another panorama from Iceland today, the view of Hvannadalshnúkur on the way back from Svartifoss

stitched from ~21 images, lucky to have a bird fly through one of them
#photography #landscape
panoramic view of a mountain landscape, green ridges and craggy rock face gives way to clouds and glacier at the top, which can also been seen emptying out at the base of the mountain, which overlooks an expansive flat plane. A single bird flies towards the mountain. (Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland)

That same view of Jokulsarlon only 25 minutes later, clouds formed just right to go all magenta like this.

these ones don't seem to mind the cold at all, the snow should give a sense of scale for these, they're tiny

something a little different from me, one of my older pictures, from UMBC almost 10 years ago, happened to catch the moon lining up with this glass meeting room at the top of the admin building. koyaanisqatsi mood.

Don't have many slimes left to post from this year, here's this one I found towards the end of the summer, already dried out. There's an ant checking it out if you look close.

some mushrooms for #fungifriday, featuring what appears to be some mycelium making a run for it

Anybody know what I'm looking at here? They seem to be growing out of buds but look strange for a flower or seed.
