Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 27th 2008. Click image for larger view.
I was visiting the island Senja this weekend, but the weather was really bad with blizzards hitting us all the time. In between the snowfalls I was able to go outside and have a look (and take a few pictures) at the ocean in turmoil. In this picture you can see the west coast of Senja where the island meets the Norwegian Sea and next piece of land is Greenland. The waves can be massive if the wind come from the right (wrong?) direction.
The mountain on the left is called “Teisten”.
Check out some of my other pictures of waves here and here.

Beautiful pictures from a beautiful place.
Brr… This view gives me chills, has to be so cold!
Looks beautiful for such a bad weather!
Bad weather sure makes for some grat photography eh? Love it! 🙂
Great photo! I love the way the clouds seem to “just meet” the sky! The water and the icebergs are captured perfectly!
I am never disappointed when I come to see your photos. This one made me feel even more chilly than I already was. 🙂 It is only about 68 degrees in the room I am in, and the photo makes it feel about 68 below zero!
Gorgeous, though it looks very cold!
Helloooooooooooooo!
I am coming on an expedition to the Arctic in June.
It would be great to have a cup of tea with you.
Your photos are brilliant!
My mummy has you on her blog.
I have a blog now, do check it out sometime.
Beautiful but harsh, as Mother Nature can be at times.
Gorgeous photo! I love the blue cast to the entire shot — makes it seem even more cold that it may have been (but probably WAS). I’m sitting here shiverring!

It looks like a Turner painting.
Very nice picture. It looks very cold just looking at it.
Yeah- Senja again, I need to find some free pictures of Senja the island for my daughter Senja’s scrapbook. Don’t worry I won’t snag yours, I think it will be very interesting for her to know that there is an island named Senja. (That is once she can talk about it.)
Great shot. The colours really do portray how cold it is there. I was in there in late November, frozen half stiff, but it was worth it to get some pictures at by the lighthouse at the tip of Husøy. I’m impressed by the people living there…
