Shimmer

I’m  back in Trondheim now after my summer vacation, and I was just looking through some of the pictures from this summer. I’ve decided to show some of them here as well.

Vilija

Vilija

I visited my very good friend Vilija this summer in Lithuania. And this day is definitly one of the best memories from this summer. It was an amazing week.

Fjellhest

Thea og Ymir

Jeg var med Thea en tur til Kalhovd i sommer, og besøkte Ane som driver Fjellhest. Der fikk vi flere fantastiske turer, og kanskje sommerens laveste puls halvsovende med hodet liggende på en stor og varm islandshest.

(ooops, language confused)

Panama in easter

a captured moment in Casco Viejo, Panama

another moment in the old city

In easter we had a study trip to Panama for almost three weeks with  my university class, and we did quite a bit of travelling around, and I managed to catch some moments. This one is just outside a small shop in the old city of Panama City.

Hitchhiking Panama

It's a secret

I did a lot of hitchhiking through Panama, and got some good shots. I can’t pick out any favorite pictures, but I really like this set. Click the picture to see a slideshow of 24 hours hitchhiking in Panama.

There’s more to come

I came across an unpublished draft today, when I went through the backend of my blog. I’ve written this down, but obviously haven’t known how to put it into context at the moment.

A conversation between a Red Cross Volunteer and a child in Smiley Club:

Vol: Who do you love the most?

Chl: My mother.

Vol: Why is it your mother you love the most?

Chl: Because when my father comes home he drinks and hits us.

This is something I experienced while in Armenia, it made quite an impression then and also now. What’s even more important to realize is that violence towards children isn’t just a problem in Armenia and developing countries. This is also happening in Norwegian homes.

As a fellow human, it is our duty to disturb when we see or suspect violence or abuse of children. The Norwegian Save the Children has a national campaign on this, and I hope you’ll look further into this.

After my return from Armenia, my blogging has been close to abscent and this blog has just been rusting away with old content. I’ve decided to get it back to life.

It needs a new title, and some new content. Just to get startet I renamed it “glimmer”, and that’s what I hope it’ll be. I hope to shed a glimmer of light on things I think is important, but I have no ambition of being a frequent or regular blogger.
