Hello – I am Tor Hammerstad, from the small town Hønefoss in Norway. In the film and darkroom age I was a photographer for a small newspaper. Now I have a typical office job. But my camera bag still hangs on my shoulder and is with me everywhere. My images often show nature or my cat, Louis – but I want to thank for this opportunity to post photos on @burndiary the coming week by moving a little outside my comfort zone. I’m afraid I start in a typical Norwegian manner – by showing some pretty scenery. This picture is from a beach called Røsholmstranda – which was unusually warm today. Six degrees Celsius is very warm for a January day in Norway. It was comfortable, yet it reminds me of climate change – and that this fine day perhaps was due to global warming. @f2hammers for @burndiary
