Hello from Mars!

Actually, it's not that far fetched as you may think, since all ecquiptment that's been sent to Mars and will be sent there, is tested here in Svalbard. 

But there was an event even bigger: the total solar eclipse. I was like "yeah, okay, whatever" before i saw it. Now im just playing that memory like one cheriched record in my mind. 

.

I wasn't sure how to photograph it, without any filters and without any time to buid one. One friend suggested to take a video, with family, so that it'll be a nice reminder of this special event. I put the music of Mono as a backround, because... well, they just fit. Oh, i wish they would have a show here. Members of Mono, if you ever read this... come to Svalbard, you can stay in my room :)

Now i get the people who travel the worls just chasing the eclipses. There is magic.

March

Without any flowers, any budds, or greens, even the choiche in the supermarket here is the same through the year so far... it still feels like Spring. I guess it's the sun. The days are cold and sunny, some days wihtout wind, those are the best. Windchill can be a real monster if it adds -10 dergees on top of -17C. As you see, the light changes quickly. Soon the sun will not set anymore and we have our polarday. Im curious.
