Been overcast for several days so here is a picture from February.

Boatsheds are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Be sure to check my other boatshed pictures.

The snowy mountain is called “KrÃ¥ketindan” which means “The Crow Peaks” in English and is about 800 meters above sea level.

Macro photo of ant dragging a spider
Taken 6th May, 2007. Click image for larger view.

As I have said before, macro photography is so much fun and a real challenge when you try to capture moving insects.
I believe the ant is some kind of wood ant (Formica rufa), but I have no idea what species the spider is.

I bet some of my readers have the knowledge. Feel free to write a comment with the information about species as I always love to learn new stuff about the nature.

Camera: Olympus E-500 digital single-lens reflex camera
Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 35 mm

Photo of sunset on the beach at 10 PM

The days are getting longer and longer. This picture were taken at 10 PM in evening!
The nights are also getting very light and as I’m writing this, at 2 AM, the horizon is still orange.
We are just talking about a couple of weeks before the midnight sun is showing up here. I will be capturing it so you might want to visit this site later 🙂

Seeing this in real life was very breathtaking and I have to admit that the picture does not give credit to the sight.

Aperture: f/5
Focal Length: 30 mm

Photo from the coast in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera April 13th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This is a very popular beach in the summer with people coming from all the small villages on Andørja. You can see the sandy part below the white house.

I made this shot because of the dramatic clouds and light streaming through from the sun.
As you can see I’m standing in a river. The combined sound of a river and waves hitting the shore is very nice!

Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/11
Focal Length: 16 mm
