in the night i.e. in front of my wood storage. But it's getting then much below the daytime temperature. This was taken when it was below minus 30 in the middle of the night. Best, Kari...
A night train takes from Helsinki to the Polar Circle. The cabins have own bathroom and the restaurant car offers good food and big verity of drinks. There are special car carrying wagons. In the morning when arriving the Polar Circle, just drive the car ...
Furthermore, I packet in a hurry and took just summer jeans forgetting the warm underwear home. Wearing tennis shoes and thin jeans feels very "refreshing". Best, Kari
I wanted to do the aurora's this year, heard that the solar activity has been greater than usual...but just understood what means to have 2 new babies at home... maybe next year; I was going to desist but the way you describe it seems doable even for me! ...
There's no special solar activity just now. Just bright nights and mostly the Aurora is there. Some two months ago there was very strong solar activity. I called to my friend living here and asked how's the night sky. He answered: "Do you think I have not...
Just a flight to Helsinki and from Helsinki 1 h 30 mins with Finnair's A321 to Ivalo. Very often Aurora is visible already from the windows of the plane. Best, Kari
When here, the hummingbirds are fighting in the bougainvillea flowers! Thanks for the photos. We\'ll have to come visit again in wintertime. Mike & Laurie in San Diego ...
southwest from here. I would guess that Levi is 80-100 km north from the Polar Circle meaning that Northern Lights are very common there. There's some great night life in Levi so be careful... Best, Kari
there would be red, yellow, blue on top of green. The Aurora pictured is something very simple and common - far away of being spectacular. I do not go out very often to watch the sky. I rather watch tv... Best, Kari
plus some with my M (type 240). If I remember correctly, Winston Churchill said something like "my taste is simple, I am happy with the best". When cameras are concerned, I'm happy with Leica. When watches are concerned, I am happy with Patek, when cars a...
and the new year starts well. My 911 Targa GTS arrived and I'll go and pick it up next Monday. We have some snow and ice on the roads but luckily Targas are all AWD. Best Kari
are jokes in our climate. First of all, the first two do not start when it's cold enough, the heating is not strong enough and the ice must be cleaned from inside the windscreen. Porsche is functioning perfectly here and the four wheel drive (I know, also...
Your bad luck Kari,It happens like one day a year and specifically on that day you decided to take the Alex-Cairo road which we call the dessert road..... By the way there is a huge difference between both storms...Sand storm give me hard time breathing.....
Normally I took the Delta Road but for some reason I wanted to drive fast. No, the storms are not the same. It's really slippery when it's snowing and snow does not sand blast the paint of the car. Best, Kari
and looks very cold. Brrrr! LOL The Aurora Borealis is a beautiful natural wonder to see. Patti and I look forward to seeing it. I hope these old bones of mine can take it. Aloha, Bob
they fill up the body surrounding the bones with vodka. And it's not cold anymore. However, I have not heard if this medicine works to old Aloha-bones. Best, Kari
