Los Angeles freelance science writer and editor
Everywhere we are in remote control mode. TV offers hundreds of channels which we gladly click through until we reach the end only to start over again. On the internet, we move from one story to the next before completing the first, and we are told to write only a few sentences to a paragraph... Continue Reading →
On my walk home tonight which conveniently was across the beach, I started taking photos like this: Dramatic skies but in a Norwegian winter day dramatic sky: And then it turned into an Indonesian sky: Or maybe the opposite of the Northern Lights: but in fact it was a Los Angeles sky!
Ok, I am stuck on cloud formations over the beach. These struck me last evening because the clouds were so gray and so white next to each other. No storm came though.

I don't know why, but I am completely obsessed with the colors of the sky rather than the actual sunset itself. I love these colors, and as humans apparently we are only able see a fraction of the spectrum emitted by the sun.
I officially sold an underwater photo print. Of course it is one of my favorites-a bleached anemone with the resident anemone fish from Komodo, Indonesia 2013. Unbelievable because I am really a scientist, not an artist by training. Although it has been argued that I am not the artist-it is of course nature "who" is... Continue Reading →
The best sunsets are where there is clean air. Among other things (like spectacular marine life) you can find clean air in Raja Ampat which means the four kings in Indonesian. Missing diving and missing Indonesia...
