The tree of death! Such lush surroundings in this graveyard [my bro's buried here] and here we have this dead tree, fruitless and bare but everlasting.

and surrounded by date palm trees? Damn thats some good soil....i wonder what they use for it >>. Cough*

Gah! Hawk on the Tree of Death..looking at me..

The patch of land infront of my bro's grave. An ancient grave stone lies in the flora, the inscription is gone now but i still remember it. He was a british soldier.

Those blue crosses in the back mean the person buried gave themselves in servitude to the faith [nun and priests]

not scenic, but i certainly love it.

Awww, no one's posting in T2B's thread. So I will. I'm such a good guy, you know? :-bd

These are hot of the presses, so to speak. We are getting blasted by a rapidly advancing cold front right down from Svalbard, and an hour ago, it started pouring snow. And this is what it looked like after just a few minutes.

This is a view from the steps of my building toward our main building. Our Italian Mafia is having dinner in the seminar room. :D

And this is a view right out of my window. A bit inbetween right now. More snow would be better. Our telescope's dome is almost completely invisible.

I :x snow. Though I am not a winter sports person at all. I just love how it covers everything, makes the world soft and monochrome... :ymdaydream:
Though I've experienced global warming first-hand. Back in the eighties, when I was still into that, we sledded each winter... :ymsigh: These last two winters have been terrible, almost no snow at all, just cold and rain and bleary all the time. 2005/2006 was pretty awesome, though. It snowed in early January, then remained below freezing for three weeks. :)

Teacher2B wrote:Cold, rain and bleary...that sounds like the winters here. They are never extremely cold (for European standards), but there's always lots of wind, and that's the worst thing. These last two winters have been really cold, and it snowed a bit in some parts of the country. But not here, as I'm too near the coast. We had to suffer freezing cold without snow :((
Well, if you want to go to England... It's not much different there. All the time. :P Or so the rumors state. ;)

Gounrey!!! Atomics!!!

Watch this. I won't spoil what it is. But I wish I had been there. And I want that in full DH with 7.1 Surround and the Subwoofer from Hell.

Haha. Snow. We got... uh... I think 110 inches last winter, at least. For us, it's coming later in the year, but it's still coming. Shoveling the drive way, the snowbanks were about twice my height. My mom and sister couldn't get the snow over them, so they had to wait for me to come home on the weekends to shovel the driveway. It was like a tunnel. Most snowfall for some years. I'll get some pictures when the snow starts falling again this year. I, for one, hate winter. It's not so much fun when you have to live in it. Without heat. Or hot water. Or a snow blower. *mutters curses at Maine winters under his breath*

The first one isn't as such as story, just something from ages ago, from when my mum was still alive and when I was about 8.
It was a holiday in Scarborough, in Autumn so it was kinda cold and they have high waves then.

I hope it doesn't snow here. The last thing I want is a huge wet cold snowball to the back of my head.

But at least in school I will have a warm drink. TBH I do want to have a white Christmas. But living in a low lying town, the snow melts into rain most of the time.

Although today I did see some hail stone.
