    Out of the mist comes light

    Or at least electricity wires, which amounts to the same thing. This weekend the weather was clear down by the river where we live but the fog was thick as pea soup up by the church on the top of the hill. Still, at least it’s not snowing. Yet.

  • Bridge over (not very) troubled water

    It looks like winter’s coming, so I hurried out the other night to get this photo of a bridge I’ve fished under before it snows and it isn’t possible any more. I think the street lamps and the lights from the sports arena give a ghostly quality to the light. [twitter style=”vertical” float=”left”] [fbshare type=”button”]…

  • Foggy night

    The local church sits atop the hill behind the flat. Quite often it’s foggy up at the church and clear at the bottom, but the floodlights make up for it. They give a ghostly glow to the place.

    Little church by night

    It was midnight and the moon was up….not quite. 9 o’clock in the evening though, and the moon bit was true. Tanum kirke was really pretty last night, all floodlit and moonlit.  

  • Drip Drip

    Drip Drip

    Like I keep saying it’s been raining a lot recently and today was no exception. Yesterday, however was great. Warm(ish) autumn sunshine made for a perfect day for a walk round the neighbourhood. I came across this little trough with a homemade drainpipe leading to it. This weeks photofriday challenge is slick.   

  • Leave me

    Leave me

    It’s blowing outside and the trees are losing their cover ever faster. Standing on a small island in the river at dusk gave a great frame to the leaves fluttering overhead.  

  • Time passes by

    It really is the end of the summer (as that weird season of clouds and rain was known). Leaves falling off the trees, cold mornings, even colder evenings and the promise a long winter to come. Still, the colours are nice though.   [fbshare type=”button”] [linkedin_share style=”none” float=”left”] [google_plusone size=”standard” float=”left”] [twitter style=”vertical” float=”left”]

  • Where the fish go to mate

    Where the fish go to mate

    So, the fishing season is finished, and no fish for yours truly. The good stuff is about to begin though, with the mating season coming up now. We went up to the top of the river and checked out the pool just below the dam that is the final stop on the way up. We…

  • Yellow movement

    Yellow movement

    Autumn has come to our part of Norway, and that means lots of colour. The fishing season is finished too, no fish for me this year, but at least I’ve had a good time.  

  • Flom

    Flom

    Did I mention that it’s been raining? A lot? The river usually meanders along at about 5 cubic metres a second. Today it peaked at 94! I think the word unfishable applies. Except for the guy who fished with worms and got 3 in four casts. Bastard.
