Close up photos of an Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus)

In this picture you can see a close up shot of an Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) that I fished earlier this year. This fish is so tasteful that my mouth waters just by writing this and despite it looks, its my favorite fish to eat 😉
The Atlantic halibut is one of the biggest flastfishes on our planet. It can become over 3 meters long and weigh well over 300 kg. The one I caught wasn’t not even close to those sizes and weighed about 4-5 kg. It still gave me quite a fight when I tried to reel it in with my fishing rod.
If you should ever have to luck of getting a big Atlantic halibut you have to be careful when you get it into your boat. I have heard a story about a man that was found dead with the halibuts tail deep inside his breast. They are very powerful!

Another photo from my fishing trip this weekend. I love the contrast between the white snow covered mountains peaks and the autumn-colored forest you can see in this picture. The calm ocean and the somewhat dramatic clouds are also nice.

The weather was extremely nice that day, unlike today with strong winds and heavy rain showers!

What a wonderful day it was to be out on the sea here in northern Norway. The sea was completely calm and the clouds was amazing so a perfect day for a fishing trip. In this photo you can see my uncle steering my boat to the fishing grounds. Did not catch much fish, but it was a very nice trip on the fjord.

Is it just me or are the clouds and the reflection in the calm sea just down right beautiful?

Old fishing boat on a calm sea

I find these old fishing boats made of tree very beautiful. Hope to own one myself some day..

Maybe you wont believe me, but I’m standing on a pier with the pretty large town Harstad right behind me. This scenery doesn’t look very urban, does it?
I was staying in Harstad for 3 weeks attending a course and had a real hard time finding things to take photos of. I’m glad to be back home where there are more nature to walk around in 🙂

The mountains in the back are from the islands Rolløya and Andørja (where I live).

Last light on a winter day with Venus showing up
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on March 6th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo was shot on back in the beginning of March this year and I actually miss the winter a little bit.
I don’t miss the cold, but miss the light that is very special in winter. Now it’s daylight 24 hours a day and that is not so exciting photography wise.
Each season has good sides 🙂

You can see Venus shining over the boatshed and fjord making the scenery even nicer.
