Apparently, farmers are insurrecting, though I don't know when, so presumably they're ready to rise up at any time...
Anyway...
Driving through Hjartdal from Seljord towards Notodden, you pass this sign, stating that 2km to the east there is a farmer insurrection. I've always wanted to get a snap of it, and now I have!

New month, a new concert.
It seems like I've attended at least one concert per month over the course of the last years, which isn't too far from the truth when I come to think of it.
I've been lucky enough to see many of my favorite artists, such as Metallica, Leonard Cohen and R.E.M., who I saw last night. Great concert, and an amazing light show.

Sagene Kirke
Here's the first pic I posted to Flickr that is taken with my shiny new D80. It's taken a couple of days after I got it, only minutes after I left home.
I am especially happy with it due to the difficult lighting conditions.
The D80 is an amazing tool of photography, and I can see a lot of the features coming in handy.
My two next wants for photography are a new lens, the Nikon 18-70 mm one, a beautiful, tight piece of machinery, and a flash, probably the Nikon SB 600.

New toy
My parents returned from the U.S. yesterday, and at my request they'd visited a shop called 42nd street photo in New York where they'd got me a new toy, namely a new DSLR camera house, the Nikon D80. First impressions are amazing, it's got the Nikon touch and feel, and seems a very sturdy and well-built camera. I'll try it out, and I am looking forward to two things, first having a new toy, and second having the possibility to carry two SLR cameras when I go photowandering!

A Vacation to remember
This summer my girlfriend and I have driven around Norway, nearly 2000 kilometres, to visit three cities, Trondheim, Ålesund and Bergen, all of which are places where friends and family of ours live.
Many hours on the road, and many happy memories later, we are now back in Oslo. One of the best things about the trip was Metallica.
Metallica's only concert in Scandinavia this year was in Bergen, at Koengen. An hours' worth of refreshing the box office website paid off in one of the most amazing pieces of musical fun I have experienced.
Metallica is a vibrant band that simply oozes of energy and fun. Great stuff!

Norwegian Wood - Madrugada Live
I finally had the opportunity of seeing Madrugada live, though sadly without Robert Burås (RIP). Norwegian Wood was a great experience, and I am looking forward to both Øyafestivalen and next years' Norwegian Wood. They also played a great version of "Majesty" from their album "Grit". Find the video here.

The comic that changed my view on comics
I've been reading comic books for ages; I can't remember when I started, but I sure haven't stopped, a fact to which one of my shelves at home bears testament.
A few years ago, when I was a freshman in senior high school, I discovered a comic book that would change my outlook on comics. Well, I say comic, but really, it was a graphic novel.
The graphic novel in question was called "Death: the high cost of living", and is written by Neil Gaiman. It tells the story of how Death spends a day every century or so as a human.
The way it changed my outlook was this: it made me realize that comics doesn't have to be funny, they can be dead (sic!) serious pieces of heavy literature, and they can broach important and at times touchy subjects.
Ever since, I've loved Neil Gaiman's authorship, and I still pick out my own copy of Death every now and again, in order to remind myself what it was fascinated me.
