Lofoten Islands Winter Sunrise

Photo: Colorful winter sunrise over Norwegian mainland, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 A layer of clouds was hanging over the islands with only a thin slice of clear sky in the eastern horizon.  This light lasted a few minutes and then turned to gray and my camera didn’t come out of the bag for the […]

Olstind – Lofoten Islands

Photo: Olstind rises from waters of Kjerkfjord, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 Olstind, as it rises from the waters of the Kjerkfjord is probably the most iconic mountain view of the Lofoten Islands.  It is often a scene that literally says ‘take a picture of me.’  Changing angles from Hamnøy towards Reine can give a […]

This and That

Photo: Winter sun over Værøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 It seems that whenever I return to California my ideas for blog posts disappear down some black hole.  Half the problem is I get the stupid idea that I need to work on other projects, like an eBook on the Lofoten Islands that I’ve been […]

San Felipe Baja 250 Time

Photo: Kendall Norman Honda 1x, San Felipe Baja 250.  March 2011 It’s that time of year to head down to San Felipe, Baja California for the 2012 Baja 250.  My brother is racing again so I’ll be helping out the team while pre-running and on race day.  By ‘helping out,’ I mostly mean sitting out […]

34,000 Feet Over Greenland

Photo: Flying over Greenland.  Feb 2012 I’m now home in Santa Barbara where I’ll more or less be for the next few months, not counting a road trip or two.  Had a good flight from London to San Francisco yesterday.  The plane was remarkably empty so I had the whole center row of the 747 […]

Homeward

Photo: Lonely winter road, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 Wednesday I board a plane and chase the sun into the western horizon.  After 5 months here in Europe it’s once again that time to head home to California.  Not that I wouldn’t love to stay longer, but unfortunately I still haven’t managed any success with […]

Last Journeys Among the Brecon Beacons

Photo: hiking towads Fan Y Big, Brecon Beacons national park, Wales.  Feb 2012 As luck would have it, my final days here in Wales took a turn from the usual gray, rainy days, for a weekend of brilliant sunshine.  Saturday saw us heading up Fan Y Big and Cribyn.  I was hoping to wait around […]

Patterns in Ice – Lofoten Islands

Photo: Snow on Urvatnet, Lofoten Islands, Norway.   Feb 2012 Photo: Rock breaks through ice on Nedre Heimdalsvatnet, Eggum, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 With the relatively low amounts of snow during my two weeks on the islands I often found myself using ice as a foreground subject.  Normally, even with only 10cm or so of […]
