Fantoft stavkirke

Some people would say that hanging out in the woods as the sun sets behind the Fantoft Stave Church, site of the infamous 1992 arson, is a little creepy. I found it to be exhilarating. I wanted to wait for darkness as there appeared to be some spotlights. However, I didn’t want to miss the last tram back to my hotel, and it was already approaching midnight.

My Christmas present to myself this year was a Nikon 85mm f/1.8D lens and today’s photo was taken using it. Here are some more photos with the 85mm lens and my D7000.

This will be our first Christmas in Oregon in many years. Last year we were in Utah, and the year before that we were in Thailand. Personally, I could go for another Christmas in Thailand right now.

Japanese females in Halloween costumes

Today’s photo is from the 2011 Ashland, Oregon Halloween Parade. I think these two girls are Japanese students at SOU this year. I’ll be posting (and have posted) many more photos from Halloween (we had great weather and there were some stellar costumes this year) on my other blog which you can find here.
