365-49 Fredrikstad by night

-
I had forgotten how nice Fredrikstad was at night time..

I don't go out in the evening very often during the winter..
and getting a "night shot" in the summer is pretty close to impossible.
it just doesn't get dark enough.



I decided to grab my camera & see if I could get a couple of shots.
.. I thought I could use this as a learning opportunity.






Lesson one.. Hard to take photos when it is MISTY.. 
- next time I venture out.. I think I will wait until the sky is clear,,

Lesson two. - fantastic time to take out the tripod sill in it's box

I love mist so I like that photo ;-) It is actually darker there than I would have thought. Is it dark for a few hours at night and then mostly twilight?

You've captured the light beautifully... yes, yes! Dig out that tripod... :-) Mist and fog can create some dramatic scenes... thanks for sharing with me on G+!

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...
