- The peaceful, natural rhythms depicted in the short video “Winter in Lofoten” by Tommaso Maiocchi showcase the beauty of the season in the Lofoten Islands in Norway.
- Winter reflection from Robert Frost, whose beloved poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” entered the public domain on New Year’s Day:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. - “Miracles of Geometry – The Beauty of a Snowflake” presents a close-up view of intricate and varied snowflakes, courtesy of Moscow-based photographer Alexey Kljatov. The photos were taken from the balcony of Kljatov’s home using ingenuity and basic camera equipment.
