Like many of the pictures in this advent calendar, these were taken in Bergen a couple of years ago. The city best known for its rainy weather had a sudden snow fall one day and I grabbed my old Canon A1 and a course-grained black&white film and shot the entire roll during the snow fall and the following day. Then, promptly forgot about the whole thing for a few months, until the finished roll popped up in a drawer when I moved back home for the summer. :) I had no idea what it was... Fortunately I decided to develop and copy the pictures from the whole roll and it was like experiencing the whole two days over again!-
I'm addicted to snow flakes and have so many varieties of them! Here is one of the first dies I bought - it needs something in the center though, to cover up all the layers. And when I saw the MS Stars border punch I had no choice but to have it. ;)-
Bergen is a city with lots of long and short narrow stairs, climbing the steep hills surrounding the city centre. They wind around trees and house corners and most of them are actually a part of the public street system although they often feel like little private structures. This is one of the longer ones - near the top it's so narrow you can stretch out your arms and almost touch the houses on both sides! As you can see, I experimented a lot with longer exposure times that day. I like the contrast of the whimsical blurry photos of this quirky staircase agaist the clean sharp layout...-
