The days are definitely getting shorter here in Northern Norway! I took this picture 4 PM in the “evening”.
I really love this scene with the combination of mountain and sea (and of course the boatsheds).

A similar scene, in a spring setting, can be seen in this photo.

Picture of sunset reflection in a puddle
Taken with Canon A70 digital camera winter 2006. Click image for larger view.

I took this photo very early in the morning (6 AM) when I saw the beautiful moon lightning up the landscape. As this picture was taken in the middle of the winter, moonlight is the closest we get to see the sun in Northern Norway.
Today is the first of November. That means I have about 17 days left with sunlight before the sun disappears..

I used a cheap compact camera in this shot so that is why the quality is a bit crappy, but I think it’s still a beautiful scene if you don’t pixel peep.

I found the reflection in the puddle, of the the sunset clouds, to be very beautiful. The reflection looks even more beautiful than the real clouds. A simple puddle can create nice pictures if you use your imagination 🙂

The weather has been very bad the last few days here in northern Norway so I welcomed this opportunity to photograph the small opening in the heavy layers of clouds. Maybe I should go outside and photograph the bad weather?

Photo of mountain being illuminated - Blizzard in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera October 11th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo is from a day filled with strong winds and heavy snow, but there can be nice moments even in a blizzard. I took this photo when there suddenly was an opening in the clouds and the sun shined on the mountain (it’s a mountain on Senja, Norway).
I think this scenery almost looks like it’s taken out of an old painting. Nature is the greatest artist there is, in my humble opinion 🙂

Winter has come to northern Norway - Photo of waves on the coast
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera October 11th 2007. Click image for larger view.

The winter has come to northern Norway as you can see by the snow covered mountains in this picture. The snow comes from the north in “waves” and I was able to do some photographing in between all the snow.
I love photos of moving water so had a great time standing at the shore trying to capture the waves as they came crashing in.
Loved the splash in this picture.
