In the air again



The weblog hasn't been update with recent material because of a holiday. Sandra, Max and I have spent a three weeks holiday in Finland and Norway. We drove high up through Northern Europe from Helsinki, via the wild brown bear lodge (http://www.wbb.fi/), through Lapland until the Barentsz sea at the Varanger peninsula. It was a marvelous experience with great photography. Brown bears, owls, capercaillie, black grouse, wolverine, beautiful sceneries..........etc etc. I came home with over a thousands images that are waiting to be processed. A nice job for the coming weeks! As a starter two of the highlights of our vacation. A picture of a male brown bear that needed a good meal after its hibernation (on the menu was a delicious elk steak) and secondly, a male capercaillie that is displaying at its lek. Both pictures are made with my beloved Nikon D3 combined with the AF-S VR 600/4.0.
