    Sunshine and shadows

    I went for a hike in the mountains this morning with a friend from work. The sun was just starting to shine and the weather was very beautiful. I have posted a lot of pictures from this place and I probably will keep on doing that every once in a while…

    Sunshine, at last.

    Today the sun finally showed it self here in Isafjordur after many weeks of waiting. I quit work early and went out to see the sun and take some pictures. Here is the first one. It was a beautiful day, but still very cold :o)

    View from the mountainside

    I took a walk in the mountainside above Isafjordur few weeks ago and took this picture. It was very chilly but I always like the view of my hometown when it is getting dark :o)

    Sand, sea and snow....

    but still no sun :o) I visited this place yesterday for the first time in over 30 years and yet it is not more than 15 minutes drive away from my home. It was raining but I will surely go there again in the summer when the sun will be shining and I can…

    Brighter times ahead

    After a long and dark winter the sun is finally starting to show again. I didn't see it but it lit the town up for a while when the thick clouds drifted away. I took this picture from my home a few days ago.

    Sing us a song...

    Tonight was kind of a Halloween here in Isafjordur, the kids knock at your door, sing a song and get some candy instead. Those two handsome "ladies" sang some lyrics they wrote themselves and got their rewards :o)

    The sky is watching

    The last picture from that night. All the Northern Lights were gone but I took one more, just checking for how long I could keep the finger on the shutter. I lasted 122 seconds, it was really cold, more than -10 degrees ;o)

  • My first try...

    My first try...

    ... to capture the Northern Lights with my new camera. As soon as I got out it started to get cloudy, but I got this tiny line in one of my pictures. I also need a remote trigger so I can take longer exposures. I'll keep on trying and won't quit until…

    Fresh start...

    and old ships. Just went out to try my new camera and I think it is great, so this is my first picture from it ;o) Few years ago, everything revolved about the fishing industry here, but now some of the ships are just gathering rust at the harbor :(
