Maybe a good time for this as well with norovirus making headlines. I made this for our bathroom and a few “lucky” friends also got one as a gift. As I’ve said before, it’s astonishing that I even have any friends at all.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo
