Not to mention access to evening classes. That was all wound back in the push to make classes bigger and reduce teaching costs. Not so easy to get a degree while working these days.

Welcome to Norway in winter!

This series is inspired by the snow. It embraces those days when the clouds lie low, and the wind pushes snow across the landscape.

This boat-shed was a favie of mine. A simple subject but rich in detail and mood. I have a lot of shots of this shed.

We're in Senja. The weather is a touch dramatic. Indeed we've had to bring out the snow chains to get the van up the laneway more than once. Temperatures are typically around -10°C at this time of year. January is pretty dark but things change quickly in February.

Those moments when the sun wrestles with the clouds are my favourite moments. That's when the magic happens.

Adding to my Blue Norway thread today, with some heavy snow. I love when you can see the weather happening in front of you, when you watch the sky changing. One moment there is clouds out in the fjord, and the next moment they turn dark.

Look closely and you can see a ferry about to be enveloped by the clouds :)

This fjord in Senja is an absolute favourite of mine. Have seen it in all kinds of weather, but there are moments when a gentle bit of sunlight pops out between the clouds and brushes against the slopes.

I don't use a telephoto often, but they are quite useful every now and then. This shot about 100mm, with a slow shutter.

We drove over a hill and saw the coastline, partly illuminated and totally covered in powder snow. The sun is wrestling with the low cloud, and largely losing. More snow is drifting down.

For the next hour the sun came out lit up the shore and the ice. But it's the moody moment when we first arrived that I love.
