Today, I was at my cabin on an island in the far Arctic... There, the silence is absolute during the winter. I was alone, walking with my snowshoes in the deep snow and took a break on the frozen shore of the fjord. Holding my breath, the only thing I could hear was my blood beating into my eardrums... I took some pictures of the surrounding with the watch I had: The Dievas Focal.           |

Thanks Philippe! Yes, this is different from Germany but you have nicer forests: Trees have a hard time to grow up here. Many look like 20 years old but they are at list 60 or more... |
