Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2025?

[SabsP]

Loooking forward to everyone's pictures in this new year.
Thumbnails of the pictures are always ok.

I started with a small local round of 3.3 km.
Send us some sun please!

Very windy and grey.
Unfortunately some abandonded firework. Though strictly forbidden people still take huge risks.

Happy New Year everyone.
We were out on the ice tonight and had a quiet start into the new year. Just Nature's very own fireworks.
So as this counts as a walk I guess it suits to post it here

While I condemn breaking the rules and potentially disturb wildlife with fireworks .... it is so much worse to actually leave behind the rubbish created. I do not understand people. Even if you are too drunk to take care of your stuff at night you can always can come back the next morning and clean up.

A 12 km walk this morning because the dense fog of the past few days has disappeared and the sun came out. The dense fog is very bizarre as in this area,we usually have sunny or gray skies.

A nice little sunrise 10k in sunny (but chilly) Florida

Thank you, @SabsP !
And happy New Year to all!

Haha, not if you were too sloshed to remember anything.

Rain and strong wind in the far North of Holland today. I'm not the least tempted to go out there this afternoon, so I will walk inside, back and forth.

Hours before 2025, just missed the end of the 2024 thread Photos from my Christmas Eve walk along the trails of the Alaksen National Wildlife Area. I've been walking in this area for a few years and just today discovered an interior trail that I didn't know existed! Along the river path I always enjoy a view of my village across the north arm of the mighty Fraser River. A beautiful Golden-crowned Kinglet landed very close and thoroughly checked out the tree for a few minutes before continuing on its way.

Luckily we live 15 minutes from the Royal National Park Sydney!
Happy New Year to everyone and a Buen Camino wherever you walk.

Day 1 January - new year 2025. Deserves a new Trail. ( although they all look a bit the same out of Las Vegas -ie red rock and spiky plants). The reddish round spiky guys are called California Barrel cactus. The walk wasn’t long in distance but it was interesting stopping to check out the variety of rocks everywhere and wonder how they arrived on the scene.

...white-out followed by a blue sky! A cold cold walk...


Le crépuscule... 01/01/2025...Bonne Année!

I could upload scenic photos of the landscape, but this is the one that brought me the most joy on my morning walk. All the agricultural and domestic waste outside the neighbouring cattle sheds — shredded silage wrap, torn fertiliser bags, scrap metal, tractor tyres, broken buckets, rubber gloves, used syringes, chemical containers, old fridge-freezer, kitchen cabinets, toys etc. — has been removed. The culprit is unlikely to reoffend.

This is where I walked today.

 

[VNwalking]

A fabulous 14km on Schiermonikoog, one of the West Frisian Islands. It was not warm...but after awful weather yesterday, we had the first sun in a week.
More birds than you can shake a stick at...and a beautiful sky rom beginning to end.

I have pics but don't know where they are of a very pleasant walk along the former Erie Canal towpath in central New York. Some of them include similar "long-term residents."

Here's a pic on the Coventry Canal from Birmingham to Coventry and beyond. Somewhere on an unmaintained section, the brush shoved me and my bicycle into the canal. My laptop still worked, but couldn't be recharged after that. Later, an interesting marker when I arrived in Oxford.
The forum software insists that the only place to insert is inside Kirkie's quote. But you can click on them to see the full images.

Snow this night and then this morning thaw and rain. Masses of rain. The whole 7.5 km. And wind!
The pictures are not streams but roads completely saturated.
Done for the day!

 

[Arctic_Alex]

I need to apologize sincerely for
1. posting aurora shots yet again ...
2. for using my old iphone as a camera resulting in horrible image quality
Tose were taken 15 minutes ago on a short evening walk behind the house ... out onto the ice in sub -30°C (-22F). Now enjoying a coffee at the fireplace

Chilly hounds up the fell today.

Awwww. No jackets? They look sooo cold.

 

[VNwalking]

No snow here in Northern Holland, but spitting and (literally) blowing a gale.
A bit less than 6km, and near the end treated for just a few minutes to a double rainbow, before the setting sun disappeared again.
