Mountain Glow

The evening sunlight illuminates the mountain peaks at sunset in Gullesfjord, Norway.

It's Spring!

We had the first fully sunny day in months on Monday, and I took my camera with me. I had a little bit of time to walk around and enjoy the weather. This little robin sat next to me in a hedge, and was SO happy about the weather! He couldn't stop singing his lungs out about it.

Sunset

Sunset in Hamm. This picture looked almost like this out of camera. I only did some very minor developing (just adjusted the light values slightly) in lightroom. I'm happy with my new Canon 60D!

Ice Bridge

This is an ice bridge melting in the summer sun. Vatnajökull, Iceland. I'm not sure how much longer this was around after we left. My guess is, it was gone in a few hours. This is an HDR assembled in Photoshop HDR Pro.

2000 Views!

Thanks to all who check out my blog and enjoy the pitures! I've just surpassed 2000 Views total, and the past 2 months have each had over 550 views per month. It motivates me even more to keep things coming and post more new pictures for you all to enjoy. Here's a picture from somewhere on the south coast of iceland. There's lots more down the road.

Shadows of ancient lava

The moss-covered lava flow of berserkjahraun, located on snaefellsnes peninsula, iceland. This lava flow is 3600-4000 years old, and has connections to the saga. It's quite amazing how raw and rough a lava flow is after such a long time. I guess, geologically, its the blink of an eye.

Summer Sun

Breaking Sun

While walking around Bautzen, Germany recently, I discovered this interesting scaffolding, obviously set up to keep these 2 buildings standing. The sun was streaming through the clouds and illuminating the space directly between the buildings. I had to stop and capture it. It took me about 5 minutes and 40 pictures to find the right angle and settings, but I finally got my shot. It was worth the effort.

Severe clouds

The weather we've been having in Germany this summer has been very wet. It really seems like its been spring since march. I saw these clouds on my way out the door during a sunny break today, and had to take some shots with my new wide angle lens. Here are 2 pictures. Enjoy, and try to stay dry!
