A lovely Christmas Day walk in some amazing light.

Sunlight breaks through heavy clouds over a mountainous landscape, casting dramatic golden rays across a lake and forested hills below. The lake is Ullswater in the English Lake District.

As an NZ immigrant I can confirm it is not better, just different. Xmas is nowhere near as hyped there which is both less stressful and less Chrismassy. It is a novelty being able to spend Xmas at the beach/lake/river but I'd still choose a cold Xmas every time!

Consumer PSA:
A lot of stores will advertise an Xmas tree,
but the package actually *contains* a Ymas tree.

DON'T BE FOOLED.

Three panels: an Xmas tree where a christmas tree is aligned along the X axis of a graph, then a Ymas tree, the same but aligned vertically, and a Zmas tree showing the third axis in the 3-D projection.

Stolen from the Internet.

Nerd fact (I’m a marine biologist after all), when luciferin and luciferase (gotta love the biblical names) join together, they react with the oxygen in the air to make an oxidised complex. After that, luciferin emits a photon, and that is what you see when it breaks

Awesome cloud formations today in Aotearoa NZ

Sea below, clouds above concealing sun - giving light play, with smaller clouds looking like rays emanating from the bigger clouds. Colours predominantly grey with a little blue peeping through the sky. Sorry quite hard to describe ♥️
