I had the delight of experiencing my first Brno snow a few days ago. I really am enjoying it as it reminds me of the cold winter days of my youth. Similar to the interior of British Columbia, the snow is crisp and dry as opposed to the thick slop that falls upon Vancouver Island. It is currently dumping quite severely.

This shot I took 15 minutes ago. I feel rather bad for that lone office worker. I imagine it’s quite gloomy inside that building right now.  After class yesterday, myself and two friends decided to make an impromptu trip to Brno’s crypt. Now as you may recall, I’ve seen my fair share of dead folk, from Kutna Hora’s Bone Church to the Parisian Catacombs, but Brno’s crypt still managed to make a rather substantial impact. Whereas my previous experiences with crypts involved bodies stripped right to the bone, Brno’s crypt included people with skin and flesh left on them. After 300 or so years pretty much everything was a indescribable rotting gray colour which was both fascinating and mildly nauseating. Unfortunately, seeing as the trip was unplanned I didn’t have my camera with me and thus there are no photos to post.

I’m tired and have more studying to do than I’d like to admit so once again this week’s Wanderlust is cut short. This is not really what I intended with the creation of Wanderlust; I wanted to write more stories and post less photos than it’s 390nm counterpart but exam period has resulted in a lack of time to write elaborate tales of whimsy. Oh well, here’s a shot of my friends Karin Carlson and Jessica Lee Sanders to pacify you.
