** The Curious Corner #27
Hi there! Happy new year! Hope you had a great new years eve! I surely did. As tradition, I made a little movie about my year from all my photo’s I took at 8:36pm. You can view the video on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/150497203) . Now back to business, I’ve collected a great collection of links, and just by pure luck the theme of this month is Japan… That happened by accident!
