Cuba

Mette — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:29:39 +0000

We have just returned from Cuba. We visited the beautiful, colonial and old Havana. Here nothing has changed in many years. Cars are mostly from the 50’s, the house has not undergone any renovation since being built. A great place to bring your camera, but also take a little extra to share with the residents, they have actually very little. Something very much asked for, was soap. Cubans are very nice and easy to get in contact with.

The contrasts are big when you come to Varadero. Here you will find kilometers of Caribbean beaches with lots of tourists and few residents. But if you travel in the summer, it is not so many, it is actually low season.

Russ – a Norwegian student phenomenon

Mette — Thu, 06 May 2010 13:43:40 +0000

“Russecelebration” is a Norwegian culture phenomenon, which is based on a Danish tradition.
When students finish high school they call themselves russ and marks it with partying and special russe customs that russ hats, cards and vehicles. They wear red cloths.
The celebration peaks often up to the 17th of May, Norway´s national day, where there are students’ parades all over Norway and the Norwegian schools abroad.
Other Russ traditions include russe-kro, russ-evue and russ-newspaper.

Maartje is a russ at the Norwegian School at Gran Canaria this year and we went out in the desert, Dunas de Maspalomas, and took some russe-photos.

Students on their way to a schoolparty

I took some pictures of some students at the bordingschool where I´m working on saturday. They where on their way to a schoolparty and I took some photos of them. Let´s start with Maartje who I have taken pictures of before. I really like to take picture of her, she is very photogenic and looks really nice. She is always very creativ and do a lot of funny things when we take the pictures. And I like the result.

The power of flower

Mette — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 15:31:14 +0000

It´s spring and flower season! I love to put flowers on my balcony, it´s gives new energi. But life for a flower on Gran Canaria can be really hard. Because of the strong sun it could really be a challenge to make them stay alive. They have to be given extra care, right amount of water and shadow. I got the good spring-feeling today and had to take some photos of the few flowers I have on the balcony, but there is more to come I hope. This was also a little test of my new lens, canon 50 mm f/1.4.

Enjoy the spring, with lots of flower!

This is from Corralejo Beach at Fuerteventura. This island is a paradise for surfers. It´s always windy there and perfect conditions for surfing and kiting.

So I made an airport section in here where I´ll put a few photo from every airport I do visit in the future. I start today with two photos from Fuerteventura airport. We went to Fuerteventura for a few days in the easter to relax and grab some photos.
