Once there was a storyteller who spun the most beautiful fairytales.
One day, a boy, not too short and not too tall came to see the storyteller and said,"I would like to live forever, Sir." And the wise storyteller replied, "I will do this for you if you help me send a message to my enemy, the Enchantress."
"She is beautiful beyond compare, but is evil and those caught in her lair stay there. Forever."
The storyteller continued,"The Enchantress wants more than anything else in this world, a wizard in the shape of a cat which stays in the black and white mansion."
"To go to the mansion, take this road until you see the moon. Enter the mansion, and you will see a lady dining with a leopard. Ignore her."
"Then you will enter a chequered room. There is a girl. And a cat. You must bow to her and say, "Good morning my lady.Tell me what your heart desires."
"The little girl will cry and tell you she wants to see her sister, the Lady of The Forest."
"Ashes and Snow, de l'artiste canadien Gregory Colbert, est une installation d'œuvres photographiques, cinématographiques et d'un récit épistolaire qui voyage dans le Nomadic Museum, une structure temporaire construite spécialement pour l'exposition. Ce travail explore les sensibilités poétiques communes des hommes et des bêtes.En date de juillet 2009, Ashes and Snow a été vue par plus de 10 millions de personnes, devenant ainsi l'exposition d'un artiste vivant la plus visitée de l'histoire de l'art."
The air - crisp and biting Snowflakes on the way to school White blanket pavement
"Nino, are you sure this is Your first snowball fight ever!" Laughter, hits, misses - cheers
Blueberry pancake, maple syrup A frozen tree in the backyard Blizzard and snow, three feet deep
Trip to Buffalo, Christmas gifts Running around red traffic lights Studying together til midnight
The magnificent Niagara Falls Frozen, crashing deep below Maid of the Mist magic
