Christmas, Winter and Sunset

Braved the subzero temperature on Christmas day to take pictures in the woods nearby.


I think it was worth it. Snow fall was the heaviest of the year so far and it is not every weekend i get to see snow still fluffy during Christmas.



Temperature was around -5 degree Celsius. Fingers and toes were numb, even the camera almost give up on me because the battery couldnt withstand subzero temperature.




First time ever seeing a sunset during winter time. It was spectacular.

2nd song: Chinese Instrument player

Another lovely song. This time he deserved a tips.


Merry Christmas!

Honey, can you think of something to eat?

London Outing

On the day when I was supposed to meet my friend at the airport, I went to London for a little walk in the afternoon. Regent street at Piccadilly station was closed for the entire daytime. Obviously an ideal time to shop around without worrying about traffic.


At covent garden, there were variety of activities going on like the reindeer petting.
A minor of people demonstrating of against animal slaughtering right in front of McD. So I skipped McD for awhile.
Kissing under mistletoe. and it is not free.

Street entertainers?
Giant reindeer tree. It was there last year.. spending cuts I suppose.
Who is more attractive? The one with red nose or gold nose?
Lastly, check out this fella. Very enchanting but its a shame he didn't play the entire song. He seems intimidated when I was recording him.

Winter is here

More and heavy snow is expected pretty soon...
