Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz

This interesting piece of music has been making the rounds for quite a few years now. This, if it's authentic, is the most anyone seems to know about the “composer”. Here is the complete piece.

Silk and Purple

“Her clothing is silk and purple.…”
- Proverbs 31:22

This picture is from the XaoS fractal zooming program. It has several sets of fractals that the user can zoom in on at any point, as well as change the color scheme.

Fog on the Barrow Downs

“Eastward the Barrow-downs rose, ridge behind ridge, and vanished out of eyesight. The sun, a pale and watery yellow, was gleaming through the mist. Even as they looked out towards the setting sun, it sank before their eyes into a white sea, and a cold grey shadow sprang up in the East.”
- The Lord of the Rings, Book I, Chapter 8

I created this with Terragen 3D landscape generation software.

A photograph showing just a glimpse of the mountain lake through snow-covered fir trees. This landscape picture is digitally manipulated to look like a watercolor. Lake Nojiri is a glacial lake in the Japanese Alps. It is a popular resort summer and winter, and the 1998 Winter Olympics were held in nearby Nagano and the surrounding ski slopes. Though the climate is temperate and the lake rarely freezes over, the mountains are usually covered with several feet of snow in the winter.

Lake Nojiri

Lake Nojiri near Nagano, Japan. This is where my family used to go on vacation in the summer and sometimes winter, and I took this picture there, probably around Christmas of 2000. Although it wasn't cold enough to form much ice on the lake, because it was in the Japanese Alps there was usually a lot of snow in the winter.

Golden bells hanging in the center of a holly wreath of dark leaves and red gems for berries, intersected by ribbons of red and green edged with gold stars. Like a Christmas present wrapped in dark red and tied with bright striped ribbons.

Stars & Stripes

I had designed these golden bells for an invitation, and then wanted to make more use of them, so I added the wreath and striped ribbons to make a Christmas desktop design.
