This is just one of the many props I have at my studio- I also have other scenes available and can shoot wherever you like.
It is in village Cha, a very remote place in Zanskar. Entire Zanskar remains cut off from the mainland during November to April and in winter temperature drops below minus 50 deg celcius,
Stocking food, fodder and woods is essential for survival.

Ramu Chaudhury , a carpenter by profession was applying a fresh coating of tar on his country made boat which he uses it in his off time for fishing . He said that he bought it for Rs 10,000/- from some fisherman who left for his village where he will make a new one for the approaching monsoon season.

Ice and snow slowly transition to liquid water in a small, shallow tarn high above the Innvikfjorden and the town of Loen, Norway.
The climb up a different fjord on the previous day was significant enough that some in our party balked at repeating the effort so soon on its heels, so on this day we elected to plonk down our kroners and enjoy an effortless ride to the top of the Innvikfjorden via the Loen Skylift. The Skylift is a large gondola supported by only two towers, one at the beginning and one at the end. On the ride up, the angle of the lines is such that one is essentially hauled straight up a good portion of the cliff, providing quite a sensation of the heights. The top of the Skylift has a restaurant with an extraordinary view, and a ledge frequented by people wearing squirrel wingsuits to launch into the void, for what must be the mother of all adrenaline rushes. We witnessed several people preparing to make the leap, and I cannot say I was inspired to attempt such foolishness myself.
Seeking adventures on a somewhat less exciting scale, I had it in mind to walk up one of the peaks that is several kilometers from the top of the Skylift. Not long after setting off, we encountered more or less continuous snow cover, and it was clear that the route to the peak I wanted to ascend was steep and snowy enough that it would be dangerous without axe and crampons. Lacking such helpful instruments, I noticed a rock band that looked possible to climb up and around the steepest of the snow, but my wife put her foot down firmly and informed me she was not at all interested in such things, but that I was welcome to head up myself if I wanted. My two boys also demurred. Feeling that common sense might be percolating through the rest of my family, I gave up the idea and we set our sights on a somewhat closer, and reasonably safer overlook in a different direction. Along the way I discovered this small tarn, and I was captivated by the abrupt phase transition from solid to liquid that divides the frame.

Oso and Bernard are preparing for their fishing vacation to Alaska. Oso knitted herself this hat (actually by the wonderful Jiajia) to get ready for the cold weather. :)
(This will actually be how Oso meets Dolce. Dolce is an Inuit.)

House of Fraser, within the Chapelfield Shopping Complex in Norwich reminded me of a rocket about to be blasted into space. Must have been something in my coffee!
Here's a Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus). It likes to take the food it has found and dunk it in the neighbours gutter. It leaves it there until it is soft enough to eat. Clever Bird! Depending on what it is will determine how long it's left in the water! Clever Bird!
The House of Manannan is a museum in Peel in the Isle of Man. It is named after the "great mythological sea god" Manannan and covers the island's Celtic, Viking, and Maritime history.
Not quite sure how I avoided too much lens blur in this one from my vaults.
Back to reality at home in the garden. A light snack I think, this small beetle caught in the web of the Orb Web spider.

Next up will be the talent show with daring feats, magic tricks, turkey's dancing, umm, sorry that should be Turkish dancing and singing.
Then there will be fireworks over the water followed by music and dancing.
All welcome.

VICTORIAN EDWARDIAN AMERICAN THEMED SIM. It is somewhere in time, being 1890-1914. All welcome.
My wife and I were up early and out driving during our latest snowstorm when it got light enough to see without car lights. The forested scenes a few miles from our small town were at their best and places we had visited just a few weeks ago when they were dressed in their fall finest colors were now like scenes from Switzerland. I donned my Sorel boots to wade down the ditch to snap this lovely scene.
