John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) was a Victorian-era painter, notable for his moonlit scenes and landscapes.

The second-to-last painting I believe I have seen in person, and it struck me immediately and profoundly because I felt like I had seen it before, a thousand times. It was like a perfect picture of a rainy day in the UK.

“In the far east of Russia, on a peninsula called Kamchatka, are stunningly surreal-looking ice caves that are formed under incredibly interesting conditions. Fire and ice are involved, or volcanoes and glaciers. As EPOD states about one, “It was formed by a stream flowing from the hot springs associated with the Mutnovsky volcano. This stream flows beneath glacial ice on the flanks of Mutnovsky. Because glaciers on Kamchatka volcanoes have been melting in recent years, the roof of this cave is now so thin that sunlight penetrates through it, eerily illuminating the icy structures within.” Kamachatka lies at similar latitudes to Great Britain. It experiences extremely cold winters and is covered in snow from October to late May. The peninsula is also known for a chain of active volcanoes that make up the peninsula’s spine. Interestingly, until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Kamchatka Peninsula was strictly off-limits to foreigners and most Russians. There was a military base on the southern end of the peninsula, which housed submarines that carried nuclear ballistic missiles. Since that time, it has increasingly becoming a popular spot for adrenaline junkies, especially those looking to experience extreme winter sports in a near pristine environment. Photographers have also been discovering all that the Kamchatka Pensinsula has to offer, as you can see here. As photographer Denis Budko states, “These snow caves, are usually hidden from foreign eyes under big thicknesses of snow…”

ghjgshdsgjkd OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT LET’S HAVE A FUCKING GIVEAWAY

THAT’S RIGHT Y’ALL

I am giving away the second-last copy of this XMFC mug I made in 2011, second-last because I’m keeping one to myself for, I dunno, reflecting on my bad decisions, maybe? Whatever, doesn’t matter. What matters is that this cheesy little mug could be yours, completely free of charge! That means no shipping charges either. Just take it and go. Neat-o!

So, like all giveaways, we gotta lay down some rules on how you’re gonna stand a chance to win this thing.

reblogs and likes count

you can reblog as many times as you want whatever

not really a rule but I’m gonna use this handy-dandy site (random.org) to pick out the winner from the list of notes ain’t that great!!

giveaway ends on 26th May, 12AM MYT

A note: there is a very slim chance of me reprinting these mugs. If at all I’d only reprint them for friends who insist on having them (which is ridiculous), but even then.
