Picture from the beach - First sunlight in Northern Norway this year
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera February 3rd 2008. Click image for larger view.
I was taking a walk on the beach when suddenly the sun created some nice light behind the mountains. There was also some reflections in the windy ocean so I had to get down on my knees to take a picture.
The foam and rocks in the foreground makes the composition more interesting to me.

Close up picture of young European magepie bird (Pica pica)
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera June 26th 2007. Click image for larger view.
In this picture you can see a young European magepie (Pica pica). This bird had just come out of its nest. It was not the slightest afraid of humans and thus I was able to get very close to take some photos.
The magpies are plentiful here in Northern Norway and are known to steal shiny objects like glasses or silverware. Not sure if there is any truth to this or maybe it is just a legend?

Here is some other bird photos.

Loved the beautiful light this evening. The harbor is surrounded by a seawall that makes the sea calm and perfect for reflecting nice sunsets. I thank my forefathers (they made the seawall in 1916) for creating good picture opportunities 🙂

Check out this photo of the harbor covered in snow and with more light available.

I love massive cloud formations and today there were some really nice ones here in Northern Norway. It was snowing a little when I took this picture so it was nice to see the sun shine brightly on the clouds.

Check out this photo of cloud formations and midnight sun.

Picture of bad weather on the west coast of Senja in Northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 27th 2008. Click image for larger view.
I was visiting the island Senja this weekend, but the weather was really bad with blizzards hitting us all the time. In between the snowfalls I was able to go outside and have a look (and take a few pictures) at the ocean in turmoil. In this picture you can see the west coast of Senja where the island meets the Norwegian Sea and next piece of land is Greenland. The waves can be massive if the wind come from the right (wrong?) direction.
The mountain on the left is called “Teisten”.

Check out some of my other pictures of waves here and here.
