A few photos from Southern Norway and Southern France for christmas.

From Norway

From France, view to the Pyrenèes,

 and Limoux. Always a grand round-about

 

Flagg i bjerkeløv

Et litt spesielt foto hvor resultatet er en illusjon.

Bildet er tatt ut gjennom vinduet, men flagget er egentlig ikke der.

Who wrote on the sky?

In the morning of my sixtiest birthday I did as I usually did. I went up with the dawn of day and photographed the skyline outside my window. It could be a few photos each day which I usually picked out one or two, but this day, 30th of April 2009 I kept most of them when I saw what I had.
Then a guy called Espen Ottosen launched his new book: " Why don't God write on the sky?".
When I saw that title, I thought: "Maybe it's God who sent me a greething, or maybe not. Maybe it's one of my loved ones who sent me the message.
The series of photos show that it is no photoshopping done.

It started like this to the east.

 A rather dramatic sky

 A strange formation is appearing

 and moving slowly from east to west

 and it started to turn around

 the cloud turned 180 dgrs and an other formation drop in place.

Here you can seehe exclamation mark with a heart formed dot to the left and a question mark to the right of the little hilltop. Like someone wrote. Up until now life has been great ! , but what will the future be ?  If you go back to the first picture, you can see it more detailed.

Påske i Sørlandsbyen

Det er påskestemning en tidlig morgenstund i Sørlandsbyen.

Lillesands Øvregate er en pittoresk, stille gate i en helt typisk sørlandsstil med små hvite hus og kunstneriske innslag. Her råder ikke det stressende hverdagslivet.

Aslans daily amusement.

Every day Aslan the lion has his amusement of scaring the wits out of the visitors of the park.
He is waiting patiently for the camera or the mobil to be in position and ready for the photo, and the he roaaar.

Edderkoppaper og Flamingoer

er endelig ute å kjenner på været også, men det ser ut for at ikke alle har humøret på plass.

Watch out

Polarrev

 16. mars var polarreven fremdeles alene i Dyreparken, men

 søndagen etter hadde han fått selskap igjen. Lurer på om det er en hunn som kom.

 Forrige søndag krøyp også det siste av snøen vekk. Det var ikke en polarrev, det bare så slik ut.

Beveren har kommet til Dyreparkekn

Om beveren var invitert det vet jeg ikke, men her er klare bevis på at den trives i sitt nye hjem i Dyreparken.

Ringhalelemurene

Lemurene ble sett ute på søndag i vårsola visst nok for første gang i år.

For en fin hånd de har.
