles of England , Richard Grafton wrote, “Thirty days hath November…” Yet, thirty days is sufficient time for this transitional month to bring one from one season into another. November is the elegant bridge that leads from autumn to winter. As one walks across that bridge, autumn’s brilliant colors fade. The sun’s golden rays offer memories of fall’s disappearing warmth, but the days grow ever shorter. Delicate ice crystals from morning frost sometimes glazes the way ahead.…

Vor einiger Zeit habe ich einmal diesen wunderschönen Winter-Wunderland-Text bekommen. Er ist nicht von mir geschrieben, aber ich fand den schon sehr amüsant. Eigentlich auf das Erzgebirge bezogen, trifft das aber durchaus auch auf andere Regionen zu.

The long winter [seemingly endless autumn in much of Europe] of 2013-14 has yielded to spring. As if to shatter any lingering doubts about the seasonal regime change that has now taken place, the booming cannon of a thunderstorm reverberated across the now colorful landscape earlier today. Spring comes bearing two powerful messages. Through its remarkable transition, sometimes in the face of fierce Arctic counterattacks from retreating winter, it speaks eloquently of renewal and resilience.…

On February 7, I posted a photo of the illuminated leaves of a Japanese Maple taken shortly after sunrise on a late October day. And then: nothing more. The days passed. The weeks passed. A month passed. No photos. No blog entries. Nothing. It was not until April 1, before I posted another photo. Time will tell whether that posted photo was an April Fool’s joke. Perhaps I had heeded the timeless advice of the bears of Yellowstone National Park from one of my past vacations: “When it’s winter…

For this article, I use the eclipse on April 15th 2014 as an example and as a location I have picked San Francisco. The path of the moon & the timing is dependent on your own location and you will have to make adjustments for that. Here are some examples and a bit of background of the various attempts : www.ipernity.com/doc/stargazer95050/album/389379

Jetzt ist sie wieder da, die allergrößte Not :-( Soviele Tiere müssen nun erbärmlich erfrieren, während wir in unseren warmen Buden sitzen. NEIN ... mir gefällt Winter überhaupt nicht ! ...und das sage ich auch jedem der sich über Kälte und Schnee freut. Das kann man nur, wenn man sich nach einem Aufenthalt im Freien mit einer Mahlzeit und einem warmen Getränk wieder aufwärmen kann. Leider kann das keines der unendlich vielen,ungeliebten und verstossenen Wesen ...und daher bete ich,…

Even as parts of Europe remain locked in abnormal warmth in spite of the calendar’s having been turned to a fresh new year—Muscovites might be forgiven for wondering if the calendar forgot winter—parts of North America have experienced cold that has not been witnessed for almost 20 years in some places. An anonymous 16th Century writer once observed: This winter’s weather it waxeth cold, And frost it freezeth on every hill, And Boreas blows his blast so bold That all our cattle are li…

Nicht alle Katzen haben ein gemütliches und warmes Zuhause und vielleicht auch nicht genug zu essen. In dieser Jahreszeit und bei der derzeitigen Kälte verjagt bitte keine Streunerkätzchen. Wer auf seinem eigenen Grundstück Spuren findet, kann an geschützter Stelle einen Unterschlupf und Futter anbieten. Tierschutzvereine und Streunerhilfen können Eure Unterstützung brauchen. Bitte seht nicht weg! ................... „Das Wenige was du tun kannst…

Diese Bilder sind es, an die ich denken muss, wenn ich die Menschen in meinem Umfeld klagen höre über die kalten Temperaturen und den Schnee, der vor der Haustüre weggefegt werden muss, um sich danach wieder in die warme Wohnung zu begeben. So etwas nennt man Jammern auf hohem Niveau ! Dieses Foto stammt aus Ungarn... Wer wirklich leidet, sind all die notleidenden Geschöpfe die kein Zuhause haben :-( Du armer Hund , all meine liebevollen Gedanken sind bei Dir ~♥~ u…
