Snow-gulls
The ducks haven’t arrived at Prestvannet yet but our crusty bread didn’t go to waste. Black, white and blue. There is beauty in chaos.

Nisse Parties
Nisse parties happen in many kindergartens, primary schools, church and community groups in Norway. They are a casual celebration of the julenisse (Christmas elf) tradition especially for children (but the big kids love them too).
Muskox in the City
Even though the males are called bulls and the females cows, the muskoxen are more closely related to sheep than cattle. Make no mistake, though – this is not your average cuddly ba-ba-blacksheep! A grown animal can be 2,5 m long and weigh up to 400 kgs, and their long curved horns mean business.
Experience Nidaros Cathedral
From the west, a wall of stone Saints and Prophets will confront you. All sides of the Cathedral are very textured and deserve a long walk around. You’ll see gargoyles and gothic arches, thick wooden doors with rusty floral art and Anglo-Norman/Romanesque bits and pieces ‘stuck on’ that intensifies your ground view. However, the outside of Nidaros Cathedral is even more intriguing when you know the history.

The Bunad with molded wool, embroidered cuffs and silver stitching is still not complete without its silverwork.
Finnbiff or Reindeer Stew
Reindeer is synonymous with Sami culture and life but the Norsemen have certainly cottoned onto the goodness of reindeer cuisine. This rustic meal is perfect for cold Winter nights and packs you with energy for the next day of playing in the snow.
Tonight’s sky was filled with the Northern Lights.

Gratulerer med dagen!
“Finding Nemo” has left an eternal sound clip that comes to mind when I see these types of birds: “Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!”
Beautiful photos!
Gratulere med dagen.
Beautiful shots!
Really nice shots of a tough subject! White and black are most difficult subjects for getting proper exposure…good job! You must have a nice lens as well, most bird shots turn out to be little specs because you don’t have enough telephoto to bring them in close. I can’t wait to see more with the white gulls against the blue water.
