Grey that you could say about today.

Richard Schmid would love this light and he's right light isn't

changing, the colour receding quite naturally and you palette is

brilliant lit. All in one perfect weren't it for the drizzle.

Skaters heaven

One thing that I really like is my MP3 player.

Especially when painting on these kinds of spots.

There was nobody around and looking at the track there

where not that many on it since it was frozen over.

The ice was soo fresh and awesomely black it cracked

while walking on it, ... thats where the MP3 player is

a great gadget, turn up the volume and you arn't that

chocked anymore when the cracking sound is very loud.

new home!! New ground to cover!!!
