Reflection with Water Lily Leaves
At Sognefjellet
This is from Sognfjellet along route 55. The weather was changing, but the sun broke through the cloud cover and we had a few minutes to get a couple of shots before the peaks in the distance disappeared into the clouds again.
Lom Stave Church
Visiting a "tourist" location and finding a shot that you haven't seen in a thousand variations already is a challenge. I tried some closeups of various details around the building, a couple of wide angle shots, but looking at the images now I think this is the one that stood out.

By Accident
Without the ripples on the surface of the water focusing the sunlight into the lines running across the frame this image would have been less interesting. It happened by chance as I stepped into the water at the edge of the puddle looking through the viewfinder of my camera. Without that I probably would not have bothered to take the shot at all.

Patterns in the Snow
The patterns which had formed on this wall of snow, eroded by the wind and thawed by the warm air, reminds me of the installation "The Other Wall" by the danish-icelandic artist Ólafur Éliasson in the foyer of the Oslo Opera House. I have posted a few images of the installation earlier. They should be tagged "Oslo Opera House"
Outside the Fence
Hot
It has been quite hot here over the past couple of weeks, and I have to admit that I long for some rain and cooler weather now. But it seems to be so hot that showers and thunderstorms dissipate as soon as they start to move in over the town, and the forecast indicates that we will have to wait a few more days before this heat wave ends.
