130th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge
Neo-gothic tower of the Brooklyn Bridge
On May 24, 1883 the Brooklyn Bridge opened for use. I walked over it for the first time a little over 129 years later to take today’s photo.

Hammerfall @ Getaway Rock Festival
My random image of the day was this one. With the Poltergeist-looking stage, I had to do a bit of research to figure out who was even on it. Since my subsequent photos are of Enslaved, this was likely Hammerfall–a Swedish band I’m not really into. This is one of only a few photos I have from the Getaway Rock Festival that feature a fairly dark sky. I took this at 11:30 p.m.
Stout Grove
Today’s photo comes from our trip to a forest of California Redwoods about eight months ago.
Headbanging to Enslaved
You can get some strange pictures at concerts when you slow down the shutter speed. This one was taken at 1/13 of a second. Another slow-shutter speed, concert favorite of mine can be found here.
Vintage gas station at Norwegian Museum of Cultural History
Gas station relocated from outside Wessels gate 15 to Norsk Folkemuseum
My random photo of the day was this pic. This gas station and VW Beetle don’t look that old to me, but perhaps they look ancient to a younger generation. Actually, this was one of the newer items at Norsk Folkemuseum. Most structures in this open-air museum were much more than 100-years old. There is also a Stave Church at Norsk Folkemuseum which I need to post a photo of soon.
Me at Holmenkollbakken
Al @ Holmenkollbakken (Oslo, Norway’s ski jump)
It’s fairly rare that I appear in a photograph. Usually I’m the one on the other side of the camera. However, when I was (alone) at the top of the Oslo Ski Jump two summers ago a couple came up the elevator and asked me to take their photo. I did, and then they insisted that they take mine as well. This was the result.
