Thursday Challenge—"ground"


This shot was taken by my daughter Kate, when she
headed
(way) north and sailed around the Svalbard Archipelago. 
Now her father and I are making the same trip—we're
off to Norway tonight.  I'm not sure what kind of 
Internet 
connection I'll have up there above 80°n latitude, 
so (for the first time in eight years), I'm putting the blog 
on hold until I'm back home in a couple of weeks.
At that point, expect pictures of polar bears!
Meanwhile, as the song says, "see you in September."

  3. Yes, it’s ice (try to explain that to future generations, if there are any). But this reminded me of the time adult-onset chicken pox ripped through a dormitory. I was fine, having had the child-onset version, but my next-door neighbor’s bed and floor were six-inches deep in this (not sure why).

    Hey, Bon Voyage! One of my favorite images of all time is of a polar bear eating vanilla ice cream in a blizzard.
