I planted a cherry tree this spring and now my first ever berries are ripe. I’m kind of amazed that they would become edible so far north and let me tell you that they taste great 🙂
Not many berries to harvest this year because the tree is still so young.

I photographed the cherry flowers back in June. Check out the photo here.

I woke up today to snow covering the mountain peaks. It is a sign that autumn will soon be coming here in northern Norway, but it makes a pretty picture don’t you think?

The mountain peaks are 1000 meters above the sea.

This sunset was incredible red and I just had to take a photo of the moment the sun disappeared in the ocean. It is at times like this I enjoy living in northern Norway.

A bit earlier that day I photographed this picture. Turned out to be my most popular photo on this blog so far 🙂

Close up photo documenting life on the coast – snails and algae

Close up photo documenting life on the coast - snails and algea
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on August 26th, 2007. Click picture for larger view.

I really enjoy walking the coast and observe all the life living amongst the rocks, pebbles, sand and seaweed. My macro lens is a perfect tool to take photos of all this wonderful life.
Here you can see some snails and algae (I think it is gut weed (Ulva intestinalis)). Also notice all the beautiful details and colors in the sand/rocks.

Check out this other macro photo from the coast. It’s of a snail with seaweed as background. Liked the composition on that one.
