Per Sheetal: “Show us the things you love that makes your world spin or things about your world that make you delirious with joy.“
And now for something completely different. Aside from the obvious delirium (pun intended) with joy of being with my partner, SheWhoShallNotBeNamed, I have enjoyed skiing for nearly 50 years, of which powder skiing is the most fun:
I did use a lens. 😉
That’s all folks!
Stay safe, be well, be kind to one another.
I’m not sure about all the time focused down, John, but with the music, it did convey the exhilaration of downhill in powder.

A bit of hit and miss, selfie on a stick (GoPro), and powder nearly up to my knees. Whoopee!

WooHoo John – quite a run!! Not sure I’d be able to manage a phone video while skiing I must admit – thought for sure it was a GoPro. And a nice long run on soft powder. Must have been out west somewhere I’m guessing. Fun ride, thanks for taking us along!

Wow! That must have been an exhilarating run and the accompanying soundtrack was just perfect. This was definitely ‘hatke’ ( different as we say in Hindi), a wonderful take on the things you love . I really enjoyed the slopes . A lovely share indeed John .

Wow, John. I’m impressed, first by the fact you are skiing in all that snow, with deadly trees standing at attention ready to attack. Secondly, the fact that you are filming while you ski is over the top. Did you glue your phone to your helmet, or what? I can honestly say, I love to watch, but it’s warmer when you’re not all wet.

Ha! Thank you. That video was an iPhone 5 on a selfie stick. You can catch a glimpse, I think, of two ski poles in my left hand.
