- Do you prefer a safe Internet?
- Do you prefer a stable Internet?
- Do you prefer the old security of rights “Innocent until proven Guilty” to still be a golden rule in democratic societies?
- Do you support a free, prosperous Internet
- Do you oppose giving control over the World’s most significant tool for Prosperity and Freedom of Expression to the entertainment industry and dictatorius regimes?

This has NOTHING to do with protecting artists’ Copyright! They are already protected through the law over most parts of the world – and I support the ones I like by buying their music and films.
This has EVERYTHING to do with giving the Entertainment Industry (and subsequently corrupt regimes) the TOTAL control over The Internet…

My mother’s little friends
My mother sees to the little airborne friends during the winter. They are having an absolute fiest on all the delicious food she is serving them.
Although lighting conditions were poor today, I managed to get a couple of shots of a Great Tit (Norwegian: Kjøttmeis, latin: Parus major)

The Sun is here
Although there was quite a lot of moisture in the air that dampened the light today, this picture of Læigastinden (Laeigastinden) 1,320 meters above sea level indicates that the sun is back again and will soon shine on the beeches as well.

Cutter “Ariadne” – Narvik – Narvik Kystlag
The cutter “Ariadne” this evening in the port of Narvik. “Ariadne” is owned by Narvik Kystlag – an organization for the preservation of traditional vessels in the Ofoten area. Ariadne was taken over in 2005 by Narvik Kystlag from Nordnorsk Fartøyvernsenter og Båtmuseum – an organization for the preservation of traditional North-Norwegian sea-faring culture.
Classic clipper hull – stunningly beautiful lines – although it looks like tha hull has been somewhat rebuilt throughout the years.

She’s simply beautiful
The Sleeping Queen from a different angle. The glaciers shown prominently as blueish white fields. As she towers 1,576 meters over the fjords, she is lightly powdered with freshly fallen snow. The winter is just a thousand meters away now.
