Back after a break 

If you think it has been quiet around these ramparts, then it is intentional. I decided to take a break from everything,including writing and social media. Instead, I picked up my camera, packed my bags, and went on a photo trip to Svalbard. 

I have not been on photo adventures for almost a year, mostly because I was losing my ability to imagine the landscapes. I really take photos from my mind’s eye. And unless I am ready mentally, I fail to commune with my camera, just as I dowhen it comes to writing. 

The trip has been good from a creative standpoint. I hope to share more about the trip, my photography, and my impressions of Svalbard from the perspective of climate change and how time changes everything. 

I hope you have not missed me too much.
