Lovely photo. I couldn't find anywhere to get a nice clear silhouette like that (too many mountains and trees in the way!) I like the way the sun is shining on the water too.

I love that you can still see a bit of color and that the silhouette isn't completely blacked out by the light. Very nice!!

The long summer days is one of the things i'm enjoying most right now about Northern Ireland! Isn't it great!? It's almost 10pm and it's still light outside!

I agree with your love of the soft buttery clouds and your darling's hair a'blowin'! You remarked on my blog that you wanted to be taught but you clearly understand how to achieve the silhouette! All I did for mine was find a hillside that put my boys at the top of the hill with the sun going down behind them and I laid downhill from them shooting upward. I was working with a stationary horsey afterall so I positioned the horse in front of the sun and then just waited for The Boy to rock so his body blocked the sunshine. The star shape of the sun was a lucky catch through the peephole his hat and neck created. I don't know about you, but now that I am cognitively aware of how cool silhouettes can be I can't get enough of them, before this contest they were just mistakes!

Love your photo! Just came by to say hi. How long have you been in Norway? I have lived overseas a few times and know there are probably a few things you miss from home but there are probably many more great things there. Stop by and say hi when you get a chance.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
