    Den snøen på bildene dine gav av en eller annen grunn en "Syden"-fornemmelse. Kanskje det var de "palmene"? Hvilke trær er det? Uansett passet de veldig godt inn.

    Bravo!

    Again another beautiful set of photos, that palm definitely shows that the wind is blowing.

    Oh, my, all are wonderful, but that last one is sure dramatic! I haven't posted my sky watch yet...it will be up later this afternoon.

    Oh wow!I say to my son "This man KNOWS how to take photographs!" :)


    If you know how to link posts in the back links John, can you tell me how? I notice you link to mine (you are there when I click "links to this post" on my blog) but when I try to link to others, it only publishes a post on my blog.
    If you know how, I would be grateful if you could tell me! Thanks.

    I could live there. After all, you don't feel that cold wind through the pictures, so of course I could live there! It's beautiful, it has a sunshine opening and it even has palm trees. Yey, if I ever leave Africa, I must come here. Simple as that!

    I like all the different views of the lighthouse. I'm surprised by the palm tree in the snow, though!

    Bra. Selve fyrhuset er ikke av de flotteste synes jeg, men omgivelsene og stemningen været gir. Tøft :-)

    I never tire of this lighthouse, no matter how many angles you (and others) shoot it from. I'm still having trouble getting my head around palm trees in this climate, but they're obviously thriving so I guess they know what they're doing.

    Gorgeous as always!

    John! Tack för tips om bloggen! Har testat och det funkar, får de om jag lägger om ngn av sidorna sedan.
    Kan jag få ännu ett råd? Jag vill skaffa ett makroobjektiv. Vilket har man bäst nytta av: 60 eller 105?

    Herlige fyr-bilder igjen John. Men en ting lurer jeg fremdeles på, hva i alle dager gjør den palmen der? :o) Det ble prikken over i'en med skylaget som ligger helt nedtil vannet der ute. Happy Skywatch til dere :o)

    Hi John,
    These are as always magnificent images! I love the blowing fronds of the palm and the dramatic changing skies in the last.
    Always a treat for the eyes here.

    The wind is everywhere and it blows here on my screen too. Give the palm something to wear before it´s too late!

    Disse bildene dine fra Filtvedt er bare helt lekre!!
    Jeg må virkelig ta turen dit en vakker dag... eller kanskje heller en delvis skyet dag. ;)

    En ypperlig serie. Lika vackra som Lenes bilder om det är möjligt. De där palmerna ser nog dock litet malplaserade ut i det snöiga landskapet. Hur i världen klarar de sig?

    Beautiful series as always John. The first image is the best for me in this series. The best thing I like about your photography is the perspective.
