Mordor next?
Lol
Here I'm climbing up to 1000 meter. I have come from the lake in the middle, if you zoom in - that is Røldal.
Many from the west coast travels up here to go down hill.
The road you can see that goes along the mountain side is a winter closed road that goes to Sauda. It was amazingly cool to drive there - one vehicle at the time and you needed to back up of you met another car.
What a country I live in, the diversities can be so huge from one part of Norway to another.
Did I say that I love my country? 😊💖😁
Heavy rain here today
I had of course to go for a hike in this weather
As long as I have good clothing I think it is awesome to hike under these conditions ☁
Majestic isnt it!
This is the view from Hotel Ullensvang in Sørfjorden on the west coast of Norway
What a trip we had!

Happy New Year to All my Flickr friends and Family!
Who knew? I first heard the term "bluetiful" on the Great Christmas light fight this year. In doing a quick Google search I found that Crayola's new blue crayon for 2017 was named "Bluetiful." It replaced the retiring yellow "Dandelion." I guess it's been a few years since I peeked inside a box of crayons!
Possibly the cutest bluejay ever. It almost looks like a juvenile but this was shot in March so that would not be possible.
Pretty cool coming up from the coast to the mountains and see this glory
Picnic here was a pure joy
Aiko had a blast
Can you spot him?
He gives the perspective, doesn't he
He is in the middle of the photo, posing for me
12 months ago we were in Macroom getting our car's NCT done & I took a photo of this shop in a very different state. See below for the photo. I'm glad they've retained the Penny Farthing. Uploaded for Smile on Saturday group (Blue-tiful)
Thank you for the many birthday wishes..I am so busy at work that I almost forgot it was the big 60! Wishing you all a great week ahead...Thank you very much for viewing my photo ! I truly appreciate any faves and comments ! 😊
I tried to recreate the amazing light in my 'Go Green' shot with some of my blue bottles. But different time of year, different light, different tones and transparency of the blues = different results!
Taken for this weeks (02-09-17) Smile on Saturday 'Blue-tiful' theme.
And another one for my glass series :-)
I hope you all have lots of smiles this week, and plenty of laughs too :-D

All my different goals are turning into shiny stars as they are being solved or dealt with.
My sky is full of accomplished tasks, but there is still lots to deal with. It keeps popping up "Oh, I need to deal with that too!"
I find life extremely interesting.
We can be so stuck in things we think is ours, like a certain way of thinking, a certain way of doing stufff, how we are dealing with things, the words we use, how we interpret others.
It can be yours, but it can likely be other's.
We adopt so easily other's stuff. We hear or see them repeat it - over and over again.
Like we do in our childhood. Our parents, the people we are surrounded by. As a young one we are vulnerable and look up to those who are older than us and we adopt their ways of doing and saying stuff without thinking about it.
When you are observing this attitude in yourself you have come one step further to solve it.
Sometimes we need to react and say "Is this my way of reacting, this clearly looks like my grandma's way!", and yes it can be yours. It can be hers too. You can keep it if you want, you can start getting rid of it if you want, it's all up to you. How cool isn't that, you are in charge of your life, you always have choices. You do them all the time, even when you think you don't have a choice - that is when you are choosing not to react or do anything.
Maybe the timing isn't right for doing anything yet.
Sometimes it is quite a job to get rid of stuff, but it sure is worth it.
You will have a shiny star too - I know that. You probably have just as many as I have.
I guess that is life - we need to deal with stuff - we are after all human beings and not an ostrich.
And thanks for that 😊
A blue jay waiting out a snow storm in a cluster of pines. With all of the tracks I see in the snow, there are many critters that take shelter here. A pine forest is one of my favorite places to be in a snow storm too. It's a quiet peaceful place to sit and listen to nature.
"Sky's The Limit" is a song from 1990 by Soul and R&B band Tony! Toni! Toné!, and when I processed this photo, that old song started to play in my head. What also immediately came to mind was the very last scene of the final episode of "Star Trek Next Generation" (one of my most-favoured TV shows of all time) where TNG's main characters meet for their regular poker game, and Cpt. Picard joins them. His words "Five-card stud, nothing wild... and the sky's the limit..." are TNG's final sentence.
But enough of this fangirl stuff. "Sky's the limit" is certainly true for that bird up there soaring Berlin's skies freely. But what about the other birds in the frame, the ones you can't see? Because the "net/mesh and steel frame" in my image belongs to two large aviaries at the Kranzler Eck's patio (the former Café Kranzler was West Berlin's most well-known café). Despite being located at the busy heart of City West, the patio is a pretty relaxed place with not too many visitors, and the aviaries are spacious and also offer enough shelter for about 100 birds (mostly parakeets, but not only) who greet the visitors with quite some noise.
Processed in... well, Color Efex is what I remember because I did the finishing touches in that programme today, but this image has been a work in progress for a while so I don't recall all the single steps (as usual).
Please note that the info on the lens is wrong. I had used my Laowa 7.5mm F/2 lens, but had forgotten to change the lens info settings in the camera, so it still "thought" I'm using the 6mm lens which I'd borrowed earlier from my Mom, magrit k..
Wishing you a beautiful second half of the week, dear Flickr friends!
I did
It's a huge chair, I didn't even have my feet on the ground while enjoying the sunset
Yet another sunset with Mark, what a nice hike we had!
