 Venice has been described as the most romantic city in the world. How fitting then that I take my wife for a surprise visit to mark our Silver Wedding Anniversary? We went for a couple of days as tourists, plain and simple, to see and experience Venice. This was not a photographic trip, but how could I leave a camera at home when visiting Venice? Of course I took lots of pictures, many to capture memories of a great weekend visit, but there are a few others that really please me and I think say something about Venice. I could have spent many more days here to concentrate on seeing more and taking more pictures, but that will have to wait for our next trip...

To photograph Norway's landscape presents a very different set of challenges to those I am familiar with. It's a challenge I relish but do not yet feel I have made much headway and I hope to be able to spend a lot more time trying in the years ahead. There is no end of amazing subject matter, so the challenge here is making a decision about what next to see and photograph in a way that is different to snapshots or tourist brochure style images. Finding the right light and presenting a sense of scale are, to me, the biggest challenges. This essay is intended to illustrate these and show some of the attempts I have made to convey my view of Norway.
