When I'd taken auroral images in the Antarctic long ago, I used a tripod (I had only very slow film). This time I had high ISO and a tripod, but shooting from the deck of a moving ship meant I should have used an even faster shutter. Well, it adds an interesting effect! :-) More images in PiPs, taken at various times on the trip. Explored. Family health issues will limit my involvement on ipernity, so my apologies if I do not respond to your comments or visit your images - I shall try to do so as far as possible.

It's been a while since I posted a street shot, but this Troll seen in Bodo was too hard to resist. Maybe you'd care to listen to this listen to this while having a HFF. Best wishes for the weekend too, everyone. Explored.

The 'Peace Cathedral' in Bodo was built in 1956 to replace a church destroyed (with most of Bodo) during WW2. While it may look unexciting in concrete (see PiP 1), the interior is quite attractive (Pip 2). My visit was enhanced by a lovely organ recital (sorry, I didn't get a shot of the organ). I also was intrigued by the large woven rugs on the walls (PiP 2). Explored.

Taken a little after sunrise and before my previous image, as the Hurtigruten ship "MV Nordkapp" passed by. Sorry, I can't ID the other red ship, but this is best viewed large.

Another image of cooler weather, for those needing a break from summer - best viewed large. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

I guess this will resonate with my European friends currently in a heatwave. An early morning view as our ship crossed the Arctic Circle on its way northward. The sphere on the island is the latitude marker. Explored. Circumstances unrelated to photography will limit my involvement on ipernity for some time. On that basis, my apologies if I do not respond to your comments or visit your images - I shall try to do so as far as possible.

I had time to walk around Trondheim and admired the Nidaros Cathedral (stitched image). See also PiP. As noted with my previous image posting, circumstances unrelated to photography are likely to limit my involvement on ipernity for some time. On that basis, my apologies if I do not respond to your comments or visit your images - I shall try to do so as far as possible. Explored.

The Kjeungskjaer lighthouse, warning mariners of hidden rocks, and watched by a group of keep photographers from the deck of the "MS Trollfjord" , the Hurtigruten ship on which we were travelling. All I can say is HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. Explored. At this point I feel I should also note that unforeseen circumstances are likely to limit my involvement on ipernity for some time. On that basis, my apologies if I do not respond to your comments or visit your images - I shall try to do so as far as possible.

Norway has (and needs) many lighthouses along its coast. This is the Kjeungskjaer lighthouse, not too far from Trondheim. It now is automated, but I find myself trying to imagine the lifestyle of the former lightkeepers and their families, who were confined in places such as this for extended periods.
