Den vrien likte jeg! Teksten på bildene altså! Og bildene også. Ikke alltid lett å ta bilder rett på solen, men det der ble jo stilig! Og månen din er så mystisk, der den såvidt titter frem fra treet. Liker den mørke stemningen i bildet. Trolsk!
Hi and thanks all. Seems the moon got the majority of votes this week. It just goes to show that being bright and sparkling is not always as popular as being moody and mysterious :)

Valkyrien of Norway made me a hot blogger by this award
Thankyou dear friend. I must take care not to burn my fingers while writing :)
Oh please do not think I gave myself an award, even if I did start this one. There is a limit to my vanity. No, it was dear Pacey from Today's Blah that wanted to give this same award back to me as what I gave to her. So I made it as well as received it.
At leats that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's cloudy here today. Did you put the sun back?
Both of these pictures are beautiful, but I especially like the picture of the moon.

I did George. Perhaps it is a bit desorientated from the dip down to the grass roots. Sorry :)
Tack Valkyrien. Månbilden tycker jag själv om också.

Du har plassert måned der den høre hjemme - ikke i sentrum.
Og for et liv det ble i den skogen av solen!
Excellent pics, the first one is my favourite.

My post is at Carletta’s Captures.
Fine bilder, begge to.
Det første er veldig originalt.
Flott plassering av månen på det andre bildet.
Bra! :)
Gorgeous!! Love them both.
Herlige bilder :o) Månen er flott der oppe ja, like mystikken du har i bilde to veldig godt. Ha en fin helg! :)
I love the sunburst through the trees for its brilliance, but the moon shot has such a wonderful mood to it! Well done!
Wow, nice placement of the sun between those trees...hope it won't just stay there forever.. :)
So you do have magical powers! Amazing!
It looks like the moon is crying....nice shot! Keep on shooting.
