A quiet sunday morning on my way to work on the boat.
I am no great photographer, but HDR photography seems to help me capture the colors of this wintery morning.

And this in a country that spews out movies telling us how dreams can come true. Come on. Dream! You can do it.

Couldn't get it to load properly on my android phone.

Couldn't get it to load properly on my android phone. Got a few photos and a dead slow browser. Will look for the story elsewhere.

Northern lights over my hometown and Myrna Braza singing. Nice combo.

Timelapse - Northern Lights over the wharf in Bergen, Norway the night of 14th Oct 2013

Was very lucky when I went down to the harbor area in Bergen the night of 14th october ... the sky started to light up with the Aurora Borealis dancing ... ahh ... was a magical night - once in a lifetime experience of being at the right spot at just the right time - It doesn't happen very often that we can see northern lights this far south - and in Bergen without skies to cover it up (It's on the western part of southern Norway who gets a lot of rain). And even better - almost no wind ... made me shooting pictures for 2+ hours ... so here is a timelapse from that night ... :) 

Music by the amazing artist Myrna Braza from Bergen with the song "Free As A Bird" - http://www.myrnabraza.no/ - Free As A Bird - Myrna Braza

We will now see increased debate over 'allowable' use of glass.

We will now see increased debate over 'allowable' use of glass.

Instead we should take the debate further.


With glass other people can see them and they can be taken off.

It isn't difficult to conceal recording technology, yet people feel threatened by glass because it is visible.

What to do then when eye implants become common? What if those implants have options like IR vision, zooming or even recording. And cannot be removed. Should a person with eye implants be denied the right to see concerts? Use a public shower? Or will we have to accept that privacy must change? Most people are very sloppy with their privacy on the internet where search engines makes it easy to find anything. Yet they react to people wearing glass because it is invasive.

I will gladly talk to people around me about these issues. Get more data points. If only i had a pair. :-D
