Bømlo and Bergen: check

Tour now: Oslo, Next: Stockholm
The one who invented Norway did not like traveling. What other reason is there to destroy any quick driving with mountains, fjords and islands? On top of that, throw some rain and early darkness, and you have the west coast in Norway in a nutshell.

Or maybe go viking gods just want me to get my IFR pilot license so I can fly there, even in that weather. Stavanger-Bergen in the bus: 4,5 hours. With the plane: 30 min.

But I finally made it out to Bømlo and make real of Birgitta's invitation. It is not everyday you are on historic ground with a goat farmer. She is a good cook as well.  :-)

I think you get it—it was a good stay!

I would have loved to take a tour on the island but I had to work. It is a lot of things to do before launch and during daytime I am booked with calling ad agencies trying to find job for our Talents.

The shoot was challenging. To rainy to be outside and no location close, so we had to stick to the house. But the goal for the shoot was to show different side of Birgitta, making her portfolio wider.

But on my way to Bergen I got some peaks of the island.



But soon it was dark as all my other legs. "Is that a mountain? Where's the road?"
After 4 bloody hours, thanks to ferries and funky roads I was in Bergen. Ready to shoot Tale with help from her friend Karoline.
But according to their fridge they where ready for something else. :-)
Once again, due to lack of time, darkness and rain, we tried get some portfolio shots in her apartment. We got two I guess and Karoline is rather talented not only in partying, but making chicken salad as well. Best one I had for years actually!





Then it was time (01:00) to head towards Oslo. I got to Voss and then I went back in the bus and went to bed. So today, no time for calls but a super-sweet drive in the mountains.
And here are the pictures!
I will be interesting to see if they work.
