  • Touchdown!

    No, not a football (sorry – pansy American men with too much padding on) score, but a duck landing. I always seem to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, a lack of patience seems to be my downfall. This one came out ok though.

  • Little bastard

    This kid was running around scaring all the birds for about 10 minutes. Where were the parents I hear you ask? I don’t know, but I wanted to shout at them.

  • 17th of May

    …is the national day here in Norway. It celebrates the signing of the constitution in 1814 at Eidsvoll. Happy 17th of May!

  • Myrull

    What does myrull mean in English? I don’t know, but it’s one of nature’s oddities.

  • Tulips

    No, we’re not in The Netherlands today, it’s Stavanger town centre with a new lens and some great flowers:)

  • Waterfall

    We went on a boat trip last Saturday, in to the Lysefjord. It’s really something special in there, the sheer walls rising almost straight up from up to 1000 metres below sea level  all the way to 1000 metres above sea level. Anyway, there are multiple waterfalls in there, and the boat sails really close…

  • Wildlife

    This weeks Photo Friday challenge is “Wildlife”. Although the ducks around Mosvannet can in no way be called wild, they’re at least not totally tame. It also gave me the opportunity to try out my new f/4 70-200 lens:)

  • Pretty in pink

    Last of spring flowers for a while, but these pink blooms were worth capturing:) I seem to have got a touch of spring lethargy today, really tired and unmotivated. Remedies anyone?

  • Kind of Blue

    May is the month of the MaiJazz festival in Stavanger and so I thought I’d celebrate by taking a picture of a song title. No, not really. Of course I took the picture of the flowers first and then I took the title from Miles Davis’ brilliant recording of the same name. Absolutely chucking it…

  • Springing leaves

    These days the leaves are springing out and the green colours are at their most intense. It’s been a weekend of few photos, my girlfriend’s sister has been visiting and we’ve been too busy drinking too much and eating well for photos. BTW I’m now on Twitter if you want to follow me. My name…

  • The ride to work

    This morning it was really nice and sunny outside when I took the dog for a walk, and I managed to get a shot of a man on his way to work, riding on the path by the lake next to my flat. It’s so pleasant now that the foliage is out on the trees,…

  • More colours

    So, with the “Brown” challenge laid down, I thought I’d go for some more colours today. Yellow and green are the colours of the day. I’ll try to find some blue soon as well:)
