An Colorful Twist in a Truly British Home (London)

For kicks, I wanted to share this colorful and totally over the top English

home. I can't say that I could live in a place like this home but I certainly

would stay in a place like this as a guest or an upscale bed and breakfast.

The decor really makes me feel as if I'm in a different era.

It's like a home that belongs in a book or novel.

It has that feel and ambiance to it.

Antique furnishings paired with a super saturated Yellow.

Old paintings, vintage blankets and lamps...

Plates, vases and chests...One can tell the owner of this home is

definitely a collector. It's definitely one way to showcase everything -

cover the entire wall with collections.

Take a look at the huge arrow above the bed. If anything,

the owners are very consistent in their style and taste.

And the grand finale. This room totally looks like it comes from another

time and era. I would love visiting a room like this. I can imagine for kids,

they would be exploring all the things in the room. The floor is nearly

entirely covered with rugs of all sizes - it's really incredible. It really

transports one to another sort of reality - feels like a room from the past

and it looks like it's a room filled with history. I can't say that I'd live in a

place like this but it certainly sparks the imagination which is something

I love about it and the reason I wanted to share it.

A penny for your thoughts on this place?

10 Awesome Masterpices Of Frost

When thinking of snowflakes and frost, your memory tends to give you subtle hints: it’s translucent, abstract, beautiful and short-lived. Nothing however, can prepare you for what abstract masterpieces icy nights may bring. Flourishes of Jack Frost
’s brushstrokes envelop windscreens in fractal crystal and transform into icy autumn leaves, crystal ferns and mathematical shapes. Jack Frost is an abstract artist.

Perhaps the beauty of frost lies precisely in the fact that it is ephemeral, melting into oblivion only several hours after it is created. Frost deposits form when water vapor turns directly into ice, which happens when the air temperature is at or below freezing. When the first frost crystals form a layer, new crystals will align themselves with those already there, which gives us the amazing natural patterns we see.

This amazing shot could easily be mistaken for a close-up of a crystal vase. The detail and clarity are unbelieveable. It’s actually the windscreen of a car taken from the inside. Windscreens are more prone to frosting over because they cool much quicker than the other windows in the car. Being vertical, the side windows loose heat
at a slower rate the windscreen, which is a larger surface area and points directly into the cool night air, making it a perfect canvas for Jack Frost.

Like little Christmas trees fallen from the sky, this shot looks cool in iced blue. Trees and plants cool off by a process called radiative cooling, which means they give off energy in the form of infrared radiation
. This means they retain more heat so they don’t frost over in the same way windows do.

Wonderful natural looking landscapes are created without any direction. The patterns in this photograph look like petals of a tropical flower, and are just as fragile.

The lighting on this image gives an awesome 3D quality to the frost, but one touch and it would be gone. Still, whether touched or not, the first rays of the morning sun will melt nature’s hard word in minutes. Shame.

Taken in macro, this image shows the intricacy of frost formations, and like many others looks 3D. It also is not unlike some of the great impressionist masterpieces from the 19th century.

“We had a day of hard rain and then a sudden windy hard freeze. Made for some interesting frost patterns on the windows,” says Muffet the photographer. The wind seems to have frozen the rain in upward strokes resulting in this fantastic image. Although, it also looks like the old flock wallpaper from the 70s – not so cool.

It’s uncanny how the long arms of this frost formation are repeated in equally spaced-out chunks, like a shaft of wheat. The shape of frost crystals are influenced by the type of glass they’ve formed on, and any imperfections or scratches in the surface will play a part in the final look.

Like frosted sunflowers these frost formations look as if they’ve erupted from rain drops, their icy petals growing slowly in the cold air.

This mish-mash of crystals looks like a little like a tall ship caught in a storm
. The waves to the bottom right of the image and the masts keeling sideways. Other people will probably see something different, but then that’s the beauty of art – it’s in the eye of the beholder, as they say.
