Ashes and Snow is a photographic collection by Gregory Colbert. I love them not only for their beauty, but for their portrayal of the relationship between animals and humanity. They have such a soothing quality that I thought I'd share a few of them here for those who aren't familiar with Colbert's work, in the hope that you may get from the photographs what I do - peace.
You can see more of these exquisite photographs here.

1.) OMG, I'm so glad you only ate my clothes.
2.) Kiss the kitty, win a prize!
3.) Yup, that looks like an impacted molar alright...
4.) Ok, throw me the rope, she's drunk and passed out and I already took her cash.
