There he is:

 

Fishing? Taking a bath? Or just out for a stroll?

Ready. Aim.

Snow-rain all day.

The worst kind of weather.

Handball night.

The same routine over and over and over. Throw the ball, shift position, receive the ball, shift position, throw the ball...

Asian cuisine today.

In bright contrast to the Norwegian winter.
