On my way to my favorite beach, I passed this wall. I got the feeling that I wasn't alone... as if many people were watching me and wanted to join me on my walk down to the sea.

Honorable Mention

On an expedition close to home, I wanted to capture subjects that spoke to me, that gave my mind something to work with, and that took me back to my childhood. I moved closer and around the puddle, and suddenly I found it. My thoughts frightened me!

Nominee

Who's in the frozen puddle

Walking along the beach on an early autumn day brings peace of mind and clears my mind. My thoughts go back to my childhood and all the summers we spent by the sea. A freedom "away" from the world.  But what I see sets my imaginations in motion.

Surprise at the beach

I love jumping into the pool every Saturday

1-2-3 Jumping in

I look for abstract motifs when I am out, whether it's at my favorite beach or in the woods. There are many long walks that result in nothing more than me enjoying being outdoors. Suddenly, nature reveals its own language and conveys moments to me. What`s happening?

Broken Bones

The workshop is part of the workplace of Aker Solutions in Moss, Norway.
Aker Solutions makes "The Umbilical" which is used in the oil industry. In the workshop, parts are made, parts are repaired and they contribute to the finished product "The Umbilical".

The man in the workshop

At the beach there is a stream. Water coming from the closest agriculture farm and it travels through soil, mud and rotten seaweed.

Shell Graveyard

Working with different material and then take a photo - works in mysterious ways.

Face?

I stand in the forest and show myself off.

Look at my shape

Waterfall at Hàifoss, Iceland. The river runs down a majestic cliff. 7 cubic meters (or  tonn) per second. The drop height of the waterfall is 128 meters and is one of the highest waterfalls in Iceland.
