A taste of summer

I guess global warming decided that 32* Celsius and a endless blue sky was something I deserved after my crazy revision time in Edinburgh, and served Norway with some amazing weather. I feel like a new person after my little trip home to Norway, where I’ve been fed, slept in my incredible soft bed and spent the days doing nothing work related at all, just relaxing and taking photos and spending time with my family. Going back to Edinburgh tonight, and will stay there for almost a month now! Hoping to get time for plenty of photographing! 
April summed up in small squares
I didn’t have time to take a lot of photos with my camera in April, since I spent almost every day at the library, but I did get a new phone and took a bunch of photos with that one! If you’d like to follow me on Instagram, click here or search for marie_viking!

So long since last time! I have been incredibly busy with all my exams, and the last month’s been a non stop revision month where I’ve literally spent 14 hours at the library, and only been home to sleep and shower. The only break I had was my trip to London to see Kaizers Orchestra, something I’ve been looking forward to since I bought the tickets in December!
Feels like such a long time ago already, but it was an amazing trip, and I had a great time with great friends! Even got to meet some of the band members of Kaizers Orchestra, which explains my super stoked happy face on the last picture, haha. I’m such a kid.
I’m currently back in Norway for a little break before going back to Edinburgh til mid June. So happy to be done with my exams, I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the amazing weather Edinburgh got to offer. Can promise more posts from now on (:

Look at the unicorns! Actually Scotland’s national animal, no joke.

As part of my “go out and take pictures once a week”-plan, this Saturday was spent walking around in Edinburgh in the sunny (but windy!) weather. Met a woman I’ve been hoping to meet since I moved here, Elaine Davidson, and got a few photos with her! She was really nice, and so cheerful. So happy to finally have seen her in real life!
Wandered around for a bit before ending up visiting Edinburgh Castle. One thing I love about this city is how there’s treasures everywhere! Beautiful churches on almost every corner, old buildings with the most amazing details, and so many historical places to visit. Also found out that Scotland’s national animal is a unicorn, which is just hilarious! Wish Norway had something more exciting than an elk…like…Spongebob Squarepants or something! That would have been so cool ~dream~.
Got a new phone now, Samsung galaxy SIII, so some of the photos were taken with the phone camera, since the lighting inside many of the buildings at the castle was rather dark, making it impossible for my Nikon lens to get enough light. Don’t think they turned out to bad either.
My days consist of staying at the library reading for my exams, going home late and then going to bed. All my flat mates are at home, so it’s soooo quiet here. Miss having someone to tell me to do the dishes, haha. It’s gonna be so nice to have them back at the end of the week, the flat feels so incomplete without them.
Oh! Also got my old Nikon D50 now, which my flat mate Ellie will be borrowing, so now I’ll get a photo buddy! Yay! Hopefully that will mean more photos and more activity on the blog.

Been spending my days at the library, so not much photos so far this week! But I’m planning a little adventure this weekend, hopefully the weather will be splendid! Got a new lens for my camera as well, so planning to give it a test run

The last photos from our trip to Dublin!
Even though it was freezing and not the best weather, it was still a really nice trip! I would probably recommend people that want to travel to Dublin to do so in the summer months, especially if you are like me and would like to photograph your visit. Oh, and be careful when dancing in the pubs/clubs so you don’t twist your foot and have to walk around with a black/purple foot for the rest of your stay.
Can definitely recommend The Abigail’s Hostel for people who want a cheap but nice place to stay! It was really close to all the pubs, and nice and clean.
This was such a nice trip, hoping to travel a lot more that I’ve done this semester. It’s good for body and mind to get away from “home” once in a while and get some new, fresh inputs.
