Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera April 23rd 2007. Click image for larger view.
Back in April I found this raven sitting on the roof our boathouse. Maybe it was Hugin or Munin?
Loved the way it the black raven created a contrast to the white snow-covered mountains and blue sky.
The mountains you see are located on the island Senja (the second largest island in Norway).
Check out my photo of a raven flying into “Gods eye”.

Interesting creatures; we have a lot of them around here. I always thought it was strange that they do so well in the northern countries, such as yours, and also do well where I live, which is basically high altitude desert. They are also very intelligent, for birds.
that’s cool i like how the black raven contrasts the white snow to.
excellent photo! love the contrast of black on white…
Lovely photo and great contrast! Just a short comment… because of the white background you’ve lost detail on the Raven itself.
Otherwise a beat of a shot!
but what a background!!!!!!!
stunning shot

I smiled looking at this photo. The Raven is to the left, perched on a tiled roof with this expanse of roof and broad mountain. It suggests to me the Raven knows he has independence, here or there, on the ground or in the air and, with his head cocked high, telling the world, ‘I am here, I am here! master of my life!’
