  • Raindrops on a Swedish window

    Raindrops on a Swedish window

    It rained today in Stockholm… a lot.

  • Oslo on a rainy day

    Oslo on a rainy day

    Yesterday was one of those days when you wake up and think “what the h*** do we do today?” The answer, it turns out, was to go to Oslo and visit Oslo Plaza hotel to ride the glass elevator. Despite the pouring rain and cold wind, the wee man decided that an ice cream was…

  • Christmas lights through storm

    Christmas lights through storm

    For the first time since we moved here (3 years ago) we’ve got real Stavanger weather in Bærum. Rain on the windows, gale force winds = bowl of crisps and a glass of red wine. Oh, and a photo of the raindrops on the window as proof.

    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.

  • Frustration

    After days and days of beautiful weather, we revert to type for this part of Norway. Rain rain go away, come again another day – preferably a weekday when I don’t have time to take pictures. On the positive side, I actually got off my ass and bothered to find out how the A-Dep function…

  • The only way is up

    The only way is up

      On a rainy day in Oslo, the only way to look at the new opera house is to look up. (Well, not the only way, but it gives an interesting perspective).
