My OperaWhat the snow revealed and a sunset

Hi All,
A Duploworldupdate with a couple of more from the emerging spring in Greenland and yes I am still working on a meaningful selection of photos to go with the vacation report, hopefully tomorrow will be the day.
What the snow revealed
Well above may by some be taken as a sign of spring and commented as ohh, flowers popping up already, but look more closely...
What you see are actually autumn, but due to the fast drop in temperature when the winter approaches, it seems that the faded summer of 2007 has actually been frozen down, to reveal it self again ones the snow melts away.
If I look closely when on my walks, it seems that in stead of slowly dying away, autumn was frosen down and has stayed that way during winter. It seems that our spring is actually initiated by the previous autumn dissolving while the comming spring emmerges?
Not sure I am right, but that is my conclusion on the last week of observations and a thing I will explore further.
What the snow revealed #2
Now the walk was neither very long in terms of distance, nor that challenging per se... however, the snowfileds still here has gone into their most dangerous season. due to the increased strength of the sun and the high temperature.
Walking without snowshoes can become a dangerous thing, as there at places are real lakes below or streams of melting water, so it is a season where one has to watch his steps.
Sunset road
Well, I think that is it for now. I hope to be back tomorrow with a Vacation update:)
Do take care you all:)

Judging from your photos, your theory sounds plausible

Thank you so much for a very honest and kind compliment, well several in fact.
I appreciate you spending the time to go over my ramblings and photos.
All it takes is some practise, let me know how you progress.
Thank you for visiting and commenting Deborah, I greatly appreciate both.
Thank you Bea, glad you liked it:happy:
It was indeed a fascinating discovery to make and one I will go out exploring further this weekend and the next.
Glad to hear you see the same in my photos as I do.
