A slightly modified version of the image-meme seen floating around LJ lately. Apparently I cannot resist a meme that focuses on pictures.

1. Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive

Hee. Sadly that church was lost somewhere in the mess that is my harddisk.

The car picture is a stretch of road called the Atlantic Road, about three to four hours from where I live. I once drove across it in a winterstorm and have loved it ever since.

The Norwegian stormtroopers are from the national day (17th of May), and I just loved the combo of people in folk costumes, Norwegian flags, mountains and Darth Vader. Its the type of surreal imagery that I can't get enough of.

Depends on who you ask. ;) (and we're in an election year, so I am sure that if you did ask, you would get quite a lot of interesting answers)

But in general I'd say that Norwegians are just as nerdy as other people.

I think the one of the road is my favourite.

The road is gorgeous, and quite intimidating. Also I've developed a fondness for sepia coloured photos lately. Not sure why, but they appeal to my sentimental side.

I love the first one! What is it from?

And I know, I've been busier than EVER. Whyyyyyy.

The first one is a troll, drawn by the eminent Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen. Ages ago I did some posts on him here and here. I dodn't think its a specific troll as such, but more the generic, creepy troll that lives in the woods - or in this case is the woods.

I've been busier than EVER. Whyyyyyy

EXACTLY! Summer is supposed to be this time of relaxation. Its practically the definition of summer - and yet I keep working my ass of. There should be some sort of refund system. "This summer didn't perform as requested, and I also think the important weather device is dented, because it seems perpetually stuck on "Extreme!". Can I get my money back please?"

Those Lego ads were so delightful. :)

As a Lego lover of old I felt they captured something essential there. I also love adds that get the message across with just three colours and a minimalist composition. Well done!
