Found these duck tracks, or maybe it is tracks from a big seagull, while walking on the beach. Wonder where the bird was heading..
Maybe it was looking for a nice crab snack?

We had a fantastic sunset today so I had to run down on the beach to capture a picture of the moment.
Been a very hot and nice summer day so this sunset was a perfect end to it.
I’m painting the outside of a house so the warmth can get a little too much, but I’m glad I can work outside and not be stuck in an office or something 😉

I found the red/pink clouds to match the red boat house so I thought this scene would make a nice photo.
I’m starting to get a nice collection of photos with boat houses in them. Check them out here.

This photo was taken as the same time period as this sunset picture.

Photo from the beach at midnight in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on July 11th, 2007. Click image for larger view.

I love walking the beach at midnight when it is summer. Everything is calm and all you can hear is the sound of the nature; sea gulls crying, waves rolling the beach and the sound of your feet walking the sand. Walks on the beach are soothing for my mind, body and spirit. I recommend it!

This photo was taken with my new sweet wide angle lens. So far this lens is threating me very good 🙂

Photo of winter mountain and pebble beach
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on March 23rd 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo was taken back in March when there was still lots of snow around.
I really love this beach full of millions of small pebble stones. It is very special to walk on it and listen to waves rolling in.

The reason I’m posting this photo today is that I was contacted on Flickr about this particular picture. The person contacting me are making a book about “Hurtigruten” (English: Costal Express) in Norway and wanted to use this shot in their book. I’m very excited about this because I have never been printed before!
The project is very low budget so all I’m getting from it is a free book and of course my name in it, but the satisfaction of getting printed is payment enough.

Huritigruten (or Hurtigruta as we call it in northern Norway) is a passenger and freight line that sails daily along most of of our long coastline. The trip takes 11 days and is very popular among tourists.
