Nine meter

Nine meter sail free height to the air cables, at the north end of lake North Bullaren and the beginning of Enningdal River. The river marks the border between Norway and Sweden for a few kilometres flowing north to Idefjorden. In Swedish the name is Enningdalsälven and Norwegian Enningdalselva.

Sail on, ha de Gött!

Forest river

Forest river

Today it was snow and the sun graced us with its presence today so I took a drive into the deep forests and found this beautiful spot. I’m not sure but, the tracks in the snow could have been wolf! Spent some thirty minutes in the spot and I’m sure I felt that someone was watching me.

Howl, ha de Gött!

Ramskär lighthouse

Ramskär lighthouse

The 16 meter high lighthouse was built in 1917 with great difficulty on the naked black cliff. Situated 10 kilometre west of Havstenssund and a part of Kosterhavet national park. The name Ramskär comes from the black rock. Ramn is ancient nordic for raven. Hence raven black skerry.

That’s something to be, a house of light. Ha de Gött!

Tadjik Markhor

Tadjik Markhor

The beautiful and special corkscrew shaped horns of the Tadjik Markhor (Capra falconeri) is the reason for its decline. The horns are popular among trophy hunters. I guess it’s the stupidity of mankind, the need to own what’s beautiful and unique.

This goat lives in mountain areas and is a fantastic climber. The females live in groups but the males are solitary and only meet to mate. Violent fight take place between the males and the winner then get to mate with several females.

Only shot worth taking, is with the camera, ha de Gött!

Stone bridge

Stone bridge

Sometimes you drive around trying to find a scenery for your photography. The kilometres just add up and you start to despair from the lack of objects. A rumbling sound in you stomach tells you it’s time to head home for dinner. Then, after a hill and a turn it appears. The old stone bridge, a little creek running underneath. Untouched snow all around. It’s like that Danish beer brand commercial. Worth waiting for.

Probably the best scene in the world, ha de Gött!
