Believe it or not, this is late spring / early summer in Ushuaia.  You can just make out the city across the Beagle Channel to the right on the coast.  The clouds rolled in from the south (which in this case, the next landmass is Antartica) and it started to snow (this would be like late May in Europe).  We were on a yacht and the boat was at a constant 30 degree angle as we sped across the waves back to town.  It was unbelievably cold and all of the passengers were required to stay on deck.

On the plus side, the wildlife we had travelled over to see did not seem to care about the impending storm.

I awoke well before dawn on my penultimate day in Mallorca this summer.  I wanted the experience the serenity one finds at the birth of a new day, surrounded by nature.  My home town of Singapore does have many green spaces but they are a patch of nature juxtaposed against the greyness of manmade objects.  I was craving for the antithesis.

A yacht had moored the previous night and bobbed gently on the rising tide as the first light of day bathed the foreground in a rich golden light. The moon was cradled amongst the wisps of cloud as they glided silently across the sky overhead, travelling on the a light breeze, which rustled the branches ever so slightly.

I think this is going to be my go to calm place for this year.
