Always nice when you start a gray day on the road, and you drive along a lake, the sky opens up, and you see this!.
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).

A cold and windy day at my favorite lake. Thought this Northern Cardinal was going to blow right off his perch. His colors up against that dark background made my day.
Nonethless, as a voiceless wind-up bird unable to wind the world's spring, I decided to go flying through the summer sky - which turned out to be fairly easy. Once you were up, all you had to do was flap your wings at the right angle to adjust direction and altitude. My body mastered the art in a moment and sent me flying effortlessly wherever I wanted to go. I looked at the world from the wind-up bird's vantage point. Whenever i had had enough flying, I would land on a branch and peer through the green leaves at rooftops and roads. I watched people moving over the ground, carrying on the functions of life. Unfortunately, though, I could not see my own body. This was because I had never once seen the wind-up bird and had no idea what it looked like.
For a long time - how long could it have been? - I remained the wind-up bird. But being the wind-up bird never got me anywhere. The flying part was fun, of course, but I couldn't go on having fun for ever. There was something I had to accomplish down here in the darkness at the bottom of the well. I stopped being the wind-up bird and returned to being myself.

Took a trip to the NW part of Scania visiting Kullen to see the wind and waves pounding the jagged rocks at the coastline. Managed to time it between two pretty strong downfalls of rain. Next step is to to further north to the west coast of Sweden around Smögen. Seems to be a solid forecast for continued strong winds, so let's see what can be done.
The picture shows a single wind turbine standing in the middle of the rain. At around 130 meters tall, it gives a sense of the sheer size and height of the weather front. On the left, the sun is setting, while on the right, the storm is already passing by.
The picture was taken with the DJI Mini 4 Pro.
Taken just a few meters further up the path than yesterdays shot and converted to sepia tones in PS.

My appreciation and thanks to all of you for your comments awards and faves, and the Explore!
I like when the wind tries to push back the apex of breaking waves. It never wins but keeps on trying.
Tomorrow the All Blacks will try to defeat the mighty Lions - the best rugby players of Britain and Ireland with over 60 million population against NZ 4.6 million. We don't tempt fate by claiming we will win, kiwis are cautious :)

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not and what beyond is in eternity.

Taken from Waterloo Lane, Kingsley, during a daily exercise last year.
A break from trains, and I like the clean lines offered. I also thought the pylons brought a dose of northern realism, so opted not to clone them out.

“Abandonamos a nuestras espaldas las nevadas montañas de Wind Rivers y Uints, siempre rodando por el mismo escenario maravilloso pero, de vez en cuando, por entre largas filas de esqueletos mondos y blancos de mulas y de bueyes —monumentos de las grandes avanzadas de colonos de antaño— y, acá y acullá, de maderos hincados en la tierra y pequeños montículos de piedras que el cochero dijo que indicaban el sitio de descanso de restos más preciosos.
¡Solitaria tierra para una sepultura! Una tierra conquistada al coyote y al cuervo; otro modo de aludir a la soledad total y a la desolación. En las glaciales y tenebrosas noches, los esqueletos desparramados emitían un tenue y asqueroso fuego fatuo, semejante a un lívido tachón de luna que constelase el infinito desierto. Era obra del fósforo de los huesos. Pero ninguna aseveración científica prohibiría el escalofrío del cuerpo cuando nos guiábamos por uno de aquellos fuegos fatuos y sabíamos que era producido por una calavera.”
