Baker’s Craft

It’s really cool sometimes watching food get made. These honey dough snacks (I’m not really sure what they are) tasted really good. We got them freshly made 🙂

On a related note, watching pretzels get made is the best thing ever.

Happy Holidays! Don’t forget the cookies and milk for Santa 🙂

Saharan Wanderings

Riding a camel into the Sahara Desert was easily one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had. I’m not really sure if I actually believed it was happening at the time; it was like I was in this surreal world trapped in between reality and fantasy. Maybe I was overreacting a bit, but this was one of those things that I was like, yeah, I’m definitely going to do that at some point, but I never really expected to happen, at least not yet.

We rode off into the sunset (literally), and the sky gradually got darker until it was completely dark aside from the moon and the stars (and the guides’ flashlights). I liked it best at night. The darkness just made the isolation of the desert feel…more complete. I dunno. There was just something about being out in miles of sand with just the moon watching overhead.

Camping out under the stars is a great experience by itself. I love doing it even if it’s just in my own backyard. Camping under the stars in the middle of the Sahara Desert though… that was on an entirely different level.

Meet Albert, the best camel in the whole wide world.

Some people don’t like sun flares. I love them 🙂

Backlighting’s cool…

Hi.

I didn’t even remember taking this photo until it popped up on that little slideshow gadget that always plays in my desktop background, but now I totally remember it (sort of).

Icy Armor

I have no idea when or why I started spelling things British-ly. I was seriously tempted to write ‘armour’ instead of ‘armor’

Frozen in Life

First big freeze of the year 🙂 The town almost died getting out of their driveways this morning trying to get to school, it’s all good.
But seriously, it’s so cool (haha pun intended :P) there’s just a layer of ice on literally every surface outside. My trampoline had a sheet of ice on top, and of course I just had to go and shatter it. It was so awesome 😀 I felt like I was about to fall into a lake or something.

By the Light of the Sun

This was an assignment from my photography class for backlit photos. Turned out pretty good, considering the quality of my the last assignment I turned in hehe (I’ma try and forget I ever took those photos -_-)
