happy new year

finally, finally, fit enough again to get out on the water, i used the good weather yesterday for a short new year's eve paddle in the beautiful mørketid's light:



unfortunately, a kayak is not a very stable platform for photos in low light conditions...

the evening was spent most pleasurably with raclette and watching quite impressive fireworks - seems like norwegians are more enthusiastic about blowing up stuff with bangs and sparks than germans!

and then the joy of poor satellite phone connections, while it's great to be able to speak at all to a person camped somewhere on an antarctic ice shelf at the moment, it's incredibly frustrating if the conversations consists mainly of broken up signal. oh well.

The scenery is beautiful. It seems that low light conditions have their advantage, althoug it's probably pretty dark most of the time. I wish you a good New Year! Here New Year's Eve was very noisy too, I can't imagine it to be worse at Norway.
And I need to find a new home for the old cat, I took over in autumn. It is not very happy in my flat because it wants to go outside... If you know anybody, please let me know.
