One month in the USA

Douglas and Claartje both went to the US. After Douglas took part in a field course in Utah, Claartje came to Denver for a seventeen days holiday in the USA. After renting a car and buying at tent in Denver we set out visiting several beautiful national and state parks along the way. Among these parks were Rocky mountains National park, NM Colorado national Monument (NM), Arches NM, Escalante Grand Stair Case, Capitol reef,  Zion and Bryce Canyon. We stayed two nights at the Circus Circus hotel and one night at the MGM grand in Las Vegas and spent the days and nights walking the strip and seeing Santana play his magic on a guitar and a great performance of Cirque du Soleil. Done with Vegas we then went on to Hoover Dam, Snow canyon, Grand canyon North Rim, we visited the cave dwellings at Mesa Verde and traveled through mining and Navajo country, up Black Canyon back to Denver. After 28 days in the US Douglas flew back to 'Home sweet Harstad' as Claartje continued for a 7-days geological field course. toped off with a night in New York.  America is amazing!

Weddingpictures in the snow

Two days after the Norwegian wedding party Claartje and Douglas got dressed up again for a majestic photo shoot in the snow in Harstad. The photographer was Rudie van der Meer and he made really great pictures! We are very very pleased with the results! Dank je wel Rudie!
