Time to share another picture of Mira the Eurasian. This time in black and white. Usually I make the odd picture of her in colors. Don't really know if I've ever made one of her in black and white. About time I suppose. No special circumstances though. Just one of those everyday photos.

Last four pics from the photo skihike two weeks ago. Been to the mountains this weekend as well, not so fortunate with the light this time though. But that's just how it is, can't get lucky every time. Hope you enjoy these though 😊.

Second batch of photos from the skihike at Filefjell about a fortnight ago. I started about 1400 local time, knowing full well that it might get dark before coming back to the car. But all-the-better for the light. Mine was the only car left in the parking lot when I returner 😅.

This winter has been unusual in the sense that there has been consistent cold temperatures and less precipitation than normally. But some good photo opportunities. Have a good Wednesday 😊! PS. I will probably bother you with more photos from that hike 🙄.

Here in Bergen, Norway, January has been quite unusualT.emperatures normally lingers around 1,7 degrees, Jan - 26 they've been well below zero. Precipitation has been around 230-250 mm, we've hardly had any this year. So photo opportunities have been different as well. Here are three illustrations.

Some shots from a skihike at Filefjell, Norway last weekend. It was cold and calm, and clouds had been lingering during the morning and first part of the day, but in the afternoon they started to clear, leaving a haze. Which made for some nice photos I think. Enjoy your Wednesday 😊!

Sunrise at Filefjell, Norway last Saturday morning. Have a real good and not too cold Tuesday!

From a walk last weekend when I thought there wasn't much to photograph. But made some pictures anyway, and in a black and white version they came out not so bad

In the most recent issue of The Photowalk podcast, I believe Neale James described being able to approach strangers for a photo as a gift. To some of us that sounds like a dread. So much safer to photograph someone you know. In this case it's Sofie, my youngest daughter and companion on many hikes.

Part two of our small expedition during sunset hours at Filefjell (Norway). It was quite cold, around 20 below zero, but no wind. And the light just getting better. Don't think we could have asked for a better couple of hours spent.

First batch of photos starting the new year

Good morning from Bergen, Norway

Jan 3d, so it's just fitting to post another three photos (I know, not funny). These are also part of the early start of the photographic year. Made during a walk in the vicinity of where we live. Got a few more to postprocess, and hopefully many more to capture.

I think it's a good thing to start the photographic year on the first day. Might not be a strong start, but a start nevertheless. So when I did walk with Mira the Eurasian today, I of course brought my camera.

December has been, well, like December usually is here in Bergen, Norway - gray and dark. Yesterday provided a hope of a glimpse of light. So I headed to a couple of vantage points as the sun was about to set. And got lucky 😊.

Winter solstice, Bergen, Norway (yesterday) Short video of the hike up and down Mount Ulriken: youtu.be/xwWitAusfR8?...

The one three still standing

Thought I'd share this image. Nothing spectacular, not even particularly good, maybe a decent shot. Just a detail from one of the ponds in vicinity of where I live. But I liked the light and the composition. Probably leaves a lot to be desired, but here you go anyway 😊

Couldn't decide which version I preferred. So here's both. Skoersnoese is a mountain I've visited many times. Photo was made a couple of weeks back, and during these December days when days are literally dark all day, it brightens up the day a bit to have such photos and memories to look back at.

Sunset. The faint glow behind the old three as the sun sets provided an opportunity not to be missed. The culmination of an otherwise quite ordinary walk around the neighbourhood so to speak.

Foggy day. We don't get fog that often here in Bergen, Norway. We're more into the relentless rain. But every now and then conditions are favourable. Then you just might get lucky with the light as well.

Illustrating my December mood. Even if photos were made in November. So far December had been mostly gray and rainy. Frantiqually playing Christmas songs on the radio and eating Christmas cookies haven't done much for the mood. Think I need to go to the mountains for some snow and cold weather.

Autumn. Depending on where you reside in the world, it's autumn or some other season. In Western Norway we're leaving autumn behind and heading into winter now. So (maybe) one last photo from this autumn.

Tomorrow is the first Sunday of advent. So today is the first Saturday of advent... obviously... So why not share a couple of street photos displaying the advent mood in and around our local shopping mall Lagunen (the Lagoon). What a lagoon has to do with shopping I have no idea.

A small series I made during a recent photowalk in the vicinity of where live. They might give the impression of somewhere a bit remote and far from more urban areas, but in truth that's just down to composition and paying attention to the surroundings so as not to include manmade objects.

Monday morning here in Bergen, Norwayland. Why not start the day with a photo of a bracket fungus. Nothing special really, just something that caught my eye whilst out wandering in our local woods. Thought it worth a photo. Have a good Monday everyone 🙂.

A collection of waterfall photos I made during a combined photowalk and dog walk in our local Kanadaskogen - "the Canadian Forrest" - a week ago. Name so I believe by some boys many many years ago, playing in said forrest and pregending to be in - yes, you're correct, in Canada.

Autumn. Just couldn't pass these leafs by. The one green, the other orangy-brown, expressing the progression of autumn in nature.
