The sunset from a few days ago made the snow in the mountains glow in shades of red. Had to take a picture of this phenomenon when a star appeared, in the evening, over the mountain peaks.

I’m off to visit the beautiful island Senja this weekend. Hope I can show you all some nice pictures from that place next week 🙂

The sun has finally come back here in Northern Norway, but because of clouds I have yet to actually see it. Later in the afternoon I got to see this spectacular winter sunset and because of the warm, still weather it felt like spring time. Had to take some pictures to share the sunset with you 🙂

Picture of full moon rising and clouds above mountain in Northern Norway

The moon is full today so had to take a picture of it rising above a mountain peak here in Northern Norway. I liked the way the moon lightened up the clouds that were skittering across the sky.
But I wish I had a lens with longer reach or a good telescope!

Check out my other moon photos here.

Picture of Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) bird
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera April 6th 2007. Click image for larger view.
This picture, of a snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) bird, was taken back in April when flocks of snow buntings pass through on their way to the breeding grounds in the north.
It looks like their plumage fits perfectly to the environment here in Northern Norway. Sometimes it can be very hard to spot the snow buntings!
Check out my other bird photos here.
