A helicopter tour to Svea

We got a helicopter tour to Svea instead of our normal flight with a small aircraft.

The safety belt and hearing proctetions with radio on and then we were ready for a pleasant tour over the mountains.

An ekstra pair of shoes and doghairs

We had visitors last week. One of them was two footed and two of them had four paws each and for addition nice furry coat. It was nice to have life on the house - and maybe not that nice with endlessly amount of doghairs floating all around.

Our two-footed visitor came while we were still in Svea. As we have got dark time here we wanted to give her some "illuminative" welcome to our empty house. Even though it was little bit early to put Chrismas lights on we did that. She didn't have any problems to see which house was ours!

During that week we got lot of new snow - and that's something we like! I'm already dreaming about a good scooter season and even nicer skiing trips. 

Cars by Unis (The University Centre in Svalbard) were getting totally snowed down.

We had also a little workshop for to get some winter decorations. Somebody could think there are kids living in the house!

Our four-pawed visitors were mummy (right) and sister (middle) to our own dog. The owner of them is taking care of our dog while we're in Svea. These two dogs are very easy going and well trained so it was just a pleasure to have them on our house.

Svea in twilight

Now it's the latest change to check that we're having all of our equipment placed there where they should be before darkness and drifting snow is covering everything.

We are still having a short twilight at the daytime. Sky at the south side is having a hint of reddish colour - there is Sun somewhere there!

Mountains are glowing nicely with the mystical blue light we're having.

Dark time is taking over

Twilight time is getting shorter and shorter day by day. But we are enjoying the rest of the light as long as it's possible! Even though life is darkness is little bit unpractical it's also having it's beautiful aspects as well. What could be more beautiful than starry nights with northern lights?

The town is looking cosy with it's lights.

We're making us visible in the dark time. It's hard for drivers to see pedestrians in the darkness so both of us is using reflective vests when we're out.
