Sun and Fog




Sun Through Fog Lense





Sunday was a sunny day here in Haakenrud on the Norwegian countryside. But suddenly, close to sunset, the fog came in and created a creepy landscape for a few minutes. A very rare moment I managed to capture some impressions of by running desperately outside with my camera.

Countryside excitement! :-)

Car Faces




Prepared for Predators







In a recent study scientists explains our ability to see faces on cars as a side effect of human ability to recognize predators. If we don't we'll be eaten. :-)

Why the Beetle? Because I love'em and my first car was a Beetle - and I had many more later on...
