Right...

... 'tis done. I have signed up for a contest with a Norwegian travel magazine... they are giving away free trips to various places in return for daily updates with pictures. I think I can do THAT... at least if the trip is to the US. I also had to send in a short travel story of max 300 words, so I chose to write about my day in Green River, more specifically about the incredible views south of town at Cold Geysir. I also sent along some pics. Crossing my fingers here!

TELL me this isn't purdy. I dare ye:

No further testing is planned.
