Approaching Henningsvær
On my roadtrip up north in Norway sept. 2018 -my albums are about to reach Henningsvær in Lofoten. I didn’t sped the night there but passed the road sign.. and stepped on the brakes -backed up and turned to follow the road there… a decision I did not regret!!
Henningsvær is a small place -actually a group of small islands. But when it comes to really experience the northern wild climate and hard work in the old fishing days -it’s a big place anyway! The light was difficult at the time -heavy clouds and strong winds too -with sun burst in between. But did I get the right atmosphere? -Yes I think so 🙂
These are the albums now where any shot from my Sept trip can be seen:

European Majorette Championships 2018
In October 11 – 14 two of my granddaughters were participating in the
European Majorette Championships 2018 -in Porec, Kroatia. Amalie in the team ‘Krystallen Drill’ from Norway -and Marlene as couch for the very team. The show and arrangement was lovely. And I had a great visit in the beautiful area.
The album covering the shows is to be found HERE
Kroatia 2018
In Oct 2018 I had a nice trip to Kroatia. 2 of my granddaughters were participating in European majonette championship 2018 in Porec.
We enjoyed the shows of course -but I also had interesting visits in the small city of Porec -plus a lovely ferry trip to Rovinj! Both cities were obviously very old -and had fine old parts from way back in time -close to the middle age. I love such parts! 🙂

Svolvær
On my trip to Northern Norway Sept. 2018 I have finally arrived Lofoten. And Svolvær is my first stop.
I spent the night in one of the old fisherman's cabins there -all those cabins are now upgraded of course for tourists and travellers! 🙂 -and equipped with every modern need. But the old walls and atmosphere are well kept.. It was a real pleasant stay!
So was Svolvær! Fantastic nature -sky high mountain tops that vanished in the clouds.. and lucky me had lot of clouds that day! I love grey weather and clouds when shooting -specially in a place like this when we should think back to the all the hard work and lost lives back in time -where 'everyone' went up here for fishing.. in boats not equipped as today of course -nor the men was!...
Puerto Rico battlefield
On my last trip to Puerto Rico Dec 2017 – Jan 18 I came across this interesting place there.. well -‘came across’ isn’t quite true as I knew it was there from earlier -seen it for years actually -but didn’t think of going there taking photos until now! Can you believe!! -It’s this thing about being blind to places you pass but don’t see
Anyway -it’s an abandoned amusement park! Did not pay off I guess so they closed it.. I saw the sign outside that something else was finally going to come there -so I ‘woke up’ and shot some photos. It was no problem getting into one area but others were closed though.
I got the sense of a battlefield in there…. exciting! 🙂
These photos might be found in different albums too -but here they can be seen in one collection.
Gran Canaria 2017 – 18
A trip to Gran Canaria have become sort of a tradition for me -in late December and about the half of January. So also this time; Dec 2017 & Jan 2018. As usual the places are the areas of Puerto Rico and Arguineguin.
Being there so many times one should think there is not much more to shoot -but when concentrating on more wall, building details and so -in the villages -I actually did find some new stuff!
I also visited an abandoned amusement park / pool and fun area -and got some interesting decay shots from there.. -will be shown later on.. Just a few shots presented at this time but more will come the next days! 😉
