Happiness

2011-08-06T11:19:00.004+02:00

Lykke er å ligge i gresset

til tørk etter et kaldt bad i norske vann...

Røsslyngen er vakker nå

og fungerer fin-fint som naturlig fotofilter.

Ha en strålende lørdag!

Sea & summer

2011-08-05T06:00:00.002+02:00

Bilder er minner

og minner er viktig.

Sommeren er på hell her i huset

men minner har vi jammen mye av...

..................

Memories

from this summer

that is very soon over.

I whis you a summerish weekend!

Ona lighthouse - colours and light

2011-08-01T22:00:00.009+02:00

Ona fyr er virkelig verdt den bølgefulle

turen det er å komme ut i havgapet.

Ett fantastisk lite fiskesamfunn

med fargefulle småhus.

----------------------------------
Ona lighthouse is a small fishing village

really worth visiting in Norway.

Summer

2011-07-31T23:13:00.008+02:00

Jeg kunne skrevet mye

etter det som har skjedd i Norge 22. juli,

men jeg velger å bare poste bilder av glade barn.

Ha ei strålende uke,

på jobb eller fortsatt på ferie!

Summer and mountains

2011-07-19T06:00:00.000+02:00

Noen bilder fra den Sunnmørske fjellheimen.

Ha en flott tirsdag!

Bokeh - summer

2011-07-16T10:29:00.002+02:00

Just some bokeh shots to

wish you all a sunny weekend!

Hopefully summer is happening where you are.

Northern Norway - wedding and beautiful nature

2011-07-14T23:25:00.010+02:00

Noen bilder fra Nord-Trøndelag,

hvor jeg blant annet var så heldig å få ta bilder i et kjempeflott bryllup.

Jeg har fått testet ut nye kameraet

og begrensningene i bildene ligger i alle fall helt klart ikke på kameraet.

Ha ei fin sommerhelg!

New camera

2011-07-06T09:40:00.004+02:00

Jippi og barnslig fryd!

Jeg har nettopp fått mitt nye Canon EOS 5D Mark II
og det er bare rett og slett kjempegøy å ta bilder med!

Naming ceremony - vessel

2011-07-03T18:34:00.007+02:00

Bilder fra en skipsdåp:

Rem Commander

et supplyskip som ble døpt i Geirangerfjorden i går.

Gøy å ta så annerledes bilder.

-----------------------------------

The photos are from the naming ceremony

of the vessel Rem Commander.

A nice ceremony that took place in the

Geirangerfjord yesterday.

Just an orchid

2011-06-30T22:31:00.005+02:00

Jeg har sagt det før og sier det igjen,

macroabstrakter

er ren terapi å forsøke å få til.

........................................................................

Just trying to make abstract looking

macroshots.

An exercise I find very therapeutic.

Summer mood

2011-06-28T07:00:00.001+02:00

Sommeren 2011

i blåtoner:

og litt snev av grønt og andre farger:

Jeg håper sommeren er mer

sommeraktig der dere er enn her.

Dog skal det sies at når den stikker innom

som i helga

så nyter vi den...

---------------------------------------

Just shearing some summer pictures

and hoping your summer is better than ours.

Have a nice week!

Midsummer 2011 - Ålesund

2011-06-26T23:08:00.005+02:00

Årets bål på Slinningen i Ålesund

ble ikke en verdensrekord som ifjor,

men jammen var det flott likevel.

Imponerende dugnadsinnsats av flott ungdom

gjør dette til en flott tradisjon.

------------------------------------------------------

In Ålesund the the huge firepillar at Slinningen
is a tradition.

Last year it made the record books as the world's tallest bonfire.

Hiking - fog

2011-06-12T19:47:00.007+02:00

Det har visst blitt en liten fotopause på meg.

Noen ganger er andre ting i livet viktigere.

Også blir det så vanskelig å finne bilder som er "gode nok"

til å postes plutselig.

Så da er det bare å hive seg i det.

Her er fra dagens fjelltur i tåkeheimen

og tåkeheim det var det virkelig!

Håper dere har ei flott pinsehelg

med eller uten tåke!

----------------------------------------

I've had a sort of not planned photo pause
and the follow-up post seems so difficult.

One keeps looking for "good enough" pictures

and they never seem to be.

The ones above are no exception,

but one has to start again somewhere I guess.

These pictures were taken today

hiking in the mountain where we live.

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Lack of coherence

2011-05-06T08:37:00.007+02:00

Fredag er en fin dag.

Bildene henger strengt tatt svært lite sammen i dag.

Litt fjell og fjord, litt svart-hvitt og litt macro.

Også klarte jeg ikke å motstå det kanskje litt overbrukte "farge i svart-hvitt-bilde"-trikset,

men jeg synes det passet.

Ha ei strålende helg!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There's no coherence in this post

except for me wishing you a very good weekend!

I would also like to thank you all your very kind comments.

I appreciate them all!

Hvitveis - Wood anemone

2011-04-30T00:07:00.005+02:00

Jeg ser hvitveis og blåveis vakkert fremstilt på mange fotoblogger nå.

Og klarer ikke å la være å prøve selv.

Jeg blir aldri helt enig med meg selv om hvilken macrostil jeg liker best,

men jeg liker i alle fall å prøve mye forskjellig.

Ha en strålende helg!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Just some different types of macro shots

of a flower you will find everywhere in Norway these days.

I wish you all an excellent weekend!

Easter blues

2011-04-25T09:16:00.008+02:00

Noen blåtonebilder fra Påska.

For de interesserte: Det øverste har lukkertid på 30 sek..

Snart er Påska over.

De siste dagene har vært fantastiske værmessig,

og vi har hatt noen utrolig flotte dager her på Sunnmøre.

Når det er sagt skal det bli

godt å jobbe litt igjen også.

En fin Påskeslutt til dere alle!

---------------------------------------------

Some pictures taken the last days here at Sunnmøre.

The shutterspeed is 30 sec. for the first shot.

I hope your Easter hollidays went well!

Light - at the sea

2011-04-21T22:55:00.004+02:00

Påske på sjøen er ikke så verst det heller...

-----------------------------------------------------

Easter at the sea.

Happy Easter to all of you!

Morning fog - at the sea

2011-04-18T18:48:00.006+02:00

Dårlig vær på Sunnmøre i Påska.

Litt gøy å ta bilder i dag tidlig likevel.

-------------------------------------------

It's Easter break

but we have not seen the sun

yet.

Tomorrow, we hope.

Macro - Spring crocus

2011-04-16T19:57:00.005+02:00

Det blir litt sånn "IKEA-bilde" fra meg igjen.

Tett på en krokus.

--------------------------------------

Just som macro shots.

I hope your weekend is nice.

Spring - macros

2011-04-12T19:30:00.005+02:00

I dag har vi hatt skikkelig vårstemning på Sunnmøre.

Hurra for det.

Det har vi jammen fortjent!

-----------------------------------------

The feeling of spring

finally came today.

Aperture f/1,4.

Shutterspeed 1/8000.

The filters are natural

made of flowers and grass that comes between the lens and the photo subject.

I've cropped and enhanced the contrasts in the shots.

Trying out high key

2011-04-08T19:55:00.005+02:00

Et par forsøk på high-key bilder.

Jeg har justert ned fargetoner og kontrast.

---------------------------------------------------

I've been trying out high key versions of macro subjects.

And one of the 8 year old.

A good weekend to all of you!

1 dead flower - 4 different macros

2011-04-02T21:34:00.006+02:00

En vissen påskelilje

og fire måter å ta macrobilder av den.

--------------------------------------------

One dead daffodil

four ways of doing macro shots.

Snow

2011-03-29T13:41:00.006+02:00

Det er så mye snø ute nå

at det knapt er verdt å kommentere at en er lei.

--------------------------------------------------------

I guess the photos tell the story:

There's so just much snow,

everywhere.

Last snow

2011-03-27T12:02:00.012+02:00

Siste snøkrampetak

får vi håpe.

Gøy for barn

og litt fotogøy for mor også

Det ble visst alle fotostilarter på én gang for anledningen.

-----------------------------------------

Hopefully

the last snow this spring.

Fun for the kids

and somewhat fun for me too.

An excellent Sunday to all of you!

Macro - daffodil

2011-03-25T22:53:00.002+01:00

Just som macro shots.

More yellow

2011-03-23T19:46:00.012+01:00

Gult er kult

og så er rosa også...

Mars er den store bursdagsmåneden her i huset.

Noen flere utfordringer med nyvunnet diabetes

men det går veldig fint med litt ekstra planlegging.

---------------------------------------------------------

Preparations:

More Yellow and

some pink...
March is a major birthday

period for us.

Yellow spring

2011-03-21T22:04:00.006+01:00

I think we deserve spring now

but I have only seen

glimpses of it

yet.

Too sweet

2011-03-18T09:00:00.000+01:00

Norway has one of the highest incidence rates of type 1 diabetes among children.

Nobody knows why, but hopefully someday one can identify the causes and

moreover cure or prevent this disease.

We did not know anything about this one week ago. Now we know more about how to live with diabetes. We also know that it's not our fault that the toddler has developed it.

He is very brave,

and we know he will be able to live a normal life.

He just has to plan everything.

I wish you all a healthy weekend!

Almost only white

2011-03-08T07:00:00.000+01:00

Alt ble plutselig veldig hvitt ute igjen.

Jeg rekker aldri de store fotoutfluktene.

Tid til å øve på de fantastiske landskapsbildene er en luksus,

men kanskje er det litt luksus å ha tid til å bli

kastet snøball på av 8-åringen også.

-------------------------------------------------

Everything turned very white again this weekend.

Finding the time and occasion to take more lanscape pictures

is a rare luxury to me.

I do miss it.

But then again being with the kids is a luxury too.

Just som more "last snow" - pictures

2011-03-06T18:08:00.003+01:00

Slutten av vinteren er visst et evig gjenganger tema for tiden.

Jeg elsker disse små, fargerike husene.

Bildene er tatt i Giske kommune.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I know I'm repeating myself

posting these winter pictures

but I love these small, colorful houses.

The pictures were taken at the islands of Giske.

Sick

2011-03-05T16:21:00.004+01:00

Det eneste som er verre enn å være syk

er å være syk når det er ferie

i følge min yngste sønn.

Jeg kan skjønne den.
--------------------------------------------

Being sick during the winter holidays
is even worse than just being sick
according to the toddler.
I hope you're weekend is perfect and healthy!

Hopefully the end of winter

2011-03-02T07:00:00.000+01:00

Sånne bilder blir det når det er "ingenting"

å ta bilder av.

Alt er bare grått og vissent

i påvente av vår.

Det naturlig "filteret" får man ved å ta bilder gjennom hekk og vissent løv

og la dette bli helt ute av fokus.

Blenderåpning på f/1,4.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was out this weekend trying to take

pictures of spring.

However there is no spring yet.

Just the end of winter.

I'm using "natural" filters such as old threes.

Aperture f/1,4.

Small beauty

2011-03-01T09:00:00.000+01:00

Dette lille vidunderet er siste innslag i familien.

Noe så nydelig skal en lete lenge etter.

Hun ankom i går og har stort sett sovet på

den nye matmoras fang hele dagen.

This beauty is our last

family member.

9 weeks old.

Spring - biking

2011-02-27T19:13:00.008+01:00

Når 5-åringen spør opphavet om muligheten

for forevigelse av sykling ute.

Da stiller opphavet opp

lykkelig

over at av og til er det noen som vil bli

bli tatt bilde av.

Today the 5 year old

actually asked me if I could

take pictures of him

(not something that happens often!).

So I did.

Of course!

Macro - shapes and abstracts

2011-02-26T19:25:00.010+01:00

Noen nerdete macrobilder av

halvvisne blomster

igjen fra meg.

Minstemann er syk og da blir det innedag.

I've not been able to go out to take pictures today.

a 5 year old with a fever makes this an indoor weekend.

The feeling of weekend

2011-02-20T22:07:00.009+01:00

For en strålende helg vi har hatt!

Håper flere har hatt anledning til å nyte det flotte været.

We've had the perfect skiing weather

this weekend.

Sun and snow

and some degrees below zero.

I wish you all a perfect week!

Just tiny

2011-02-14T18:55:00.003+01:00

Monday can be a fine day.

I hope you will have a colourful week.

For those of you that would like to know, this is the flower on which I placed the droplet:

For spesielt interesserte: Blomsten som har dråpen på seg er en sånn liten blå/lilla sak som vises under her.

Dråpen skimtes forøvrig litt under midten av bildet :

Sparkling - sun and snow

2011-02-13T21:39:00.006+01:00

I dag hadde vi snø, sol og minus 5 grader.

Strålende turvær og flott morsdagsvær.

Mellomste hørte på Haba Haba store deler av turen

så noen knasende snølyder i stille natur var det lite av

men fint likevel.

The pictures are from today.

All of a sudden it's cold, snowy and sunny again.

Beautiful and sparkling.

The weekend in Black and white - weather and light

2011-02-11T21:39:00.005+01:00

The pictures were taken last Sunday.

The weather was nice when we started walking

but then of course it changed and started raining and then snowing.

I wish you all a calm and colourful weekend.

Visit The Weekend in Black and White.

Macro - shapes

2011-02-04T21:56:00.006+01:00

Just a tulip.

I like trying to find abstract shapes

in macro shots.

The weekend in Black and white

2011-01-28T21:35:00.006+01:00

More pictures from Runde island.

Shutter speed 8 seconds.

I used my 10-20 Sigma lens.

See more pictures in black and white.

Sunrise at Runde island

2011-01-25T21:09:00.004+01:00

Sunrise,

this morning at Runde.

New week - new oppurtunities

2011-01-10T07:00:00.002+01:00

I finally have my camera back.

But these shots are from the holidays.

I like them.

After all an important part of life is all about

how getting up after

falling down.

And even more important:

Have fun !

A good week to all of you!

Weekend

2011-01-09T12:10:00.004+01:00

Just som lines and textures.

Happy Sunday to all of you!

Weather

2011-01-02T21:14:00.007+01:00

I går kjørte vi Norge på langs

- ca. 600 lange kilometer -

i heller dårlig vær.

Det tok sin tid for å si det forsiktig

og en ferge eller to mistet vi på veien

på grunn av det ekstremt dårlige føret.

Så mens vi ventet på fergene

så ungene film i baksetet

mens ho mor knipset enda flere rare bilder fra framsetet.

Yesterday we drove

600 kms

on icy and snowy roads.

Happy New Year

2010-12-30T22:04:00.007+01:00

Ingen fyrverkibilder,

men heller ekte fotonerdebilder i mange farger

for å avslutte 2010 og

for å si Godt Nytt år til alle dere

som har sett på bildene mine i år.

Det setter jeg veldig stor pris på!

No firework photos from me this year

but some colours anyway.

Thank you so much for following my blog

and for all your kind and inspiring comments through 2010.

Happy New Year 2011!

Skiing # 2

2010-12-28T05:30:00.001+01:00

Flere bilder fra gårsdagen.

Noen ganger bringer skituren en

rett fra skogen

og rett ned i fjæresteinene.

Det er ikke kjedelig å gå på ski

på Sunnmøre.

Skiing so close to the sea

and deep in the woods.

Blue hour - skiing

2010-12-27T08:30:00.000+01:00

This afternoon we went skiing by the ocean.

Blue hour - cold

2010-12-25T09:24:00.006+01:00

These pictures were taken yesterday,

on the 24th of December,

at the Old Devold Factory just outside Ålesund.

Another beautiful and very cold day.

Merry Christmas - Joyeux Noël - Feliz Navidad - God jul

2010-12-23T07:00:00.001+01:00

I hope you will have a wonderful, cheery, and happy Christmas!

Amaryllis - macro # 2 - black and white

2010-12-21T21:33:00.005+01:00

One more Amaryllis.

I just had to try developing it in

black and white.

ps I'm still without my camera and I really do miss it.

I don't think they will be able to fix it before Christmas.

Fortunately I can still borrow the Canon EOS 350d from Rune.

Amaryllis - macro

2010-12-20T06:45:00.005+01:00

Christmas is continuing to bring on

potential photo subjects.

I love the Amaryllis.

A good Monday and last week before Christmas to you all!

Snow and Christmas

2010-12-18T19:55:00.009+01:00

There's so much snow outside now

and it's so cold.

It really looks like a postcard.

The photos below are not from

this years christmas card photo session

but they could have been I guess.

I hopy you're having a nice weekend.

December 13th

2010-12-12T23:44:00.010+01:00

Christmas is coming up quickly

Outdoor

and

Indoor

I wish you all a very nice

and stressfree week!

Sunnmøre - winter

2010-12-07T22:50:00.006+01:00

I know I'm repeating myself.

All my pictures tend to focus on winter these days.

The obvious reason is of course the very cold weather.

Freezing - wind - snow - sun

2010-12-04T14:30:00.005+01:00

Just really, really cold!

The first ski trip of the season

2010-12-03T07:00:00.001+01:00

Convincing the children that falling down

while skiing

is just fun

seems to be the key to success.

I wish you all a very good weekend!

In the mountains - really cold

2010-11-28T20:51:00.009+01:00

We've been in the mountains

near Stryn this weekend.

It was really cold

and so beautiful.

We did a lot of skiing,

of course,

and the kids were also snowbathing.

(Ps the second shot is taken on the way there.

It was getting dark, and I only had the macro lense available.

I think the large aperture may be the reason for the kind of "surreal" look.)

Frost - crystals - macro

2010-11-24T22:26:00.007+01:00

So small and

so perfect.

Frost - abstracts - macro

2010-11-22T21:15:00.008+01:00

Frost:

patterns

textures

lines

abstracts...

...and one concrete:

Frost

2010-11-20T17:13:00.003+01:00

It's very cold in Norway these days.

Cold and beautiful.

This picture is taken with a 50 mm lense and a Canon eos 350d.

My camera is still not working,

but I'm very lucky and I've borrowed a camera while

waiting for mine to be fixed.

A very good weekend to all of you!

Happy Father's day!

2010-11-14T12:57:00.004+01:00

Her i huset feirer vi vel knapt farsdag.

Det går i barnelaget frokost

og barnelaget farsdagskake.

Lite til handelsstanden med andre ord

men noen tanker til pappaen likevel.

Hurra for alle pappaer!
Father's Day celebration
can be as simple as
making Father's Day breakfast.

Cuba - Havannah

2010-11-13T21:51:00.017+01:00

El Malécon;

the oddly beautiful Havana,

Cuba seafront

Since my camera is out of order,

I'm developping old pictures.

These are from

la Habanah;

Cuba.

The ten year old and I went there

one year ago.

Typical lunch:

Chicken and potatoes

in a box.

Not very delicate maybe, but actually very good.

The "Saint of houses" in The Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Havana.

Pardon me if I did not quite get this story right,

but I beleive the Cuban people who want a bigger and/or better house

buy small copies like those above

and then bring them to this Saint.

This would be their way of praying for a better house.

We were very lucky and were taken care of

of two Cuban women.

The library.

One of the main Plazas.

Contrasts.

I wish you all a very good weekend.

And thank you for all your kind comments!

I do really appreciate them!

Autum - going on winter

2010-11-08T21:37:00.006+01:00

I like trying to do abstract macro shots

where shapes and colours are more important than the actual

photo subject.

ps jeg har hatt verdens minst fotovennlige høst
av ymse årsaker
og knapt tatt noen bilder
men jeg håper at desember og utover blir en bedre tid i så måte.

Just some macro shots

2010-10-31T15:15:00.005+01:00

Bare noe macrobilder

rett og slett.

Snøen forsvant igjen,

så da benyttet jeg sjansen til å ta noen høstbilder.

This weekend there's now snow

so I've actually been able to shoot some "automnish" macros.

Flø - colours and light

2010-10-20T09:00:00.000+02:00

Some more pictures from Flø.

At the shipyard

2010-10-19T07:00:00.000+02:00

... in a big, big world.

The light at Flø

2010-10-17T21:49:00.009+02:00

I kveld var vi på tur til Flø

nær Ulstein kommune.

Flø er et bittelite sted
så værhardt som det kan bli
og så vakkert som det kan bli.

Ellers tusen takk for alle hilsener i forrige innlegg. Jeg rekker nok ikke å oppdatere bloggen så ofte som mange av dere, men innimellom skal den prioriteres og ikke minst når jeg har fått tatt bilder som i dag.

... with a view

2010-10-10T23:38:00.010+02:00

Liten hytte

med veldig mye utsikt!

Så forblåst at den må

bokstavelig talt

tjores fast i grunnen.

Morning at the mountain

2010-09-13T18:23:00.006+02:00

These pictures were taken this weekend

at the mountain Strynefjellet,

Western Norway.

Autumn - textures and light

2010-09-12T21:46:00.009+02:00

(regndråper og solstråler på edderkoppnett)

Helgene går så alt for fort.

Litt som årstidene kanskje.

Høsten kommer i alle fall snikende nå.

Og vakker er den jammen

i år også.

Monday is coming up too quickly

as is autumn

although beautiful.

I wish you all a very good week!

Autumn - Weekend Reflections # 5

2010-09-10T07:45:00.000+02:00

Autumn is happening!

Even though it's sunny one can not miss the

change of colours.

For more reflections
visit James.

I wish you all an excellent weekend!

Autumn - mist

2010-09-08T22:52:00.006+02:00

Litt vanlige landskapsbilder,

rett og slett.

Det er så fantastisk lys om morgenen nå

så i dag tok jeg meg tid til å stoppe med kameraet i 5 minutter.

Some pictures taken this morning.

Hiking with kids - again

2010-09-06T20:05:00.009+02:00

Bildene fra meg for tiden gjenspeiler det faktum at tiden flyr

som for de fleste av oss går jeg utfra

og bilder utover hverdagen blir en sjelden luksus...

Når det er sagt

anser jeg det som luksus å gå turer

med ungene.

Inn i mørke skoger...

... opp de bratteste skråninger

(så bratt at jeg er redd ungene kan trille utfor,

men det gjør de jo ikke...

De ELSKER å måtte klatre.

Flate "opparbeidede" stier er langt mer kjedelig

og går faktisk mer trått for små føtter

enn når de må planlegge

skritt for skritt

klatre og holde seg fast.)

Og belønningen

den er lik for liten og stor:

Lite slår en utsikt som denne.

These photos were shot yesterday.

I find myself shooting and developing almost only

everyday shots like these.
Hiking with the kids is a luxury though.
One that one must not forget to appreciate.

Hiking - mountains

2010-09-02T05:30:00.000+02:00

We are very lucky

to have such beautiful mountains nearby where we

can go hiking.

These pictures were taken last Sunday

at the mountain Sulafjellet

just south of Ålesund.

Yo Yo - alternative ways to play

2010-08-28T22:07:00.008+02:00

Ikke lett å være 5 år å ha en jojo med tråd

lengre enn seg selv.

Veien er kort mellom total katastrofe

og den fineste lek.

Peaceful - The weekend in black and white VI

2010-08-20T15:19:00.006+02:00

5 years old - at the top of the world

2010-08-16T08:00:00.001+02:00

Det merkes at barna blir større:

Fjellturene går betraktelig lettere nå,

og det uten bestikkelser over en lav sko...

Bildene er tatt på Sulafjellet

like sør for Ålesund.

Ett virkelig flott fjell å gå tur i

for store og små.

Butterfly blues

2010-08-14T19:58:00.005+02:00

There's a first for everything and this is

my very fist Butterfly shot.

Of course the last one is no way near sharp

but as I caught it in mid air

I just had to post it anyway;)

A reflection inside a droplet - Weekend reflections

Ps do you think that the size of the photo is too large?
Can you see it properly on your screens?

Orchid droplets

2010-08-12T22:23:00.006+02:00

Noen macrobilder.

Dråpen henger på en av de små

trådene, nær støvbæreren på orkidéen.

Just some macro pictures.

Board games - rainy days fun

2010-08-11T19:03:00.009+02:00

Brettspill har blitt en skikkelig slager i sommer.

Trolig mye grunnet været

som ikke akkurat tillot overdreven

bading.

Når det er sagt synes ungene her i huset

at både Kinasjakk og Den forsvunne Diamanten var så spennende

at de ble behørig brukte også når solen skinte.

Board games can really fill

rainy days

(we had a lot of those this summer).

Actually the kids enjoyed it so much that they left their

Nintendo DS for Chinese Checkers

even on sunnier days.

Morning fog II

2010-08-07T22:26:00.006+02:00

Some more pictures taken on my way to work.

The Vega Islands II

2010-08-02T22:57:00.011+02:00

Some more pictures from

the Vega islands.

These islands are inscribed by UNESCO

on the World Heritage Site list as

representative of "the way generations of

fishermen and farmers have lived

over the past 1,500 years".

Robinson Crusoe - almost - Northern Norway

2010-08-01T00:00:00.007+02:00

This tiny, little island

is not even on our map...

The whitest beaches,

and the coldest water.

Torghatten - the weekend in black and white III

2010-07-31T11:30:00.008+02:00

(click to enlarge)

Hiking with kids;

a very rainy day,

to the mountain Torghatten.

Torghatten is known for it's natural hole,

or tunnel (formed during the ice age).

It took us no more than 10 minutes to climb up to the hole,

and then another 5 minutes

to walk through the tunnel.

An excellent trip to do with kids.

The view is really magnificient too.

More pictures in black and white.

Northern Norway - Vega - summer

2010-07-30T15:15:00.009+02:00

The pictures are from the Vega Islands

in the Northern parts of Norway.

It comprises 6000 islands and skerries

and is truly a small paradise on earth.

At the playground - light

2010-07-22T00:51:00.005+02:00

Almost cute?

2010-07-18T15:05:00.006+02:00

Just some more macro shots.

Summer is happening and although I do take a lot of pictures

I don't seem to have the time to blog them.

I hope you're all having an excellent summer!

Old tree - the weekend in black & white II

2010-07-17T12:47:00.004+02:00

You may click on the picture to enlarge it.

Colourful macros

2010-07-13T23:36:00.003+02:00

Ei skogstjerne og en rosa margeritt (tror jeg).

Også førstnevnte har

mange farger

bare en kommer nære nok.

Macro - raindrops

2010-07-12T09:50:00.006+02:00

Sun, Rain and

macro pictures.

Ferry boat - in no hurry

2010-07-11T18:21:00.007+02:00

Fergen går så snart

fisken er fanget...

Heldigvis fungerer kameraet fint som

tidtrøyte

når ventetiden blir lang.

Light - the weekend in black and white

2010-07-10T15:07:00.004+02:00

This picture was taken while I was waiting for a ferryboat

two days ago in Hjørundfjord.

More pictures in black and white.

Fjords and mountains

2010-07-09T15:38:00.012+02:00

Hellesylt and Norangdalen

are places one should absolutely visit

in Norway.

The small cottages (cf. last picture) were used by

the young girls from Norangdal

every summer for grazing and milking the cows.

Miniature golf - in the forest

2010-07-08T23:16:00.007+02:00

Minigolf får i sannhet en ekstra

dimensjon i seg når en må

sikte og slå slalom

mellom barnåler, kvister og buskas.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a lot of holes-in-one
but loads of fun.

Blues

2010-07-06T01:15:00.003+02:00

Launching - vessel

2010-07-04T06:00:00.002+02:00

Some industrial shots.

It's hard not to feel small

watching the launch of this

big vessel.
