Silver seas

Torn between photography and crawling into a warm sleeping bag after a long days hike I took this shot around midnight last summer on a misty evening in East Greenland.

  Thanks, sleep can be made up but lost opportunities are gone forever, or so it seems.

Don’t sleep in Greenland! Couple of years ago I was there in late summer and can’t beat the temptation of sleep. The price I paid was missing the dancing aurora at that night…

  Hi BIlly, Thanks. I hear you loud and clear. In my case There was just so much to see I did not want to go to sleep but usually a long active day got the best of me.

  Thanks, it is really cool when you look out and it seems like the sea and the sky are one. It really creates such a different feeling as out reference point on where we are seem to be altered and when the reference is altered so are we.

Sleeping bags will always be there; the moment will not. 🙂 Nice how the rocks and ice stand out sharply against the softness of the sky and water.

  Thanks Dave and I whole heartedly agree although when you are tired the sleeping bag sure has a strong attractive force.
