SkyWatch Friday

My summer vacation is soon over and I have had 4 wonderful weeks. Great weather all the time.

This shot is from last week. Captured at 10:51 PM on 4th of July. At my place we don´t see the midnight sun but it never gets dark anyway. For me it is something special to sit up all night with family and friends, enjoying summer and spending time with each other.

Cervus elaphus

I went a short trip to Klampenborg Dyrehave in Denmark. This is a huge area, so if you want to visit I recommend to go by bicycle in the park. These deers can be shy so my 200 mm lens was not enough(except in the last shot). I would love to go there with a 500 or 600 mm and spend some more time. Maybe I will do that when Autumn arrives and hopefully capture a great buck.

Anyhow, this was a wonderful experience for me.

Heron

These three shots are captured in Fredriksberg Have in Copenhagen. If you are norwegian and are used to seagulls (sorry Rune E ) and crows, you should really take some time in Frediksberg Have when visiting Copenhagen. I have never seen this amount of birds in one place in a city before.

Next up on my vacation is Klampenborg, just north of Copenhagen. I can't wait.

Summer vacation

In case you wonder why I have not been posting lately, I am on a summer vacation. After a long winter and working a lot I have 4 weeks off. Well, 1 down and three to go. I am in Denmark, 50 minutes north of Copenhagen in a small place called Kulhuse. Relaxing and enjoying life.

I am not staying in this cosy house, but I would love too. The second shot is from Jægerspris Palace. One of many palaces in Denmark.

And by the way, this is my post nr 200 :-)

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

It is great to see that summer has arrived here in Trondheim. This is shot down by the fjord last week end.

Some shots from Madrid

After returning from Madrid, there has been very busy days at work. No time for blogging. So thank you all for still visiting me, thank you for all greetings and comments. I will try to catch up with your blogs soon ;-)

These two first pictures are from Real Jardin Botanico. A great botanic garden, a must-see when you are in Madrid.

I also tried to shot night shots, but without my tripod it is difficult to get clear pictures due to long exposure time. The first building is the Palacio de Communicaciones/City Hall. Build between 1905 and 1917 as the headquarters of the post office.

The second one is the Metropolis Building.

This is the Monumento Alfonso XII. You can find this monument in Parque de El Retiro/ The Retiro Park.

These birds are walking around in Jardines Del Campo Del Moro, or in the backyard of the Royal Palace. You should really visit this garden.

This last shot is the Puerta Del Alcala, Alcalas Gate. It is a monument in the Plaza de la Independencia/Independence Square.

Back from Madrid

We had 5 great days in Madrid. It is a wonderful city with an exciting history. And my camera did not lay down for long during this stay. Well actually, for a couple of hours on Friday 8 of May it did.

That day I got married to Marit. It took place at the Norwegian Embassy. No big party, only the two of us. Just the way we wanted it to be. Perfect!

These two photos are not of our new home, but the Royal Palace in Madrid.

Crow vs heron

I sat watching these two. The crow yelling and yelling at the Heron. "Finally" the crow attacked. I was about 100 meters away sitting in my car and they sat on a rock out in the fjord, arguing.

This is a scheduled post:

I shot this photo on 29 of April. Going by a ferry. Temperature around 17 degrees C. You can see there are still some ... and in many places a lot of snow in the mountains.

Have a warm and sunny weekend everybody.

Relaxing

There has been busy days at work lately, and there is more to come. But soon I will do as this cute fellow, just relax. At 6 of May I will be off to Madrid for a few days. Drinking spanish red wine and enjoying life. Of course I´ll have my camera with me. Until I am back I will post some scheduled photos shot the last days.

Thank you all for visiting my blog and for all comments. I wish you all the best.
