My Story
I am an amateur photographer living in Hammerfest, Norway.
Most of my pictures are from Northern-Norway;
mostly Vesteraalen, Sørøya and Hammerfest.
Two years ago I started using Paint shop Pro,
to make my own graphics and art.
We are living in the worlds second northernmost town!
During the winter we have a dark periode,
where the sun stays away for two months!
We also have midnight sun at summer, and daylight all night.
This lasts for two months..
These light-conditions can make some beatiful pictures!

They are my style and my taste, but I welcome any comments!
Enjoy your stay!

I grew up in Vesteraalen, in the middle of Norway. At the age of 17, I moved to Hammerfest.
My hubby Asbjørn grew up at Slettnes, Sørøya, Finnmark.
A lot of my pictures are from Vesteraalen and Sørøya.
Hammerfest
Hammerfest is a city and municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The municipality encompasses parts of three islands: Kvaløya, Sørøya, and Seiland. Hammerfest was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838. The law required that all cities should be separated from their rural districts, but because of low population, and very few voters, this was impossible to carry out for Hammerfest in 1838. The rural district of Hammerfest (Sørøysund) was separated from the city on 1 January 1852, but it was merged back into the city on 1 January 1992. (But without the area of Kvalsund, which was separated from Sørøysund as a municipality of its own in 1869.) Text from Wikipedia.
