Awesome Icebergs in Antarctic Peninsula. Photo by Hannes Rada, OffBeatenTrack.at

I have a friend of mine, Hannes Rada. He is a really big, big fan of travelling from his home in Austria to so-called off-beaten places on the Earth. He publishes his travel notes and amazing photographs on his own website OffBeatenTrack.at in German. A few days ago he launched the fan page on Facebook in English, where he displays some pictures of his unique photographs collections. One of his sets is dedicated to AWESOME ICEBERGS of Antarctic Peninsula.

In his pictures icebergs are very sublime and imposing. They are like people with their own unique personality. Moreover, I would say, they force me to compare them with the gorgeous winter fairy tale characters. Very beautiful and touching! The last word is used, because I pretty much understand their lives appear to be not everlasting, but short. Sooner or later they will melt and disappear. Climate changes, you know. That’s really pity. Wish the global freezing to replace that unhealthy global warming… to some extents, of course.

Meanwhile, enjoy the beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula icebergs. (more…)

A friend of mine, Jonathan Fox, an UK biker, updated his today’s status “The temperature is a cool -8.5 Celsius. I think it’s time to go riding. :) ” Yeah, time to drive on BMW in the cold! :)

Biking in an Austrian Winter by Jonathan Fox

A week ago he did his travel from Manchester to Austria on his BMW bike. At that time he wrote “Had the Swiss and Austrian Alps all to himself yesterday. Either I’m fortunate or no other biker is crazy enough to be riding when it’s -3c with snow on the ground.”

Later he added “OK maybe I’m the crazy one, but the rewards for being crazy and going out when no other does are great. :)(more…)
