Full moon

noreply@blogger.com (Ivar Østtun) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:01:00 +0000

Last Sunday was a beautiful and sunny day. The evening was a great sight as well. Luckily there were no clouds so I could see the full moon rise over my home town. A bit cold but for me it was worth it.

Narrow street

noreply@blogger.com (Ivar Østtun) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:05:00 +0000

This is one of many narrow streets in Trondheim. I find it relaxing and nice to walk these streets among beautiful wooden houses. I can just try to imagine how it was here for a hundred years ago.

Cocky bird

noreply@blogger.com (Ivar Østtun) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:11:00 +0000

I had a short trip out today trying to capture some birds and when I came home and downloaded my photos, total amount of 6 , I didn´t think twice when I saw this. I had my title ready. This is a cocky bird telling me what it thinks about a photographer disturbing a good meal.

Brutus Östling is a swedish world class bird photographer. I have been so lucky to be at one of his presentations about his work. A great storyteller and a superb photographer.

The reason why I titled this Cocky bird is because of the inspiration from one of Brutus´s books Kaxiga fåglar. Directly translated from swedish to english(using google translate) this means Cocky birds. The book is about personality and relations in the world of birds.

Feel free to visit his blogg and homepage and make up your own mind.

A foretaste of a warmer season

noreply@blogger.com (Ivar Østtun) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 14:48:00 +0000

Today the sun appeared and heated the mercury to astonishing +12˚C and snow and ice melted, just like in the spring. I know there will still be winter but moments like this is worth enjoying.

Saltstraumen

noreply@blogger.com (Ivar Østtun) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:12:00 +0000

Here I am standing at Saltstraumen just outside the city of Bodø. I am told that this is the worlds strongest tidal current with up to 400 million m³ of seawater forcing its way through a 3 km long strait every 6th hour. Vortices up to 10 m in diameter and 5 m in depth can be formed, whirlpool.

Saltstraumen is a popular place for fishing, due to abundance of saithe/pollock, cod, wolffish and halibut. Coalfish is the speciality for this area, the largest documented caught on a fishing rod is 22,7 kg.

This bridge is 768 meters long, the longest span is 160 meters and the maximum clearance to the tidal current is 41 meters.

If you take a close look you will see a "spot" in the sky above the bridge. That is not a dead insect on my lens, but a Sea King mk 43 Helicopter.

Grey Heron

noreply@blogger.com (Ivar Østtun) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:16:00 +0000

This is the only breeding species of the heron family located in Norway. I have never seen them around here during winter so for me it is quite cool to see one with icy feathers. I´ll guess the heron don´t think it is very pleasant to stay in Norway nowadays, with such low temperature . Neither do we humans.
