I was torn between the one of snow (it is so hot and humid here in the midwest and has been for far too long) or the one of water- also cooling but not quite as emphatic as the snow. I finally went with water because the photo was taken on the water - when we were in southern Chile visiting the glaciers. I wish there was sound on this photo because the sound of the glaciers calving is quite impressive.
However the reason I took this photo was the amazing layering of color on the ice floe I still remember it clearly despite the trip having been 13 years ago now...
and here is another of the magnificent views we had on that trip- this one from our hotel room at the Explora Lodge in Torres del Paine...
and, since I have been in email communication with our guide for our upcoming trip to the Baltics and Scandinavia (with St Petersburg) and he is from St. Petersburg I thought I would cull a few Russian favorites as well just because they were there in the same folder...
these next photos are from St Isaac's in Petersburg- stunningly beautiful church...
there are people in the lower left - to give you the perspective of how large and dense the white birch are there...
a memorial to those jailed and executed under Stalin
the famous GUM - shopping is Moscow-
this post was just an aside- a Monday morning musing about revisiting old "friends" in my photo archives...
