More macro shot

Often I shoot pictures of landscape, but sometimes I force myself to look down as well.

Do you find this solid rock interesting? Well, neither do I, but take a look at these macro pictures I captured yesterday:

( This is called Thallus, from Latinized Greek θαλλος (thallos), meaning a green shoot or twig, is an undifferentiated vegetative tissue of some non-mobile organisms, which were previously known as the thallophytes.)

Fokklav/Ophioparma ventosa

I couldn’t find any name for this one.

Kvitrull/Cladonia stellaris

I couldn’t find any name for this one.

Map lichen/Kartlav/Rhizocarpon geographicum

PS: sorry for the low quality. These are shot with my Ixus75 :-(

Diamonds and pearls

Late September and still blooming, Phlox

Hiking in Bymarka

Bymarka is a popular recreation area just on the doorstep to Trondheim. You can go hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, crosscountry skiing (wintertime), relaxing and just enjoying life.

This first shot is a 5 pic panorama. About 180 degrees. You can see the small mountain Gråkallen, lake Vintervatnet in the middle, and to the right lake Skjeldbreia.

 

Psst: If you see some kind of road in this last picture, I can tell that this is just a small track. In Norway we are not allowed to drive offroad. My car is parked several hundred meters away from the small lake you see. Lake Vintervatnet. Up to the right (out of the pic) is the mountain of Gråkallen.  I am looking east, standing a 20 minutes walk and 5 minutes drive away from the center of Trondheim. Isn't it wonderful ;-)

Hollyhock/ Sommerstokkrose

I love this beautiful flower. A favourite :-)
