Still quite warm

Green Bath

18 degrees today! And no wind, it's very warm.

With the black mountain's background, I was tempted to add some stars:

A truly magical place:

Loki bathed several times:

Arctic Summer

Series of ponds:

Midnight Sun

Yesterday's photos. Today the midnight sun begins.

Bêêêêêêh!

Utganger sheep, an old species from at least the Viking Age. They have thicker wool than ordinary sheep and their instincts are wilder:

I saw a fox trotting off in front of my window yesterday evening, perhaps the third time I'll have enough time to take a picture. I wish...

Symphony

Symphony of clouds, wind and rain:

Ureberget, a mountain that inspires many local artists:

I love the red paint of the rorbus (traditional fishermen's huts) in contrast with the green of summertime:

A few seconds later a rainbow appeared on the mountain, but I was already cycling downhill, actually pedalling on the steep descent against the strong wind:

Running Waters

12 degrees today! It's quite warm but it's not going to last...

I love this path beyond the arch of the rowan trees:

Lunatic Fox

I saw a fox about 20 metres away on the road two days ago. He crossed the road and then saw me coming silently on my bicycle and seemed quite puzzled, so he decided to cross the road again (don't ask why!). He looked young and playful and had some whitish streaks on his fur, remains of his winter artic coat. I completely melted of course... 

Microcosm

Today, I really delighted in looking at details. After cycling yesterday in the pouring rain and the strong wind, I find some comfort in the microcosm, I find myself regenerated in the green shelter of the grass...

I love snails, and I don't eat them! This is my day off, and at last I can go back into my warm and inviting shell ;-):

A damaged shell with its nacreous inside. There's a face:

A glittering slug in the sun:

Soft lichen:

Downhill

Coming down from Hagskaret, this a pretty steep hill:

This boat's always here, fully employed for... photographers:

Green pastures, but the buds are still shy in this area:

Marshland:

Pity about the electric cable:

A strange case for the Fortean Times: My beloved took the bus today, and found an old bus ticket dating from the 14 th of May...which is today but the year was 1967. And the ticket is very old, there is no doubt about it, just look at the price - 26 øre.

Why was this ticket here, and why today, on the same date?

Green bicycle

This is my new friend, an electric bicycle (eZee Torq), completely "green". No pollution of any sort. The whole summer, I'll be riding it to go to work at a speed of 25 km/hour thanks to the electric motor. I have still quite a lot of effort to provide especially since I shall cover 56 kms per day, but I managed to cover 28 kms in one hour and a quarter. I got warm, for sure, but not out of breath.

The photos I took on my way:

Guiding season has begun

A few photos taken from the bus today, this is the advantage of having the best seat in the bus, right in front, the guide seat.

Rhubarb

These new-born leaves are overwhelming, I can hardly wait for the rhubarb pie... :

Green and red again...:

Mother Goose

I made two friends today, two wild geese who came very close, and followed me along the coast. Actually, they came a bit too close for Loki's taste. It gave me a strange feeling, since last night I incorporated a goose in my most recent painting. I love geese...

I can imagine how good it feels!:

There's a face in the mountain... the Moutain King:

This is where Loki bathed, just before rolling on something really horrible. I think I'm going to burn lots of incense tonight:

A present from the fairies:
