The fourth picture is a little confusing. In 2013 I had traveled to Bali for Christmas vacation but I will post some winter pictures of where I am now soon! 

three picture from Pauingassi and one from Bali when I was on a holiday

Presently I am living in a very remote northern Manitoba location and I am teaching Grade 1 and 2 full time and doing some art work on the weekends. The temperature is much the same as Winnipeg where I also have a home. The snow here is quite beautiful. I love the sound of my boots making crunching noises as I walk and I hear their echo following me and making me believe there is someone close behind me when actually there is no one.The snow is clean and does not have the dirt and grime that city streets have when the plow builds hills of scraped up snow and the warmth of the pavement from cars melts the snow and makes brown slush.
The community here is very small and numbering about 600 and the complete opposite of when I was living in Dhaka, Bangladesh and their streets were overflowing with pedestrians and rickshaws and wagons and vehicles of every sort imaginable. Yet in both places the people I meet as I walk to the  chosen store are polite and courteous.Of course there are only two stores here- the Northern and Dojos.
