Duplo's blog

- Just another blog on the internet -

Take off....

Hi All,

Yep a new Duploworld update and again to tell you that tomorrow morning I will be travelling from tomorrow morning. Destination is somewhat less wild and exciting, I will be heading back to Copenhagen for about a week.
This will also mean that the five photos just uploaded will mean the end to my "Greenlandic Autumn Photos 2007" Album.
And anyway it does not look much like autumn any more.
Because Friday evening a powerful Fohn wind sweep across Nuuk. Towards Sunday evening the temperature dropped again and the Føhn wind turned into a blizzard.
During Monday night the snow eased off just enough, for everyone to start clearing the streets and for me to jump out and shoot a few photos, winds though were still strong enough to almost blow me off my feets:eyes:
After the Storm:

Night time Stairway:

later that night it began snowing again and Tuesday afternoon the view from my balcony looked like this:
Autumn Whiteout:

Well later the snow eased off and just outside my door I saw this:
Doorways:

Now you may ask why are I am already closing down the Autumn Album? Well when I return we will have reached December and thus also reached winter and anyway, this does not look much like autumn to me anymore:D
Autumn?

Now it is just a regular storm, making it close to full week without sunlight and strong winds. Today is not too bad really, only around 31 m/s or 110 km/h.

So take care you all and thanks for looking:)
I will be back to read up soon.

Thomas

Woah! Looks like the wind was pretty strong in the first pic! (or did a truck just back into the sign?)

I don't know if it's the same wind, but there's polar air coming down to Ireland and it is COOLD.

Hey Mr. Duplo! I hope Copenhagen is nice.

Nicer than Oslo, anyway. It's been cold and rainy here.

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 2:30:53 AM

Thank you Mr. Hungry:)

And yep I really do like snow:)

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 2:34:25 AM

Yep pretty strong winds we had Galadriel...
The wind did indeed blow over a few things, this sign was just one of them...

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 2:36:42 AM

Neither do I mikey J, but I doubt it, the fohn wind is very strong and warm.
However the blizzard that followed cooled things down and that might be the wind you got to feel too...

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 2:43:38 AM

Thanks momable:)

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 2:49:49 AM

Maree Long Wednesday, December 5, 2007 4:28:49 AM

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 9:39:26 PM

Seems you did not need my help after all:D

Hope everyone is in good shape after it?

Maree Long Wednesday, December 5, 2007 9:53:21 PM

well I am left rather tired for again this morning about 3am had to rescue the patio cushions again from the leaking roof.....so I think my cushions are faring better than me at the moment but such is life - lol

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, December 5, 2007 10:33:51 PM

lol glad the cushions are the only ones that needs to be rescued...

Maree Long Thursday, December 6, 2007 3:05:37 AM

lol - I know my son warned me this morning as he was working on his car "careful mum, careful" its wet....It's ok I reply, I've put towels down on the tiles...I think the concern is more that he would be the one that would have to tend to me if I went head over turkey or decided to learn the splits water and tiles don't mix

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Thursday, December 13, 2007 2:30:06 AM

lol there is a good chance you are right, but then again he might just actually care;)

Maree Long Thursday, December 13, 2007 5:26:34 AM

nah...it really is he wouldn't have to take up the slack and then there is the OH & S side of his works training he is always in preventive mode which is a good thing to see him put it into practice......

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Sunday, December 23, 2007 4:30:37 AM

"Preventive mode" most fitting expression:D

Maree Long Sunday, December 23, 2007 8:00:08 AM

evening Duplo - was looking at the first pic....ever noticed the antenna? kind of like a cross on a steeple tucked away in the corner and always a light on where Gods concerned warm and cosy inside when you arrive?

funny where the mind goes when you look at a pic

the rocks and steel pole - leverage? as in life?

have a great trip and christmas

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Monday, December 31, 2007 6:03:33 PM

thank you Maree.

That is what I like about photography, it can move things in you.

I hope you had a great christmas and I wish you and your loved ones a happy new year.
