Moose (my hubby) is teaching me how to use my camera. I am shooting straight north to Kvaløya, an island just off Tromsø, on my Nikon D50. For this shot I had to lay on my belly in the dirt. No Photoshopping – this pic is straight from the camera. So… what do you think?
I think Autumn is my favourite season in Norway – the weather is still warm here in Tromsø, the sunsets come down over the mountains again and the blueberries are ripe for the picking.

Many Norwegians know what they are doing when they pick wild mushrooms. This knowledge is passed down the family during mushroom hunting trips. The hard-core mushroom hunters go into the mountain wilderness for days to get the best finds.
The bunad is a traditional Norwegian costume worn by both men and women. It can either come from established rural traditions or have a more modern design inspired by historical patterns and cuts.
At full-moon the blue light almost looks electric. Our favourite jetty really knows how to surprise us for Christmas – especially with this ‘elfs-eye-view’.

A popular Summer activity in Norway is kayaking. The coast of Norway is dotted with thousands of little islands making the perfect conditions for a smooth paddle.
By our favourite jetty is the cutest little boat shed. We often have picnics there in Summer. It’s nice to just drop by our favourite places in Winter to see how very different but very beautiful everything still is.

Very nice! Reminds me of some shots I have been lucky to take in Alaska, in the summer early in the morning. What lens are you using? I also have a D50 and like it very much.
