I deicided to start reading the book, 'The Lovely Bones' over chirstmas as everyone has always told me how good it is. Also, I've just found out that film director Peter Jackson has made it into a film to be released early next year and so I always like to read the book before I see the film version to see if it lives up to expectations.
This book is very inspiring and tells the story of a girl who is murdered and then finds herself in a world where everything she dreams of and makes her happy is in this world. This is the concept of how I want my 'winter wonderland' to feel as if it's a heaven like place where you can forget all your troubles and your surrounded by peace and the things that make you happy.
I've viewed the trailer online and the film is definately on my 'must see' list now as I was also really impressed with how director Peter Jackson (famous for Lord of the Rings) has captured the serenity and peace of the dream-like world she finds herself in.
I like the way the cloud filled sky is reflect onto the ground in the second of these images as though the heaven (dreamworld) and earth (reality) have merged to become one other worldly place that she finds herself in. I hope to try and capture this effect in my photographs as if the sky is part of the 'winter wonderland' to create a strong atmospheric quality the images.
