The carved fishermen Ice-lanterns can date back to ancient times. It was said that some fishermen made rough & simple ice-lanterns just for lighting. With the time passed, ice-lanterns embodied their cultural features & gradually the artistic fascination of making of ice-lanterns, ice sculptures started in the 1960th, leading to today's impressive Ice & Snow Festival.

Due to the Siberian high & Harbin in the Heilongjiang Province location above 45 degrees north latitude, the city is known for having the most bitterly cold winters among major Chinese cities.

The low morning light was beautiful on the grass and weeds lining this gravel road north of Idaho Falls. I am becoming more and more convinced that there is beauty all around us. Finding that beauty is not so much traveling to it but opening our eyes and seeing the beauty in the common and simple things around us.

I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
To know our neighbors all by name
And every star at night.
We'll weave our days together like waves
And particles of light.
I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life.

Yesterday morning's post-sunrise pastels just seemed to cry out for a long exposure to bring a sense of calmness and tranquility to a gorgeous morning.
Tout simplement
M’ asseoir et regarder
Tout simplement
Cette Beauté
Comme un ravissement
De mon Corps, et de mon esprit
Dans ce lieu si joli
Où seul me dérange
Le doux chant des oiseaux
Que surtout rien ne change
Car tout ici est si beau
Domi
Simply
M 'sit and watch
Simply
This Beauty
As rapture
Of my body and my mind
In this place so beautiful
Where only bothers me
The sweet singing of birds
What especially nothing changes
Because everything here is so beautiful

Siguiendo con mi racha estelar, estas simples estrellitas, quedan de lujo "tlitando" en cualquier orejita
A simple pleasure for the squirrel is a peanut! A simple pleasure for me is being able to watch and photograph 😊
