Picture of sunset within a winter forest in Northern Norway

I was walking in the forest the other day when the reflection of the sunset started to glow on the snow around me. I had to take a picture of the beautiful scene with the trees covering the sun making a natural filter for my camera.
If you look at the photo in large size you can see some spots where the snow has melted and some old grass is peaking through. Spring is right around the corner here in Northern Norway 🙂

Check out this picture of snow covered trees in a scene looking a bit like The Chronicles of Narnia.

If you have been following this blog you probably know that I enjoy taking photographs of the simple beauties in nature. I was walking the beach and liked the colors on the stones, seaweed and ocean so I photographed the scene when a small wave came in.
The light this time of the year can be marvelous 🙂

Check out this photo from the same beach but at midnight during the summer when there is light 24/7.

Picture of decaying old Norwegian fishing boat on land
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera March 7th 2008. Click image for larger view.
Old Norwegian fishing boats made out of wood is one of my favorite objects to photograph. In this picture you can see a fishing boat that haven’t been on the ocean for many years. It is kind of sad to see it decaying away and not being used for fisheries. Maybe one day someone will restore the boat and bring it back to the ocean where it belongs. If I only had the crafting skills..

Check out this picture of another old fishing boat on land where I have added “lomography” effect. Follow Photos from Northern Norway on Facebook.

I love all the small, beautiful details in nature. Like in this picture where I have photographed a small wave breaking over a chunk of ice on the coast in Northern Norway. If you click on the image and look at it large you can see how the ocean have formed the ice and look at the lovely colors of the ocean.
If one takes the time to sit down and observe there is always something interesting to be found in the nature 🙂

Check out this picture where the nature have made some ice UFOs.

In this picture you can see a small fishing boat that is called “sjark” in Norwegian, sailing on the fjord. These small fishing boats are very typical for the fisheries on the coast in Northern Norway and I’m hoping that some day I will be doing fishing from a sjark too. They can be quite expensive to buy especially if you want to buy the boat with a quota for commercial fishing.
The spots over the boat and in the sky are seagulls and not dust spots on the camera sensor/lens 😉

Here are a couple of other pictures of fishing boats on the sea in Northern Norway:
–Old fishing boat on a calm sea
–Boat in autumn scenery
