The autumn have come to northern Norway and it is giving me some nice colors to photograph. Stay tuned for more autumn photos from Norway in the weeks to follow.

The first photo is a macro picture of a plant called dwarf cornel (Cornus suecica), also known as bunchberry. Love the deep red colors the leaves get in the autumn. In the photo you can also see some reindeer lichen growing on the right side.

In the next photo you can see how fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) look in the autumn. The white parts are silky hairs that contain seed capsules. Wind will carry the seed capsules and if there are lots of fireweed growing it can look like snow.
In the background you can see typical autumn weather in northern Norway with clouds hanging very low in the mountains.
Check out this photo if you want to see fireweed flowers.

Another picture I took back in February. At this time of the year the sun is only shining for a hour or two and in this photo the sun has disappeared below the horizon. The golden reflections are coming from sunshine higher up in the snow filled mountains. It was a very beautiful sight.

Look closely at the picture. Doesn’t the stone look like a crocodile head?

Photo of winter trees - Norway Spruce covered with snow

Took this picture back in February when the forest was filled with snow. I think the scene looks like it is taken straight out of “The Chronicles of Narnia” with all the snow hanging on the Norway Spruce.

This place can be quite spooky in the summer as the trees make a very dark passage in the forest.

As you can see in this photo, summer has not completely left northern Norway.

These rocks are part of an old seawall that protects our boats against the wild storms that can hit northern Norway in the autumn and winter.
You can see the seawall with waves beating against (and over) it in this photo and in this photo with more calm weather.

Black and white photography is not a thing I have done much of, but I think it suited very well with these wonderful snow textures. The wind is a talented artist!

You might notice that the photo was taken back in February. Have been a bit busy and it have been raining all the time so few photos lately. Hope it will change soon 🙂
