St. Peter’s Square was eerily empty on Christmas Day Friday as Italians are under a nationwide lockdown for much of the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
St. Peter’s Square is a large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, the papal enclave inside Rome, directly west of the neighborhood or rione of Borgo. Both the square and the basilica are named after Saint Peter, an apostle of Jesus considered by Catholics to be the first Pope.

After spending nearly half of 2020 in lockdown due to the pandemic, I thought it would be great to create a short timelapse film and capture the amazing Christmas Festival in Melbourne! I hope you guys enjoy my latest Timelapse Film and it reminds you that there are better times ahead. For those who have had a tough time during the lockdowns, I hope this video puts a smile on your face. The spirit of Christmas is alive in Melbourne!
Putting the entire video together took me one month and consisted of over 6000 raw pictures, taking up around 380GB on my hard drives. The shots were taken around the streets of Melbourne, Australia, including Swanston Street, Bourke Street and Flinders Street.
Filmed on December 20th, 2020.

Walking in London’s Borough Market around 1PM in the Christmas EVE was something UNIQUE for me. I saw a lot of people grabbing the last shopping groceries, others having a drink and enjoying the season holidays, others walking around and see what’s happening 🙂
Borough Market is a wholesale and retail market hall in Southwark, London, England. It is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, with a market on the site dating back to at least the 12th century.

A new original graphic novel, The Final Symphony: A Beethoven Anthology, celebrating Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday, has been published via Z2 Comics and Deutsche Grammophon.
The Final Symphony: A Beethoven Anthology, written by Brandon Montclare and Frank Marraffino, was inspired by the composer’s life and music. The graphic novel reimagines the life of the legendary composer through striking new visuals created by world-class artists. Readers will be able to experience both masterpieces and lesser-known gems in a brand new light. The deluxe edition will be accompanied by an exclusive double vinyl LP following the story through the composer’s own works.
Pianist Alice Sara Ott, violinist Ezinma and composer Max Richter, are all featured in their own chapters in The Final Symphony: A Beethoven Anthology. In the chapter featuring Alice Sara Ott, drawn by Creees Lee, the pianist invites the composer to hear one of his works played in a modern concert hall. The chapter featuring Ezinma, drawn by Jarrett Williams, celebrates Beethoven’s groundbreaking musical personality, and Max Richter has been transformed by artist Dave Chisholm, who also wrote the chapter.
Merry Christmas! Joolz takes a walk around the Christmas locations in London and talks all about the traditions that make Christmas here in London without letting lockdowns dampen our spirits. There’s Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol of course and we see the beautiful Christmas decorations and window displays at Fortnum and Mason, Covent Garden, Selfridges and more. Why we have a Christmas tree, what’s in mince pies, Christmas cards, Christmas crackers and the grinch who banned Christmas!! All the while the ghost of Christmas past is trying to stop Ebeneezer Joolz turning into an old Scrooge. Thanks to The Albert (Primrose Hill) and The Haverstock Tavern for the meal!
