    Du har en evne til å fange Nord-Norge som bare er helt utrolig. Den stranden der er verd å vasse i...

    Blir alltid litt mygletryne når jeg besøker deg. Blir skikkelig misunnelig på de fine bildene dine.
    Disse feriebildene her var noe av det flotteste du har vist på bloggen din.

    these are all just breathtaking. the ocean images- the water is so still! and for the main sky images - it looks like someone painted white strokes against the bright blue sky! great, wonderful, magnificent, so many different adjectives i could use!

    How many wows today! People always ask why do photographers look at other photographers work. Here's why.
    Stunning work like this.
    I don't care how impressive the scenery is, good the camera is, computer wizzardry, it's still the human that takes the shots. Without the PHOTOGRAPHER no shots with soul are made.
