This is the island I come from viewed from the neighbour island Rolla. In the horizon on the left you can see Senja.
The snow is retreating fast 🙂

Hope everyone had a nice Labour Day!

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 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.
