This is the one of many monuments representing Bulgarian gratitude to the Russians - who helped them break free from the Turks. It's a beautiful place, and if you go there you have to visit the flying saucer the communists built on a mountaintop nearby, celebrating the birth of the Bulgarian communist party, and proving once and for all that communism is in fact an alien invention, and therefore useless when it comes to motivating humans to do good things. Sad, but true, and now proven beyond doubt.

Police state! I've been jumping around the world quite a lot, but this is the first time the police felt me jumping and having a picture taken as a threat to the state, public safety or whatever. Two pictures taken and this angry little man with the typical big hat comes running, waving his finger. He scared my two friends quite a bit - as they know more about Russia than me. But we came back later and took this picture anyway. Kudos to Andreas for doing it anyway.

Following Fast Search and Transfer all around the world to their conference in San Diego in february was a quite good idea. Sunny!

My first trip to the west coast in many years had to be celebrated by jumping over the city.

Svein-Thore did a great job with the camera.

Costa Brava, north of Barcelona, is a really beautiful rugged coast line. Renting a car and stopping in Tossa del Mar was a really good idea. The coast is filled with small villages wherever it's not too steep to get to the water, but it's by no means crowded in february. This small city has roots back to the roman period, and the spectacular fortification, Vila Vella, dates back to the 12. th century. The forified hill is very beautiful.

Tanja took the picture.

I first saw la Sagrada Familia in 1993, and for each of my three visits since then I've seen great progress in the construction. That makes me really happy, and I hope I get to see it finished before I go. There is no guarantee that I will, because construction has been going on since 1883, and from what I've seen of the drawings, it's only half finished.

They seem to have picked up speed though, and the changes to the interior since 1993 is amazing. Back then the whole building was mainly two facades and a crypt. The main 170m high tower is still far off though. Thanks to the café La Sagrada Familia and Tanja for helping me get this jump right.

This is not my best jump, but it is one of the hardest earned (save for mt. Kili.).

I was running late, the LA traffic was slow, and I didn't really know where the bloody sign was. I ended up in some park, got directions up to some crater, ran the whole way, tasting blood, stumbeled up a very steep hill on pure adrenaline... and nearly cried when I discovered I was the only one there... there was no alternaive to using the self timer... that is not an easy task when you want to catch yourself in mid air... this is the only half decent shot. Should have gotten closer to the sign, but I'm still proud of it!

Nearly killed myself on the way down, loose rocks falling everywhere. Two girls helped me with two more shots and I was off to the airport, and a six hours delay... thanks KLM :-)

This is the old communist headquarter in Sofia, Bulgaria. New rulers have moved in, but the architechture from the Communist era remains.... it begged for a jump.

Finally we got to visit Rome, and among all the great sites in this wonderfull city, it had to be The Colosseum.

The almost 2000 year old building is 48 metres high, but part of the outer wall has been looted for building materials, not by invaders but by Romans themselves. Most of the marble and steel is gone along with tons of brick.

When in Rome, make sure to visit Trastevere, the Capuchini munks (who decoratet a tomb with the bones of 4.000 of their brothers), and the marvelous Sistine Chapel, decorated by Michelangelo.

There was no other way, comming out of the church, we had to jump. All the photographers demanded it (Per Kristian shot this one).

So I jumped, and my beautiful Bulgarian princess floated up in the air after me.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the wedding on the island Langøy a fantastic day, and night!

Have a look at my wife's homepage, at www.bulgarsk.no

Just came back from our honeymoon in Egypt. Snorkeling in january and then going home to go snowboarding is nice! We were very impressed with a lot of things in this country, and it was very hard to decide whether to jump over the Sphinx or one of the pyramids... as you can see, I ended up not choosing. Tanja timed this very well!

Karnak and the Valley of Kings was also very impressive, but not quite as good for jumpimg.

I know some old Parisians pride themselves with never having been to the Eiffel Tower. Their loss!

I do envy them that one restaurant we ate at in Marais though. Lovely city!

Stockholm is a very beautiful city, but it's kind of hard to find the one place that would be the natural place to jump. I don't much like the royal castle and the Vasa-ship is indoors... if anyone has a suggestion, please feel free to drop me a line :-) I'll be back!

I ended up jumping over parts of the city and the thing that really makes Stockholm beautiful, the water. There's water everywhere.

What a day! Celebrating with a jump over Carl Johan, Oslos main street, was the natural thing to do, really!

Gudbrand took this picture, pretty impessive, considering his camera takes two seconds to fire a shot.

What the ....? Was my first reaction, when I realised my bachelor party was headed for an airfield where I was supposed to jump, out of an airoplane. I should have seen it comming, considering my habit of jumping... Having been waken up at 7.00 I was sleepy, confused and scared shitless, then after a minute or two I'd accepted my fate and had to admit this was the natural unnatural thing to do.

Turns out though, sky divers don't particularly like having raindrops hit them at some 200 km/h, so bad weather resulted in a delay. We had little time to wait, so it will have to be resceduled for some later weekend.

In case anyone noticed, yes, I got married in january but this time it's in a church and we've planned a big party, not a small group like in january.

It took about 100 visits to London before I finally got around to taking this photo. Annelene took the picture. She's posted some rally nice photos at http://kaja.no/annelene/

Picnic in Saint James Park and a short flight over Big Ben a lovely day in March is highly recommendable.

Ok, it had to be Manhattan Skyline. A Dutch girl took the picture. My levitation skills were suffering a bit from jet lag, and the picture is not quite i focus, but... IT'S NEW YORK!

I spent the unofficial part of my stay in a hotel room where all surfaces were covered with weird figures... not a place to have a hangover! I spent my evenings in a bar full of really nice Albanians anyway...

This is an insult! Barcelona is one of the worlds most beautiful cities, home of famous architects like Gaudí and his endless project La Sagrada familia, and some of the most stylish contemporary architecture. Still, it didn't feel wrong to choose to jump over El Corte Inglés on Plaza Catalunya, the biggest shopping mall in the city center.

We probably should have taken this picture that night we somehow ended up in the top of the towers of La Sagrada Familia around midnight, each with a bottle of champagne in our hands, but I guess we concentrated on the champagne.

Galdhøpiggen, the highest mountain in Norway, where Snowboarders go in the summer...
