Hi everybody. I'm back to NP. And now I'll welcome you to Svalbard.
*************************************************
Svalbard is a group of islands located between 78-81 degrees N and 10-35 degrees E. Aprox. 60%of the surface is coverd by glaciers. Svalbard has 5 settlements nad Longyarbyen is the main one, with 1800 inhabitants.
************************************************
This "montage" suppose to be a humorous one. I promised Ayda that I would't use my "Finally summer" shoes in the NP, and i promised her to pic. my NP shoes and post. I found this NP map in te floor of the hotel in Longyarbyen, so i thought it would be funny this way. So Ayda sweetie, those were my NP shoes :))))
As for te right photograph, this is an aerial photo from one of the several fjords in Svalbard. I took it from the airplane window, so one may see some reflexes and dirt. And one may also see some o.e. but everything was too bright because of the snow, so it may be a it oe indeed. BUt I think it doesn't hurt too much the photo.
I just hope everybody have a good laugh with this one.

Take care, Stef

ahahaha they wouldn't have known what hit them if you turned up in your 'finally summer' shoes! :-)) and i just love that map on the hotel floor! very cool ^_^

it's so good to see you back my dear and i hope you had a wonderful time! shame about no polar bears.. but i'm sure you got loads of other great pics from this incredible place.. i can see that already from the right side of this montage! what a wonderful landscape... wow that's especially great considering it came from a plane window! well done sweetie :-))

well.. time for bed now.. 'see you' tomorrow Stef *_*

big hugs,
Ayda

Hi Stef,
lucky you!it must have been a unique experience there. This picture of yours is greatly composed because it means 'travel' and 'distance', and I really love it!
regards,
M.

Very nice work Stef, very well combined images and all together with notes it tells the story. Humorous idea and presentation.
Bravo!
Vassilis

Nice montage for the travelling theme. The shoes look pretty new and you are ready to go and wear them out. Both photos are good shots, and your creativity and imagination are the final touch in combining this altogether. TFS - Sam

Olá Stef,
Muito bem composta esta foto!!!O pormenor das botas ficou espectacular,acho que devias fazer um post só com o mapa e as botas,essa imagem é muito apelativa.
Gostei muito Stef.
Fica bem,
Fernando

Pela nota deu para perceber que voltou cheia de bom humour :-)
Pelo primeiro postal já vi que vai valer a pena andar ligado no TL nos proximos dias. Gostei muito da composição, acho que teve muito bom gosto na escolha das fotos, até mesmo a das botas ficou excelente.
Esta vai ser uma semana complicada para mim, não vou ter muito tempo para visitar o TL, mas certamente que não irei perder os seus uploads. Este tipo de paisagens é fascinante!!
No domingo sou eu que vou de férias ;-) mas vou para o quentinho, ou como nós dizemos por aqui: vou trabalhar para o bronze...

Abraços amiga,

Ana

Another way of putting up your shoes... I have been looking a while for the sensuality here... guess that will be for another post then ;) But the idea is well seen!

Nearly missed this post...

5 stars for you creative idea and photo. Notes: give me a better understanding, thanks

Hello Stef, this is very good idea of a montage, first photo, I love the world with the pair of trek shoes to visit all of its places, and the second one, one of the great places visited I guess :)

Very well done and framed.

Cheers, Yan
