Skywatch Friday

swftom


A sunny day at the top of the mountain Bringen in 2006. The tower at the left is for antennas and radiolinks in a cellphone network. Ever wondered why your mom didn't call or your friend didn't send a sms????

This last picture I shot today. This is how the weather was like in Trondheim. I shot this panorama from the opposite side of the fjord. Close your eyes and imagine that you see Trondheim city just a little bit to the left of center ;-)

A bit dark, but that's how it was to day. :-(

Trondheimsfjord Panorama

Have a nice SWF :-)

    This has got to be the coldest looking photographs I have seen all day. Wow. I would guess the postman didn't make it yesterday.

    Nice photography. Really nice.

    The snow combined with those icy blue skies makes for amazing photos! The panorama really gives an indication of how widespread the cloud cover was. All are wonderful photos!

    Thanks for stopping in and seeing mine earlier!

    Gorgeous! And cold! But - you have more blue sky than Florida (at least at the moment! ;) )
    Excellent!

    Spectacular photos of a spectacular place. I like all the busy-ness of the antenna close-up and the brightness of the snow. Like the "E" shots below - nicely photographed elephant (glass is hard to capture well) & glad you posted the eclipse.

    Hallo Ivar,
    natur is a very good designer. Beautiful snowskulpturs and clear darkblue sky. I would like to see it in a mystic atmosphere with foggy weather.
    ha en fin helg

    I like the series a lot. It's good to remind us that winter is approaching again and to bring back memories of what winter is like. I could almost physically feel the cold when looking at the pictures.

    Hi,
    this is the second time i visited your blog and I just have to say this, You have a real EYE for details.
    The photographs are simply OUT OF THIS WORLD, despite being shot here.
    Really nice...
