West coast II

Pseudo-volcano.

Perfect folds.

Mooooooo!

I have a cow.

Lovely West coast

Fur

It's getting somewhat colder again and I am as shocked as every year to see so many women with fur coats here in Norway.
Maybe it's just my perception but I think somebody else mentioned it as well.
I never saw that many fur coats in Germany - maybe it's partly because I was not really living in a 'fashionable' neighbourhood?
I'm sure that the few regular readers of this blog wouldn't wear fur so don't watch the video - it almost makes you vomit. For everybody who thinks that it's ok to have a fur coat - go watch it and tell me afterwards that you have a good conscience!
Just one last comment - there are no limits to human cruelty.
And I better don't embed it here ... here's the link:

Stuck Between

Riverside just write the perfect music for waiting at the underground station. At least I find them very relaxing:

I'm stuck between myself and me
Pretty sure at this time
The more I see the less I feel
But I don't want it to stop

Read my fortune
Now I can
Know you forever will be there
I'm arising
I will stay for you
And I know I will CARE

Please tell me why I still recall
Know it has to be good
It wouldn't be so hard if I
Were not so frightened for you

Read my fortune
Now I can
Know you forever will be there
I'm arising
I will stay for you
And I know I will CARE

West coast - Otterøya

A good photographer never rests until he found the right spot to take a picture while at the same time being almost invisible - or: look for the crazy Russian.







This is a garnet. Well actually a Majorite which is a very special garnet only found at ultra high pressures in the earth's mantle.

Beauty

I'm pretty sure that I wanted to take a picture of something else ... daft bugger ;)

Moments and Murphy

Almost everybody knows these moments ... once you carry the camera with you for the whole trip and there is not even a nice landscape worth a picture. The next time you don't have it with you and there is the opportunity to get a nice shot.
Three years ago, I bought a digital single lens reflex camera and while I really enjoyed having it, it's just too valuable to take it with me all the time.
Sometimes though I wish, I had a cheap digital camera with me - like that one time around the end of October when I saw a small hedgehog in the middle of Oslo when walking home from work (at 3 am *cough*). It didn't even bother to coil up when I was standing right next to it.
Anyway, since my mobile is starting to die (I can charge it for hours and it still claims that it needs to be recharged) and buying a new battery is not really worth the investment and most people complain that they cannot reach me, I am debating now if I should get myself a mobile with a camera...
But I hate mobiles .... d'oh!

Somewhere between Trondheim and Oppdal (roughly)

Still working on 2008 ... lol.




This could have been a perfect picture if it wouldn't be for that modern boat.






Perfect fold! Even with scale.

Two minds

You walked away and destroyed the basic trust of a child. You never hurt me physically but the psychological damage follows me for the rest of my life. The ratio says that it is not my fault but yours. Yet it's just impossible to ignore that feeling of being neglected. Why? Sometimes I feel like shouting at you - do you feel guilty at all?
Did you just choose to completely ignore what you've done?
Sometimes I wish you were dead, then maybe the thoughts would stop. Virtually you are not existing anymore anyway. It's impossible to go back so all that is left is to accept that the past cannot be changed and the urge for harmony will never be satisfied. All I wanted was a little bit of your time ....

Guess it's obvious why we call this Augengneiss:
