It looks like one could walk off the edge of the world in that picture probably because the horizon is rounded and the pier goes right out towards it.

I'm glad the pictures are back. I missed them

Perhaps.
This is something you see quite a lot of in winter, or spring-winter. Heather or sometimes trees pushing up through the snow?
They're not pushing through (it's from mid-January this year), the snow has just stuck like that. And yes, this look can get more pronounced as the snow layer starts to diminish and compress.
So no human hand created these mounds. I had some idea of childrem playing in the snow as they play with sand. I hope you have made an album with these studies of snow patterns.

I certainly see how you might think of children doing something like this. There would be a massive amount of footprints, though.
In the sense of a flickr 'album', yes I have: https://www.flickr.com/photos/janace...57661309667743
Actually I meant a book, if there was enough material, but I donīt know if foto books are still in use.
From the filckr serie I prefer Solitude II, maybe because it is the less lonesome. The stalks bear each other company.

Of course I knew you meant a printed album. It will be some time before I'll be getting into printing, but I will get into it, eventually.
A smaller percentage of photographs is printed nowadays than ever before, I'd guess. But it might still also be that more photographs are printed than ever before.
No. II does certainly stand out for being more crowded than the others. Now, as for what you say about the talks bearing each other company, all this is something I don't think I thought of at all when making these photographs, but I don't know if the stalks look like they are any less alone in the crowd. But that's just us reflecting our own associations of being in crowds, I think.

What is it that grows out of the snow, is it new birch, or what? I remember seeing this outside our house, but can't remember what it was earlier in the winter, it could also be heather or soft fruit, like blackcurrents.
To be sure, one can be very lonely in a crowd. As I never saw real snow maybe I didnīt realise before the isolating effect of a coat of snow.

More associations: a rather irregular birthday cake and what looks like a person or a puppet in front of one of the mounds.
