"Shimmering Peaks"
I’m back! How’s the world been spinning for you guys?
If you're wondering where the heck have I gone once again and why I haven't been posting anything for the past weeks, well then I got ya! As we had started our travels to Norway together with my wife Eini and our child Amelie, my brother and a common friend of ours, it didn't take too long after we had crossed the border till I broke my phone and was left without a device to use internet with.
Sunny day, scorching hot sun, amazing scenery, beautiful archipelago and a deserted Island ridden with white beaches was all that it took to finally break down my phone. When the heatwave hit Tromsø Region in Norway we decided to take our two SUP-Boards we had with us and hit the Island closest to our camp site.
At one point, I thought that it would be a good idea to take some video of the jellyfishes and pristine Waters we floated in and so I took out my phone, submerged it underwater and pressed record. My phone is "water resistant" up to some meters and I had been photographing all kinds of things for years already with my phone underwater, but it had been a while since my last time. Unfortunately, nothing withstands forever against the hazards of life and the universe, be it either a living thing or dead and expired electronic device. Thereby I take it that my phone had seen enough and decided that it was time to go.
Since that day I was more or less uncapable of posting, participating or following social media for the following weeks and actually quite busy too. Surely there was times I could have used my wife's phone and I did, but we were on a roadtrip and there was so much to see and experience during our travels that I didn't really care at all.
Now that the casual, everyday life has once again appeared in my reality tunnel, I'll finally have the time and motivation to dedicate a part of myself for sharing and posting. There's so many things on the Works, that I can't even scratch the surface with a post or two, so I'll be quiet for now.
I'll just let you know that I am very excited and if you're someone who is even slightly into my art and work, you should be too !
