Strange Saturday Achievements

Ok, so you know how we’re all just one click away from going down a rabbit hole? Well I’ve just been on google maps looking at the grave of Richard Burton and obviously that lead to the grave of Dylan Thomas. They are so simple, and with that simplicity was beauty and peacefulness. My rabbit hole began with the trailer for the upcoming film Mr Burton – very moving!

4 on Instagram

Every Saturday morning I go through my instagram feed for the week, this is no small endeavour!  Here is a selection of 4 – I love the way they dress their photos and their lighting is exquisite, they make me smile 🙂

SNOW!

If you know me, then you know I have a thing about snow.  I love it.  Actually, I love what is generally considered bad weather.

I also like to take photos.  There are a great many photographers out there that I wish I had but a fraction of their talent, but there is one photographer who takes the photos I’d love to take!

Meet Christophe Jacrot:  Facebook, Twitter, Website

On his site he has them all grouped – How about:

Blizzard

Melting Greenland (a sad thought for such beautiful photographs)

Winter In Town

and most recently White Iceland the photo on this page that I love is The Orange Tunnel!

this is a sample of his fantastic work:

SantaClaus – not going to make it too big – click on the links behind them holds such beautiful visions!

This is the one thing that isn’t making me smile – he had an exhibition in Paris November-ish time and we just couldn’t get over.  Hohum – I’ll just have to keep checking back just in case there’s another one.

Snow!

We’re not getting snow here this year – it’s way too mild.  Mind you it’s not very often that we do get snow so I shouldn’t be that surprised (still disappointed though).  However, there is a very cold spell happening over in Europe and Russia.  I know that snow has it’s draw backs and dangers but it is so beautiful.  Below are 2 pages of wonderful snow photos (hopefully the url will remain live as time goes on)
