Surreal Season

Nature has its own sense of humour - "How about a two-in-one? ", it seems to be saying. You can BOTH enjoy fall foliage while you practise your snowboarding moves on the slopes in Phoenix Park this October, thanks to plunging sub-zero temperatures earlier this week.

The ski resort in Gangwon-do  has opened for business half a month earlier than last year. It's not clear, though,  how much of the snow in the picture is artificially produced by snow machines or what percentage is Mother Nature's handiwork.

So what will the on-line papers show next? Kim Yu-na skating on a frozen lake under the maple leaves?

Expect the unexpected.
