Since I have updated this space...
Hi All,
And welcome to a Duploworld update on both the snowmobile story and a vacation teaser.
From the first test drive
Now there is really not too much to tell about that Snowmobile afternoon... it was actually more like a first test drive before a longer trip further into the winter landscape, a trip that we for various reasons stil has not been able set a date for:( Yep my constant travels do have downsides:(
now what did we do, well we grabbed a few rounds on a small test track and then afterwards a few longer and little more demanding trips on some of the closer tracks... all great fun and high speed too... those snowmobiles really do have a quite impressive top speed... only 140km/h for the one we had fun with, but the newer ones gets close to 200km/h...
anyway, here is a photo of what was perhaps the funniest part of the track, the downhil run back to the meeting place:)
downhill
Now for me it was a good test of how the camera and AF tracking performed and well as you can see it did quite well, so even from that point of view I actually had a lot of fun:)
Now the day was made for outside fun, only -2C and strong sunligt, below photo really is spring to me:)
I have added a bunch of the photos from the day, to the "Greenlandic Spring Photos 2008" album
springtime
Now, as you know I have been on vacation and yes it was a real vacation, meaning no work phone and no email, no internet, no nothing... boy, I actually needed that more than i knew:)
It was also a vacation full of sports, injuries, photography, hiking, mountain biking, diving and lots of family, in short.... a near perfect vacation:happy:
I have just finalised the processing of the hundreds of photos from the trip and, while this photo is nothing special, then it is all you are going to get... until I get time to upload all the shots, that is:)

Now I will try to do some catching up in here, because on Tuesday I am leaving again... Copenhagen and work awaits...
Do take care you all:)

When I went on my fishing trip in the State Of Maine, it was much the same with no access to anything electronic and it was most welcomed.
Was the "near perfect" part due to the "injuries"

I thin it really is a photographers paradise.
It is a vulcanic version of Greenland, I am already looking into how soon I can go back:)
thanks PJ,
we did indeed have a blast:D and the downhill was soo much fun:D
It was indeed fun Bea:D
Well not exactly Richard:)
But it was located in similarly desolate surroundings...
Ohh yeah, snowmobiles are good fun:D
Well Mr. Hungry I am confident my latest post is more to your liking then:D
Hi Andy:D
Yep the "near perfect" was due to injuries and that the vacation was way too short... but then again vacations usually are like that:D
I can imagine you would Asgeir, but as a norwegian I would have guessed that you were born pretty much on a snowmobile:)

Well Thailand most certainly is a beautiful place, I have most fond memories from both Koh Tao and several other small islands in your very beautiful but different country.
thanks for stopping by.
