My Opera is closing 3rd of March

Duplo's blog

- Just another blog on the internet -

Time to say goodbye...

, , , , ,

Hi All,

And well come to another Duploworld update.
Updates have grown infrequent, but at least there is a reason for it.
The time has come to say goodbye, not to Opera, not to this blog, but to:
My wonderful blue home

on Wednesday all of our stuff will be picked up and as I am writing this I am packing up the last bits of personal stuff sad
Even though there is a good 4 month before I plan to move away on a permanent basis, then this process kind of signals that more than 3 years of adventure are slowly comming to an end.
And it will be one tough goodbye for sure as I have come to truly love some of the unique aspects of Greenland.
It will however also mark a total new beginning somwhere else and such beginnings are usually very adventurous.
Norway is the most likely destination for us, but lets save that kind of talk for later.

Miss Duplo has already left for Copenhagen on a permanent basis and on the 18th I will be joining her in Copenhagen for Christmas and new year. Something I am looking forward to smile

Above photo kind of gives away, that I have added another piece to the collection of photogear.
Anyone care to guess what kind of gear?
The effect is optical and not "PS'ed" wink
Smells a bit of Christmas I think smile

Now I gotta get off again, I am afraid updates will stay somewhat infrequent and I have no guaranties as to when I will be able to get online again. But worst case is when I return to Copenhagen before Christmas.

Thank you all for being so patient with me. I promise to stop by all of you before Christmas.

Do take care you all smile

I am glad to meet you here and to see in which wonderful part of Earth you lived. Thanks for photos and stories cheers

Thank you for sharing moments of your life in Greenland with so many others. If you happen to move to Norway, I wish you welcome!
Happy Christmas Holidays to the Duplo's in Copenhagen! psmurf

I have come to associate Greenland with you Thomas. Or maybe the other way around. Guess I'll have put both you and Greenland in another mental drawer in the future. Let's see about that.

The new piece of gear? Well - maybe a Lensbaby? Or a special filter?

Peter Battypjbatty Tuesday, December 9, 2008 6:13:26 PM

Hope you get moved out ok Thomas. Moving house is always mentally exhausting, but you have new adventures ahead!

I would say a Lensbaby too, but it could also be a fancy filter set.

I know you may be sad about leaving this wonderful place, but I'm sure wherever you go you'll be happy with your Ms. Duplo! smile
You both are amazing and personally, you are a great photographer! I love all the images you do!
Wish you the best, for Xmas and for the new year! Peace my friend!

Seeing you pop in is a pleasure. You have always been a part of my inspiration, You know a lot of what this blog has turned into is thanks to you.

No Greenland will always have a place in my heart and I will hopefully return for an adventure far great than any of the previous ones in 2010.

Good luck with all the moves! It's been fabulous reading about your adventures in the frozen north.

sophied Thursday, December 11, 2008 2:05:24 PM

thanks for all those beautiful photos. I always enjoy encountering other countries and somehow "the north" has always been alluring to me even though I am, in fact, a little afraid from the cold smile so you live / have been living in Greenland, that´s really amazing. good luck and happy living in denmark from me, too !

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Thursday, December 11, 2008 4:40:01 PM
