Hi All,
I am back with another update from Duploworld and the title really says a lot about what this post is going to be all about, the spring or lack of same:D
I do however have a few surprise announcements hidden here too, so do not go away.
Lets start of with one of the surprise announcements. I have decied to post a little larger pictures and they will in the future have a "watermark" in them too.
As always ask before using them anywhere else:) I know most you would never do, but we all know it happens every now and then...
Anyway let me know what you think about it, one of the pictures in this post is shown full size just to examplify it.
Now back to weather, I mentioned in a comment to allans blog that things were out of the ordinary, weather wise.
It turned out that I was wrong because yesterday morning this view greeted me from the kitchen window:
One might say that things just returned to Normal. A blizzard came by and guess what it has not ended yet. weather forecast even predicts that it will nto peak until like monday:eyes:
Temperatures has dropped too a speady 10-15C below.
Well I went to work, thinking that it would be a silent day, but to my surprise things looked like a regular flying day:eyes:
Passengers boarding one of our more or less snowcovered Dash 7's:
A Sikorsky S61 drinking fuel (posted in full size to let you see the new size I have decided to post in):

I am continiously surprised by the weatherconditions we are able to operate in and remember these pictures was taken outside, so no windows in between...
These, and the following two pictures taken on my way home, makes me wonder if I at all will be able to join the SPN or if I have jump directly to SumPN:confused:
two more taken on my way home:
DId I hear anyone talking about spring? anyway it is good for the slopes, why I am really not complaining at all:D:D
Well and finally the big surprise announcement......
ready?..........
I have been invited to display my pictures in The official Pentax Photo Gallery
I am really honoured and very hapy about it, being invited to join photographers as experienced as some of the people in there, is really a big honour to me. the site is currently in beta, but check back every now and then, some of the pictures posted there (not by me) is downright breathtaking:up:
Only nag is that only pictures taken with all pentac gear is allowed, which limits the pictures I am able to submit. But the only non pentac lens staying in my collection is a macro, so over time it will even out.
So far 9 pictures has been approved to the galleries.
Thanks Ned and John, I appreciate it greatly:yes:
Well that is it:)
Have a wonderfull weekend all and do take care:)
Thomas

about weather – here it’s more like summer
naturally, i’m aware of global warming and i still support kyoto. Though, as the study shows, my country is one of a very few that are about to profit from climate changes (all existing domestic species will be able to adapt to it since we already have hot summers. it’ll just get warmer and possible to grow new kinds of plants). but this is just a scenario for the firs couple of decades, and we should think well beyond this short period of time.
Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo # Monday, March 19, 2007 12:19:53 PM
Thank you:) I appreciate your compliment.
I can definitely understand what you mean about summer, believe it or not, I actually love hot weather too:)
I am however a little worried about recent developments , but to determine what is from actual global warming and what is "natural fluctuations in climate I am not sure about.
Having said that i think we at least should treat nature decently and aim to do as little damage to it as possible.
thanks for commenting:)
