Winterton

Winterton

Just a few photos we took last week at Winterton beach… 

We’re really enjoying our Christmas holidays, and the weather has been nice (but cold!). I’ve got more photos to share, but I haven’t had time to edit them. We’re leaving for Wales tomorrow, where we won’t have internet – so no updates for a while… I’ll try upload more photos when we’re back next weekend. Happy 2009 to everyone!!!

Yesterday I picked up Paul from Stansted Airport early in the morning – how about that for a birthday present? 🙂 We spent a wonderful day in Norwich, and went for dinner at our favourite place: The Belgian Monk. They serve great Belgian food, and often serve it in a very creative way… 

We’re spending a few days in Norwich/Norfolk before going to Paul’s parents for Christmas. We both like Norwich a lot, and even though I am excited about moving to Norway (and very glad that all the travelling is finally over) – I am going to miss Norwich! We’re planning to visit a few places on the coast in the coming days, so hopefully more photos soon 🙂

New lens

Just a quick post to show some photos taken yesterday with my new lens. The weather wasn’t great, but it was nice to try out the lens – I am very happy with it! 

For those interested, I bought a Canon 24-105mm f4 lens (with an image stabilizer). It took me a very long time to decide which lens to replace my old 28-135mm lens with (it broke down last April), but I am really happy with this lens! The other lens I have is a Sigma 15-30mm which I really like, but wide angle only is a bit limiting. I like taking photos like the ones above… and especially since I am going to Mexico in February, I wouldn’t want to miss out on those kind of photos!

Something completely different: while sorting some photos on my computer, I found this panorama I took in March. I never stitched the images together! Taken from the top of the cable car, overlooking Tromsø island on a beautiful sunny day…

Alright, back to work for me… I had to make a list of things to do this week. Even though I don’t have much stuff left here in Norwich, there is still a lot to think about now that I am really leaving. So I’ll be running around a lot, and probably will not update my blog until next week or so. I’ll try to post before, but if not: Merry Christmas to everyone!!
