In addition…
…to Monday’s post about Snow, Snow and more Snow, here are a few pictures that my Venetian cousins sent of Venice sadly under water but beautiful with a dusting of snow. There’s lots of snow going around. A music link to Patricia Snyder’s Snowbound to Kick Start Your Weekend, as we’ll be digging out: http://patriciasnydermusic.com/audio/snyder-snowbound-02.mp3 I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be skiing during this blizzard: Here’s an art opportunity that I wanted to mention before it’s too late. The City of Seattle is looking for artists to paint murals on 46th Street. Click on this Fremont Universe link for details. Applications are due by February 19th.
Copenhagen
I’m just now getting a chance to post pictures from my husband’s trip to Copenhagen for the COP15 conference. You’ll see from many of them, except for the inside of the Global Warming Climate Conference, how bitter cold it was outside. His hotel was right near Tivoli, the famous amusement park and gardens: Evidently, eating hot nuts, often found on street stands, is the thing to do in Denmark. Luckily he was able to take an excursion to Helsinger, which is where Kronborg castle also known as Hamlet’s castle, Elsinor, is located. I like how dramatic yet sparsely decorated the interiors are. Peter says they are really into Christmas in…
Blizzard
The blizzard of 2009 took us by surprise — before winter even officially began. Here’s a follow up to my previous Christmas post with pictures with all the snow, and what to do with it. And my older son, Piers, with his college-age buddies built a snow monster to rival the neighbor’s snowman across the street. Nice to know they’re not too old for this.
