Sonja's dawn

I know a woman, Sonja W., who was born far more fearless and with far greater fortitude than I. She's a scientist who does things like choose to spend the entire winter in Greenland collecting snow samples, living in a small underground bunker that has to be shoveled out every day. This is her idea of a fun job.

So, this is "Sonja's dawn." (It's hard already to photograph pastels, but photographing really subtle ones...that's something I think I'd need to get a master's degree in.)




Happy happy sunny day. Blissed-out kitten.

Sonja's bunker: Fascinating, atmospheric, suffocating, isolation - although I'm sure she sees it as freedom. Great work Jala.

Wow, I love this one Jala! What a beautful glow, expressed perfectly with neither too little or too much. I want to be a friend of minimalism, too!!!
