Beauty Beyond Words
4:00AM - what is there to do? I woke up and noticed a light under the dark drapes, got up to just peek out and see the early sunrise now that we are in the North Sea before I turned over and went back to sleep. What awaited me beyond the blinds brings tears to my eyes! A beauty so intense that I could just stare. The ship is no longer in the North Sea, we are floating up the Oslo Fjord and I had somehow forgotten the beauty that kept me awake for days when I was on my Norwegian cruise to the top of the European continent. So many emotions flooded back, so many thoughts! I grabbed my camera and was out taking pictures in the cold of the Norwegian morning in my gown, no time to waste getting dressed! First of all, the wooded hillsides covered in white houses is stunning in itself. But add to that the pinks, purples reds and oranges of the sunrise in the sky and clouds behind that and you have one of nature's most beautiful paintings! I stood mesmerized by the beauty I faced and tears filled my eyes. How lucky I am to experience such amazing and beautiful sights around the world!

What? Still no pictures? If you could at least upload a few to your computer, email them to me and I'll post to the blog. (You would just need to let me know if you want them put in an existing post or a separate one.) I, for one, would certainly enjoy seeing a few photos of the things you are talking about, without having to wait until you are back!
Thanks,
Murray
