    Fun with bubbles

    Out at my sisters cabin the other day the kids were having great fun with a bubble machine. I say kids, I was having great fun too:)

  • Red sky at night, sailors delight

    Red sky at night, sailors delight

    The tall ships races are coming to Stavanger next week and what better way to introduce them than to have  a great red sky. Red sky at night, sailors delight.  

  • Things to do on a rainy day

    Things to do on a rainy day

    The weather has been atrocious today so what to do? I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to take some stylised baby photos like you see in photographers gallery windows. I’ve got a long way to go, but this is a first effort.

  • Size

    Size

    Size matters. At least if you’re a cruise ship. The ships that visit Stavanger regularly tower over the small houses in the old town. The tourists provide a good living for the guide industry.

  • Come with me!

    Come with me!

    My nephew has been looking forward to having a visit from CC the dog, and we went down to the local playground yesterday. Unfortunately for the wee man, the dog was more interested in the stick she had than him.

  • Happy chappy

    We’ve had a bit of a family weekend. Today we went for a nice walk through some backwoods here in Bærum, and the wee man seemed to enjoy it.

    It’s been raining a lot here recently. The camera hasn’t really been out that much, but I’ve managed to get a few shots off. This weeks photofriday challenge is “Sharp Focus”

  • The Opera

    The Opera

    We were at the Opera in Oslo last weekend with my aunt and uncle from the UK. The Opera is a really well designed building and they’ve made sure that you can walk all over it and look at it from every angle. This week’s photofriday challenge is “building”.

  • 3 shady reflections

    In Drammen the other day, I came across a sphere by the riverbank that had a sort of “loudspeaker” look on one side. So there was a convex shape, a concave shape, and a more convex shape, all in the space of about 50cm. A shady day let the same building come throught 3 times.…

  • After the rain

    After the rain

    It’s been a strange few days. The mercury’s been hovering around the 24 degree mark, but it’s been absolutely chucking it down with rain. My 100mm macro f/2.8L really comes in to it’s own in these conditions.

  • Bridge over troubled office

    Bridge over troubled office

    This weeks Photofriday challenge is People. I was in Drammen today and I saw the reflection of this pedestrian bridge in an office window.

  • Contrast

    Contrast

    Sandvika is a place of contrasts. On the one hand, the politicans have ruined an old town centre by allowing a shopping centre monsrosity to be built there. (Oh, and there’s the  6 lane motorway going through the town too.) On the other hand, a pretty river runs through the town and Claude Monet lived…
