Some sky shots captured this week.
Immediatly before sunrice ( CET 04.00)
The King`s ship "Norge"
A little piece of the King`s farm at Bygdøy.
Oslo fjord
Heggholmen Lighthouse Station.
Heggholmen lighthouse stands at the end of an ashlar jetty by Heggholmen, innermost in the Oslo Fjord. The Swiss-style wooden lighthouse has one and a half stories. The station has a corner light with a 6th order lens and a tower for the fog bell on the roof, plus a nautophone. The lighthouse station includes the jetty, lighthouse building with side wing and pier. The lighthouse forms a part of the island and harbour environment of the inner Oslo Fjord. The lighthouse station lies in an area regulated as a special area for preservation.Heggholmen lighthouse station, with its richly decorated Swiss-style building, has a costly and refined character that distinguishes it from most other wooden lighthouses. Its location in the inner Oslo Fjord means that the lighthouse station is also of important environmental significance. Although the actual bell is missing, the bell-tower and parts of the mechanism to the fog bell are still intact and of interest in the context of lighthouse technology.

Wow, it was nice to visit Norway, thanks for sharing.. "Immediately before sunrice" looks like that mist'd be resting on top of the city. In some of the photos your sky is nicely curved :) (White peacocks, well I never!)
Du har virkelig slått på stortrommen i dag! Ble helt satt ut her jeg! Jeg må nok komme innom igjen og studere dem litt nærmere!
Well done!
Petunia's SWF
loved them all! the peacock looked like a giant ;)
So many photos - the peacock is tremendous and I love the reflections in the last one but my favourite is the one of Heggholmen - so great to see it in detail and close up after my misty view two years ago.
John: You made it tough today, any one of the photos would have made a great SWF but together (WOW).
Wow, wow, John, such a great collection - love the light house tho, - all brill photos and reflections are great too.

Great series of sky shots; but those reflection shots (especially the last one) are fantastic!
Excellent SWF post! Have a great weekend!
I can see the skies have been beautiful over Norway this week.
You have really done a job this week! I think I would prefer the lighthouse (maybe because it was very special and the information was interesting). However, I really enjoyed the reflections too!
Hi John
These really are a delight .. the reflections near the falls are beautiful
Thank you for joining in with use, welcome to the new blog... onwards and up wards.
Tom

Stilige bilder;)
Du har virkelig mange bra her!
Du jeg ble en smuuule misunnelig her nå...hihi
Hvor har du funnet den hvite påfuglen?
Jeg har sååå lyst til å fotografere en:)
Du har tatt mange fine bilder fra sjøveien i det siste også!
Det må jo være morsomt å komme til objektene på den måten!
Flott bilde du har lagt inn i headeren her!
Gøy med litt forandring, eller hur?!
Nå kommer visst finværet snart også sies det...etter denne gråværshelgen.
Vi får håpe det stemmer!
Ikke lett å ta fine bilder ute i gråvær..
Da må dere bare ha en nydelig helg og kose dere masse!
Hilsen from over here;)
* Du har jo blitt så internasjonal her nå, at stakkars Kræstine Nordmann nesten ikke henger med i svingene..hihi
Absolutely brilliant again. Where do I start? I love the reflections. I have never seen a white peacock before and even the grey skies you make interesting! Great stuff.
That is a feast for the eyes. These are wonderful photos, John. You make me want to hope the next flight to your part of the world.
No favourites, they're all too good.
Each week your shots astound me.The white peacock is so elegant and bird I've yet to see.
These are amazing. They are all beautiful, but I especially like the third one. It's nice to visit another part of the world via Sky Watch. Thanks for sharing your corner of it.
Magnificent collection. Love 'em all.
fine bilder har endlig fått ut mine også. prates senere i dag
WOW you have an EXCELLENT series of pictures here! I can't pick a favorite. I loved the history on the lighthouse.
These are all lovely. The peacock was a nice surprise among the landscapes. I like the way you capture the reflections.
Oh MY goodness! All your photos are absolutely incredible. I bow before your talent.
I always had a desire to see Norway but it seemed purely instinctual - just a feeling. I can see from your work that it was a good feeling.
I am never going to visit but I can use you as a surrogate.
Helt utrolig vakre bilder,likte spesielt godt de tre siste,nydelig.Og toppbildet ditt over Drammen er jo bare helt enormt.God helg!
Every photo is outstanding John! I loved all of them and Norway is gorgeous!
all are beautiful!
You always post such nice photos for SkyWatch. This week I really liked them all so much I couldn't pick a favourite! Have a wonderful weekend!
My SkyWatch Here

Such lovely shots for SWF - you live in a gorgeous place!
Lovely photography! I especially liked the first one with the clouds just above the buildings.
Fabulous... every one! I love the second ship... very bold. They are all shots to linger on. Excellent work!

Oh, I love those last three - the reflections in the water are beautiful!
Love the white bird and the relection in the water of the one following! Thanks for you comments on my past posts. My sky watch is up now.
Oh they are all gorgeous shots!!! You live in a very beautiful place!
These shots should be on a calendar. So beautiful.
are all beautiful images, the ship is my favorite.
Nice shots!
Stunning photo essay, John - the third shot was my favourite. You have a beautiful country.
The King's yacht looks a lot like the former British royal yacht, Britannia ....
"Louis's" favorite photo in this group is that of the Norge. It looks as if the King's yacht is about the same size as the Potomac used by Franklin Roosevelt.
Wow John, all your photos are worthy to be put in a book! I like each one. The white peacock is amazing...
All are quite beautiful - Haugfoss - Modum even more so!
Thanks for popping by! It's appreciated!
Bygdøy eller Ladeøen som vi sier, er helt fantastisk.Plasseringe av horisonten gjorde underverker.
Dessuten måtte jeg se lenge på det siste for å se at det ikke var rotert. Ringene i vannet ble ledetråden
beautiful photos! =O)
I went over to your other blog first and love the macro shots. I'm a big fan of macro. On both I love the sizing of your photos, really brings out the details and clarity much better. The fog that looks to be moving in on your sunrise picture is otherworldly. I really love all of them and enjoyed seeing your part of the world. Your header is breathtaking!
Gorgeous pics from gorgeous places! I like them all!
John, absolutely amazing shots as usual! They are absolutely spectacular! I love all the sky shots, but the peacock really caught my fancy. Your work is top notch!
I especially liked your photo of the silver birch tree beside the bridge and the river. - Dave
