I love massive cloud formations and today there were some really nice ones here in Northern Norway. It was snowing a little when I took this picture so it was nice to see the sun shine brightly on the clouds.

Check out this photo of cloud formations and midnight sun.

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.

The sun has finally come back here in Northern Norway, but because of clouds I have yet to actually see it. Later in the afternoon I got to see this spectacular winter sunset and because of the warm, still weather it felt like spring time. Had to take some pictures to share the sunset with you 🙂

8 days till the sun comes back in Northern Norway – Polar night sunset picture

8 days till the sun comes back in Northern Norway - Polar night sunset picture
The sun will reappear in 8 days, here in Northern Norway, and it will be first sighted between those small mountain peaks on the left in the picture. Can’t wait for it to happen 🙂
But the light can be very magical during the dark season too. Just like in this photo where suddenly the sky turned red.

The same mountain can be seen in this picture.

Picture of snow falling and a lonely tree in Northern Norway

I like the way I was able to capture the falling snow in this picture. The lonely tree and the greenish ocean in the background make the scenery look very desolate and cold.

Also check out this picture of my private Narnia forest and my 2009 Norway photo calendar 🙂 Also follow Photos from Northern Norway on Facebook.
