  • Oslo panorama

    Oslo has some stunningly good weather sometimes. Beautiful blue skies during the middle of winter.

  • Sunset near Ingierstrand

    My lovely friend Ingvild invited me to Ingierstrand just outside of Oslo to hang out with her and her friends for the weekend. We had a terrific time and witnessed a spectacular sunset across the fiord just after dinner.

    Beautiful sunset near Ingierstrand just outside of Oslo, Norway.

  • Øyungen lake

    Photos of Øyungen lake during my recent cycling trip.

  • Øyungen

    I went on a cycling trip to Øyungen, a small lake near Oslo. Round trip was about 37 km, which considering my total lack of fitness and excessive flab, was no mean feat! Here’s some photos en-route to the lake, photos of the lake itself coming up soon 🙂

    I tried to take a short cut, unfortunately my shortcut became almost vertical so I had to turn back!

  • Waipara Hills

    I always told you could buy this stuff all over the world, but I assumed that meant that a few boutique wine stores dotted around the globe would stock the occasional bottle. But I walked into the local Vinmonopolet (Norwegian for “Wine Monopoly”) and smack bang in the middle of one of the shelves was a bottle of Waiapara Hills Pinot Gris. 150 NOK later and Anita and I opened it to celebrate … um, can’t remember what, but it tasted good 🙂

  • Tromsø at night

    Some long exposure (~5 s) photos of Tromsø city.
