In this photo I was lucky enough to catch the raven when it was divided between the blue sky and the snowy mountain. The raven was flying very fast so it was only luck on my side :)
Currently the sun have disappeared here in Northern Norway so I’m impatiently awaiting it’s return so I can take more pictures like this. Going on photo trips when everything is grey and sleet comes down from the sky is not fun.

Check out my other raven photos of a raven sitting on a boatshed roof and a raven flying into “gods eye”.

Back in April I found this raven sitting on the roof our boathouse. Maybe it was Hugin or Munin?

Loved the way it the black raven created a contrast to the white snow-covered mountains and blue sky.

The mountains you see are located on the island Senja (the second largest island in Norway).

I was hunting down this Common Raven (Corvus corax) with my camera and suddenly it took flight. My camera was in manual mode and was not set to take a photo with the sun in it.
I must say I’m pleased with the result as it is somewhat different. Might call this photo an accident ;)
