Title: Winter is here
Post by: MattBurt on December 19, 2020, 11:43:30 am: It feels pretty real now although the snow is still pretty thin. Cold temps are preserving what we have and making ice.

Thanks! (to Russ and Eric too)
That's Saturn and Jupiter on their way to Monday's "Great Convergence".
Check it out in the SW sky 45 minutes after sunset. The moon won't be as nice but they will only get this close once in our lifetimes.
I love this stuff. :)

I agree, beautiful warm colours, but at the same time the image portrays how cold it is, great work Matt ;)

Most important. For me, the true four-season cycle is all-important.
