For the time it had all the toys including encrypted satellite communications. However if all went wrong it still had a Morse Code Key which you can just see at the top right hand corner of what looks like a pad by the window
Earlier in the year we went on cruise to see the Northern Lights
First the Ship which was a supply ship first and a cruise ship second, hence the small size
The Swimming pool at an air temperature of minus 26C
The Lights - all the shots were blurred as you need a long exposure and the ship rolls so you have to try and hand hold the camera
Avalanche Defences - there extensive but I wouldn't fancy living under this lot.

This shot was taken out of season and you can see the crowds. In season you probably wouldn't get near it.
Its going to be a long night. The farmers have started picking peas in the fields around us. It started at around 21.00 and going from before, will finish at approx. 05.00 in the morning. There are three of these harvesting machines, two tractors that scurry around emptying them and a string of lorries taking the peas from the tractors to the factory.
The air is thick with the smell of peas, its a massive difference from the outskirts of London where I used to live and I wouldn't change a thing.
A couple of new shots. First a newly hatched duckling with in front of it, a duckling starting to break the egg shell
Second, I give you Branston, surely the most cowardly cat ever. There are three ducks that gang up on him and pin him in the corner, so when he starts to call for help we have to go and rescue him. He even let a Duckling come up and peck him on the paw.
