2. Isn't it gorgeous?
The photographer used a processing technique called HDR (high dynamic range) - when I try it on my photos they look like dog poo. :shrug:

7. Amazing... if you hadn't said "photo" in the title I would have thought
it had been done with pencil/charcoal. The technique they used is very cool and the fact that they used black and white really adds to the subject matter.

13. I had forgotten how snowy it was that day.
We were toasty and warm inside sipping champagne and eating brie.
