Sparkle

There is something about Winter. I am in love with the Boston Winters as it transforms this beautiful city into a fairyland. Sunlight that reflects off mountains of snow makes the people look so warm in their bundled up clothes and cozy smiles. It is the season where you don't have to look out for reasons to cuddle up with someone you love. I truly cherish the long quiet stillness this season brings along, when I can sit and savour being myself and gather up all those memories that makes me warm.

Last year on the 11th of December an Ice Storm raged the state of Vermont knocking out power supplies to many homes for weeks. The crazy people that my family is, we drove 200 miles to capture the aftermath of nature's rage on camera. When I saw the sight before me I swear to god all I thought was - how sad it is to know that the rage that dwells inside us humans, will never ever leave behind anything as beautiful as this. Nature's rage, most of the time doesn't destroy the spirit of a man; unlike that caused by the actions of an enraged mind.
