The movie of Hurtigruten is now on Youtube !

After some initial problems with the rendering I got it running as was first my intention.

I suggest you watch it in HD if you want to watch it.
It does indeed make quite a difference.

A special thanks to Edvard Grieg for composing his Peer Gynt suites.

And don’t forget to change it to 720p HD !  😉

The silence is no more ! ;-)

I’ve been silent for quite some time, been participating in an other blog.
Since the 14th of August 2009 quite a bit has happened.
I’ve managed to fall deeply in love and move together with a lovely girl,
but after some months we decided that we just might have pushed things forward
just a bit too fast. So we decided to part our ways whilst we are good friends.
I guess it is the natural order of things, nevertheless it is not fun, not fun at all…
The past year has been something of a rollercoaster.
By my own fault I managed to become ”in between jobs”.
So I have spent my summer refurbishing my parents house instead.
I have kept myself quite busy, yet it is not the same as being at work.
But, I’ve finished yet another of the years in Kalmar. 😉
And the last of those years starts the 17th of August,
in other words, not that many days left 😉

But before I go back to Kindergarten, I will accompany my parents to Norway,
and to be more precise Hurtigrutten. We will go by ship, M/S Nordnorge,
from Kirkenes to Bergen. My cameras are prepared, got a new tripod,
an extra telephoto lens, and my father got a new Xanti VPC CG100.
So hopefully I will have a lot of photographic material to share with the world
when we get back, or even during the trip,
it all depends on time and the possibilities on the ship.

Waiting times…

This has been a fairly nice spring after all, life have it’s ups and downs, but altogether life have been fair to me. At the moment I am waiting for a phone call, the phone call. That will tell me where and when I will go to work.

I look forward to it, I really need to get a change of scenery, and of course improve upon my economy. This year did not start the way I was hoping, but the change might be for the best in the long run. Furthermore time has really been flying, so before I know it, this year will be a dim and distant memory.
School has been very interesting this year, I learnt a lot of new things, and that’s always great. It, sort of, brings meaning to this life I am living at the moment. So far, all exams have gone well, still waiting on the result of the last one though, but I am hoping for the best.
I might be home for a longer time that I initially thought. If so, I have to get me some more victuals. It’s a bit tricky to live both economical and healthy, even if I do my very best, they don’t always coincide.


Simple life

I bought a rosé wine today out of curiosity, AUSSIE – Flamingo Blush (nr 6452), and I got pleasantly surprised. Is a lovely wine to brighten up a rainy day, or to enjoy on a sunny balcony. It is not that sweet, but its just sweet enough, for a rosé wine.

The last exam-period for the term are about to start, fingers crossed…
And after that I will go back to work, or to be more precise M/T Ramira, I look forward to have a new ship, a lot of new things to learn. And as part of my summer I will try to read up on Astronomical Navigation and Morse. So that I will have a head start on next term.

There is light in the other end of the tunnel, I see it, and I long for it !

A new, real life worth living, and share with those I love and hold dear.

Quiet

Well, been quite quiet for a few weeks, and I guess that I dont have that much to write about sometimes. I look forward to the end of this term, and the possibility to go to sea, and work again. It is sort of depressing to see your savings slowly diminish.
Spring is here though, life is just a triffle of a bit brighter and enjoyable.
I am content,
although,
life could be a lot better…
