Where is winter?













So - where is winter?

I wouldn't mind a crisp, clear, cold november-day that slowly turns itself into a misty, snow-filled afternoon. I don't mind mild weather, but now - now it is time to skate ( Motorpsycho said that ) and now it is about time us looking out the windows seeing a snow-covered, white and pure landscape ( I said that ). As mentioned - I don't mind mild weather, but the dark surrounding us at this time of the year is in need of a contrasting white ground.

Anyway, nobody can do anything about the weather - at least so we say - however, we have probably already done too much about it. Then again, maybe it is not too late doing some more (read: less) - at least something better and with a little bit of care for the times ahead? We could spend less, re-cycle more efficiently, re-use and take better care of our belongings - and be critical about what we purchase. Every time! Every single time. Does everything have to be new? Does everything have to be bigger, better, more expensive... enough about that, here are some
