Blomstrandbreen

Have I saturated your senses with ice and sky? I hope not. I never have enough sky. Vast expanses that absorb my thoughts, my anxiety, my idea of significance in the universe; somehow, ice fills the same need. I surrender to these things.

    So icily gorgeous! I hadn’t realized that being on watch might involve being on the alert for things to shoot. Your photos deserve so much more than my meager comments.

      I’m always on the alert for things to shoot – but not always quick enough!

    I’m inspired to pull out my paints and create a colorful silky glorious sky!
