Photo of Norwegian winter landscape in January
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on January 30th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This was shot back in January when I had just got my DSLR camera and had no idea about what I was doing. I quite like the “postcard” feeling to it.

This house is placed directly below a mountain called Ã…-tinden. You can see the mountain here. You can not be afraid of avalanches and live there!

Photo of winter mountain and pebble beach
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on March 23rd 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo was taken back in March when there was still lots of snow around.
I really love this beach full of millions of small pebble stones. It is very special to walk on it and listen to waves rolling in.

The reason I’m posting this photo today is that I was contacted on Flickr about this particular picture. The person contacting me are making a book about “Hurtigruten” (English: Costal Express) in Norway and wanted to use this shot in their book. I’m very excited about this because I have never been printed before!
The project is very low budget so all I’m getting from it is a free book and of course my name in it, but the satisfaction of getting printed is payment enough.

Huritigruten (or Hurtigruta as we call it in northern Norway) is a passenger and freight line that sails daily along most of of our long coastline. The trip takes 11 days and is very popular among tourists.

The summer is upon us so it is nice to look back at the colder season and enjoy the warmth!

Got some other photos of the seawall with waves hitting it, here and here.

Raven flying into Gods Eye

Raven flying into Gods Eye
Taken on April 17th 2007. Click image for larger view.

I was hunting down this Common Raven (Corvus corax) with my camera and suddenly it took flight. My camera was in manual mode and was not set to take a photo with the sun in it.
I must say I’m pleased with the result as it is somewhat different. Might call this photo an accident 😉

Check out my other photos of ravens:
