Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on July 23rd 2007. Click image for larger view.
I enjoy watching clouds and I enjoy watching mountains so why not take pictures of them together. Looks like the clouds are hugging the mountain

Nice work. Was the picture taken from another mountain, or from aircraft?

I was just talking about Norwegian landscapes with a friend that has travelled the world on a motorcycle, and she was telling me that they are the most astonishing landscapes she has ever seen… It has to be great being a photographer in your country.
I think you are really talented… do you ever take pictures of people or just landscapes?
Anyway I will definitely stop by in the future…
Regards
Claudio

This is a beautiful cloudscape. I just spent the last half hour exploring your wonderful photography of Northern Norway. I really enjoyed seeing a part of Norway that one usually does not get to see.
