Trollsk – Unreal

Yet another photo from the harbor tonight. The fog makes a “trollsk” atmosphere, meaning unreal or unbelievable.

New Hotel in Narvik – Beautiful Design

I am not a big fan of glass and concrete buildings. Usually they amount to an arcitectual statement that is one of megalomania and usually the facades are cold and dull. But I must admit that the new Rica Hotel being built in Narvik (expected finished February 2012) is one of beautiful deisgn. It has a shape that associates with beauty in mathematics or even an organic form. This picture was taken today, and it is starting to look like “something now”!

Night-time superpanorama

This superpanorama was shot using a 1 second delay on my Canon IXUS 850IS at 01:30 am overlooking the Ofoten Fjord (click a couple of times in slow succesion to se full resolution).

There is nothing wrong with the camera. The lights from the docked ship is skewed for real. When high or low tides set in the water curves in the narrow sound and any reflecting light is skewed.
