Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 31st 2008. Click image for larger view.
In this black and white picture you can see the house that I grew up in. It is located at the tip of a small headland called Laupstad, one of the most idyllic places in Northern Norway (in my humble opinion).
The cloud formations on this day was stunning and I found them fitting as a background for the old house and barn.
I converted this picture into black and white and added some vignetting because to me this looks much like the rural scenes I have seen in old photographs from Northern Norway.
The same house can be seen in this picture where you can see how close it is placed to the wild ocean and this photo (in colors) when the sun has just come back.

An incredibly idyllic place to grow up. It looks a little barren but I love that look. You have captured a memorable feeling in the b/w. I also love the colour one with the sunlight – magical.
Beautiful! The cloud formation is stunning!
Lovely shot, I love your photos of Norway. Your country is really like no place I have ever seen-either in person or in pictures.

Wow. What a wonderful place. Lucky u.
The black and white shot is pretty with different shades. I would like to visit your beautiful country someday.
Beautiful as usual Tom. And a headland with your name. Wow:-)
Pictoresque! Couldn’say anything less!

The clouds are most beautiful and the black and white works really well with them!

Looks cold there. This gives me an ominous yet tranquil feeling. Looks like a hell of a view.
