Time will tell

Philosophic thoughts about moments and transience of time.

Transience of Snow

This morning I left Anton’s beautiful cottage (see this map, the cottage is marked in red) – the fantastic Hytte i Lyngsalpene even before sunrise.

Moments#3

My last week was crazy stuffed with work, unbelievable short bedtimes in impersonal and desolate sterile hotel rooms – I was more than busy with my customers. Nevertheless it was a good week with some very quiet moments before and after the coaching.

As always I had my camera with me.
