Bye bye, Norway

  I am leaving my safe, little home in Norway in only four days, travelling all the way to Indonesia for a month. I’ll be working as a volunteer research assistant, handling wild animals in both terrestrial and marine sites, diving in some of the worlds most species rich waters with the most amazing coral reefs and getting my diving certificate. It all seems…

Dyreparken i Kristiansand – Norwegian zoo in Kristiansand

  Summer means our yearly visit to the Norwegian Zoo in Kristiansand, with my two dear friends Camilla and Elisabeth! We always try to go before the busiest summer months start, simply because it can be so stressful to walk around and look at the animals when there’s literately thousands of people trying to do the same. Just like last year, we picked a perfect…

Lily of the valley

          Ever since I was a little girl, a spring time tradition has been to pick a huge bouquet of Lily of the Valley and give to my grandmother (and usually also one for mum!). After she passed away, the tradition was still kept alive, and every year me and my dad go out together and pick the biggest bouquet possible and…

Oh, please tell me, how deep might these seas be

                  Me, my dad and my sister went on our first boat ride for the summer a couple of days ago, and I actually remembered to bring my camera with me! It’s so nice being back home and breathe in the fresh salt water air again, I wasn’t aware of how much I actually missed these…

Back home in Norway!

            I’ve been home for almost a week now and the weather’s been sun sun and more sun ever since I got back. So incredible nice to be  home with my family and just relax and do whatever I want without stressing about exams. I’ve been really busy since I got back, my days have been filled with things…

There are echoes lost in the garden, is anybody listening?

      Model: Sòl Geirsdòttir Photo/edit: Marie Danielsen (me) Some more photos from the shoot I had with Sunniva (Sòl) last summer, in context with her band, Vǫluspá,  releasing their first album. We wanted to experiment with different backgrounds and lighting to see how we could create a different mood with the same outfit. I quite like the forest background, it works well with the viking-theme…

Awake

          Just some photos from my weekend in Norway, when I went to Aas Univeristy to surprise my best friend, Elisabeth on her birthday! Norway was a bit colder than Scotland, and here spring was just starting with beautiful crocuses and green patches everywhere. Perfect for a walk with the camera. Only got one month left of 2nd semester of…

In the space between the heavens

    Model: Sól Geirsdóttir               (http://www.thevikingqueen.com/) Photo/Edit: Marie Danielsen Finally! Here’s some of the photos I took of Sunniva last summer, in context with her band, Vǫluspá,  releasing their first album. Check out their songs here or on Facebook here . I love how the colours in the background compliment the feathers she’s wearing, and I’m quite happy with the way…

Such is the passage of time, too fast to fold

  Been back in Edinburgh for a week now, time flies by so fast! Already got so much work to do, so this semester will be a stressful one, I fear. Finally doing some more animal related courses, though, so it’s very interesting! ************************ Passed 500 followers during Christmas. Makes me happy that more and more people take interest in my photos. Thanks everyone…

| | | | | | | | | | |  Happy New year everyone! Still no snow here in Norway, only rain, rain and rain (much like Edinburgh!). My dad will be back from the North Sea in a couple of days, which means there will be more time to go hiking and take photos 🙂 Can’t wait!
