It is well known that the lakes in the Upper Engadine freeze at an altitude around 1800 metres in winter, and I wanted to experience this for myself. I travelled there in mid-February in the most beautiful weather - and it was far too warm for the time of year! But the Lake Sils was frozen and I - like many others - hiked across it to the mouth of the Aua da Fedoz. There, however, the lake was open and formed gorgeous ice sculptures. I just had to make sure that the ice under my feet was stable enough, a cold bath would have been a bit unpleasant...
Es ist bekannt, dass die Seen im Oberengadin auf rund 1800 Meter im Winter gefrieren, und das wollte ich einmal selber erleben. Mitte Februar bin ich bei schönstem Wetter hingereist - und es war viel zu warm für die Jahreszeit! Doch der Silsersee war zugefroren und ich bin - wie viele andere auch - darüber gewandert bis zur Flussmündung der Aua da Fedoz. Dort war der See allerdings offen und bildete wunderschöne Eisskulpturen. Ich musste beim Fotografieren nur gut aufpassen, dass das Eis unter meinen Füssen stabil genug war, ein kaltes Bad wäre etwas unangenehm gewesen...

Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, London
The Royal Arsenal at Woolwich dated from the late 17th century and at the time of the First World War covered 1,285 acres and employed close to 80,000 people. It finally closed as a factory in 1967 and the Ministry of Defence moved out in 1994. Today it is open to the public and is being redeveloped for housing and community use.
It has been discovered that Greek and Roman sculptures were often painted and quite colorful. This new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum --Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color, demonstrates how they discovered the color and recreates many such statues in color. They are striking!

The Striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum) is a small maple tree with a characteristic stripy bark. It is native to Northern America where it is also known as the Moosewood or Moose maple because moose (as well as deer and beavers) found its bark particularly tasty in winter months. Old Arboretum; Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury, South Gloucestershire, England, UK.

This dolphin sculpture is made from recycled trash found along the beaches and shorelines in the surrounding area. It is part of an exhibit commissioned by the Texas State Aquarium from local artists and groups to highlight the problem of litter, especially on the very busy beaches. To us it is just an eyesore, to sealife it can be life ending.
