A mute swan ( Cygnus olor ) in the middle of a noisy lift-off at Østensjøvannet, Oslo. When processing this photo, I discovered that a nesting great crested grebe can be seen by the water's edge in the background, to the left in the photo. A nice surprise. :-) Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

I took this photo because of the beautiful colours on the leaves on the ground and in the trees, but for some reason I think it turned out much better in monochrome. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

That is the title of this statue ("solen og jorden"), created by Ørnulf Bast. It stands in a park by the central train station, much loved by pigeons and gulls and surrounded by construction projects. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

Got up early to catch the sunrise and the "golden hour" by the lake Østensjøvannet in Oslo before work. It was quite cloudy, though. Sometimes cloudy sunrises can be amazingly spectacular, but this morning was... well, just gray. Oh well, the light was still quite warm and soft and the lake was nice and calm -- and anyway, morning photography is definitely a good way to start the day!

A couple of cranes ( Grus grus ) also visited the little lake Furutjønne when we were there. Such a remarcably wonderful evening -- and on top of that, we got to see these beautiful cranes. Memorable. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 70-300mm Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

The roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) -- not the farmer's best friend, but I still think it's a beautiful animal, and fun to spot. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp
