It looks a touch better on black ... push L on your keyboard if you care too.

Don't forget to dress up in your swanky duds for NYE, even if you are staying home. It does a soul some good. And please drink at least one martini and one glass of champagne. People will like you more (or so it will seem). Have fun!
This is a full-res 8mp Kyoto-colorized image so dive in to see the detail, if you wish.
People ask me the brand of this sink all of the time so I thought I'd write it here to save anyone who might be interested some time. I'm pretty sure it was called Vitraform and I can't find it anywhere any more. This poor sink is badly cracked now. Glass sinks and kids don't mix well.
I had to make a smaller version of the origami cat dress, and here it is worn by the pale Powder.
For tomorrows update
Alta is closed today due to off-the-charts avalanche danger so here's a fun powder photo from yesterday.
The Powder Mills were built in 1844, a factory for making gunpowder which was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor. The buildings were widely spaced from one another for safety and the mechanical power for grinding ("incorporating") the powder was derived from waterwheels driven by a leat.
Now known as "Powdermills" or "Powder Mills", there are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built incorporating mills with central waterwheels survive well: they were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards. The ruins of a number of ancillary buildings also survive. A proving mortar—a type of small cannon used to gauge the strength of the gunpowder—used by the factory still lies by the side of the road.

A powder boy or powder monkey manned naval artillery guns as a member of a ship's crew, primarily during the Age of Sail in the mid 1790s. Their chief role was to ferry gunpowder from the powder magazine in the ship's hold to the cannon on the gun decks. The function was usually fulfilled by boy seamen of 12 to 14 years of age, selected for the job because of their speed and low stature. They were small, very agile, and could move at great speed in the limited space between decks. photo Illustration generated by Leonardo.ai

After about a month without any significant snow, a real storm is moving in today. While I love skiing fast on groomers, skiing powder is my favorite thing in the whole world. I'm looking forward to getting some snow on my face.
Thought I had better post something this week as I have been awol again. Apologies for that, just been so busy that my flickr time is pretty limited right now.
Good news, an image of mine has been featured in a rather posh designer furniture book, the designer (Mark Wilkinson) creates the most amazing and desirable kitchens, bathrooms and offices for the rich and famous. So who knows maybe someone famous will look me up now!!
This is one of the original city gates, dating to the 11th century. It separates the Old Town from the New Town and 13 original city gates in Old Town. It gets its name from storing gunpowder in the 17th century.
This is an older shot I took a few seasons back. I was asked to rework it for a company that used it and decided to repost this version (as it nicely highlights the powder we consistently get in Niseko during the Season!).
