Crickson's electric eye

Originally from the UK, I am currently living with Spiderbaby in the sub-arctic city of Umeå in the north of Sweden.
Currently I am working part-time on a research project at Norrlands universitetssjukhus and being a stay-at-home dad. At least until the snow clears, then I'll be a pushing-a-pram-around-Nydala-lake dad. In addition I am trying to make my photography hobby pay by making some of my images available to buy from instacanv.as or from me directly.
Interesting things I read recently:
If the London Underground network at rush-hour were a city, it would be the fourth-largest in the UK.

"If someone can work out how to hook up a chocolate bar into a cell phone, that'd be pretty good, because there's about 35 times the energy density in a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk [than cellphone batteries]". Simon Segars, ARM

I am Pavlovs_dog on PSN and would be happy to link up with PS3-owning mobloggers : )
Too Much Information: The first album I ever bought was the Fraggle Rock soundtrack. Pretty cool, eh? I was only 16 : )

Exploring the surface of Lake Superior
strangest experience, walking among frozen waves with nothing but ice as far
as you could see. I imagine the polar regions of the planet feel the same
way. Totally desolate, empty, and beautiful.

Geodyne says:
Yes, that's precisely how they feel. It's what makes them so beautiful.
This is the most amazing series. I love the way you've used the light and shadow.
crickson says:
Aww, thank you! This experience has really made me want to see the polar regions, and I now know how those poor penguins feel - it was proper cold.
crickson says:
Only a few hundred meters from the shore, although it was quite hard to tell where that was. It was difficult terrain to cover without snowshoes. At places the snow was nearly up to my waist and it was very slippery with ice.
In retrospect it was possibly quite an unsafe thing to do. If the ice had given way it would be hard to find someone in such uneven terrain.
RareAquaticBadger says:
Wowza, that's spectacular!
It's official: Crickson can walk on water...
