Now understand first that my definition of “Glamping” may differ from yours… basically, if I’m not on the ground I’m glamping. Your view probably differs. Living in and out of your truck, van, small camper is not for everyone but I guarantee if you do an extended trip and prepare well for it you’ll wonder …
A short, 12:48, animated film – An Island – caught my eye today. Not sure how I ended up on the “Topic” web site but I’m glad I did. A man sets out for a desolate island, with the goal of conquering the mountain at its center. But the higher he climbs, the clearer it …
The river has cleared itself of ice very quickly this year. The same day I snapped this image (March 29th) the Seaway opened for shipping. Around here that’s as good a sign of spring as anyting else.
The Snow Geese have arrived. The Canada Geese barely leave but when the snow geese fly in with their distinctive sometimes whistling honk winter may finally be showing herself out. The sighting of these guys was usual when I was growing up in the area but their explosion in numbers has apparently shifted their migration …
The ever present ice fishermen in these parts hand on until the bottom literally drops out on them. I’m always amazed by their dedication to the task at hand and the amount of risk they are willing to accept in pursuit of their endeavours. With this one I failed to “see” the real image until …

Another thing that is increasingly common, based entirely on anecdotal evidence is the roller coaster temperatures we seem to be experiencing on a near weekly basis. …
“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”. By William Shakespeare. (from Henry V, spoken by King Henry). While not quite up to Henry V trying to rally his troops against the French, following up an unexpected success that was JÖKULSÁRLÓN thanks to some major post editing is daunting just the same. The sudden …
is the name of the iceberg filled bay in Iceland I introduced you to last week. The post reflected on how technology is making it easier and easier to take even a poorer quality image and make it at least usable in some form or another. The featured photo here was the result of a …
Fall, September 2017 to be exact, I’m on the trip of a lifetime in Iceland nearing the final days and I’m about to reach Jökulsárlón a glacier lagoon that promises up close pictures of icebergs slowly floating to the sea.
