images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

greetings

originally this post was going to be called something rather more boring, like snow in march or march snow, look you see. and then i opted (or elected) to have a listen to the Let It Be album, and that one lyric appeared more appropriate. maybe. please note it was The Beatles recording of said record, and not the quasi tribute one what Laibach gone done. 

anyway, yes, then, this concerns some snow what we had (briefly) during the month of march. which is when this is being published, or "dropped". gone now, it has, thankfully. 

it would appear, or seem, that the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode turns out not to be the best way to capture an image of snow. oh. well, i tried for you, as you can see above. my issue, or if you like quarrel, was the quasi white snow against a semi black night sky wasn't the best for the format i prefer. when i moved so that a little light fell into frame, as you can see, in its wisdom Commodore 64 mode elected to focus on that, giving a peculiar sodium effect. but in the top right you can sort of see the streaks of snow as they fell. 

despite the issue with the image above i was not, of course, prepared to simply give up. acting on a hunch, i thought maybe one of them animated gif things may well turn out not too bad. this would also, surely, give the exciting effect (affect) of it looking like snow was falling on you. well, yes, if you are watching via some 3d or "virtual reality" device. 

that, if i may say of such myself, isn't all that bad, but there is a more better one down below. feel free, if you are so inclined, to scroll down to it now. up to you. 

for those of you who are (for some reason) interested in fragmented images of snow but would wish to see such in a (considerably) less Commodore 64 mode, you are not excluded. yes, we have got a video, and yes, it is below. this is some footage i "shot", or recorded, or simply captured, for my sister. i have little doubt that she would object to it being showcased here, as it wasn't personal snow or anything. 

quite a few people appeared to be taken by surprise that we got this snow when we did. i did not feature among(st) such a number. over the last ten or so years (give or take, with more of whichever means fewer) there's been a pattern of snow around november and december, some in january, a sunny if not entirely warm snap in february and then a last bit of snow around march. certain people, i know, quite like to hold up any event as proof (or evidence) of some theory or other, but i would like to think that once in a while something can just happen which is vaguely normal. 

eventually i found a spot where i could stand and get images of the falling snow in which the subject was relatively clear and little in the way of the light required seeped in. yes, it was pretty much the spot from where i did the video. behold, a non Commodore 64 mode image of it. 

some of you shall, undoubtedly, taken heed of the words earlier and have already scrolled down to the final image here, which is (of course) the one below this text. another animated gif thing of the snow, then, presented in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode. 

rather happy with that, thanks. if you were asking. just a slight intrusion to the right (or left if you're looking from a non standard position) of the light source which helped. a clever person could probably well edit that out, but i am not that person. 

we are now within the realms of the "British Summer Time" clock, so no, further snow is not expected. except we might get some in april, which is always good as it means i can quote a very specific Prince song when that happens. but, or yet, from a driving and getting around experience, i would not be so upset if that was the snow gone for eight or so months. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
