IT WILL GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS

Leaving tomorrow, several meetings, a lot of photographing for work and hopefully some photographing for pleasure. Did not succeed in finishing the shots from Sweden, too many shots, too little time, or something like that.

We met late last night, Oddur Jonsson, Pixie, Ragnheidur, Vala, Gurry and I and went hunting for the Northern lights. Apart from actually catching some Aurora Borealis, some of us found out that some of us actually have night vision, with out night vision binoculars and some of us are blind as bats and would rather go for a stroll than harming ourself climbing rocks in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of the night.

Because Oddur and I had the furthest to travel, me from Copenhagen and he from Isafjordur, our ETA was indeed the actual time of arrival. Those who live in Hafnarfjordur, the place we met, they came later than late :)

We had fun and as always, I learned a lot. Ok ok, it might not be so clear that I did learn something last night, but I did, I will just have to demonstrate that at another time :) Ragnheidur won a blue ribbon on dpchallenge this week, but we got no champagne and no cigars. Luckily, we are a patient bunch of shooters.

Thanks for the fun, I am glad we could do this at such short notice.

8 intensive days in Iceland came to a close today. It is good to be home and I wonder when all those shots I took will be ready and entered into our school's database. But I had fun too and ended my stay in a small town called Grindavík. In population it is small, but the fishing industry there is not so small. It is actually Gurry Gudfinns's home town. I'll upload some shots from Iceland as I go along, hoiping to upload the rest from Sweden to. I need to stay home :) next week we leave town to stay in the country. Janke for the whole summer - I´ll spend my time here ... and there.

We arrived in Langvad Thursday Evening and what a welcome. A sunny day from morning to night and then late at night a little rain that made the plants very happy. Then into the next town yesterday to buy supplies and now we are all set for weeks of being away from the city. I have quite a bit of work with me - translation work that I have to finish in a hurry only received it yesterday) and photographs that I don´t have to do in a jiffy. It is truly wonderful to be back. Just turning out the light at night and be able to be in totatl darkness, something that is impossible in the city, and the silence. Mmmmagnificent.
