last weeks of 2011

i know we say this every year, but they do seem to be going faster! i guess it's an age + time thing, as i mentioned earlier to someone, we're not spring chickens anymore ha

it is starting to feel christmasy, with the smell of pine trees outside my building, roasting chestnuts + the cooler weather to wrap up in. had a gingerbread latte today + decorated a christmas tree, haven't written any christmas cards yet, but will definitely get on to them soon. postal dates + deadlines are looming, some have passed already eek!

here's the calendar for this festive month. it was coincidentally taken on christmas eve in oxford. though the camera work is debatable, from recent photography lectures, you have to put yourself in the photographer's position + try to understand what they were thinking to appreciate the image. train tracks on a cold winter's night creating a nostalgic feeling, of holidays + travels far away, of new beginnings + fond memories, a journey to share + sometimes to go at alone. being unfocused draws upon emotions, perhaps a teary blurred vision or even the speed at which one is traveling. or more likely, it was just poor lighting + cold shakey hands!

happy holidays wherever you may be spending them!
