Today i was at the beach. THE BEACH. Yes, actually in the water without a wetsuit on. I felt so strange because i am setting off in two days to go skiing, only hours away from where i had been laying in the sun.
Actually, there is something about going skiing at the end of the season which somehow appeals to me. I guess its the images of the transformation from Winter to Spring- season to season. The gradual melting of the snow, the small shrubs being revealed from undercover and embracing the sunlight.
Its also nice to be able to X Country ski in a t-shirt at this time of year.
However, there is something strange about this season. This has been the worst snow season in terms of temp and snow fall from what i can rememeber. And i cant help but think that global warming has something to do with it.
My boyfriend Paul just came back from walking the Tour De Mont Blanc circuit from France to Switzerland. My parents had reccommended the walk as they did it for their honeymoon twenty years earlier. When he got home we decided to compare photos of his trip and those of my parents. I was absolutely SHOCKED. The glacier in my parents photo would of been about five kilometres larger than that of Pauls and this was at the exact same season. The glacier had retreated. Melted.
There are alot of things that are happening in the world that cant be proved or explained. And i think alot of it has to do with global warming. We need to wake up and really consider what is happening here... because it cannot be just a coincidence or simply a 'bad season'. Because it isn't going to get any better, thats for sure.
