Lucky Warmth

Lucky Warmth

Me with a spade (essential scientific instrument) and my reliable Russian camera. Of the less important things:-) the blue fjord is called Hornsund; the distinct tip rising above the plateau across the fjord is called Hornsundtind – it's the highest point (1431m) of southern Svalbard.

Re: looks fun

Great fun but pretty costly. (Please see my reply to Nanuls's question in comments on album)

Re: wow...

Thanks Liba - I guess you mean that handsome man of the Ice Age. :)

Re: wow...

OK, time is relative, Liba. But I have a medical self-help guidebook, and there's this standard question in many a chapter: "Are you over 50?" Still, it's not "Are you over 10,000?", so I hope we can agree on the "man of the Little Ice Age" :)

Re: wow...

Well, you are not even that old to remember the little ice age. My brothers are your age...Just forget the medical stuff - I would be old too, I should have a mammogram every year, but hate any interventions...It is in your mind....

Re: wow...

Sure, Liba, I keep telling this to e.g. my joints but those bastards just won't listen.:) I will not give up though, seriously.

Re: wow...

I am sorry Jacek about your joints. I had a few injuries and became very frustrated when I could not move.... but still you should be optimistic - you do not need a wheelchair. I think that we need to keep trying be happy for every little thing we get...

Re: wow...

Agreed, Liba. Although I'm realistic by nature, you can surely call me optimistic given my plans for the years to follow, which include moving closer/into the mts, possibly working in the UK for part of the year, and series of quick treks/hikes with a light pack. (I can hardly carry more than 11 kg on my poor back – which is actually something I shouldn't do - but the gear's got pretty light recently as you know).
Cheers
Jacek

Re: wow...

or you can get someone to carry the stuff for you... haha
I hope that you will get better - it is frustrating not to be able to move... Good luck Jacek, and if you make it to US - I will carry your stuff...

Re: wow...

That's very kind of you, Liba :) but if I come I hope I'll get a Hatatitla :D

Re: wow...

I am impressed... I was starring at Hatatila, and could not remember where did I know this name from? of course... Old Shatterhand's horse...a beautiful one too...But, I still remember full name of Hadgi Halef Omar (about 2 lines)....
Hatatitla can carry more than me...

Re: wow...

Without doubt, Liba, and all this will make for a new May novel "Old Shatteredjoints Venture and the Treasure of Moravian Karst" :), the first May book written in English as my German is limited to just a few words. Sure it won't be In the Gorges of the Balkans LOL
