Mountain Cabin in Norway


This beautiful little cabin is in the mountains above Skien, Norway.  I love the colors and how the green doors and shutters match the grass and leaves perfectly.  My daughter, Kerry, uses this photo as a Christmas decoration because of the red and green.

A shot of the inside of the Hercules Shopping Mall in Skien, Norway. I just like the lines.

Bergen Panorama

This "panorama" photograph is actually 4 digital photos (handheld, of course) that have been stitched together on my computer. It is at the top of a train that goes to this beautiful overlook in Bergen, Norway. I had only five minutes to experience the view because I had to catch the next train down. I looked, but spent most of my time taking pictures so that I could preserve this incredible memory. The photo is so small here--you have to click on it to enlarge it and get some idea of what it looks like.

Green Field


Driving in Norway yields many opportunities to photograph beautiful green fields. This was taken near the town of Asker, only a mile or two from the main highway leading into Oslo. The clouds and the late evening sunlight make the colors look even more beautiful.

Another beautiful example of color on some old buildings in Bergen, Norway.

Shadow

A few months ago I posted a similar photo of a plane's shadow taken in Orlando, Florida. This one is more interesting in my opinion because of the framing of the airplane window, the deep green colors of the trees, and the late afternoon lighting. This is in Sandefjord, Norway.

Aalesund, Norway


This was taken from a little restaurant overlooking the coastal city of Aalesund, Norway. I don't really need to say more. It was a breathtaking view. The open-faced shrimp sandwich and fresh seafood soup wasn't bad either!

Ship in Bergen Sunset


While walking back to my hotel in Bergen, Norway at 10:15 PM, I saw this incredible light behind a ship at the other end of the harbor. I zoomed in, cropped close, and just recorded the beautiful image that I saw. Here it is!

Seagull at Jomfruland

I was sitting on the beach on this tiny island in Norway called "Jomfruland" when this seagull began flying around above me. I watched him for a minute or two, and then tried to catch a photo of him while in flight. I love this one because of the blurred background and the full wing extention.

Alley in Norway


A little alley in Trondheim, Norway. What makes this shot more interesting is the fact that it was taken at 11:30 PM. Norway is the land of the "midnight sun."

Buildings in Trondheim

While walking down a street in downtown Trondheim, Norway I noticed these colorful buildings build on pylons over the water. I thought the shapes and colors made for an interesting photograph.

Tunnel near Oslo, Norway


This was shot through the windshield of the car I was riding in--no I wasn't driving. Hand-held, slow shutter speed=blurred image=motion effect.

Tulips in Skien, Norway


These tulips in the town square provided a gorgeous foreground. The trees, blue sky and white coulds were perfect for this shot.

Green Plants in a Forest


I got down on my stomach to get some blurry foreground in this shot. It was taken in this beautiful forest in southern Norway. The light was peeking through almost like a spotlight on these little plants.

Tall Trees


The beauty of this grove of trees in southern Norway was breathtaking. I love the green ground cover and the sunlight peeking through the limbs.

Yellow Flower Among Violets


I loved this lone yellow flower in the entire meadow of violets. I shot this lying on my stomach.

Yellow Field


This idyllic setting in southern Norway was caught from a moving car out the window as we passed by on the freeway!

Cemetery in Skien


I love taking pictures in cemeteries. This one is in Skien, Norway.

Abandoned Truck


I was just looking for some nature photos off the main road in southern Norway, when I happened upon this broken-down truck. It was obvious it had been there for a long time by the amount of moss that was covering the windshield.

Policeman in Skien


The 17th of May in Norway is a huge holiday akin to the 4th of July in the USA. I took this shot of these two policemen just after the parade in a little town in southern Norway.
