The frozen pound

Wind frost

 

winter wind --

yet the inlet's birds

get along well

 

Kobayashi Issa

Ice water steam

Winter land. Crackling ice

 

 

"Give the buried flower a dream;
Make the settled snowbank steam;
Find the brown beneath the white"

 

excerpt from Robert Frost, To the thawing wind 

Winter land. Volcano. Eldfjall

Reykjanes peninsula, Iceland

"Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice."
