a Norse View & Scandinavian.fitness. Biologiska mångfaldens dag 2019, Höga Kusten, Sverige.
Humlesafari, fladdermuslyssning, fjärilsbingo, krypletning och fågelvandring – den 22 maj uppmärksammas den internationella FN-dagen Biologiska mångfaldens dag med en mängd olika evenemang runt om i Sverige.
Den årligen återkommande bmf dagen är numera en av Sveriges största naturhögtider och 2019 arrangerar naturorganisationer, kommuner, skolor, myndigheter,företag och privatpersoner över 200 aktiviteter runt om i landet, från Kiruna i norr till Ystad i söder. Det görs både för att visa upp vår artrika natur och för att uppmärksamma en av vår tids stora ödesfrågor – den oroväckande snabba förlusten av biologisk mångfald.
I Höga Kusten arrangerar Mike från a Norse View och Scandinavian.fitness en dagstur ut i naturen där vi blandar naturfoto i en vacker insjömiljö och faktabaserat prat om kost, träning och hälsa.
We surf across a sea of gravitational waves. contemporary life & science is our own art
Planet Earth. Our bluish marble of brown and green.
Apex species. Planet Earth is inhabited by a rapidly evolving and diverse humanoid species which as this planet's current primary apex predator is actually made up by a wide range of multiple hominid species mutually forming it's diverse genetic origin and lineage.
Mutant name. Contemporary humans.
Planetary trajectory, unknown.
The entire planet, solar system and milky way galaxy dart and weave, jump and spin all over the place inside the known universe. It might feel as if it is this solid zen-like teacup of calmness, but in reality, it is constantly changing shape and form, mass, speed, and trajectory.
The speed of planetary travel can be measured as millions of kilometer per hour. ( Not millions actually, just 828,000 kilometers per hour to be exact )
The Essence of Creativity, Hides Inside our Minds The Science of a Healthy Life
The Cerebellum inside our individual selfs will dance its very best only to its own bidding.
Hidden away, inside and behind the curtain of what we consider our conscious thoughts, our "little brain" powers on with magnificent poise.
The small, behind the scene part of what we think of as our brain, is despite its small size
(The Cerebellum makes up about 10% of homo sapiens total brain volume) commandeering the majority of our brains neurons.
Autumn Serenade and my October Hike The calming beauty of a fit and healthy Life
Waking up to a freshly minted Autumn day, a slight touch of frost on the windows and a beautiful sun painting the auburn colored
landscape that is waiting. Right there on the other side of the sheets of glass that bends light and offers a surface for water and air,
warmth and cold to mix and match and play catch with each other.
Transforming the same entity from juxtaposing but equally natural and connected states.
A quick and nourishing breakfast, consisting of black coffee, Greek yogurt, some whole grains, an apple or two, a banana,
water and a couple of fresh tomatoes and some protein powder mixed with the yogurt and whole grains. My camera is already fully charged,
lenses are waiting in the backpack and a big bottle of fresh tap water.
A slice of Big Dog Chronicles Arts & Culture in the Anthropocene
At times in life, there comes a moment when all we really need is to look at something that comes loaded with the inherent power of captivating
our gaze and attention.
And as such, today I turn you over to the 'Great Dane Chronicles' project by visual artist Andy Seliverstoff. Make sure to also head on over
to the project website and perhaps even order your own printed book.
But before you do, enjoy a moment with these enchanting big dogs and the magic we can find in their natural connection with a bunch of little people.
Arctic Sunrise - Year 4.5 Billion a black and white thunderstorm
The work and art is all mother nature and Mike Olbinski´s doing so I will let his own word speak, enjoy the watch.
"For quite a few years now I've been wanting to do something different with my time-lapse films. I love color. Storms are full of color. The blues, the greens, the warm oranges and reds at sunset. The colors are sometimes what make a simple storm into something extra special.
But black and white speaks to my soul. I love it. There is something when you remove the color that lets you truly see the textures, movement and emotion of a storm."
Arctic Sunrise - Year 4.5 Billion the birth of one more year
In front of me. The vastness of the arctic spreads it's wings over billabong and fields. Snowy valleys and frost clad mountains. It is all illuminated and painted by the lingering nightly shadows. Dressed up to play in the cold and vibrant arctic scenery. Fluffy white and deep ocean blue are the colors that mix so well with the pale red and yellow of the rising winters sun.
The scene that unfolds before my eyes this morning was given even more depth by the plume of misty winters fog that effortlessly reached out into the sky to greet the warming blanket of the winter sun.
year 5 in the 697 Olympic and our winter solstice life amongst flowers.
Today we witnessed the sun at its lowest flying point of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, a glorious day called winter solstice. It is a juxtaposing day of newborn light and hope as well as the darkest day of the year with the shortest amount of daylight to be seen and felt. Well, in some places there is, of course, no daylight at all. Here in the Arctic, in the northern winter realms, the thing we call the polar night is in full swing this time of the year and the sun will not reappear in a real and proper way until 2017 have properly taken hold.

Everything living continually evolves even the blanket of life we call the universe
Does it boggle your mind that over 90% of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be noticed by our keen human eyes?. Even so, there they are, feeding ancient light and photons to our planets every oldest living thing, unknown and unnoticed by us.
Up there, in the sky, from far outside the reach of Planet Earth, they are the light that paints our day. Light that has traveled from distant clusters of stars through dark and matter for millions and in some cases, even, billions of years towards our magnetic field that shelters life down here, photons that caress and bounce their way through the atmosphere, clouds, and water.
October 10, morning by the lake Our rowing boat and the white-tailed eagle
As life progress across the expanding space that is time and the growing universe, it touches each and every one of us. Changing us from the inside out, simultaneously and incrementally steering a continual change in both the largest and smallest of ways. This gradual transformation caused by life and your own actual needs and healthy choices, is as wonderful as it is taken for granted, but in truly rare everyday life moments, as life reach out to touch you as you cast yourself out to enjoy the untamed and never ending torrent that is life, something remarkable sometimes happens and in those moments you and life find yourself mixing and merging to change the wild waters of the entire universe through that very same unilateral and symbiotic touch.
Reducing cancer risk by keeping fit and active Your Fitness Tribe
Researchers recently found that a high level of cardiorespiratory activity was linked to a much lower risk of lung and colon cancer in middle-aged, and older men. Unrelated of age, both men, and females diagnosed with cancer also lowered their risk of dying if they maintained or started to do a high(er) level of fitness.
Mutual symbiosis Wild animals and Homo Sapiens The Science of a healthy life
Once, we hunted with wild wolves. Not from domestication or forced cooperation. But instead, humans and equally wild wolves formed a natural and mutually beneficial symbiosis between two predatory species. Just as how we and wolves, once hunted together with wild ravens in the cold north. Fast forward to 2016, and this natural evolution that at times have allowed humans to work together with wild animals have given us another wonderful cross species partnership.
This time, the greater honeyguide bird species and human honey hunters in northern Mozambique, Africa are the ones that work in tandem to conquer the sweet treasures of African bees. And unlike so many other animal/people relations, this is a real partnership benefitting both species equally much and initiated by the birds as often as it is by the human honey hunters.
Video Review, Nikon D500 The Science & Art of photography
In short: This is a wonderful video review of the newly released Nikon D500 dslr. Comprehensive, to the point and made with both passion and knowledge. It is not about test charts but about all the things that actually matter for a real photographer out in the field doing real work ( or art ). The spoiler verdict is that the Nikon D500 ends up being more or less called Nikons best wildlife camera to date, not perfect but the best one yet unless you absolutely do need the small but real ISO advantage of the Nikon D4 and D5.
One minute video taking a look at the new Nikon D500 and how it holds up as the presumably class leading Dx camera. In short: Great Af, Body build, Iso, Image quality, burst performance and Dr.
Arctic Sunrise - Year 4.5 Billion Life is your art
a Norse View creative director, author and photographer, Mike Koontz. A lover of life´s inherent beauty found in every aspect of nature and every day life. The progressive science and wonders of our world and universe, it´s perfectly flawed people and animals alike and the way it all evolve. I marvel at the technological advances that seemingly happens at a continually increasing pace. And I find great joy and peace of mind in the daily grind and science of keeping fit, healthy and active, enjoying the cold outdoors at winter as much as killing it hard, all year round in the gym. Eating healthy food and living a sustainable life while enjoying the pleasures and adventures of all the big and small wonders that is our life in the Anthropocene.
I write fictional books and poetry as well as articles about the factual parts of life, including my daily life and interest in health and fitness, equality, sustainability, science, nature and wildlife. And my Nordic creative photography is of course an ever present and essential part of my creative expression in everything I publish.
This is a short little article blurb, and photo, from beautiful days spent enjoying the summer of 2014, showcasing a Scandinavian Ant species caring for their little aphid milk cows.
To Dine and Kiss like the seasons Making love like the leaf kiss the wind The Science & joy of a healthy life
Nothing fancy to say at all with this article. Instead we bid you a wonderful Autumn, and is this not truly the season to trump when it comes to all things beautiful. Winters are grand, spring is chirping with life, summer sweeps us off our feets and creates lustful days, but Autumn, autumn have such a painterly beauty to it that no other season quite can muster the same solemn beauty. So, this is nothing more than a few simple words and some of my photos to send you off into this years most delicious and sensuous season. To enjoy it and to fully live it.
Yes, Summer came around once again. Despite the changing climate, despite the weirdness of Tony Abbot (whom else then global health enemy number one would celebrate slowing down sustainable electricity production).
A genuine adventurer story from Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle that tells the tale of alpha male Professor Challenger, as hulking fit and strong as clever and smart. Yet for all his brilliance and physical capacity, he is every bit as headstrong and short tempered too and not one to back down from going all bareknuckled with his adversaries. A classic adventurer every bit the equal of Sherlock, yet entirely his own.
'Little Snow' is based on the original story by The Brothers Grimm
Together the Grimms wrote more than 200 stories under their moniker "Brothers Grimm" and we aim to publish the best ones, either in its original and slightly crude form. Or as enhanced stories that we ourselves have rewritten like with this more fleshed out and adult version of "Little Snow".
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, is today considered a classic work depicting life in the Victorian Era. This book was first published in 1813. And it follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet, one of five daughters living in a fictional town near London. It is a book that 200 years after it´s making still remains one of the most beloved fictional novels the world over.

140 million stars centering one massive black hole, the size of 21 million suns combined
Outside of our perfectly manicured garden, wild tigers and other felines roam about in the wild unknown, sometimes you might feel or hear them, invisible but ever present, and at even rarer times, life smiles at you and gift you with the opportunity of their beauty to grace your eyes.
Or so the story would go if left unchecked. But happily enough, we do have editors. Authors might dislike them for their obsessive corrections and never ending feedback on their carefully crafted story as well as their choice of words, or perhaps they secretly love them for their behind the scenes story saving work. The snowy gnomes of the world might, likewise, feel an utmost lack of respect for the clumsy nature of humans wildlife editors - also called conservationists and scientists, as they rummage around in both the countryside and deep forests. as well as continually tanning in the artificial lights of sterile labs and concrete big city jungles.
As 2014 opens as an unwritten book before our very eyes and feets, 2013 has closed it´s chapters.
A look back at 'a Norse View' author and photographer, Mike Koontz´s 2013 from a photographic point of view.
Sometimes the serendipity and chaos of life are worthy of prose, other times it demands clear science and facts. Sometimes the insanity of life writes itself like a dystopian nightmare from the future.
Tales of Winters Realm 2014
Is a short 80+ pages book of sublime photography and poetry that takes us along an adventure of sensual kisses and beautiful moments, stretching across each month of the year, which when combined creates a full year of life´s inherent beauty.
'The departure' Early bird excerpt chapter 1, 2028AD
A Serene, Monday evening spent outdoors together with you. And like the dotted i we all knew, it was in every way there is a perfectly solemn Indian summer day that kept lingering on as if we had all been forever caught in the basking light of the setting sun.
Our departure impatiently growled and towered in the backs of both our mind. One part auspicious and eager to open the doors to this exciting, new, and uncharted chapter waiting for us to unfold and explore it all.
The other part took the shape of a more ominous and hulking silence, waiting to swallow us whole from within the shadows of the corner of this one last evening spent in Earth's familiar hold. It´s scent, of dew and soil. The lasting humidity that played across our skin and senses even as the soothing autumn winds drifted ashore from the turning sea.
Snow Leopard these species will become our failed victims of fashion
A study for the journal, *Conservation Biology* found that 95% of all forage across the vast, Tibetan plateau in Mongolia and Northern India
is now consumed by goats and other livestock owned by farmers.
Leaving only 5% to the regions vast number of wild animals.
Creating a situation, that is best described by one of the researchers with the following words.
"Rather then serving as symbols of success, these species will become victims of fashion"
Winter of 1610 Jamestown, Virginia USA Life in the Anthropocene
We are all of us, nothing but exquisitely unique, but tiny small,biological and ever-changing moments in time, like flowing tears in rain.
So why don't you take a few precious moments to slow down.
View the day around you with eyes and mind wide open, breathe it all in and inhale the calming air. Enjoy that taste of life upon the tip of your tongue and take the uniqueness of this one moment for what it is. Because whatever passes you by right now, it is never ever coming back.

If a photo is a thousand words or more, then there could in truth be an endless stream of emotional responses to every photo ever taken. Doors opening, worlds colliding, emotional responses, memories triggered, feelings left forgotten resurfacing, or new impressions formed.
Perhaps as such, a photograph is not just a frozen moment captured in time. Perhaps it also carries that moment in time within itself, the sensory balance of what we felt, what we feel and see, the memories we create and associate to every little day and moment in the flesh. Perhaps, even in the colors and the tonality, the way the highlights merge with the shadows and darker shades. Perhaps it is a bit like the stars.
One man´s sky is a black velvet upon which blinking stars traverse.
Health is shaped and molded through your daily choices. Do you know the scientific outcome of your daily life?.
Question number 49 in our Scandinavian.fitness School here at 'a Norse View'.
Physical activity & fitness exercise of various levels, intensity, and volume improve many aspects of our human health. Including a highly beneficial effect on musculoskeletal health no matter gender or age.
Other factors include improving our metabolic and cognitive health & functions.
As a result, regular life long fitness.....
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.. Diabetes, and several types of cancer.
Greatly reduced osteoporosis as well as depression and improved volume and capacity of our physical gray matter mass, are other areas of our life long health that benefit substantially from daily physical activity and regular fitness.
But, will intense regular fitness exercise also reduce inflammation throughout our bodies?....
Because if so, that would provide huge health benefits all by itself. Simply put, less inflammation in our bodies reduces heart health risk and the onset of cognitive decline and biological aging amongst other things.
So read on beyond the break and let us take a look at how intense fitness might reduce inflammation too.
Health is shaped and molded through your daily choices. Do you know the scientific outcome of your daily life?.
Question number 48 in Scandinavian.fitness School of Fitness here at 'a Norse View'.
Most of the time our fitness school questions revolve around the scientific impact of your fitness and or food choices.
But every now and then we dip our toes into the wider ecosystem of things that carry with them a huge impact on our individual health, such as air pollution. Because a truly healthy life has to consider all aspects of our lifestyles.
One area of "air pollution" is smoking. Not only do non smokers hurt their health due to others unhealthy smoking habits. But the smokers themselves harm their own health in even greater strides.
So much so that Tobacco smoking is perhaps the biggest single influencer on a human beings mutational burden, usually adding anywhere between 1,000 to 10,000 mutations per cell inside of the human body. In the end, being a major driver of
various cancer forms and
fatally damaged lungs. But, the human body is amazing at recovering from almost all forms of injuries and health issues once we start making healthier choices a regular thing.
And now, a brand new 2020 study is
shining light on just how well a typical smokers damaged lungs will recover once that smoker chooses to stop their unhealthy smoking habits.
So read on beyond the break and let us dig deeper into the health impact of smoking and just how good our human lungs might recover once a person decides to end their self harming habit.
Health is made from your daily choices. Do you know the answer to our question?.
Question number 47 in our School of Fitness.
Interestingly enough we actually uncover new scientific facts about the human body every single day.
Things we thought we knew sometimes become nothing more than the incorrect truth of yesterday. All while we continually prove that life and nature, and biology itself is endlessly progressive and changing.
So for today, I would like to know if we can still make the fact-based claim that the core temperature of the modern-day human body is still 37c on average?...
Or has this well established scientific fact actually changed in the last 100 years?.
Read on beyond the break and dig deeper into our fitness school question before you pony up the right answer.
Fitness is a science driven journey. And so is sustainability.
So let us get it out of the way right away.
Poor food choices remain a leading worldwide cause of mortality and bad health. But, poor food choices doesn't just harm our own health and longevity, bad food choices and the production that is needed to create the lackluster food that so many bases their entire food life on causes huge, unnecessary environmental degradation as well.
So much so that the much needed (read essential to do) UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement is virtually impossible to fulfill unless we, as a global species make the switch to healthier, plant-based food choices.
This article will display how different food groups directly connect 5 health outcomes and 5 aspects of environmental degradation with each other.
Health is made from your daily choices. Do you know the answer to our question?.

Is it true that visceral adipose mass is associated with increased risk of hypertension, heart attack/angina, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia?.
And just exactly what is visceral adipose mass?

Health is made from your daily choices. Do you know the answer to our question?.
Question number 45 in our School of Fitness.
Most people know by now that healthy fit choices in the gym and the forest trail, at home and in daily life are nothing but a ticket towards increased health and life span, in body and mind.
But, the health of our biological system is made up of near-endless processes and aspects. And that certainly applies to the state of our brain. Hence today's focus on our brains hippocampal capacity and health.

Question number 44 in our School of Fitness.
Time for a short and sweet little one.
As stated in the subject line, lean muscle mass has another weight/density ratio than fat, so a body mass that is made up of more fat and less lean muscle mass will display a bigger mass at a lower body weight, while a body that has a greater amount of lean muscle mass will actually have a higher body weight compared to what its body mass might make you believe.

Question number 42 in our School of Fitness.
Fitness has been established in scientific studies in the last few years as a health-improving daily life painkiller.
Making it even better is the fact that it comes completely free of cost and nerve-wracking & time-consuming doctors appointment and unhealthy side-effects. Lowering pain and debilitating health issues such as arthritis while fortifying your lifespan and health.
But is that tremendous gratis painkiller effect applicable to menstrual pain too?.
Arctic Sunrise - Year 4.5 Billion The camel that could have been a leopard.
One of planet Earth´s most unique land-living animals still roaming about in the wild also happens to be one of the cutest and most enchanting, and gentle colossuses that have ever existed. Yet, somehow, despite the towering size and unique characteristics of these majestic critters they are also one of the lesser talked about wildlife stars. And so it happens that by now they are like so many other species highly endangered without anyone really paying attention.
But perhaps that is the reward that life gave these majestic beings that float across the land they call home as if they are majestic land dwelling whales. A backseat in the human consciousness as we proceeded to decimate their global population with 40 or so % in less than 30 years.
Fitness is built upon your own anatomy. Do you know the right answer?.
Question number 41 in our School of Fitness.
Beneath the tasty, delicious joy and sexiness of a life built on plant-based food and fitness, the weights you lift, the miles you walk and run. The mountains you climb, and the sandbags you punch and kick there is not just a burning passion and increased life quality. Nor is it just a question of the enhanced health and joy you can touch and feel deep inside both body & mind.
No, there is also this marvelously progressive thing called science. Because all the physical fitness things, the sweat and healthy living discipline that others see are ultimately powered by the all-encompassing facts of biological life.
Looking at the impact of sugar in food and beverages.
Sugar is a much beloved sweetener. Craved like a lovers touch by most biological beings that dare to ever look into the abyss and allow its tastebuds to grace this natural force of addiction.
But as much as all things living seemingly enjoy the taste of sugar and more modern artificial sweeteners. Scientifically speaking the bad health impact of sugar ( from obesity to diabetes and cancer risk, poor dental health and non existing nutritional value ) and other sweeteners have thankfully turned countless of humans into die hard "no sugar" please sentinels. So let us take a brief look at a brand new 2019 study and let us find out if this study too will add even more reasons to say no to sugar and other sweeteners in your food and beverages.
Question number 39 in our School of Fitness.
I have talked about telomeres in years past, and fitness too obviously :).
But such is the world of fitness, science, and health, it often revisits old "truths" and sometimes upends them because our knowledge has deepened, while new studies at other times will simply fortify and acknowledge what we already knew to be true.
So what will happen today as we travel back to the world of that peachy sounding telomeres thingy that keeps wiggling its cute little tail inside of us? Let us find out.
My Question:.
For this particular study, published in European Heart Journal, Nov 2018, we´ll uncover what happens to the length of our telomeres when we do long distance endurance training, high-intensity sprint intervals, nothing at all or lift weights in a so-so way in the gym ( yeah, color me unimpressed by the strength plan in this study, but hold on to that thought as you read on because I will get back to the fairly inadequate strength training and why that too matters. ).
The question, which option is the best for maintaining the length of our telomeres and what is the worst?.
Nothing fancy or big worded to say today, I am just drinking some tasty fresh black coffee while various death metal songs keep pumping through my livingroom gear.
