no crazy skiing outfits this week although i am staying in the mountains. Its landscapes this week and i love landscapes. i dont know that im the best at capturing them on camera but I love that feeling of space. Looking out on an open vista. It doesn't have to necessarily be mountains. I remember years ago being on a train going through the prairies of Saskatchewan in Canada. Although it is so flat there just the feeling of infinity, miles and miles of earth sweeping away from under you off as far as you can see. No end. Space.
This shot was taken from the top station of the resort we were staying in. Looking down the valley. I think i took this on the extra day skiing we had when a certain Icelandic cloud put a stop to all movement round Europe and everything was still for a while. The bright snow reflecting the warm sun on to our faces and that amazing feeling you get when you marvel at how small you are and just how incredible the world around us is. One of my other favourite things about being here?
If you listen you can hear it.
