Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 22nd 2007. Click image for larger view.
What beautiful and warm day here at the coast in northern Norway. I really like it when it’s 20C and slightly overcast. Anything warmer get to hot for my arctic body 🙂
Here I’m crawling between pebbles trying to make a good composition at ground level while not getting too wet from water seeping in from the ocean. When I take pictures I always think “How can I make this scene/subject more interesting” thus I often find myself in back-breaking positions.

I am so glad you peeked in today on me as I am trying to rebuild my blog roll and you are a definite. Now you would think that growing up in Texas that I could not relate to your tempature level of comfort. However, after 9 yrs. in the state of Maine…..40%Farenheit on a sunny day was glorious. it took me about 3 yrs. to get used to the hot temps. in the SW US when we moved back. Great photo!
Wonderful! I love the sky, the colours – everything! I like the way you have the large pebble in the foreground with its shadow showing as well. And the pinky/orangy colour in the sky underneath the cloud.
Another great composition
Wonderful place!! I supose is cold right? but great view!!! Chiao
Great photos!
I put you as a Flickr friend too…
great day-

I like the textures of the shore, and that of the clouds against the sky.
Lovely seascape and that sky is really neat.
Why f/11 ??? Why not f/22?????
Either way great shot!!!!!
Shinade: Thanks a lot for blog rolling me! Sound like Maine suits me much more than Texas 🙂
Island Girl: Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Peter: Thanks so much for stopping by!
Xiomara: Hehe, it was actually pretty warm that day. At least by my standards 😉
Ruth: Thanks. I added you too.
BobC and BobG: Lol at the names! Thanks for comments!
John: Thanks 🙂
I chose f11 because everything over that has some difraction since I use a camera with a 4/3 sensor. I think you need a fullframe sensor camera to get no difraction at f22.
Not sure how much it matters with landscape shots?
I love this shot – especially how youve captured the sky reflected in the water and the way the sky and water offset the pebbles & rocks – well captured!

Nice shot, well framed and the tones are quiet good unless the contrast. keep going !
Amazing photography, just makes me want to jump on a plane and just get there. To enjoy it in person of course!
I love how you captured layer upon layer of the textured sky, the horizon, the light dancing off the water surface, the darkness of the rocks.
Wow, beautiful shot! 😀
Beautiful!
Crawling around trying to get the best shot, that sounds very familiar….
It’s worse when you do it in public and people start giving you weird looks!
Hi – i love your work – very atmospheric and the skies are beautiful – much more dramamtic than South Africa where I come from- I would love it if you visited my site – I am a painter and I have just done a new portrait called “lady in Red” – please tell me what you think I would love to join your site if I may.Thank you

Totally spectacular. You take such amazing photographs.
you have a very interesting site – i once visited Haugesund and Stavanger but that was a long time ago – nice to see such good photos from such a different looking landscape!
Beautiful doesn’t really seem to convey the emotions that are evoked.
Nature often takes our breath away as well as the ability to express it with only words.
Oh, what wouldn’t I give to live at 20°c? The temperatures here go higher than 38°c 🙁 Nonetheless, you actually made me feel the “warmth” of the atmosphere; it is indeed an astonishing shot.
