Han kjøree E6, den strakaste veien



This is all you see driving on our roads during winter nights here. E6 is better, but those less travelled roads, those that doesn't go through the town, are like this.
What is E6? European route E6.

Finnmarksløpet 12.03.2011



I took some photos as they crossed the first lake in Jotka. I was photographing, and greeting all the competitors and told them how many km was left til the first stop in their journey (laughs).

Luckily I was able to catch some of these moments. Sometimes the dogs tried to switch places by themselves (laughs). Like here, he's trying to jump over his partner, but the handler stopped him and put him back to his original place. I found it cute.

Sadly the noise and everything cause some of the dogs a bit of fear. As you can see with their tail between their legs. Some freaked out worse than others, but everyone set off safely.

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life, and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size


I think most of us have a time where we wish we could go back in time and change something we did. Or even fast-forward, so not having to deal with life at the moment.

Or like when disasters such as the earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan happen, they like to go back in time and bring everyone out of the danger zone and somewhere safe. So no life would have to be lost.

This is the night we all leave it behind



I was inspired by another photo I saw that had this on a wall. I made it on my wall. Though my version is a bit crappy. And you can't see everything, but further up it's just a yellow paper-plane and more clouds and another cut-out light blue plane.
