Took this picture back in February when the forest was filled with snow. I think the scene looks like it is taken straight out of “The Chronicles of Narnia” with all the snow hanging on the Norway Spruce.

This place can be quite spooky in the summer as the trees make a very dark passage in the forest.

Black and white photography is not a thing I have done much of, but I think it suited very well with these wonderful snow textures. The wind is a talented artist!

You might notice that the photo was taken back in February. Have been a bit busy and it have been raining all the time so few photos lately. Hope it will change soon 🙂

Row of Norwegian boathouses on a winter day
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera February 15th 2007. Click image for larger view.

I really liked the rural look on this row of boathouses. The grass roof doesn’t hurt the scene with it’s old look. Boathouses like this represent the old fishing culture here in Norway in a good way. I hope people will take care of these beautiful buildings!

This is also my most popular photo on Flickr. It has received almost 11,000 views and been made favorite 70 times. It reached the fourth position in Flickr Explore on the day the picture was uploaded.
Flickr Explore is an algorithm that chooses the 500 most popular pictures (out of millions!) being uploaded to Flickr each day so it is quite an honor to reach the fourth position.

In this picture I have used something called HDR (High dynamic range) to make the picture look a bit different.

Photo of raven sitting on an old tiled stone roof
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera April 23rd 2007. Click image for larger view.

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”.

Photo of old fishing boat against old snow filled mountain in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 17th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo of an old Norwegian fishing boat was taken on the first day I owned my fine Olympus E-500 camera. I have learned a lot about photography since then, but I still like this photo. I don’t think it’s too bad for a first try?

The same fishing boat and mountain can be seen in this photo, but in a warmer setting 🙂
