There were lots of nicely carved heads around the Viking market. Here is one up close and personal.

A test shot really, however. Tintin is still a boyhood hero of mine. No matter how un-PC he is today. I still re-read his stories and still enjoy them. Here he is in a kilt as in the Black Island.

Walking around the Viking market I spotted his gentleman sitting in the sunshine carving intricate patterns in his wooden boxes. Well worth exposing a few pixels :0)

I was sitting on the grass talking to the wife and a photo opportunity came along all on his own. His shield looked a bit worn. The fire was set by a potter firing his pots the old way.

…you read this I will have been to this years Viking market near to where I live here in Norway. Hopefully this year I’ll bring back some shots I’d like to share with you.

Going against the digital trend and just to show what you can achieve with analogue here’s a shot from a few years ago.

It’s difficult to get a decent shot when you are pressed together like sardines on the deck of a small canal boat. However I offer up this one of a friend taking a snap with her phone.

This is the view I have most mornings just before my 10 mile commute begins. My Cannondale waiting patiently to get my sleepy head on the road. Cycling is my biggest hobby at least as big as photography. It’s a fine balance and it would be impossible to chose to drop one if I had to.
Lets hope I wont have to for a while at least..

Domestic duties.. Making waffles to my wife’s recipe. I just love what this lens does with light. The waffles weren’t bad either ;0)
