Gulskogen Farm

Gulskogen Farm in my hometown, Drammen in Norway.

Monochrome old wreck...

An old wreck??? Noooooo... Not that old - and still a beauty, don`t you think??? 31??? Oh, no - not that young either, but thank you for the compliment! I`m 39! For a few more hours. Tomorrow is my fortieth birthday :)

...and not quite monochrome either... Still a small amounth of colours left - even on this old wreck ;)

The Wall

My new header is made from a picture of this wall in the old town of Fredrikstad. I am not quite satisfied with it, so I guess it will change a bit when I get the time to work with it.

"Vamos a la playa" in monochrome shadows

Where did the summer go? John and I spent an hot, sunshinny day on this beach at Öland in Sweden last summer.

Sky Watch Friday

This is "Tall Erik" at the Northern Point of the island Öland in Sweden. Some of you are asking what kind of filter I use on my pictures. I always edit them in Lightroom first, and then - if it feels right, I use Topaz Adjust - wich is a plugin-filter in Photoshop. I really have a lot to learn, but it is fun to experiment.

The untopaz-version of "Tall Erik". He is quite handsome anyway ;)
