Frosted Figurine

 

Such exquisite detail. What lifelike touches. A masterpiece of accumulation. The above photo first appeared in an 1892 edition of Strand Magazine (yes, Sherlock Holmes lovers, THAT Strand Magazine.) Folks back then understood and appreciated the aesthetic possibilities of snowfall.

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)

If I was in--Huh?

Never mind.

The City of Angels.
