Love this lamp, it's an old one, the one's he makes now are much more elaborate and colourful, but the simplicity of this one suits my yoga space wonderfully.

So glad I was able to get up the mountain this evening.  I had the afternoon off, and the sun was out so I raced up the mountain to catch the last rays on the snow.

Through the mountains and rice field, snow makes everything even more beautiful.  The mountains seem so peaceful with snow.

New Camera

Finally a manual camera, I love taking pictures in low light, and picked up a Sony M, the reviews were all terrible, but I couldn't resist the price.  First walk out in the snow through the neighbourhood temple garden.
