rest for mind & soul

evening rest

i've been back on svalbard for about two weeks now, and have one week left before holidays slightly further south but still above the arctic circle.

it seems like i spend more time up here than in tromso this spring and summer. this latest trip north is more welcome than ever as it provides an opportunity to rest my mind and soul, solve some of my private problems, and work in peace and quiet away from the office at home. i start feeling more like a (sort of) local and less like a visitor (not a tourist!!), and i just wish i wouldn't have to leave again in 6 days. some good conversations and time with the person who turned my world upside down last autumn seem to have helped to get back some inner peace, let's hope it lasts.

i'm currently reorganising my photos (new camera = running out of storage space for the photos!) and hopefully there'll soon be some from the spring campaigns and the various trips on svalbard online.
