My OperaWell it is time again

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.

as said that is it for now... do take care you all:)

I thought that maybe you would have the warmest winter on record, considering global warming an all.
Great shots

Regarding the 300Mb limit, I just link from my Flickr page these days to save uploading to both accounts so I'm not troubled by the limit. I don't think Flickr has a hard limit on the free accounts if you fancy trying that approach.

Speachless and humbled I am. a both generous and kind compliment I appreciate more than you know.
I would love to get a chance to portray Cuba some day, it is one of the way too many places on my "places ot visit" list.
Thank you soo much.
Thank you Asgeir,
Would have been my guess too, but luckily it is not so:)
Thanks MickeyJ, I will include it next time I post.
Thanks PJ,
I think what you write is quite meaningful, I had no idea what cold was about until moving up here and it has truly added a new dimension to my experience of weather... Living in Copenhagen is much like living in the UK (weather wise) I would guess and I hate to admit that rough weather simply does not occur there...
I have a Zenfolio Premium account with no upper limit and current around 1800 photos online there, so I could use that, but what I like about having them here is that people get a chance to browse a gallery without having to exit OC.
But using the Zenfolio account will most likely be the solution.
Thank you Mr. Hungry.
Back home safely now:D
