Summer Solstice Celebration

We wanted to celebrate the sunset and the sunrise of this years summersolstice at a mountain peak. The sunset was displayed on a serene bright sky and reflected a warm, mellow and yellowish color on the rocks and the spare vegetation. The photo on the mountaintop is shot approximately at 23.00 pm. The sunrise the successive morning however, was a contrast to the night before. A bitter snowstorm chilled us to the bones, but fulfilled and completed the experience of the untamed forces of the "Grandeur Nature".

Visiting Gytsjerk, Friesland.

The first picture reflecting the early morning light in the "Natuurreservaat het Wielengebied" and the second picture of Nia being chased at full speed by her halfsister Amani. This is the 15th of june and Nia is now 5 months old.

1st of June

Summer is back. It is 1st of june. We had a small camp with a lavvo-tent at lake Mykle. Continuing the next morning with a 5 hours walk in the Skrim area. Temperatures rose to above 25. Nevertheless some snow still covered the paths in the forest protected by the shades of the spruce and the pine trees. This was both a relief and a joy for the wolves in the warm weather. On a mountain-peak with a panorama bird-eye-view I could see Blefjell at a distance. The lavvo-tent will be put permanently for some weeks at Blefjell this summer. Blefjell was still covered in snow all over and will not be accessible until at least a few weeks from now. I will make a try at midsummer.
