Picture from a cottongrass (Eriophorum) marsh in northern Norway

I liked the light on this marsh so had to photograph the cottongrass (Eriophorum). The sunlight came seeping trough a small forest that was growing at the outskirts of the marsh. I think cottongrass is a beautiful plant with its fluffy appearance.

This photo was taken at 9PM in the evening so the sun was pretty low. 2 hours later the sun had gone behind the mountains and mist started to appear on the marshes. Check out this photo of the mist. One of my personal favorites 🙂

These red sunsets are so beautiful and I had to, once again, photograph the pretty scene. This picture was taken at 9:30 PM in the evening so the days are getting shorter and shorter here in northern Norway.

Take a look at this photo that I took back in May. That was the most amazing red sunset I have ever seen!

Photo of seagull taking flight on a cold and snowy winter day in northern Norway

I captured this great black-backed seagull taking flight back in April. Really enjoyed the color and textures of the ocean. In the horizon you can see snow clouds bringing in a blizzard that are so common here in northern Norway when we have winter.

Check out this close up photo of the great black-backed seagull if you want to see better what this cool bird looks like.

Macro picture of a sawfly with blue eyes

Time for another macro photo of an insect. This time I have captured a sawfly (Rhogogaster viridis) clinging to a straw.
I really like the blue eyes on this sawfly. If you look at my other sawfly photo you can see that sawfly having a different eye color. I believe they are different species.
Need to get myself an insect book to educate myself on the nature around me.

Check out my other insect photos if you digg insects!

Close up photo of a water drop against yellow lichen with reflection of me, the sun and a mountain
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on March 11th, 2007. Click picture for larger view.

I photographed this water drop back in March when there was still winter and not much living things around me. In the winter it can be hard to find colors up here in northern Norway, but you can find wonders in nature if you look hard enough.
Really liked the way the yellow lichen created a nice background against the falling water drops.

Try to click the image to look at it large. Can you see me in the reflection?
You should also be able to see the sun and a big mountain. It is the same mountain as you can see in this photo and this photo.
