The Edge

Mon Sep 1, 2008, 12:12 AM
I still can't believe I get to live here... Once again, I find that there simply are no words to describe life beyond the edge. It's as if the lines of reality and imagination begin to blur... then morph into an almost dreamlike world that defies description. I have had the privilege to spend the last 7 weeks of my life in what feels like an entirely different world. Time itself seems to become meaningless and the only thing that exists are a series of singular moments that blend seamlessly together like the frames of a gripping movie. There are days that still seem fresh, as if they're just one blink of an eye away. Those moments are so crisp and clear that I almost feel as if I'm still actually there, that THIS life is just a momentary and distracted daydream. The pictures speak for themselves and the reality was/IS just as real, and at the same time, just as -unreal- as it appears. There simply are no words for what one finds at the edge... or beyond. It will take some time to get everything put together and posted, but I expect to do so over the next week or two. Until then, it is my sincere hope that those reading this have also had time to venture out onto the very edge of reality.

It's possible to see the aurora from about August 15th until April 1st. It doesn't get dark enough in April, May, June and July, but those are the warm months. Also, the sun has an 11 year cycle from high active to low, then back to high. We've been at the low point, so the aurora will be more active and frequent in a year or two from now. When it's at the high point, there is usually some sort of aurora every night or two and lots of good displays. So the best time to visit depends on what you'd like to see. Green scenery, warm weather and wildlife are best viewed in the summer. The aurora in the winter or spring months, but fall is decent too.

Hi Shay,

Bit over a month late getting back to you, but I'd like to thank you for featuring my work in your journal. It's an honor to have my work grouped with the caliber of art pieces you chose to feature.

Thank you again and I hope all is well!

:icongadian:
I would really pay for a large print of some of your photos. Do you plan to sell any?

I thought that what I'd do was pretend to be one of those deaf mutes.
