For that guys at Neumayer-Station, the theme shall be "winter"...

Sounds like a good theme, with appropriate climatic adaptations! Thanks!

Let me see if I can translate it to something I could understand:
00:15 - 00:00, right?

So they close at midnight on Sunday for 15 minutes?

That's my take. Maybe they do the defrost cycle then.

Not saying it's my entry, but this is where spring's at around here:

I like how the sunlight filters through the fresh birch leaves.

Brought out grass seeds to fill the wholes in the lawn 12 days ago. Daily rain since then and they are sprouting already.

This is too creepy not to share!



Definitely a spring thing!

Birches produce loads of sap in early spring (just before the buds start opening) - it is even harvested, a small incision or a broken twig is enough to get bottles full of it.

So sometimes a tree gets cut around this time of the year, and the sap releasing happens all across the cut, a huge surface compared to a small incision! This one must have been oozing for weeks, with the weather getting constantly warmer. It was quite smelly.

My may entry. No snow, clear streets except for gasolin/bensin/fuel/petrol whatever the proper name for it. Oil this is not.

Taken with Moto g8, LineageOs 18.1, default cam. Slightly cropped, darkened and sharpened.

OK, here is my entry. Freshly shot today:

Pro1 SailfishOs standard camera app. slightly cropped and added some sharpness and local contrast with darktable.
