But I hope not the good things you do @Kirkie.All good things come to an end.
It is that time of the year again... today out on the lakes ... not really a "walk" I know
Ditto, they seem to be videos...When I click on your pictures I get a black space.
On my Pixel what happened was that the phone downloaded the video files (.mov format). I then found them with a file manager app and clicked the filename there and indicated what app to view them with.When I click on your pictures I get a black space.

No problem, and when Rick is on the lookout, there is always a solution! You live on an edge I am half envious of...thank you for sharing a window into your place...Sorry for causing this kind of hassle! Maybe videos are not the right thing for this forum. Looks fine on my browsers, but then again that is on a laptop, not on a mobile device (although, technically, my laptop is rather mobile)
It also looks fine on my Android phone and Peg's Chromebook. I think the situation is that these devices use operating systems supplied by Google and .mov format files are an Apple thing. So I think Google takes a let's be safe approach and just downloads the files and lets the user choose an app to display the files rather than having the operating system do it. I found a .mp4 format video linked to in a post and my phone showed it immediately.Sorry for causing this kind of hassle! Maybe videos are not the right thing for this forum.

Thank you, yes I know it is exotic for most of us and hence I throw in some post from time to time. But I will stick mostly to still images againNo problem, and when Rick is on the lookout, there is always a solution!

so maybe I should export to mp4 first ...It also looks fine on my Android phone and Peg's Chromebook.

I have no idea how devices running Linux, Apple and Microsoft operating systems handle these videos though.
Probably that would be best. I think most YouTube videos are in the mp4 format and are easily handled by all PCs and mobiles. Another problem with mov files having to be downloaded, besides having to know how to show them, is that they are left in the file system unless manually deleted. If the brower can handle them they will end up in cache and eventually deleted as more files come in.so maybe I should export to mp4 first ...
Snow Dog sled movie. Both movie clips opened as normal for me. Iphone13 plus.It is that time of the year again... today out on the lakes ... not really a "walk" I know
No, the videos are so evocative! We too are behind the screen! those beautiful dogs are very loyal, else why would they pull you along?Thank you, yes I know it is exotic for most of us and hence I throw in some post from time to time. But I will stick mostly to still images again
Are you by chance implying that I gained too much weight?No, the videos are so evocative! We too are behind the screen! those beautiful dogs are very loyal, else why would they pull you along?
Absolutely not! Just that they are there to respond to your command!Are you by chance implying that I gained too much weight?
I was just kiddingAbsolutely not! Just that they are there to respond to your command!

Hi there @Arctic_Alex ... when walking through the Baltic states I noticed the colour pink used a lot in portraiture and landscape paintings. Is it like this with Swedish art? Growing up in the southern hemisphere, I wasn't familiar with art suffused in pink. The old prints in art books which my mother collected were often tinged with blue or green -a bit morbid and drab, either that or brightly coloured in strong light....A couple of colourful images from this morning's walk around the house ;-) -18°C, but it is supposed to get warmer to around freezing point later today.
I am not sure about Sweden as a whole, but up North at least in landscape painting pink seemingly was used more prominently than in say paintings from Germany from the same period.Hi there @Arctic_Alex ... when walking through the Baltic states I noticed the colour pink used a lot in portraiture and landscape paintings.

... that's what I was thinking, tooI am not sure about Sweden as a whole, but up North at least in landscape painting pink seemingly was used more prominently than in say paintings from Germany from the same period.
In winter times often pastel variants of turquoise, rose and pink are a common sight in the sky, especially when it is very cold. So my take would be that people simply were more aware of these colours as they saw them so often and hence they were used more often, not just when it comes to winter landscapes.
I must state, this is pure speculation!
But still most usage of those colours appears in winter paintings. ... but then again I have no real statistics... that's what I was thinking, too

Just to add for others to see how the northern lights can look like... that's what I was thinking, too
Thank you, that is true! The strong ones can come with shades of red/pink as wellJust to add for others to see how the northern lights can look like

Such beautiful walking near Dublin - I’ve walked some of these trails. Maybe a bit cold there now though ?the Wicklow Way
Yes, some lovely walking trails, and quite accessible from the city! We're lucky, we don't normally get extremes of temperature winter or summer.. I think today was around 8°c, though with the wind and rain soaking it felt a lot colder, typical for December..Such beautiful walking near Dublin - I’ve walked some of these trails.

When you click the video... it will be a blank space while it loads... so just be patient (for how long, that depends on your interest speed)... once it has loaded you should see a play button to play the video.Ditto, they seem to be videos...

As I called it above, it is the cozy corner where people can relax, drink coffee an dream of distant placesAnd then it stopped raining so a stroll around the block.
Thank you all for the wonderful contributions this year from all around the globe.
It was a joy to view and read them.

If ok for everyone I will ask the mods tomorrow to close this thread and I will start a new one for 2024!
Aside from resizing some pictures I guess the mods did not have to intervene much! Good!
