snow

Man I miss the snow so much.
This was taken from the ski lift on a cloudy day, where you can see the sun trying to poke out.
Bliss.

therme vals
























I was lucky enough to visit this beautiful bath in January.
It is designed by Peter Zumthor and we spent about 6 months at uni learning about it and talking about how brilliant it is - so it was really great to see it for real.
It took 3 hours by trainn (from Zurich) and then a half hour bus trip along a winding road, mostly on a cliff face, to get there.
But it was so worth it.

I want to leave!

On a train in Switzerland
I thought the translation was a bit odd, as if you say I want to leave! I think it should be I want to get off.
But anyway, discovering these things is the beauty of travel

Durban, South Africa

 I love the curves of this house by Elmo Swart Architects.
Sometimes you get these beautiful curved houses but you never see it from the inside. 
Or they're curved on the inside but that beauty doesn't translate to the exterior.
So it's nice to see this beautiful example (also using wood!) that is a perfect combination, curves are such a beautiful thing in a home.
This is actually an extension added onto the thatched-roof house which you can see in the right of the above photo.
  But check out that beautiful staircase, yummy. I would just stand and stare at it, the perspective in this photo is amazing.
 Oh and it's in South Africa. Awesome :)


fairy lights 2

this is the same shot as this wallpaper picture, but i like them both for different reasons. one difference between them is that this was taken with flash, so you can see more of the wall and the lights are a different colour.
