This part of the world is decked in heavy frost which catches the light, glittering and sparkling as you walk by. So this week’s theme is dedicated to everything that shimmers. It is also dedicated to the memory of Vladimir Brezina from windagainstcurrent.com who made the world shimmer brighter when he was in it. First up, a shimmering Fasching mask in Aachen.
Sequinned hearts shimmer on Seattle’s very special Holiday Tree.
Sunlight glinting off the lake waters of Atitlan in Guatemala.
Frost-covered foliage on a wintry walk in Ireland.
A stunning sculpture called Fluent Steps by Martin Blank, located outside the Tacoma Museum of Glass.
