Found this view of sunbeams over the ocean to be very beautiful so had to take a picture. Love the way the sunrays comes out of the clouds.
Maybe something divine is hiding behind the clouds?

What beautiful and warm day here at the coast in northern Norway. I really like it when it’s 20C and slightly overcast. Anything warmer get to hot for my arctic body 🙂

Here I’m crawling between pebbles trying to make a good composition at ground level while not getting too wet from water seeping in from the ocean. When I take pictures I always think “How can I make this scene/subject more interesting” thus I often find myself in back-breaking positions.

What are your opinions on this photo?

Photo of midnight sunset and some amazing clouds
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 12th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo was taken through my bedroom window at midnight. I guess it’s not really a sunset because the sun is not setting in the horizon. The midnight sun is just hiding behind the mountains.

What I really found striking with this scene, was the massive cloud formations. Don’t you want to fly up there, lie down in the cotton clouds and get a tan from the midnight sun? Sounds like a nice dream to me 🙂

Photo from midnight stroll on the beach
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 11th 2007. Click image for larger view.

It had been raining all day, but as the bedtime was closing in the weather was clearing up so I had to go for a walk on the beach.
The midnight sun helped me enjoy the walk and luckily I had brought the camera.

Who needs to sleep in the summer? Lots of time for that in the winter 😉

The village silhouette you can see in the horizon is the village Laupstad where I grew up and got my last name for. The mountains are a part of the large island Senja.
