Went fishing/filming today. Yr.no, the fabulous Norwegian online weather service, reported sunny weather and no wind (again).

Well, that´s fly fishing… Read more »

Even Further North
We woke up very early, took down the tent and forced it to fit in the tent bag. After a hectic day with several hours in the car, we arrived to Harstad for the consert at the Festspillene i Nord-Norge festival. Håvard set a new personal record by talking three hours without a single break…. Read more »

And I’m very happy to report that I’ve stumbled upon quite a few hidden pearls… These pics are all from a… Read more »
