Photo of amazing red sunset at midnight in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on May 15th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This is one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen! I hope I have managed to recreate a small percentage of natures beauty in this shot.
The time was 11:30PM in the evening and whole sky and sea was red. When you see sights like this you take way too many shots. Afterwards it is really hard to decide on which picture to show.

Will be away for some time so the blog will be not be updated so frequently in the next couple of weeks, but will try to post some photos.
Please let me know if there is anything special you would like to see on my blog 🙂

Raven flying into Gods Eye

Raven flying into Gods Eye
Taken on April 17th 2007. Click image for larger view.

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 😉

    The days are getting longer and longer. This picture were taken at 10 PM in evening!
    The nights are also getting very light and as I’m writing this, at 2 AM, the horizon is still orange.
    We are just talking about a couple of weeks before the midnight sun is showing up here. I will be capturing it so you might want to visit this site later 🙂

    Seeing this in real life was very breathtaking and I have to admit that the picture does not give credit to the sight.
