Where the Glomma River meets the Øyeren lake on a very cold day in January.
The Glomma is Norway's largest river.
Shortly before, the Vorma comes into the Glomma and this carries warm deep water from Norway's largest lake, the Mjøsa. Therefore the Glomma is difficult to freeze over here.
Today was the first day with a closed snow cover, unfortunately it will be warmer again tomorrow (mens vi venter! :-))
I've been trying to get a winter shot of a tree in the Pep Ventosa "In the round" style for awhile. I tried three times before this one, and spent hours on each of them in post, but they just didn't look right to me. It's possible that trees in winter aren't suitable for that style, or it could just be me, but here is my fourth and final try. You have to find a tree that doesn't have hugely distracting things in the backgrounds.
I took this in Garry Point Park, walking around the tree as I shot it. There are about 20 images here, layered in PS, as I can only do nine in-camera multiple exposures.

Here Norway's largest river runs through Lake Øyeren and forms Norway's largest inland delta.
The delta is a bird paradise and especially in spring and autumn the migratory birds take a break here before moving further north.

I don't actually celebrate Valentine's Day....I think love should be shown every day. But I took this photo last month and thought it would be appropriate for the day. So Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

Northern Mockingbird showed up for some evening berries. He ate one or two and then was sitting nicely on the twig enjoying frizzing but sunny weather.
All quiet on our walk.
Bit eerie to think of all
the Quarrymen once there.
They left in 1937 as the Anglesey barracks were then stated unfit for human habitation.
The East Tower was built in 1190AD in the reign of King Richard I (The Lionheart by Sir Walter Espec. The Castle was Beseiged during the Wars of The Roses and the English Civil War. A Parliamentry Report dated 29 August 1644 stated 'Our Canon are planted before Helmsley Castle and we hope speedily to take it'.
