Holiday pictures

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 27 Nov 21

I came back from a week in Vienna, and this is the only picture of me and the friend I travelled with. I have two of her on my phone (I use a proper camera most of the time), and I think she has a picture of my shadow or fingers...

The swan and the dog

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 22 Aug 21

I suppose The Swan and Dog could have been a name for some English pub :-) Not sure if that was his inspiration, but when I finally made it abroad this summer I went to Helsinki to visit my friend and her dog. The dog loves...

Met some local wildlife on a roadtrip

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 17 Jul 21

I had to crop the picture quite a lot, since I didn't bring my telephoto lens, but it should be clear enough to show the reindeer. I went driving up in the mountains, about 2 hours from where I live. My friend took pictures with...

Seeing the moon in the middle of the day

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 9 Jan 21

Some days ago, Danielle @VivaLaDani13 commented on how seeing the moon in the middle of the day is a bit odd. Next day the moon was hanging over the hill I can see from my window, this picture is taken between 10AM and 11AM (as...

Waiting for the test rate to rise

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 25 Apr 20

My country has already a high test rate, but since we don't produce any of the chemicals needed ourselves they were running out of means to test people. That made some researcher at my university come up with a new test. They boil...

Lot of rolls!

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 25 Mar 20

Just went to the grocery store, and after all the pictures of empty shelves, I thought it might have started here too. But no, lot of shelves, filled with toilet paper. Would you buy a lot and sell it on e-bay?

Giving money to charities

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 24 Mar 20

Quite a few ads for charities have been popping up here, some new ones because of the corona pandemic. I give regularly to Amnesty and SOS Children's Villages, but I've been thinking about adding a third. Possibly WWF or...

Pictures from planes

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 1 Jan 20

I'm trying to figure out where I've stored all my pictures and make sure they're all on an external harddrive before I get a new computer. Lot of pictures of horses here, but also lot of pictures from planes. When I fly...

What do you do with the pictures you take while travelling?

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 23 Nov 19

I came back from Greece one and half week ago. It was a worktrip with Erasmus, so everything paid for by the EU. Since it was work, I didn't take as many pictures as usual but I still took quite a few. So busy afterwards that I...

Seal watching

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 15 Sep 19

I went on a seal safari in Kent two weeks ago, with two English friends of mine. We got soaking wet, 'cause we sat first in a RIB. Great fun though. The seals were really close and didn't seem to mind us at all. They were...

Do you like fog?

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 6 Aug 19

It's been to dry for it lately, but some mornings we get lot of lovely fog here. It's usually the light variety that looks good in photos but doesn't stop planes. In the mountains and out on the ocean it's worse, if the fog comes...

Do you binge-watch?

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 20 Jul 19

I've never binge-watched anything before, as I've only had old-fashioned TV. Since they changed the net- and TV-deal where I live I haven't got a TV-package yet, I decided I try other stuff first. What I've done before is...

For some reason I don't really get we're getting a new internet and TV provider in my appartment building. I didn't like any of the TV providers they offered so I haven't ordered any, I might try to figure out this streaming and...

Would you climb Mount Everest?

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 28 May 19

The dead people get left there, along with a lot of trash. It's very expensieve just to get the permit to climb (as @LadyDuck found out, at least $25 000) plus it must cost a fortune to get there, equipment, sherpas etc. Would...

Waiting for summer and photo opportunities

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 14 May 19

We've had some icy cold weeks with snow and hail and wind, way too cold for May. Blaming climate change, as it is now going to get way too hot for May, but at least then it'll be nice to go out and take pictures again! I like...

Looking forward to the long, light summer nights

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 27 Apr 19

It's getting dark now, but we're getting closer to the time of the year when it doesn't really get dark. Tourists have a tendency to have problems sleeping that time of the year, so what they remember from the north is great...

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 19 Apr 19

Spring has finally sprung and the sun makes it very clear that my windows are dirty. I have had spring cleaning outside in the stables, that was actually quite nice as it was outside in the sun. I have not done anything with all...

What kind of reader are you?

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 12 Apr 19

Some people read books one chapter at the time, enjoying the book without stressing to get to the end. Others, like me, reads the whole night if the find a book they like. Luckily I'm a fast reader so if I don't have other...
