Prague Church
I do not remember which one, but, being in Prague, it was magnificent.
Dublin
Class trip to Dublin. Guinness, fresh as fresh can be, was sampled. My greasiest breakfast ever was gulped down the morning after the sampling. I am sure there was knowledge gained too. Perhaps even relevant to the course.
Web, drops, absent spider

Czech National Museum – Prague Museum of Natural History
Bibra Lake Tree, Perth
Spent a year close to this place down under.
Crumbling
From a more or less desolate house in a more or less desolate village in Spain.
A Man and His Bike
My girlfriend’s dad’s wife’s family has this great place on a small island outside of Kragerø, Telemark, Norway. There was some amusement when I announced that I would bring my bike. There was even more amusement when I rode it to the highest hill on the island. I am sure you will be amused to learn that this “hill” stands a mighty fifty-five metres tall above sea level.
But the mostest amusest was I, who got to sit in silence with my bestest metal friend, as seen on this photo right here.
Porsgrunn Internasjonale Teaterfestival
These people are hanging in the air to entertain the people of Porsgrunn during [pit.no](PIT – Porsgrunn International Theatre festival).
PIT is really something to look forward to, and I am sure 22-26 June this year are going to be just as full of photo opportunities as ever.
Kiasma – Museum of Contemporary Art
Posting an old photo from Finland: The Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Kiasma

Split City
Porsgrunn is in no way a remarkable town, but the geographical location makes for a few interesting phenomena. When the weather goes from cold to warm the river releases steam which stays around in the valley.
Cold and damp days are not particularly pleasant, but every once in a while the visual aesthetics make up for it.
Water Crystals Packed Loosely
Water flows, no matter what phase it is in. Sometimes this translates well over in to photography.
What We See
From our living room in the teeny, tiny village where our ambitions for a bachelors degree have taken us.
Bench in Stavern
We never got up to that bench.
Stavern Snow
There has been a fair bit of snow this winter. This is some of it.
Had a fairly crappy photowalk with Jostein a little while ago. None of us felt inspired at all and felt that we got nothing out of the trip except for cold feet and runny noses.
I do however force myself to look at and process pictures in Lightroom even if I feel they did not turn out well. After a couple hours I was quite please with my doctoring of initially mediocre photographs.
Have a Seat at Guinness
From the Guinness building. Took this on a class trip while perusing the history of the Guinness brewery through all of the visitor centre’s 7 floors. There is such a thing as too much Guinness!

Shoes how who why
I don’t know what this is.
Well: They are shoes.
Obviously.
What is not obvious is; what are they doing there, in that position?
Who put them there?
Why?
How?
And where can I buy a similar rack for my shoes?
Speechless Saviour
A Speechless Saviour: I know none of the details in his story except that he used to be a fisherman and once, many years ago, he saved five children from drowning.
Since then he has been silent.
Bryggefjell View
Climbing 450 height meters, sometimes on the back of your bike, sometimes the bike on your back, is worth it when this is the reward.
This view is from Bryggefjell, which lies in Bø, Telemark.
