Norwegians are born with skis on their feet. Or so the legend has it. Some Norwegians, like myself are definitely not born with skis on. I’m simply no good at it, so going cross-country has sadly never given me much joy as I’m breaking a sweat when others glide effortlessly past me in the trails.

But I enjoy the scenery as much as the next guy, often taking my camera with me. I just have to stay clear of the most eager skiers.

I had just driven my wife to work and had a son not feeling too good in the backseat, so I decided to take another route home. Whenever there is fog in my area, I know this lake has a nice mist. And fortunately I was right. I took two quick shots ten metres from the car and drove back home.

Easter is a time I often spend with my wife and her family. They own a charming little cabinet in a place called Ørfiske, just outside of Oslo. I have taken many pictures there (like Tranquillity), and here is one I took yesterday, trying to capture some of the mood by the lake on late night. Some ice flakes are still melting, drifting slowly by.

This image is a part of the X/52 project, where one image is produced every week based on a new theme. The theme for this week is “Egg”. Other great images can be found here:

Taken from the doorstep of the place we stayed in at our honeymoon in Phuket. I’ve been to Thailand a couple of times now, and I’m positive I’ll return again. But there are so many other places to visit as well. Travel and photography is a great combination, don’t you think?

On December 26, 2004, I was up early looking at the news on my computer. Like so many others I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Casualties to many too count, at least not grasp, left me sitting silent for a long time.

A few years later I was on my first visit to Phuket, Thailand, where I could see the effect the tsunami had for myself. This boat was washed up from the shore, left almost a hundred metres from the beach with trees surrounding it. The boat has not been removed, as it proves a remember of the forces of nature.
