Both for another Duploworld update (long overdue some would say:)) and to head off on another brief travel adventure...
Hi all:)
Well gues the major news is up there in line one already:)
On friday I will head off to Copenhagen again, for a little less than a week.
it will mainly be work stuff, as in countless meeeting on this and that, sneak in a mini conference and we are about there... but I guess I will get a chance to squeeze off a few photos while I am at it too, so you just got to wait and see:)
Winter bay
What I have left of spare time these days is spend outside, primarily with a camera attached to my eye and hand, but I do get some boarding time too:D
Now winter this year has been nothing short of amazing and when I say amazing, I mean amazingly winterly.
Unlike in Denmark where winter has been more or less absent, then up here we have had the hardest winter in more than 20 years.
Winter Kayaks
now how bad can it be you might ask?
Well, if we look at it in short oneliners:
- Disco bay has frozen over this winter
- Kangerussuaq has been at its coldest in over 20 years below -50C
- Maniitsoq have had visits from Polar bears
- The fiords around Nuuk has been steaming
- The fiords around Nuuk has even been partly frozen over, which the strong currents normally prevents.
- Nuuk have had prolong periods with well below -20C, several days in the -30C area
snowdunes
Now is that bad, well no it is not:) it means heaps of snow, which again means a lot of usage for snowshoes, snowboard and other outdoor accessories... something I really do enjoy:happy:
Sure one has to be close to nuts, to sit down somewhere way out in the lonely landscape, with a termo of hot coffee, to enjoy a sunset in solitude. Especially when the thermometer reads -29C (the icebow easily made up for it though;)).
But the truth is that I actually love it:happy:
Inuksuits
Well I think that is it for now, there is naturally a bounch of photos in the "Greenlandic Winter Photos" album, so go check it out:)
By the way, I have sorted it by date in a descending order, to make it easier to spot the latest additions (I will then a little int othe spring season cut it down till about 20 photos...
Yes I really do have an issue with the 300 MB limit Opera has - Please opera, can I get or even buy some more? and now that we are at it... The ability to move photos between albums would help a great deal too.
Sermitsiak
as said that is it for now... do take care you all:)
