Haukeliseter, a mountain lodge at 1000m above sea level, with access to the Hardangervidda. Located along road E-134, it is a well known reststop on the route from Bergen to Oslo. Lake Ståvatn remains frozen until early July, and when it thaws, boat outings become possible. The surrounding Hardangervidda mountain plateau is home to some 10000 reindeer. Yesterday the news reported of 300 of them dying from being struck by lightning.

A new year, new challenges and one of my new year resolutions is to try out more different kinds of photography. Minimalism fascinates me, as does architecture and some kinds of black and white photography. I took this photo last summer, but I think this egg is perfect for representing a new beginning.

A few miles outside the town of Drumheller is a small area with these very distinctive hoodoos. They are part of the badlands that surround the area. Hoodoos in Drumheller, Alberta, are a distinctive feature that continues to attract thousands of visitors each year. The sediments comprising these hoodoos were formed between 70 and 75 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period (wikipedia). The area attracts many tourists but these hoodoos are best photographed at Sunset.

I wanted to catch a Vancouver blue hour from the North Shore, but instead the Sunset sky lit up in tones of pink and orange.
