Macro photo of crowberry and some evergreen shrubs
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera 26th March, 2007. Click image for larger view.

I really enjoy taking photos of the small wonders in nature. Like these crowberries (Empetrum nigrum) that are remains from last summer.

Crowberries is a small evergreen shrub with edible black fruit. They are not used much here, but are getting more popular for making juice and wine.

This is one of the moments when you look out of the window and you just have to take a picture. It had been overcast all day, but finally at the end of the day some sunlight came through the heavy clouds.

Photo of pebble beach and a mountain covered in snow

This beach is very special. It is filled with millions of these pebbles and it is pretty steep so it is real hard to walk it.
When big waves hit it produce an unique sound when the pebbles roll out.

The mountain in the background is called Drangen.

Photo of moon over winter mountain
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera February 26th 2007. Click image for larger view.

Had to capture this moment when the moon was in such a great position.
The mountain you see is called “KrÃ¥ketindan”, Peaks of the Crow in English, and is about 800 meters above sea level.
Soon I will venture up there to take some mountain pictures. Still a bit too much snow to trek safely.

Photo of great black-backed gull

Photo of great black backed seagull
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera April 22nd 2007. Click image for larger view.

This is a great black backed gull (Larus marinus).
It is the biggest kind of seagull with it’s length of 61-74cm and wingspan of 1.4 to 1.7m. A grown gull weighs 1.5-2kg.

I find this bird very fascinating with it’s very coarse cries and rough behaviour. I have seen them snap the neck of smaller seagulls, eating eider ducklings alive and swallowing pretty large cod fish in one gulp.

Check out my other bird photos.
