Cold winter days

I've had some busy days lately, and I know that those to come will be too.

But I feel lucky anyway, because I can do both business and pleasure. Going by snowmobile is not a walk in a park, it is harder than it looks like, but it is funny after all.

Yesterday was the coldest so far, -17.5 C outside and +21C inside my car.

These last pics are captured with my cellphone cam yesterday, hence the lower quality.

I am sorry for not visiting you so often, but I will try to find some time the next days.

  1. Lots of people tell me it isn't so bad to go from salt to a no salt diet but it isn't good yet and fried potatoes just don't taste right without salt and pepper.

    I am working on liking what I eat. I gave up my coffee and now drink one or two of decaf.

    I just can't get around like I did. I came and saw all your beautiful photos and am impressed by your Nature.

  2. Vakker foss du:-)) Og syns komposisjonen/beskjæringen din var flott. Som regel tar en med for mye rundt hovedmotivet. Jeg er hard med å beskjære jeg da.

    Og nå venter jeg virkelig på rådyrbilder ,-)Du har sikkert sett fotoene til Hellesø? Ikke alltid at hovedpersonen trenger å være i fokus.

    Og for å gjenta meg selv for ørtne gang, vinterbilder er flott:-))Og så får en jo lyst til å dra langt til fjells!

  3. En nydelig samling - utrolig bra! spesielt imponert over den fossen. Det er min drøm å få til noe slikt.

  4. It occurs to me that if you live in Norway, you had better learn to photograph snow. I’m stunned by how wonderful your images are. I would not have had the courage to try the snowmobile shot, but you seem to have mastered the tough lighting. Again, this is a fun place to visit because it is unlike where I photograph and I enjoy seeing what others do.

  10. Unbelievable stunning photos! Just like Steve B I'm impressed of the lighting in the snow mobile photo. You're a real professional!
    And I've said it before, but I have to say it again - you live in a very beautiful corner of the world.

  15. Utrolig flotte bilder. Du er visst en vinter mann du...mulig du er selve nissen i forkledning...hihihi for i følge din kone er du jo snill også...

    Jeg syns fossen var utrolig flott, jeg har en forkjærlighet til lang åpningstid og rennende vann. Men syns det er fryktelig vanskelig å få tatt et bra bilde. For er det for lyst blir hele bildet hvitt og er det for mørkt ja så er jeg som oftest ikke i nærheten av en foss.;-)

    Ha en strålende Søndag og hils din koselige frue.

  16. Ivar,
    Your pics show how cold it is where you are, but they still have warmth in them. I'v wanted to visit Norway and your pictures have only increased that goal. Great job and I hope you find time to post more of your wonderful photos.
    Take Care!

  20. Siden det fortsatt er Cold Winter her, måtte jeg bare legge til at både Bar Frost og Cold Winter er minner fra Brigaden i NordNorge sent på 60 tallet.

  27. I am in awe of your work. You have such incredible scenery to work with, but it has to be challenging with all of the white. I'm such an amateur who is still learning about light and speed, and to see your work just inspires me. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

  46. These pictures are surreal for me living in the Equator...very nice and you have a very artistic eye. I don't think I will have opportunity to see those pictures in real, so this really helps me to see other side of the world. Thank you.
