Innbjoa Marina
Norway in HD
05/06/08 • 5 min
For a lot of people in our region May signals the start of the boating season. It is time to do that last minute maintenance before the whole family takes to the fjords. We visit a stunningly beautiful marina and watch as nature, man and his machines prepare for the season.
Winter in Bergen
Norway in HD
02/16/09 • 4 min
Come with me to Bergen - the Gateway of the Fjords! It's a winterly Bergen that greets us this time as we explore the view of the city from the Nordnes district.
The tallship in the harbour next to the famous Bryggen is the S/S Statsraad Lemkuhl.
Enjoy!
Hardangervidda I
Norway in HD
02/03/09 • 4 min
In two episodes we will travel to the Hardangervidda and enjoy this winter wonderland together.
Hardangervidda is the largest mountain plateau in Europe with an area of roughly 6,500 km2 with an average elevation of about 3,500 ft above sea level. It is located smack in the middle of southern Norway and most of the area is protected as a national park.
This is one of the favourite spots to go skiing during the Easter Holidays or mountain hiking during summer. It is both a place for solitude in nature or fun and action packed activities, whatever is your flavour.
Ferkingstad: Waves and Gale Winds
Norway in HD

Strong icy cold winds and waves breaking onto land is a common sight in our part of the world. Particularily so during the winter season. Enjoy this natural theater in today's episode.
The Origin of Ms Liberty
Norway in HD
04/11/09 • 3 min
Most people know that the Statue of Liberty was given to the US as a gift from the French at the Centennial in 1876. However, not that many would know that the copper used to give the statue its characteristic green surface came from the copper mines at Visnes on the island of Karmoey outside Haugesund.
The mines were owned by a French company and did at one point in history account for 70% of Norway's total income from export. The mines were closed down in 1972, but are preserved as a museum.
Another little known fact about the Statue of Liberty, btw, is that it was the Norwegian engineer Joachim Gotsche Giaver that designed the iron girders and beams solution that connects the lady to her pedestal.
Early spring in Fana
Norway in HD
03/27/09 • 4 min
I found this clearing in the woods in Fana just south of Bergen. Get yourself a cup of coffee, fill your lungs with the fresh cool air and watch how the sun plays with the colors of the landscape.
It is early spring and the new grass has not yet been able to overtake the grass killed off by frost, snow and ice during winter. However, with the sun gaining power and the clear water from ice melting watering its roots, there will be remarkable things happening over the next few months.
Winter Memories
Norway in HD
04/19/10 • -1 min
The west coast of Norway is blessed by the warm waters of the Gulfstream passing by and keeping the temperature a bit more pleasant than you would experience in the eastern and northern parts of the country. Under normal circumstances we would have only a few weeks of snow, but this winter has been exceptional, as we have had continuous snow from mid December to April.
Join me for a Sunday afternoon of ice-skating in January. It will be obvious from these images that we are not very familiar with skating around here.
I have also included a short driving sequence shot late March as the snow had just started to melt. It is slush time!
