Duplo's blog

Hi All,

And welcome to a Duploworld update, about what for me has been a major experience, one of the better up here.
Our hike towards the peak of Sermitsiak.
I have been rewriting this post at least 10 times trying to figure out how best to convey the nature of this hike and the impact it had on both me and the other hikers.
I have come to the conclusion that this time around, there are no other way than to let the pictures speak for themselves. 11 hours of hiking is a lot, especialy as we hike our mountains from seal level to peak, there simply is no other way.
I have added a fwe other photos from the trip in the album, but the ones poster here are the ones that to me really spells out what this stunningly beautiful mountain really has to offer.

As said, I have a few more in the "Greenlandic Summer Photos 2009" album, but the 3 photos above really tells what it felt like hiking this mountain.
This Friday I am off to Ilulissat for a week and the weekend after I have a Sceduled visit to the peak of the Deer Prong Mountain, he peak in the center of this photo

Thanks for reading and do take care

HI All,

Well finally another Duploworld update, I have simply been too busy to make those frequent updates, I am still inside the "promised" biweekly update limit though:D

Well returning from Prague has been a busy thing, but as i told a friend asking how I did;
"I am alive..." and that is about as good as it gets right now.
I practically stepped into my new position on tuesday morning and well not much to say about it. It is a new job and a whole new set of challenges that I indeed am looking forward to.

Well as mentioned a few times in comments, We have had more snow and all day today and even now late in the evening snow are falling, those huge and wonderful Christmas snowflakes... soo lovely...

I even brought my camera to get a few shots of it, but when taking the first shot the camera gave me an odd red symbol during the preview telling me that the memorycard were resting in the cardreader at home:doh: and I did not bring a spare one either:cry:

Well to make up for it I have this panorama. Taken Saturday at 1400 hrs, my fiancée looked at it a moment ago and said;
"It is the best I have seen of Sermitsiak from your hand yet" I am not sure I agree, but what I can tell is that it shows off the size of sermitsiak better than any picture I have taken before.

I hope you like it.

(Click the picture and click it again to see it in the right perspective)

What else? well I have been struggling setting up my new "Homepage", a site dedicated to my pictures. Not sure they have the standard for it, but I thought it were about time to take a more organised approach to displaying my pictures. It is picturewise not fully updated yet, but enough to announce its existence to you all.

This comming week will be VERY busy, but I will do my best to bring you an update again around wednesday or so.

Saturday is the day for our annual Christmas party at work. It is going to be loads of fun I think:cheers:
I will most likely invite my employees over for a round of drinks before the party, but we have to see about that.

Anyhow I think this is about it for now...

Do take care you all:) ohh.... and Merry Christmas:)

Thomas
