One of my favorite compositions from last fall. I thought it was worth another look :)
Warmth & Cards
Sometimes the simple things in life are all you need. Such as warmth and a game of cards with good friends. Composed and taken at Vance's Cabin in the Colorado backcountry in the dead of winter at 11,000' on a snowy night. Warmth indeed!
The Memorial of Jan Palach
Jan Palach was a Czech student who was part of a movement to protest the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. He signed a suicide pact with other students to protest the invasion by the Soviets. Although he was one of the few who actually went through with the pact, his death set off a flurry of anti-Soviet activity over the next two decades. Finally in 1989 during 'Jan Palach Week', the demonstrations escalated and were one of the catalysts for the fall of the communism soon after. This memorial lies in Wencelas Square in current day Prague, Czech Republic. It never ceases to amaze me the things I have come across in my travels. I hope you enjoy this picture and it's significant part in history...
