Downtown Oslo, next to the Oslo Opera House, you will find a group of high-rise buildings called the Barcode Project. Hailed as a good example of modern architecture by many, by others viewed as an obstacle between the city and the fjord. I have to admit that I am not very enthusiastic about these buildings. They are nice from far away, but far away from nice.
Streaks of Summer Rain
This is an image from a few months back. Sunshine and showers had been alternating throughout the day, and when I got home that afternoon I happened to look out the window and decided to get the camera out. After experimenting a bit with the exposure I decided on a longer exposure which transformed the raindrops to streaks of light running across the frame.

Mirror Image
This image is from the Lofoten Islands, on the way to Henningsvær. The weather was clam, and the shallow water in a small bay next to the road created this nice reflection. And there was the little detail that lends the image a touch of dissonance.
In the Shadow of
This is another image from my trip to Lofoten. It is taken on the beach Skagsanden at Flakstad, and I thought these nice ripples in the sand and the water made a nice backdrop for the reflection of the peak, Flakstadtinden rising to about 500 meters above sea level, just south of the beach.

Aurora and Big Dipper
The aurora event I photographed from Flakstad, I posted an image from this event last week, did not last for long. I managed to get a couple of shots before it faded. And this is one of the images, with the Big Dipper (US), or Plough (UK), in the background.
Flakstad Aurora
And about a couple of hours after the sunset shot the aurora appeared through the thin cloud cover. It lasted for a short while before disappearing again, but I got a couple of nice shots.
