"Freedom is never given, it is won" - Grafitti (Max Manus, Norwegian freedom fighter during the WW2) on a waterfall, Øvre Leirfossen in Trondheim, Norway
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have saved this shot for a long time for this day :). 8th of May is the Liberation day for the formal ending of the WW2 in Norway and Europe. When I spotted this, I had to step over a fence and pull away some branches and I felt like peeping on the power dam that I imagined could have been controlled by the Germans and a natural target for a resistance attack back in the 40ies :).
Great shot! History... Love it!
@nightskyguy_photography Thanks again Kev! I saved this shot for more than half a year for posting on this day haha...patience is a virtue? Or madness? Thanks. It's not neccessarily something anyone outside Norway would be interested in. There is a quite good thriller movie about this man, Max and his fight in Norway. I think there are an English version if interesting.
Max Manus, man of war (2008 imdb)
my old boss lives in Trondheim but I never had the chance to visit him there. have gone to Oslo a few times, however, and loved it :)
Nice sharing on an important day for us!
@david_okubo oh really! That is great. It's my home city, but I haven't lived there now for maybe 15 years or so. But my parents and some friends still live there. Glad you like it here in Oslo. But naturewise the West and the North are the spectacular parts:) It has a lot going for it though. May I ask where you live? Just give me a hint if ever around again!
@ktmcleopatra Takk for det. Ganske kult? Aner ikke hvordan de har klart å gjøre det, samt hvorfor de valgte å tagge Max Manus? Det er vel ikke vanlig at taggere tenker på sånt?

"Spirited away" - two maiko, apprentice geisha and a geisha/geiko in Gion Hanamachi, Kyoto
--------------------------------
Walking around in Gion is magical. Like mice, shadows or ghosts they might appear. You can look for them but nothing happens. Maybe you can hear distant voices and laughter behind sliding doors and curtains in a hidden world, unaccessable for the common foreigner. --------------------------------
Then out of nowhere they appeared right before me. Not one, but three! Not knowing exactly what to do, I fumbeled for the camera. Should I just watch and appreciate or should I start snapping rudely and look through the viewfinder? As I watched in the dark, had they not even noticed me? I didn't want to miss this moment by looking through the lens, so I gambled on a few discrete, no flash hip shots. But as quickly as they appeared, after some bows, a few exchanges of words and giggles they vanished into the night under the red lanterns. Only the clicking from the wooden soles lingered longer in the crisp, sakura scented night air, and hammered into me what I was unsure of having seen a glimps of. I checked the camera. Did I get something? Did I get it right? A mixed feeling of excitement and disapointment. On the upside, I got the situation down in a nice moment and a good angel with all of them in a triangle interacting. The colorfull precious silk kimonos came through and lit up the darkness. I got a hint of the sensual unpainted necklines and the incredibly high and weired okobo? wood clogs. The two apprentice maiko in their bold kimonos and obi "belt" apparently payed their respect to an older and less boldly dressed geisha. On the downside, the quality as feared got somewhat blurred and grainy as moving spirits can be. What if...Yet with a mixed feeling, I still think I got something special and unique documented which only a few have been lucky to experience. And my first "meeting" with these facinating women and culture will always stay stronger in the memory because of it. I stayed on freezing in the street for longer for another chance for another shot. But noone was ever to be seen again that night...
@photonegraphy så kult at du likte det! Ja, Japansk kultur og historie er kult. Synd man ikke vet slike ting bestandig når man er yngre, da skulle jeg prøvd å studert, eller jobbet der ett år i alle fall...og jeg har faktisk ikke lest boka, bare sett filmen som er både og, men selvsagt ikke uinteressant ;) og utrolig nok med 3 kinesiske skuespillerinner i hovedrollene.
Still getting life back together after divorce:( trying to rebuild a life again is hard to do.. my kids are my saviour and almost grown. :) long distance travel at this time wont happen, so I find pursuing my hobbies rewarding :) maybe some day long into future its possible to travel abroad.
@nightskyguy_photography I see, sorry about that. It's never easy...then long distance travels don't have priority of course. But things can change of course and take the strangest turns. I would never have thought I'd be haveing these travels to the far East some years ago. Pardon:) but who knows, you might even find someone new from abroad;) you travel the furthest through your lenses though!
Boka er bedre enn filmen. Men så er jeg interessert også, så til og med den siste samurai var dødsbra synes jeg. Oh, potensial for en caption derfra. ..hmmmm ;-);-)
Ohhhh, such a lovely caption! Lucky you, that moment you'll remember forever. Fortunately you got this pic also! Nnice! ^^
@nursbe thanks! I am surprised at how many bothered reading the lengthy text :). Yes, it was really exciting roaming the alleys in Gion...at this stage in life, it's not so often that one get that sense of mystery and excitement...yeah, glad I got this blurred shot. I still want to get some even better...
Thanks for sharing this very special moment👏👏👏

"Fawlty Towers" - A home away from home. Saying goodbye, ryokan hotel style...
@keau05 oh yes definitely. Would love to
@angmo_kantang anywy, it is hard to go wrong it seems with any ryokan in Japan, if one don't have the "wrong" expectations and find interest in the Japanese experience. A standard hotel is the same in any country, but a ryokan and capsule hotel is purely Japanese and unique!
You stayed in a capsule hotel before? Nice? Experience? Positive?
@angmo_kantang absolutely positive!:) especially one cool design one in Kyoto called "9h". It is very futuristic and minimalistic. Very different and fun experience. Of course not the same as an own hotelroom, but for me surprisingly comfortable. And moneywise for a solo traveler was great, so I could spend some more on great ryokans and food too :)
You all look great 😊
Cool! I see you really enjoyed your visit there! Really nice pic. :)
A very nice and friendly atmosphere is harbouring.

"Stargate" - nightly reflections on my beloved river of dreams, the Kamo gawa...
@chuchu600 can you see which of the bridges this one is?:) I am unsure.
@keau05 I think it's Oike Bridge. It is the north of Sanjo Ohashi（Sanjo Bridge）.
@keau05 Let's have a look at the bridge. Let's take a picture from the same place.
@chuchu600 Thank you very much. I was quite sure it was not Sanjo, but the one further upstream. :) and yes, I look forward to seeing your pic from the same place hehe.
Lovely ✨👏👏🎈

@chuchu600 absolutely! They belong to lovely and talented Hayashi Natsume, both artist and model :))
Is she the one who is floating/flying in all of her photos?
@tonyecker Hi Tony! Yes, it is. This was the backside of the previous pic, and one of the two biggest frames. It was really hugh, so the quality of the cam and lens must be really high I presume. Wonder if it was a digital or an analog one maybe. Aki would prob know that :). I'll post one or two of our amatourish but inspired shots eventually I think hehe. With Johannes as the model of course (not me:))
Awesome! You know I like these kind of background juxtaposition!

"Forever young"
It's beautiful. Is the place man made waterfall or natural? It looks so beautiful
@sarak8666 Thank you Sara. I think so too in modesty. Sometimes I am at loss to which pics get appreciated, but then again not :). This waterfall is right in the middle of Tokyo city, so it is man made. The Japanese are expert gardeners... It is part of the beautiful hotel garden we had a few nights in. I'll post some more shots from it ^ ^.
Vakkert 🌟🌟
Ok 👉 breathtaking !! 😱WOW😱👍👍😍💜💜 BEAUTIFUL!!

@keau05 yeah. Good hardware, patience, eye for detail n great composition forming in head before shooting
Beautiful Sakura
@angmo_kantang couldn't have said it any better!
@sarak8666 Thanks Sara, it was lucky for me at it's full again when I was there. Normally it would have been a bit too early.

@marco_jpn oh, that's very humbling Marco :). It was not to difficult, it's your beautiful country! But I really like how they turned out. Just wished I had a bit more time and a few more moving clouds to have an even more wow effect. Arigatou!
Nice!
Woow..this one is awesome too...
@henny2311 Thanks Henny. Perhaps the nicest one, with the beautiful iluminated pine in front to give some added texture and perspective :).

"Nocturne"- moving clouds over Heian Shrine at night time, v1.
Beautiful buidling and setting captured Kenneth
@nightskyguy_photography Thanks Kevin! I thought you might appreciate this long exposure, night shot. Just wished was a even more clouds moving for an extra added effect. This place is swarmed during day tim with tourists, but living close by made it possible to go passed at night time with a tripod and have it all to ourselves :).
Awesome Ken...
@henny2311 Thanks Henny^ ^. I thought you might like these. It is super nice in daytime with all the people, but it's magical at night, uplit with noone around :). Long time since we got to chat...hope everything is fine!
Beautiful 😱😍
@whitesharkmoon thanks! When one have a tripod, it is possible to manage sharp shots like these in the dark :). I am happy i decided to drag it all the way with me. It was worth it I think! Makes you wanna go there right? And if any of my shots can inspire someone it's nice.
Woooow!!! Nice!!!!! ;))
@minamiza01 Thank you!! It is an amazing shrine, and using a tripod made it posible to get it so sharp at night :)

"If I were a sailboat" - tall ship "Statsraad Lehmkuhl", at dock in Bergen harbour whilst not raining for a minute :) Second shot with Iphone 4, couldn't fit it all in...but still hope it gives a sence of a romantic period (although it was probably mostly hard times :))
Wish I could've seen and shot it with all 22 sails up...
Still waiting your cherry blossom pictures...😝😝

Wonderfull Kenny!))
Majestic. You can smell the salt air.
ahoy!!!
@elenafabry Thanks Alena!
@tonyecker That's a great feedback...I think so too. If ever venturing to Norway, then Bergen is one of the places to go. A gateway to many of the magnificent fjords and a gem in itself (esp according to the citizens themselves). I have a few other shots from my short trip that I hope come good.
@ronvaliente sailor! The Philipines are a great seafarer nation too I belive :)
Beautiful pov-shot - brilliant 😱💜💜
@whitesharkmoon Thanks, I am happy with this one. Not so usual with my old Iphone :)
