Yesterday I took a trip with my family to Verdens Ende (World's End) in Norway. We were very fortunate with the weather and the light. I took these photos with my G11 using the Canon FA-DC58B and a polarizing filter.

Very nicely done. I recently purchased the same filter adapter, with the intention of attaching a polarizer filter for walking around with my G11. The smallish adapter provides a nice place to hold the camera with your left hand, while the right hand can more easily adjust controls. Kind of like my old SLR days.
I know there will be folks saying it defeats the purpose of a small camera, but it will be an option for me to test during a trip we have next month, as well as around here until then. It's easily removed and stored in a small bag or coat pocket when not needed.

Nice shots. Thanks for posting them.
I wonder how many countries in the world have similar names for their outermost edges — Verdens Ende in Norway, Land's End in England, Finisterre in France, the Romans' Ultima Thule. At least Norway's apparently hasn't been turned into a theme park yet.

Beautiful shots. I think I like the tighter crop the best. We were in Norway a few years ago and visited Bergen and Oslo. We were in Bergen for the festival of the lights, it was magical. Also the the Norway in a nutshell trip one day. I still use the Vigeland Park sculptures in my powerpoint presentations. A wonderful country with wonderful people. I hope to return one day.

1st place goes to 1st photo. (IMO)
I would like to purchase in my country one of those filters, but here its hard to find a store where to buy.

Beautiful shots. You have inspired me to purchase the same gear. Which polarizing filter did you use?

Thanks for sending them. I can imagine how cold it was there. How do you get your camera to keep working in those conditions?

I'm glad you guys liked them, it was an amazing day. I had my family from America visiting and was glad to be able to show them one of Norway's natural treasures.
@ ManaPunkin: I have a ProZigma 58mm circular polarizing filter.
@ Stephen: Tusen Takk! It was only about -5c. I just keep the camera in the pocket of my winter coat. A lot of people make an issue about the size of the camera with the filter adapter attached, but winter coats have big pockets and it fit fine.

He said it was -5 C so only 32 F, not too cold really. I've taken my G11 out in 0 F to 15 F temps, so winter coats with large inside the coat pockets help keep it warm enough between shots. Tromping around on snowshoes helps keep your body warm too.

I googled this ( ProZigma 58mm circular polarizing filter) and couldn't find it. Could it go by another name? Do you know its price range?
Thanks.

This is the one I have
http://www.fotovideo.no/Avdelinger/Produkter/Filter/Solblender/Polarisering/Prozigma/ProZigma-Filter-C-PL-Multicoated-Polafilter-122400.aspx
Might be that it goes by a different name outside of Norway. 495 NOK is about $86 USD, but things in Norway tend to be more expensive, I imagine it will be cheaper elsewhere.

Love the setup with the Canon Filter adapter. Do you have a special carrying case for this setup? By the way, in the US, Sigma, I believe, is the manufacturer of the circular polarizers most probably like yours.

I don't have a special case for it with the adapter. I usually keep the adapter off, and just put it on when I'm ready to start taking pictures, keep it in the pocket of my coat when not shooting.
Yeah that's an old school basket light house, it was built in 1932.
glad you liked the photos =)
