I have had the opportunity to be close to endangered animals. A friend called me and asked if I would like to join him and a group of others and travel for a weekend to Nordens Ark. I had no clue what Nordens Ark was and what they stand for, and went straight to Google to find out. An hour later I called back and said: Yes, I want to join you! We had a fantastic guide, Tom Svensson. I strongly recommend that you follow his work, he is something as rare as an conservation photographer. He […] Continue reading →

In parts of the country the Government has stated third level emergency preparedness (the highest). Up around the smaller rivers in the west and the north-east of the country people are […] Continue reading →
Yesterday NRK released Yr.no 2.0 for iOS. The first version also optimized for iPads. I was quick to install it and to try it out. I started with adding the same places to monitor as on my phone, but ran in to problems when trying to add New York city. The app then crashes! I kind of like the iPhone version better. There is to much information on the screen at the same time on the iPad version. It has lost the same simplicity! Is webcams important for you? I don’t you used them even […] Continue reading →
