    I love reflections, but those from Akershus were really great. Maybe I should try to invert some to0?

    Flotte bilder. Virkelig fine. Og så store de er blitt på bloggen din. Har du også gått over til å først laste de opp på Flicker, eller har du en annen metode. Jeg skulle så gjerne hatt mine bilder litt større men synes det er litt tungvint å bruke Flicker.
