Nummer två var min favorit!!! Men som äkta svensk måste jag tillägga att ALLA var fina :-D Sheba hälsar och tackar för komplimangen! Hon säger att finns tillgänglig som skywatch presentatör för vem som. Allt som behövs är en rörligt objekt att stirra på! :-D
Well hello there, my friend. It has been much too long. Your photos are like a breath of fresh air. How delightful to see such beautiful photos. Such crisp and clear details. The moon is amazing... it's as if I'm looking through the telescope right this moment! Very nicely done! You are very good indeed. How I missed seeing your pictures...
Have a good weekend and I will be back to see all the other beautiful work you have done here!
Miten ihmeessä otit tuon kuukuvan? Jokin suurennussysteemi tietty siinä kamerassa : ) täällä sellainen ihminen joka ei ymmärrä kameroista mitään, mutta mahtavia kuviasi ihailen oikein sujuvasti!
I love the way you have shown so many moods of the sky!! The shot of the moon is my favourite, though! I love the way you can see the features of the moon, and the way it is a partial moon, rather than a full moon!

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.

Oh what dramatic pictures! Last year I was camping at Inari in May and the lake was still frozen!
Den månen tok du bra!!! Jeg prøvde meg på mandag på nymånen, men måtte nøye meg med en Natrium-lampe.
Love all these photos, thanks so much for sharing these with us.
Have a great weekend!

Just perfect, ant this is the most perfect picture i have seen of the moon!!
Nice weekend from Anne in Norway.
You have captured a lovely collection of skies, all of which have an added bit of mystery to them, I think.
The man in the moon has a Sun Dog. Who knew?
Love these frozen moments... a grim beauty here. Forbidding, but wondrous!
Excellent series.
These are all so impressive but I do like a sharp moon.
Her var det mye flott! Det første er jo veldig spesielt, aldri sett noe liknende!
Lyset i nr. 2 er utrolig vakkert! Det er vel i slike stunder vi nordboere virkelig elsker vinteren - nydelig fanget!
Og hvordan i søren har du fått til den månen så klar?
Flott og variert bilde serie!
All of these skywatch pictures are absolutely great. I especially like your moon.
Wonderful shot of the moon! and what a beautiful puppy on your sidebar!
Wow! Outstanding, all of them!
Same sky, but different in each - you've captured the beauty and the variety of what we love.
You've got quite a wonderful series here. That last shot of the moon is perfect
hi.
My favourite is number one from all these fine photos. Why? Well, after working all my life among airplanes, I like also helicopters.
Nice shot!
Onpa ihania kuvia! Suomalainen kevättalven taivas moninaisuudessaan. Komea kuu.
The second shot is lovely, the Sun Dog is superb and the moon is a great shot too.
Hienoja kuvia hienoista taivaista - olet mahdottoman hyvä kuvaaja!
Stunning skies!

How delightful to see such beautiful photos.
Such crisp and clear details. The moon is amazing... it's as if I'm looking through the telescope right this moment!
Very nicely done!
You are very good indeed.
How I missed seeing your pictures...

Wow, I love them all, esp. the one with the heli. Just great skywatch entries.
I love the way you have shown so many moods of the sky!! The shot of the moon is my favourite, though! I love the way you can see the features of the moon, and the way it is a partial moon, rather than a full moon!
