Duplo's blog

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:

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.

Hi All,

Welcome to a new Duploworld update:)

The Tittle says "Autumn fire"... and no not litterally, but visually speaking.

Well as we do not have any trees I am not talking about the trees going from green to fire red.
We do however have one thing up here that never cease to amaze me... the light.

Auroras is obviously one of the many different kinds of light, but during autumn as the suns travels in a lower path across the horizon we get something else, a warm and deep red light that visually sets nature on fire.

Hi All,

Just a brief Duploworld update to tell you all that I will be heading off again.
To Denmark (again), more meetings to be held.

Now I cannot leave without posting another "Greenlandic Autumn Photo":

Not entirely up to the standard of the first, but a decent photo I think.
There is another one from the same walk in the album as well.

Thanks for looking and do take care:)
