Fløankaia – seascape – lang eksponering

At Fløan Kai, history and modern photography merge into a breathtaking seascape. This is the very spot where, in times past, boats made their way across the fjord to Frosta—now visible in the distance, echoing a storied past. Captured with a sturdy tripod, a zoom lens, and long exposures, the images transform the moving sea into silky, dreamlike washes of blue and gold. In the background, the remnants of the old Fløan Church—a cherished cultural relic now located at Sverresborg in Trondheim—stand as a testament to history. Here, the interplay of timeless architecture and the fluidity of nature creates an enchanting narrative, where every long-exposure frame tells a story of heritage and enduring beauty.

Stjørdal is a city in constant evolution, where modern architecture meets historic streets and buildings. The Kimen cultural center stands prominently in the heart of town—a stage for art, music, and community life, as well as a compelling subject for street photography. Reflections in its glass façade capture both the bustle of city life and the fleeting moments of passersby. By using black and white or selective color, you can highlight the lines and contrasts of the architecture, underscoring the timeless quality of the urban landscape while the people who inhabit it leave their unique mark.

Værnes Kirke i vinterlig prakt

Værnes Kirke i vinterlig prakt

Værnes Church, which dates back to the early 12th century, is a splendid example of Norwegian medieval architecture. When winter lays its snowy blanket over Stjørdal, the church takes on an especially enchanting aura: the stone walls stand out in the soft evening light, lending a serene, dignified quality to the frost-kissed landscape. In the churchyard, snow and shadows create a painterly effect, while the interior—with its centuries-old murals and thick walls—reflects a rich cultural legacy. Here, the calm of the past merges with the glow of the present, and the church remains a living cultural monument where generations have gathered for nearly 900 years.
