Looks incredibly similar to some places in Umeå, so strange Strange. Lots of oaks here, you don't have those. What pics in particular? Oh I wasn't referring to exact tree species, more the general appearance. Dense growth of thin spindly deciduous trees that look similar enough to our birches, bird cherries and sallow trees, and then in some images these deciduous trees are interspersed with large pine trees. Honestly pretty much all images look like they could've been taken in a couple of places in Umeå.

Flanners Beach, part of the Croatan Nat'l Forest this afternoon. Temp was approx. 74°F with dewpoints in the 66-68°F range. Pine growth along the banks of the Neuse River. Note the cumuliform clouds been cleared by the weak seabreeze

It’s been a week since Snowpocalypse Winter 2024 ended and daytime temps went back to the normal 40s and low 50s F

Couple pics from Fontainebleau, about 50 km SE of Paris. 9/-3°C (49/27°F) and high ceiling today. Flanners Beach, part of the Croatan Nat'l Forest this afternoon. Temp was approx. 74°F with dewpoints in the 66-68°F range.
Those are dews I associate with high summer. Hard to imagine such humidity looking at pics of bare trees.

Yep, sunny warmth in the middle of winter is rather atypical with 60s dewpoints too, felt much more like a spring day except with bare trees and not much blooming. Absolutely rediculous warmth, I had an 80°F high at my home PWS earlier that afternoon (AP 81°F, 1°F short of the Jan record high).

And I was on a trip. This trip was to Serbia, Belgrade. The place where the Sava river flows into the Danube. Sava is on the left, Danube is behind. Saturday, in the park near the fortress. Temperature was about 14c, so it is above average.

February has been a beautiful summer month so far here in Tamaki Makaurau. Highs in the mid 20s, more sunshine and less humidity than January .

I don't think I've ever seen this before. It's like there are small icicle balls at the end of each twig. Yesterday there was super thick frost/snow on the tree twigs and it must've melted into icicles in the sun. Every tree is like this.

Jiri to Lukla This section of Jiri to Lukla is much less travelled than further up the trails; where new bus routes and upgraded airport capacities have allowed for more frequent and easier access at locations that are closer to the main passes. Me and my mate had the time available and wanted to experience a quieter side of Nepalese hiking. I loved this section so much that I am definitely going to go back and do more lowland hiking (if the opportunity presents itself). November 22, 2023 Jiri main street. Arrived from Kathmandu around 2pm, a fairly un-bumpy bus for a Nepalese trip! November 23, 2023 A sunny, cool morning becoming fairly warm and breezy NE (from memory, around 16-18C) Walked up a series of local steps onto a ridgeline with splendid views to the south. Over the ridge to the northern flank, first look at the mighty Himalayan peaks. Back into the valley with a short, steep 500-600m descent. The bridge to enter Shivalaya. A 1000m+ ascent to Deurali pass, stayed at the top where it was cold, windy and foggy! View easterly to the next days walk November 24th: A sunny, pleasant day with my mate who was whinging due to cardio, had to persuade him fairly harshly to keep going lol (he had a knee injury he had not disclosed to anyone and had not sorted treatment so I was pissed off at that rather the cardio which he would naturally develop over the first few days). Flat and following a major river Lamjura La, this pass takes 1-1.5 days to climb and you stay halfway up. Pretty much a 2000m ascent. Sometime in the afternoon of the 24th. November 25th Lamjura La ascent, beautiful forests (Rhodehedron?) First snow as we approached the pass (3500m ish) A 900m descent down to junbesi: Beautiful forests Cloud moving in as we approached Junbesi, its very common for afternoons to become quite cloudy, and hills/mountains to be shrouded in cloud. After a long day we settled into a tiny village, clocked in fog and the darkening of the little landscape we could see in the fading evening light; I grabbed a large dinner and got into my sleeping bag to keep warm. I'll post days 4-6 to Lukla this afternoon.
