Winding down
My time in Svalbard is rapidly slipping away. The dark is comforting, always there, no matter the hour or weather. There is no need to rush to catch the last bit of the day before sunset. I draw the curtains against street lights.
The moon is back. It rose above the horizon the other day, almost full. It fills the clouds, and the mountains glow snowy bright, rivaled only by Mine 7’s reflected light.
I am ridiculously grateful for a smartphone smart enough to capture the dark. My night photography camera skills are lacking, as is a tripod.
Thank you Tamara for your insightful writing and stunning pictures. I even feel I could tame and befriend the dark and the cold!
Safe journey back!

Tame, no. Befriend, yes. 🙂 xoxo
As usual, I’m both envious of and proud of your skill and ability to see what most do not.
Thank you, it helps to be a bit tweaked, you know. 🙂 xoxo
Dear Tamara, beautiful pictures again, using one as wallpaper on my desktop. Bleue and white, with a bit of brownishgrey!
Ah, the colors of the Arctic. Summer, winter, spring, and fall. Blue and white with brownish-gray. Soothing throughout the year. xoxo
I’d thought I would see dark photos but these are full of light! Light and cold. Such beauty is shown through your eyes and luckily dang good phone camera!
Thank you. Yes, grateful for a phone camera that requires no skill! Yay!
Beautiful capture of light. It just glows. As usual, your life journey makes my world bigger in such a good way. Miss you.
😘
