A perfect summer

A summer, I will never forget and I could get used to being out in the field - no wrong: I really missed being out and seeing rocks. It was quite tough being out for 10+ hours a day - being in cars, listening to concepts, hiking, hammering, more discussions, moving to another place, sharing rooms with 3 other people, having a queue for the shower, listening to evening talks after dinner (while almost falling asleep)and getting up really early. BUT: the rocks were fantastic, I learned as much as I couldn't have within half a year spending in the office (and this just in 10 days), the scenery was also splendid and I met really nice and interesting people. Picture will be posted gradually (maybe also after my vacation - yeah right I still have 3 weeks of vacation ;))

Another one

Once again I am off for a field trip - this time I will mostly stay in Norway. Hopefully the weather will not be too bad - it doesn't really look that promising.
This summer is so fantastic - maybe I'll have some time for more picture posts when I come back.

Jostedalsbreen - Nigardsbreen

First of all - I am still around just extremely busy - it is a FANTASTIC summer ;)
This is the last glacier tongue we've seen and it is the most spectacular. Once again we were extremely lucky to be there in May and there were not too many tourists. Plan in to hike to the glacier - it is really nice to enjoy the glacier coming closer. There are also these stupid glacier tours - it was hard to get a picture of the glacier without this rows of black dots connected by ropes on top of the ice (sometimes you'd wish they all fall into the next crack (yeah I'm mean).
Needless to say that I looooove the ice.
