Håmmårsbukta – Light, History, and Stillness by the Fjord

Håmmårsbukta – Light, History, and Stillness by the Fjord

🌅 New post: Sunset & Stillness at Håmmårsbukta, Skatval.

Today I shared a photo and a short story from an evening at Håmmårsbukta — a quiet bay on the Skatval peninsula with a rich history and an incredible view over the Trondheimsfjord.

With the golden hour light fading and the water calm, I set up for some long exposure shots — and the results felt soft, peaceful, and full of quiet motion.

This spot was once part of WWII coastal defenses, but today it’s a beautiful, open space for walking, thinking, and photographing light as it shifts.

Brekka – An Abandoned House Full of Questions and Golden Light

Brekka – An Abandoned House Full of Questions and Golden Light

🏚️ New post: Brekka – An Abandoned House with a Story Untold

I’ve driven past this old house in Grandmarka near Sparbu more times than I can count — always wondering what kind of life once filled its rooms.
This time, I stopped.

Shot a few frames during golden hour, and the light brought out every texture and crack like a whisper from the past.
Sometimes, the places we pass by are the ones that stay with us the most.

Steinvikholmen – Golden Light and Quiet History by the Fjord

📸 New on the blog: Steinvikholmen at Sunset

Just posted a short story and photo series from Steinvikholmen, a quiet historic site by the fjord in Skatval.
I visited during golden hour, and the old castle ruins lit up beautifully as the sun dipped behind the mountains. Calm water, warm light, and timeless textures — a perfect scene for landscape photography.

Solnedgang på Velvang

Solnedgang på Velvang

A new photopost on Tronder.org:

Velvang – a peaceful paradise for photography

Just 30 minutes from town, Velvang on Skatval is one of my favorite spots for photography. There’s no need to walk far – inspiring scenes are everywhere you look. The golden hour, especially in spring and autumn, brings beautiful sunsets and waves rolling in along the shoreline. With a tripod, long exposures, and both wide-angle and zoom lenses, the creative possibilities are endless.

Some call it landscape, others seascape – I just call it peaceful and fun. Bring your camera (or just your phone) and head to Velvang before sunset. You won’t regret it.
