Starting with daughter Joanna in Newcastle, and going around the globe, there have been complaints about the photo quality on my blogs. So I borrowed a camera from Pailin and have taken some shots of the snow creations of Annikki this winter, and just in time.
The warm rains of today may wipe out her work by tomorrow morning.
The Laplander and the Kota (Finnish Laplander's Wigwam) are truly outstanding creations.
The boat and the lighthouse are also fascinating. The candle lights look glorious in the night in this garden. Annikki has a clear mind as to where each candle and lamp should be.
The melting snow has a way of twisting, as can be seen from this shot of the snow on the bridge arm.
Iitu, our 15 year old cat, was most intrigued to know why the two of us were in the cold winter garden and came out to draw our attention - she climbed the Thai pergola leg in desperation to make us notice her.
The berry tree was in a fascinating state with snow and icicles. The snow covered tree against the night sky was a great sight.
Annikki may not have much time for the next month to create any new snow artworks, but expect to see some more later on during this winter.
Annikki and Jacob Matthan live in Oulu, Finland. Annikki is a Finn, Jacob an Indian. They are the founders of the Findians Movement way back in 1967. Both are now retired. They have been married for 57 years. This blog is an account of their lives and thoughts as reminiscenced through Annikki's and Jacob's eyes.
