Crystals and Flakes

Humid air rising from a warm river on a cold, still morning can form hoar frost on nearby trees and grasses. From fog to flakes to frigid frosts, we have been seeing all kinds of winter weather lately. While this freezing and thawing may be frustrating for ski hills, icefishermen, and winter drivers, it does set the stage for spotting some interesting frosty phenomena with some funny names. Most people know that water condenses during cool nights to create dew , and frost is its winter companion. Shimmering ice crystals form when water vapor in the air attaches to cold solid surfaces, crusting up your lawn and drawing delicate designs on window panes. Have you ever woken up on a cold, clear morning to find the whole world covered in a beautiful white coating of hoar frost ? These especially large and beautiful crystals form when water vapor in humid air settles on objects that are well below freezing, turning directly into a solid (a process called " deposition "), or   bec

Nije me bilo dve sedmice jer  nisam stizala da se odvojim od lap topa i crtanja,posla i tako u krug.Ali kada me je put naveo da posetim po prvi put ekskluzivnu marinu Porto Montenegro u Tivtu iskoristila sam priliku i za fotkanje. Ovo je definitivno nova IN destinacija u komsiluku koja  privlaci u Tivat kapetane ,posadu ,velike jahte kao i turiste i transformise grad u jednu od vodecih destinacija plavog Jadrana. Marina je zamisao multimilionera Pitera Manka ,koji se nada da ce njegovi planovi to podrucje pretvoriti u glamurozno i ekonomsko zariste koje ce biti velika konkurencija rivalima kao sto su Monako,Kan i Portofino.Kompleks je podeljen u pet manjih celina pod imenima : Teuta,Ozana,Zeta,Tara i Milena.Projekat je ambiciozno sastavljen i u njegovom sadrzaju se nalazi i 185 vezova koji su skoro popunjeni i rekreativnim sadrzajima kao i soping centrom ,statusom medjunarodne luke kao i kompletnim servisom za snabdevanje jahti svim mogucim potrepstinama.

Beauty and the beast

Today we are going to look for our inspiration in the past. In Vogue past precisely. Drew Barrymore  in her best fashion role on the cover of U.S. edition of the magazine "Vogue" in April 2005. year. Drew is on the cover posing with the lion, representing the fairy taile motive the story of "Beauty and the Beast." Behind the phenomenal leens of  Annie Leibovitz . The whole look and feel was responsible Codington Grace.  Tale is brought to life. Images taken by Annie Leibovitz  are stunning little works of art. Danas inspiraciju trazim u proslosti magazina "Vogue". I odusevljeno na svetlo dana iznosim editorijal uradjen za americko izdanje magazina za avgust 2005. godine. Bajka je ozivela, ispricana na raskosan modni nacin i fotografisana od strane cuvenog fotografa Ani Libovitc. Magija je rodjena. A Dru Barimor pozira u svojoj najboljoj modnoj ulozi na naslovnoj strani magazina i editorijalu pod nazivom " Lepotica i Zver". Kad
