Photobygyms,
If these lovely images are recent, I assume that you must live in the southern hemisphere! I particularly miss the frost (even ice) on trees from when I used to live in Michigan, which has long winters. I found such a photo recently on my hard drive, but unfortunately I dont think I could go straight back to it...

REMINDER
As agreed (by those who participated in the discussion!), we shall start a new thread on Sunday. As midnight does not happen at the "same time" all over the world, and as I am currently taking responsibility for starting it I shall open the new thread shortly after 11 pm Central European Summer Time (MESZ). I know this a bit early for those in the UK, at it will be 10pm there, but it is my bedtime, and one has to draw a line somewhere, as someone must have said when proposing the Greenwich Meridian as the 0° point of latitude. (For further help, 11 pm here in Central Europe is 5 pm in New York.)
I will put a note in this thread when I have created the new one. So, please look out for it and move to the new thread when you see it.

You're wrong 😆 (both were made in December 2021) I do live in the Netherlands, and winters like you mention in Michigan, did we have also, but climate change has given us winters that have higher temperatures and less snow and ice.
I am happy to be corrected!
David
We both should have winter at the same period (If you are still in Austria) 😉
I am and we do. But it is mainly a question of cold and overcast here these days; but little snow or ice -- at least not anymore in Vienna.
Dig,
I use Irfanview too. Did you ever notice that when you go to Image-Resizing, all the ratios are in the 4:3 aspect ratio?

Great photos. I especially like the second one.
The new weekly thread is now open -- here.
Thank you all for your participation here: this has been a good week for your photos and interesting comments and interactions. Let's keep up the momentum.

I'd like to share a Canon 5DII photo from 2017 taken in Japan with the Canon 5DII + 24-105mm lens! I have resumed (again) processing my older, unprocessed RAW files, after sorting through some computer issues this past week. My husband and I took a monumental trip to Japan 2017, I of course with several cameras, he returning for a reunion of an American school he had attended many decades ago. I believe we travelled the farthest, by the way, from Virginia to Japan. I have an album started on my flickr page entitled Japan 2017 with photos from Tokyo and Nikko. I today (Saturday, May20) processed and added photos from a day trip to Kamakura from Yokohama. Next up, Nara and Kyoto. This is a crop of the Daibutsu Buddha statue in Kamakura:

Sandy,
I looked around a little bit on your Flickr page. You've got some shots with people around this sculpture that show just how big this sculpture really is.

Steve, It is huge and very old. The amazing point to me is that people still can go inside and climb a long stairway! My husband was inside it when he was in junior high school. But the day we were there, it was in the high 80s F, with a long waiting line. I had no inclination to go inside a metal structure in the heat! You can see the ventilation openings in the rear or side view. I think many Japanese school kids were there on excursions.
I use FastStone Image Viewer, and I really like it.
I'm not much of a fan of IrfanView.
