The 1973 admin changes are interesting (plus I harvested a few words for later word-
listing...). I looked up "sogn" and saw "parish" which is exactly what our rural administration unit was, and still is. (No doubt tied up to Church history if we go back far enough, but even Church of England Parishes these days don't usually correspond to administrative ones). Interesting that we also had a local government reform in 1974 (being dreamed up in 1973 or thereabouts, no doubt). Must have been the fashion at the time! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Since my last message I have done some real work at my office, but I hadn't received all the data I needed so around eight o'clock I had to stop. Which meant that I had time to make one more video today, this time with French as its theme. However I have also started to sneeze and cough so the sound quality may have suffered. At least I can hide my red nose and running eyes behind the paintings, but my voice isn't tip-top right now..
FR: J'ai eu le temps pour faire encore un vidéo ce soir, cette fois basé sur mes peintures avec un thème français. Et puisque j'ai du relire les poèmes sur lesquels j'ai basé certaines de ces peintures: "El Desdichado" de Gerard de Nerval, "Gaspard de la Nuit" de 'Aloysius' (Louis) Bertrand et "Le Cimetière Marin" par Paul Valéry. Donc ce vidéo a eu plus de relations à mes études des languages que les trois premiers vidéos, dont les thèmes était clairement danois. Du moins j'ai relu quelque oeuvres que je n'ai pas vu depuis longtemps - avec Gaspard comme une exception partielle puisque j'ai acheté ce livre en français à Marseille il y a 3-4 années ou quelque chose comme ça. Ce qui est drôle c'est que j'ai traduit tout ce livre et réussi a faire paraître (du moins en partie) la seule traduction danoise que j'en connaisse - mais jusque l'achat à Marseille je n'ai jamais possédé ma propre copie.

I'm still quite busy at my job, and yesterday evening I also spent time listening to music by Carl Maria von Weber (yes, I'm getting near the end of the alphabet), but I managed to squeeze in some pages in Icelandic about the lake Mývatn and volcanism in that area.
IC: Þessir textar eru nálgast á heimasíðu "www.myvatn.is", og þó Myvatnsvæðið er afskekkt stað í afskekktum landi langar mig nú til að sjá þessa stað - en ég hef sýnt fram á að klæðast í köfun föt af því að stöðuvatn 'Mývatn' heitir eftir moskítóflugunum. "Helvítí" er óg í Mývatnsveitið (gígur um 300 m í þvermál), eins og Dettifoss sem er aflmesti foss í Evrópu: 44 m hár og 100 m breiður! Apart from that I'm preparing for my videos about paintings in the 'languages series' - and this is a problem because I sometimes have forgotten either the author depicted or the work(s) depicted - or both. For instance I have a painting with a Portuguese theme called "Alcool"(without an author name) - guess what happens if I do a Google search for that word! In other cases I have writted the name of an author down, but not the precise work(s) I used - like in the case of the Greek nobelprize winner Seferis. When I did the painting I knew the Greek alphabet and a few words, and I had a dictionary, but I couldn't read the language so I must have used a translation. But of which work? I might have to read through all his poems to find the one I used, and I simply don't have time for that right now.

Avez-vous visité le lac Myvatn, Iversen? Je trouve que le paysage là-bas est absolument
formidable. Je suis y allé il y a un an et ça m'a plait beaucoup, j'en ai confiance que ça va vous plâire ainsi que moi, en connaissant que vous avez raconté plusieurs fois que vous aimez la nature :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

J'ai visité Islande deux fois, mais sans voir la partie centrale et orientale du pays. La première fois j'ai visité Reykjavík et le 'Cercle d'Or' (avec Gullfoss, Strokkur et Þingvellir), la deuxième fois seulement Reykjavík parce que j'avait peu de temps. Comme j'écris ci-dessus, la lecture de l'extrait de myvatn.is m'a convaincu qu'on devrait vraiment aller à Mývatn pour voir le paysage là, mais dans une combinaison de plongée pour eviter les moustiques. Et evidemment le transport sera un problème aussi.
Je vais peut-être visiter Islande encore une fois en 2013 où le congrès universel des esperantistes aura lieu à Reykjavik. Edited by Iversen on 12 September 2012 at 5:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Mon ami Jan et sa copine visiteront l'"Universala Kongreso" en Islande l'année prochaine mais pour moi: Pas de chance! Ces congrès d'espérantistes ne sont pas de lieux pour les pauvres... Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Il y a un autobus entre Akureyri et Myvatn, si je me souviens correctement. En effet, j'ai pris le bus vers Akureyri à Reykjavik, puis j'ai dormi à Akureyri, et le jour après je suis allé au Myvatn. Je faisais du camping donc j'ai pas une idée combien les hôtels coûtent là-bas, mais soit. J'ai pas eu des problèmes avec les moustiques, malgré que j'ai fait du camping. Mais si vous parvenez à obtenir un quelconque spray contre les insectes, ça va marcher, j'en suis sûr :) Edited by tarvos on 12 September 2012 at 11:03pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
