This sunset was incredible red and I just had to take a photo of the moment the sun disappeared in the ocean. It is at times like this I enjoy living in northern Norway.

A bit earlier that day I photographed this picture. Turned out to be my most popular photo on this blog so far 🙂

Close up photo documenting life on the coast - snails and algea
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on August 26th, 2007. Click picture for larger view.

I really enjoy walking the coast and observe all the life living amongst the rocks, pebbles, sand and seaweed. My macro lens is a perfect tool to take photos of all this wonderful life.
Here you can see some snails and algae (I think it is gut weed (Ulva intestinalis)). Also notice all the beautiful details and colors in the sand/rocks.

Check out this other macro photo from the coast. It’s of a snail with seaweed as background. Liked the composition on that one.

It was raining all day, but I really felt like photographing so I went for a trip on one of our sandy beaches. Here you can see some typical Norwegian autumn weather with wind and rain.
Hope there will be some more warm days before the winter hits us.

Photo of raven sitting on an old tiled stone roof

Back in April I found this raven sitting on the roof our boathouse. Maybe it was Hugin or Munin?

Loved the way it the black raven created a contrast to the white snow-covered mountains and blue sky.

The mountains you see are located on the island Senja (the second largest island in Norway).

Check out my photo of a raven flying into “Gods eye”.
