We have now reached the period called summer in Norway. In western Norway we are south of the Polar Circle, but the evening is long, and it never gets quite dark.
It makes for many photos, but also for peace of mind. Even a half sunken boat becomes interesting.

One can ponder over the reflection of a straw in a lake.

Leaves of water lilies floating in the still of the night.

Mist starting to rise from the water.
PS Since it is now summer, my postings will be even more irregular than usual, so:
HAVE A NICE SUMMER!!!

Indeed - a wonderful reflective post. Happy Summer back to you & yours.
Your summer looks well worth waiting for. May you enjoy every day and every almost-night of it.
Desse bilda osar av sommar. Her kan ewin verkeleg finne "freden og roden" i ein elles travel kvardag.
Harmonisk komponert, perfekt til stemningen som blir formidla :)
God sommar til deg også :)
Happy Summer! Just last night I wanted to go out to a local park and take photographs, but I was too tired (something I never used to be) :-(
Wonderful! and Happy Summer Solstice! We've been following the streaming video of Hurtigruten...someday we'll do it in real time :)
Så nydelig dette var! Skikkelig sommerlige bilder, fra et fredfylt og fint sted. Synes jeg hører fuglene synge og frosken kvekke! :)
Ønsker deg også en riktig fin sommer, med masse godvær!
YOur photos are so beautiful that I wish my eyes can see so clearly.It's like when I look at something, it just isn't in such pristine focus. There's nothing wrong with my eyes, you know what I mean. :)
Love the first and the last shots, nice and peaceful.
Have a nice summer, too, dear Rune! You will be missed , but , as you're leaving us with such wonderful pictures to dream about, you'll be forgiven! :o)
Enjoy your time!
Yeah, - it is summertime but the weather is more like winter..
Great photos, - I like your scene selection!
Beautiful photographs. It is difficult for me to visualize a sun that never sets. You people from Norway are sturdy folks.
Nydelige bilder her Rune.Likte det med strået,gøy å se hvoran vannflata bryter lyset,og også den fine gjenspeilingen i vannet.
Du må ha en riktig fin sommer du også:)
Helt praktfullt lys i bildene dine her Rune, måtte sommeren bli like praktfull for deg også kjære venn :-)
Varm varm klem herfra til deg!
The best time of the year. I don't wanna go to bed at all. Love the light :-)
Enjoy the peacefulness of the evenings!
Beautiful and calming images! I can see that putting the camera down and just sitting and watching would be very relaxing in these places. A happy summer to you also!
Reminds me of the Lady of Shallott

and I'd expect to see Ophelia in the shallows.

Hi Runee, what a wonderful post... What a scenic and beautiful place you live in... Its just mesmerising, the lilies, the water, the pond!!
Have a great summer and a fabulous week ahead :)
Oh how beautiful! I love the atmosphere especially on the 'Mist starting to rise from the water'. It must be wonderful for it not to really get dark. I would like that all year round!
Happy Summer!
Herlige sommerbilder, selv om været akkurat nå ikke akkurat "feels like" midtsommer ;( men det kommer, helt sikkert !
og God sommer til deg også ;))
I like your top two best--among my favorites of yours, but all four are terrific in light, shadow and composition.
Terrific shots.
Have a nice summer. I am doing my best to follow your lead...
Beautiful. I especially like the mist and the straw images. Have a happy summer and don't forget to post now and again so we know what you are up to.
Lovely and moody summer scenes. More hours to play and watch--hope your summertime is great!
I agree... ah summer!
nice shoot
Hei Rune :) Lenge siden sist.
Du har fylt opp arkivet med mye flott siden jeg var på besøk sist ser jeg. Regnbuen gjorde virkelig inntrykk, nesten uvirkelig når man står face to face med et slikt eksemplar.
Ønsker deg en fin helg og god sommer :)
Lovely photos, all. Ah, the long days of summer. Though growing up in Edmonton, Alberta the summer days aren't quite as long as yours, but I do miss the sun rising at 3:30AM and last dusk at 11PM.
Enjoy your summer, RuneE.
I hope you have a great summer too, Rune, and that you also find many tranquil photo opportunities! These shots are wonderful in that say "summer" so well.
Beautiful shots, Rune.
Rune, have a great summer and thrill us occasionallyu with such as this. We will be delighted.
Så flotte sommarbilder! Skikkeleg stemning av desse. I dag var det faktisk den første sommarsdagen i området. Var nesten så vi kunne gå i shorts:)
Ha ein flott sommar!!
nummer ett og fire må vel karakteriseres som perler. God summer langs kysten til deg også
Og så sees vi på FaceBook til høsten
:)
Wow, what pics my friend, wish we were there.
perfection...in thought and photo
Flott bildeserie.
Det siste bildet her må være noe av det vakreste jeg har sett.
Nydelig!
God sommer, Rune!
Summer cannot be better described than with these fabulous photos, the mood in the first and last ones is so wonderful that i wish I could be there, and the reflections in the last three are great. Wonderful post - and I wish you a wonderful summer too, Rune!
