This is the island I come from viewed from the neighbour island Rolla. In the horizon on the left you can see Senja.
The snow is retreating fast 🙂

Hope everyone had a nice Labour Day!

Macro photo of crowberry and some evergreen shrubs
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera 26th March, 2007. Click image for larger view.

I really enjoy taking photos of the small wonders in nature. Like these crowberries (Empetrum nigrum) that are remains from last summer.

Crowberries is a small evergreen shrub with edible black fruit. They are not used much here, but are getting more popular for making juice and wine.

Photo of pebble beach and a mountain covered in snow
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera March 11th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This beach is very special. It is filled with millions of these pebbles and it is pretty steep so it is real hard to walk it.
When big waves hit it produce an unique sound when the pebbles roll out.

The mountain in the background is called Drangen.

Photo of moon over winter mountain
Taken with Olympus E-500 digital camera February 26th 2007. Click image for larger view.

Had to capture this moment when the moon was in such a great position.
The mountain you see is called “KrÃ¥ketindan”, Peaks of the Crow in English, and is about 800 meters above sea level.
Soon I will venture up there to take some mountain pictures. Still a bit too much snow to trek safely.
