The Magic Lamp in the Snow




[Photos: Big Frank Dickinson]

Big Frank took the Magic Lamp out snowshoeing; well, obviously the lamp was just along for the ride. Actually, it was along for posing, because while most of us think that we know all about the Magic Lamp - you know, Alladin and the djinni who is obliged to grant wishes, what most don't know is that the Magic Lamp poses well, and bring scenes to life. Big Frank is not sure why this is, but there is something about a bronze oil lamp, something exotic, that makes even the most ordinary scene (snow and trees for example) look fantastic. Big Frank doesn't actually know if there is a djinni is this lamp, but if it ever comes out, he knows what to ask for! No problem there. For now, though, he is happy to just look at it.
